SOCCER CROWDS
GROW; 1900
SEE GAME

Soccer apparently mas pleased the
fancy of San Antonio fandom. Prob
ably $500 spectators lined the foot
ball field in San Pedro Park Sun
day afternoon to watch an exhibition
of the old kicking game, improved in
recent years, between the st. Johns
Seminary team and the eleven repre-
senting the Mexico Football Club.
The match ended in n tie, 1 TO ],
after 90 minutes of speedy. wind-tak-
ing sport. In the first 45-minute
half-the players are constantly On
the go for these long stretches-neith-
er team scored, although both threat
ened and the Mexico club gave St.
Johns busy time Of it around the
goal for the first half hour.
The ground was hard and the ball
consequently lively and there was
much milling and scrambling and
some remarkable kicks.
ORDNER SCORES.
ST. Johns attacked at the start Of
the second half and, following q fun
BILE BY the goal-keeper, Ordner booted
the ball through for the Seminary
point. Exceptional defensive work BY
the Mexico club players prevented
more scores in the next few minutes.
Hildebrand almost got the ball
through, q hard kick striking the
cross-bar and going over instead Of
under.
With ten minutes left 10 play. the
Mexicans rallied. Baker who was
star for ST. Johns miskicked and AS
mir drove the ball for the Seminary
goal. Goal-keeper Staff was unable
TO clear it clearly and de Ia Pena
punched il between the uprights for
the tying point.
IN a rough-and-tumble finish. both
goals were defended with difficulty
and the game ended in a deadlock. ST.
Johns won a similar struggle, 2-1,
two weeks ago.

on both sides Sunday, both teams
showing steady improvement.

MASON BEATS MUCH
LIGHTER SAN PEDROS

.Outweighed heavily but fighting
gamely to the last cleat-track, the
poppy San Pedro Tigers went down
to defeat before the Mason MAYER
icks, 10 to o, at Mason Sunday.
The Mavericks offensive, led by
Bratton, b. Talley, L. Wood and A.
Doell, was too much for, the lighter
Tigers defense, while the powerful
Mason line held the Tigers to four
first downs.
A. feature of the game was the COM
pletion of a 5O-yard pass from Leigh
ton, Tiger captain, to J. Wilson.
Wilkes played a sensational defen-
sive game for the Tigers.
Coach Johnnie Dunsmore of the

HOUSTON, Nov. 9. The Rice

tender next year. So thinks Coach
John W. Heisman, grid mentor of
the Rice Institute. He says the
Slime" or freshman squad contains
at least two dozen men who could
step into positions on the varsity and
be ranked with the best players in
the conference.
Next year probably will see the
best sophomore squad that the in

to last for the next three grid sea

Fighters.
Richard is determined,
now that he and his hackers
have put around s5,O00,O0O into a
mammoth show-place, that all the
money taken in at the box office shall
not go to the fighters who headline
his cards.
Richard saids today while discuss
ing his chances of making the new
garden arena a paying investment:
The only fight that made money this
summer in New York was the milk
fund show"
LOSES $4,000
81 promoted two other shows on
my own hook and lost S35,000. One
of them was the Slattery- Berlenbach
fight, which drew close TO 100000
and the other was the Walker-Shade
fight, which put over $4,000 into
the box offices.
Il can't see why a promoter, TAX
ing all the risk and doing all the real
work, should lose money when the
gate receipts are that high. The
only answer is that the fighters get
all the money. That has got 70 be
stopped. They will have to be shown
that they are entitled only 10 a rea-
sOnable percentage of what they draw
and ! am going to show them that"
Il am convinced that hockey and
other events will pay well in my new
arena and If the champions and other
fighters who are drawing cards do
not come down in their demands they
are going to find that the new Gar
den will not use them. Matchmaker
Jess McMahon and i are confident
that we can create new cards among
fighters who do not want it all, and
we are going ahead along these lines.
MUST PROTECT INTERESTS.
AS a boxing promoter and manag-
ing director of the New Garden shows
/ owe it 10 the men who have put
many thousands Of dollars into this
venture to protect their interests and
see that boxing shows that draw big
money turn over TO them a fair and
reasonable percentage Of the profits.

champions and near-champions see
matters that way"
Richard hopes TO match Berlenbach
and Jack Delaney in a worlds light
weight championship match on Deem
Der IL and Babe Herman and Louis
Kid haplan in a titular worlds
featherweight quarrel on December

He is paying well for those fights
because they will be the first two in

FIFTEEN CAPTAINS.

only a football class but is well rep
resented in other branches Of sports,
including baseball. basketball. track
and tennis. Among the players there
is a national intercollegiate fencing
champion. And, above all, they are
students.
Coach Heisman has secured the SER
vices Of Coach X. ]. Hammil, former

If Thanksgiving doesn't look out,
Armistice Day is going to steal all its
football thunder.
Up TO two or three years ago, any
kind of football game that smacked
Of promise was always saved for the
Turkey Day program. This year, if
it were not for the fact that Main
Avenue and Breckenridge High schools
had decided to play their annual
classic on Thanksgiving Day instead
Of Armistice Day, the high spot in
the local gridiron season would have
been passed by November -.
On Wednesday. November II. St.
Mary's College will stage its most i'm
portaHt game Of the season when the
Rattlers tangle with the Dallas Uni
versity Hilltoppers at Schwab Field.

