ACTIVE CLUB PROUD
ALL REGISTERED

The Active club, composed of young
professional men in the city, have es-
tablished a record of which they can
indeed be proud. Every member of
this organization registered during the
first nine days of January, and are in
a position to exercise their right of
franchise.
What per cent of the city's popula-
tion can likewise say: Il am in a po-
sition to do my duty as citizen of
the United States?" Only a very
small per cent.
We can not do as well as has the
Active club and register during the
early part of January, but there is
nothing to stop us from registering
before the end of the present month.
Let us do so.
A democratic form of government is
a government, as Lincoln said, 'of,
for and by the people" and unless
We register and vote our government
may be governed by minority to the
detriment of the majority. Do your
duty as a citizen-register and vote.

CUMMINS DEFEATED
BY PROGRESSIVES

Senator Cummins, chairman of the
interstate commerce committee, and
known the country over for his activ-
ity in anti-strike legislation, has been
defeated, and Senator Smith, a dem
ocrat from South Carolina, elected in
his place.
While the progressives In the house
and senate are far from being in the
majority, much good in helpful legis-
lation can be expected form them
during the present session. The fight
for the Craftsmanship of the important
commerce committee has proven this
beyond a doubt.
The only way in which the progress
sive machinery can be upset is
through the coalition of the democrat
&c and republican forces, which does
not appear likely, as the only demo-
crat to break ranks during the chair
manship fight was Senator Bruce
from Maryland.

MAROONS ARE SEEKING
 QUARTERBACK FOR TEAM
University of Chicago Eleven Badly In Need of a Good
 Field General.

Chicago. Oct. 2. - University of Chicago is seeking a real first-class quarterback. Give the Maroons a capable signaI-caIler and they are bound to get somewhere this fall.
 Chicago has had some splendid pilots down through the years. The best Of them all, no doubt, was Wal ter Eckcrsall "Eckie" was bright star in all departments of the game. He could run, punt and as a field goal kicker had few, if any, equals. Then there Were also, Walter St"ffcn anl Pete Russell, as well as others.
 Chicago hasn't had a tirst-class quarter since Milton Eommcy back III 1921. Romnry was q brainy gen. cral, He was quick to diagnose an opponents weakness - and just 8s quick to take advantage Of it. It was EomToy who enabled the Ma rooms to heat Princeton three years ago on the Orange and Black field
 Michigan is badly in need of a pair of expert fankers. Stagg wants a real quarterback, Give both what they want and the Wolverines and Maroons will bear a bit of watching during the coming football season. Otherwise the husky Illini with team of veterans, look to have things their own way.

 The real fight developed in the PIP pace in which winners fought 1t out in the final heat. Brook Volo in the stable Of Lou Mcdonald was a big favorite but unsteadiness al- most caused his downfall, He made breaks in three of the heats but in the fourth was so much the best that he got up in time to win in a stretch battle. The first heat went to Spooks in a close finish with John g., the second went to Brook Volo that paced all the mile. Star Ruth won the third after Brook Volo and John S. got together near the, quar- ter. Mcdonald was thrown and John Us sulky smashed. Despite a break Brook Volo won the fourth heat and race. Brook Volo is own- ed by J. ]. Mooney of Detroit.

SARAZEN .FAVORITE
Dope At Latonia Is That Horse That Beats Sarazen Will Be Winner of Famous Meet.

Latonia, Ky, Oct. 9.--The horse that beats Sarazen will win the third international, was the prediction most frequently heard among horse- men and turf fans at Latonia fol- lowing the Vanderbilt gelding's sen- sational workout yesterday. Sarazen hreezed mile and quart CT in 2;04 flat, without urging.
 Sarazen will be engaging the French horse, Epinard, and several others for the first time, on Satur- day, having been deprived of the right to participate in the first two internationals by reason of being a gelding.

JAKE DAUBERL CAPTAIN OF
 CZNCY REDS, LS CALLED OUT
Veteran First Stacker Loses Decision When Great Um-
 pire Waves Him Out-Made Gallant Fight For Life

Cincinnati. Oct. 9.--Jake Daubert, captain of the Cincinnati Reds, died early today at Good Samaritan hos pital.
 Death came to the veteran base ball player after valiant fight against complications which set in following an operation last Thurs day for the removal of his appendix. Blood transfusion was resorted to yesterday in an effort to proong his life, but the illness had so absorbed his vitality that it was of no avail.
 Daubert's condition first became aggravated on the last eastern trip of tho Reds when he was taken i'll in New York. Manager Jack Hen- dricks sent him to his home in Schuylkill Haven, Pa., and his sud den departure led to reports that Daubert would be engaged to man.

