MAILS HITS THRICE;

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 31.-Walter
Mails, the "Great Mails" of former
Sacramento and Oakland clubs. and

st. Louis Cardinals, is back in Cali

ents. Once the opponents were the
Pittsburgh Pirates, once the New York
Giants.
National League batting averages,
according to local baseball experts,
show that Mails got three hits during
the 1925 season. But two of then
actually did break up ball games.

Mueller May Hurl Both
Sunday Games
for S. P.

Albert Atkinson. manager of the
Southern Pacific Sunsets, is praying
for a cloudy day Sunday as his team
prepares to tussle the I.-G. n. Sun
shine Specials in double bill at
Block Stadium for the unofficial rail-
road championship OF Texas. Little
Eddie Mueller. his speedball artist.
works best with slight haze to mask
his fast one, and If the day is right
it is probable that he will toss 'em past
the Specials in both games.
Manager ]. d. Harris of the Spe-
cials isn't worrying about the wealth
or. He believes his boys can stake"
the naughty Sunsets, and all he wants
is chance to prove it. The first
game will start promptly at 2 o'clock.
There is no "hokum" about the
championship aspect Of Sundays
games. One team. the Sunsets, is the
undisputed champion of the Southern
Pacific lines in Texas and Louisiana,
while the Sunshine Specials not only
won the local Commercial League title
but also hold victories over many Of
the strongest amateur teams in the
city. including the Mckinley Avenue
Methodists, San Antonio amateur
champions.
After having gone through the en-
tire season without meeting each other
and with each so dogsone certain it
was the best railroad team in this
part of the country. it was inevitable
that they would get together and fight
it out. A good day is expected to pro-
duce more than a thousand rabid fans
to watch the two teams do their stuff.
There were 200 in the stands last
Sunday when the rain and cold made
it necessary to postpone the affair.".
Lindsey is expected to pitch the
first game for the Specials, with Nose,
working the afterpiece.
Following is the line-ups of the two
teams:

AFFAIR

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 31-Tad Jones
Yale team this afternoon showed that
it can come back following its recent
defeat by Penn by running away from
the strong Army eleven, hitherto UNI
beaten, 2S to Z.
The Army Mule proved to be a
stubborn animal and gave the Bull
dog a hard fight.
The score. in fact. was tightly
knotted at seven-all at the end Of the
third quarter, the Army having scored
touchdown in that period.
The fourth quarter had hardly got
ten under way when Yale pushed over
the first of three touchdowns that
came so fast the bewildered Cadets
hardly could keep track of them.
Yale got its first touchdown in the
second quarter.

Santa Anna football team, the faculty

TAX LAW WILL
KILL BIG
BOXING

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-According
to experts, million-dollar prize fights
or boxing bouts are things of the past
in New York state. Well informed
politicians state that the next Albany
Legislature will pass a bill that will
meet with the approval of Governor
Smith, creating a new scale of taxes
on receipts from all boxing contests.
scaling gradually from 10 per cent,
the lowest rate, up to 80 per cent on
100000 and over.
The bill, which has been drafted
with extreme care, provides that the
money derived through the proposed
tax scale must be turned over to
State charitable institutions; that the
State Athletic Commission must divide
the seating capacity of each boxing
club SO that one-half of the seats shall
be sold for not more than So and not
less than 81 each.
NO SECRET CONTRACTS
Promoters must file with the com
mission the contracts entered into with
the boxers, who must be paid on a per-
centage basis, not with secret guaran-
tees. The proposed law will call for
severe penalties in the cases of promo
tiers and boxers who are found guilty
of making private agreements in vio-
lation of the rules.
Persons who are behind this radical
measure say that the tax scale will
be fixed in this manner: Ten per cent
on all receipts up to and including
100000; IL per cent on the money
ranging from $101. 200 to $4,000.
II per cent from Sill 900 to $4,000.
and so on, with l per cent for each
additional $4,000 until 100000 will
net 80 per cent. with the same tax
applying to receipts in excess of that
amount.
HOW 1T WOULD WORK
Should Dempsey and Wills, If pre-
vented from meeting on Indiana soil.
desire TO settle the question of supre-
macy in this city, after the passage
of the proposed tax bill. and the re-
ceipts should amount to $1,000,000.
New York State would be enriched to
the extent of 100000. the principals
would be forced to box for certain per
centages. not exceeding one-half of the
net, while the promoter would draw
down the balance, $2j0,000, cut of
which all expenses would be paid.
Dempsey once named S1,000.000 as
his price to box Wills or even Tunney
in New York. The proposed tax law
would reduce his share of the spells TO
normal figures. But the alleged cham
pion's financial ideas are so inflated
and he is so stubborn that it is safe
to predict that the new legislation
will keep him out of New York ring
forever, unless he finds himself des-
perately in need of money.