ARMISTICE DAY STEALS
THANKSCIVINC'S STUFF

elevens come to grips at Van Dazzle
Stadium for a title unique in the an
mails of San Antonio football-the
Mexican gridiron championship of the
city. Wesleyan Institute and Sidney
Lanier Junior High are inaugurating
at that time an athletic schedule

first time in local history that two
all-Mexican elevens have met over the
chalk-marks. Their game starts at

crew will have been sufficiently re-
covered from its November IL game is
not a certainty.
ALL IN GOOD SHAPE.
All Of the local teams are in fine
shape for their games Armisticc Day.
None had hard contests the last week
and were careful not to sustain in
iuries in practice. Breckenridge High
is the only one with a hospital list

strength by Wednesday. 'Dinkp Bass
still has n sore side and Hub" Fer
guson's leg is notin the best Of shape,
but Bass probably will be in there
against Austin High.

ing the mammoth Billy Sunday and

LETTERS TO
 THE EDITOR
As to Town Auditors
Sept. 10, 1925

Sept. lu, l925 To The Editor The Patriot:
 It IS a well known fact that audi tors of town accounts have reported, under oath, year after year. that they have examined the accounts of the town and found them correct, " when, because of errors, omissions and sometimes something worse. the town accounts could not be audited.
 If. as reported, the officials of Old Saybrook refused to open their books for inspection, they, to say the least showed poor judgment. Should the townspeople of Old Saybrook refuse or neglect to back up the Tax Com missioner in his effort to ascertain the true financial condition of their town, they will prove the old adage, that the voters are no better than those they elect Co represent them. The writers statement, made during conference with the late Gov. Rol- lin <. Woodruff, at the capitol during bis term of office. ia07-l90a. still holds good. Upon investigation it will be found that irregularities in town accounts are the rule and not the ex- eeption."
 Those feeding out of the public crib should be made to understand that public office is a public trust" Any provision of the general statutes re- quiring certain public officials to make return to the state tax commissioner ef receipts, debts and expenditures. that carries with it no compulsory penalty. enforcible by the tax com missioner. is. generally speaking, looked upon as a joke. Those having authority to make it undesirable for public officials tO ignore the law and the rights of the taxpayers. should specify a systematic method of keep ing accounts of municipalities and make the penalty for any violation of the law impressive IT public officials are to be allowed to handle public funds and to keep public records to suit themselves. of what use are laws and how does the power of our law makers compare with that of the law breakers?
 On page six of the tax commissions CTS quadrennial report. for 1924. we are told that the town deposit fund originally amounting to S764. 9S5 96 in lS47 has. according to report of the state board os education. deereas- cd to S6q3 .43542. The commission CTS report further states fnote the fact.

WORLD JUDGMENT coNcURs
Studebaker Largest Exporter of An
 tomobiles In U. s. A.

More high powered motor ears were exported by Stakeholder during the first six months of 1925 than by any other automobile maker in America.
 In most countries. this achievement was won against the penalty of a horsepower tax, which makes owner ship of cars more costly in proportion to their rated power.
 In England, for example. the buyer must pay a yearly tax of one pound per rated horsepower, or about SlIi on a Stakeholder Big Six. on which the power rating is 36.I. The smallest of the Studebaker cars. the Standard Six. carries a tax of Sl29.
 On the other hand, the tax on cars which compete with the Standard SIX run from Ssl to Sl00 each ratings be- ing from i7.3 to 23.l horsepower.
 In spite of this handicap. the de mand for Studebaker cars grew dur ing the first half of the year to such an extent that exportations exceeded those Of any other American maker Of highzpoWerod ears. Many high-pow- cred ears which enjoy significance in the American field obtained almost no lOukhuiu III Nht ibftiEH iHdthtts
 In much Of this territory. the Stude- baker Big Six enjoys a reputation sim liar 10 that which a Sl2,000 English make car enjoys in America among the more well to do.
 To such an extent has this developed that export of Big Sizes during th, period mentioned almost equalled the sum of all other American ears with an $. 4. E. rating of 90 horsepower or more.