O'BRIEN OUT FOR
 LEONARD'S TITLE
DeMarco's Friday Opponent
 Named by N. Y. Board

Cuddy De Marco, the clever little
 Pittsburgher who has been knocking at the door of fame in the light weight division for a couple of years Twill have the biggest chance of his
 career when he faces Tommy
 O'Brien of Milwaukee in the main bout of 12 rounds on George Null l ligan's opening indoor boxing card . of the season Friday night in the ] Field street armory. And this big chance comes about by an act of the New York state boxing commission in naming O'Brien as one of the . three leading contenders for Benny Leonard's lightweight title.
 Now 1t happens that O'Brien and DeMarco met few weeks ago in the Greensboro stadium in New York. After piling up a big lead in points in the first five rounds, De Marco ran into O'Briens terrific right in the sixth round, was fioored for the count of nine, steadily gave away points where he had been gaining them before and eventually lost the decision. De Marco claimed it was all mistake: that he hadn't watch ed O'Brien closely enough and that if he was given another chance at the walloping Irishman he would prove to the fistic world that his previous setback was all a mistake.
 Mulligan' has given him this chance by bringing the two boys to- gether in a Waterbury ring, some thing which several New York pro- motors had been desirous of doing. De Marco is hard at work Tor the the fight. He arrived in Waterbury Tuesday, went right to work and in tends to keep going right up to the day of the fight. His chance is at hand and he means to make the most of it. But he will not have anything on O'Brien in this regard. Ever since he knocked out Bill Gill more in Providence last week, the Milwaukee Irishman has been work ing out, knowing he will have to be at his best to repeat his previous win over the Pittsburgher. He doesn't intend losing that fine chance which the New York state commis- sion has given him to meet Leonard to slip away through any upset at the hands of De Marco. So it can be seen that both boys have much at stake when they face one anoth- CT Friday night in the Brass City ring.

 Taube is Detroit boy, Last year as sophomore, he won letters in three sports, baseball. football and basketball. He's a center fielder halfback and forward He plays 'em all well, but football is his spe- cialty, his work in 1923 being one of the high spots in the Boilermak- CTS play
 Were Taube with a stronger az gregation he would doubtless gain even more recognition. As it is, his sensational all-around ability is partly lost. owing 10 the fact thai he is performing on weak teams.

HOME RUN RECORDS
Nither Giants Nor Senators Seem Likely to Eclipse Other Marks fin Cireut Smashes.

The Giants and the Senators will have to work like beavers if they hope to attain the great record of last years players. In the 1923 series for the second time in the history of the classic four home runs were made. in one game. This tied the mark of 1916, and it seems that only miracle will enable the teams to better this record this year.
 Following are the home runs in the worlds series from 1903 to 1923 inclusive to date - Baker, Gardner, Ruth; Ward and F.. Meu- sel lead with three each; Daugherty, Clarke, Hooper and Kauf follow with two each. Marquard was the victim on four occasions and Adams, Rixey, Grimes, Harper, Barnes and McQuillan twice.
 Daugherty, of the Red Sox, in 1903; Hooper, of the Red Sox, in 1915; Kauff, of the Giants, in 1917, and Ruth, of the Yankees, in 1923, made two homers in a single game.
 Elmer Smith, of the Indians, in 1920, made home run with the bases full-the only time ir a worlds series game.

CAPITAL LOYAL ID
 BASEBALL OUTFIT
Casts Aside Business for To-
 days Game
By Tn. Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Oct. 9.--King base ball was back in Washington today prepared to put on his final act of the world series classic In 1924 in one or two scenes-depending upon the success of the. Senators in their tilt with the New York Giants in the sixth game for baseball's premier honors.
 Once again the nations capital thrust aside its other business to jam its way into Griffith stadium where today the American league pennant winners, with their backs to the wall, must defeat the Giants or yield finally their hope of world championship.
 No waning of enthusiasm or hope among local fandom was evident in the crowds that laid early siege to the ticket booths at the stadium for the several thousand bleacher seats put on sale at g a. m. All other space in the grounds had been sold out long before the outcome of the New York games had been deter mined. Hours before game time thousands of fans were on their way to the ball park girded for the tense moments of battle that would deter mine whether Washington tonight would still have a chance for the world title or must be content with it's first pennant in 20 years of de- feated hopes. Both teams, returned from New York to the scene of battle here last night. A crowd of more than five thousand at Union station shouted greetings and en- couragement to the Washingto~- players individually and collectively. If any of them were aware of the fact that the Giant players had ar- rived on the same train they gave little indication of it.
 Among the notables of baseball re- turning to the city on the train was Commissioner Landis, who said he knew nothing that would interest the public concerning baseball, and that he had fine meal on the train.
 Officials of the Washington club last night that tickets al- ready had been printed in anticipa- ton Of seventh game 10 decide the championship, should the Senators win today.

 The final taunt of fate was visited upon Johnson In the eighth, Kelly. who had been quieted on previous times at bat, hit a single to start it. Johnson walked Terry and then erred on Wilson's tap, filling the sacks.