KUTSCH, MAREK, FRIEDMAN
SUCCEED TO GRANGE FAME

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Football pro-
duces a "Redr Grange but once in a
generation, but when that famous H.
lini star ends his period of competi-
ton this season there will be an I'M
usual number of first rate football
players left in the western conference
to fight for his honors. A remarkable
crop of new men is coming into promi-
nence, though the season is but a few
weeks old.
But the best.looking player in the
lot has been Kutsch of Iowa.
This Hawkeye looked like the best
passer in the conference two weeks
ago, and nothing has happened since
to alter that opinion. He has a nice
judgment in timing, and his throws
have an arrow-like swiftness. He is
good runner, more of the driving type
than elusive, but he has speed, and
once clear will not be caught. On
top of this ability, he has the cool and
efficient manner of the real athlete.
He is not likely to be perturbed much
by the Importance Of the game.

PEARSALL HIGH
WINS FROM
CADETS

Coach "Kotzy" Kilgorc's scrappy
West Texas Cadets ran into some
thing snappy in the way of high
school football teams at Pearsall FRI
day afternoon and were forced to ac-
cept the short end of a 14-to-6 count.
Defeated, the Cadets had the hon
or of being the first team to cross
Pearsall's goal-line this season. They
turned the trick late in the final
period, when three passes took them
the length of the field and Baggett
plunged over the line.

by his showing against Chicago. Ma
rex is another who had a great high
school reputation and lived up to il.
The injury to Bill Hunt of the Buck
eyes is unfortunate, for he promised
to be an outstanding player this
year.
Much of Northwestcrn's optimism
was based on expectations of great
work by Lewis and Gustafson, two
sophomore backs. Lewis already has
proved himself to be n reliable, if not
spectacular, fullback, but Gustafson
seems to be slightly disappointing.
At Purdue Wilcox was the big hope
and he has been delivering well. In
fact, Wilcox probably means the diff
ference between weak Boilermaker
team and good one.
SEVERAL GOPHER HOPES.
At Minnesota there are several
promising players who may make big
regulations before the season is over.
Murrel (another one of those Cedar
Rapids experts). Nydahl. Joesting
and Arendsee are four brand-new en-
tries, along with Graham and De
paw. two athletes of proven worth.
Nydahl was the favored youth two
weeks ago, but as yet he does not
seem to have won a regular position.
But everything about Minnesota is
obscure at present and will be until
Spears has to come out from under
cover against some real opposition.
Then there may be few sensations
among the Gophers.
Zuppke's only new backfield ac-
QUESTION is Daugherty, who was in
eligible last year. He needs more ex-
perience before he will be top rank
player. Leonard, out most of last
season with bad arches, has been do
ing well this year. Greathouse, the
only sophomore from whom much
was exected is just little too light
to be great in conference company.
MAROONS LACK ENTRY.
Chicago and Indiana are totally
without entries in this newcomers
sweepstakes. Duval was a very large
hope. but he has net had much chance
to pass. Some insist it is because
Stagg has been keeping him under
cover. Anderson is a good back of
the running type, but he is hard to
fit in with the rest of the Maroon
backs.
But il any one wants to picl, the
successor of Grange a parlay on
Marek, Kutsch or Friedman is the
best bet.

RAIN NO HANDICAP.

Pearsall seemed to be hindered very
little by the heavy footing and scored
touchdown in the opening quarter.
B. Sing, flashy quarterback. flipped a
long pass TO Brown, who took in the
remaining distance. Mckinley kicked
goal.
Their second touchdown was the
result of a "break." The West Texas
safety man fumbled one of McKin-
ley's long punts and Pearsall recov-
cred on the five-yard line. Sing shot
pass to Burks across the goal line,
and Mckinley again booted goal.
Except for their last despairing
overhead attack which took them the
length of the field and penetrated
Pearsalfs goal-line for the first time
this season, West Texas was almost
totally unable to make progress con-
sistently through the Pearsall defense.
Eaggett and Curry reeled off occas'
ional nice gains.
PUNTING COUNTS.
Pearsalls victory was due in a
great part to thu kicking of McKin-
ley, fullback, who averaged close to
40 yards throughout the afternoon.

HARMON IMPROVED.

But il the Badgers turn out an all
conference player, that one probably
will be Doyle Harmon. He gives every
indication of being so per cent more
effective than last year, when he was
n good halfback. This season he is
much more dagerous as a broken field
runner. Barnum, three-lctter ath-
lete in his sophomore year, has de-
veloped greatly over his form of last
season, and will be another big asset
to George Titles team.
Michigan, too, has obtained them.
The biggest find from the freshman
squad is Benny Oosterbaan, an end.

school, particularly as a basket ball
player, his playing in the Maroon ma
