PIRATES PLAYING
 PENNANT BASEBALL
Pittsburgh Finds Teams in the
 East Easier Than the West
(BY NEA SERNICE)

Pittsburgh, Sept. 12-The Pirates have found the teams in the eastern section Of their circuit slightly easier to whip than those in the western half this season.
 At least that's what the figures reveal for games played up to the first of September,
 Up to that time the Mcltcchnie cohorts had played in l25 tilts, winning a and dropping 46, an average of .6S2. Of the victories, 49 we're gained against Atlantic sea board teams and 80 in brushes with clubs representing the west,
 The 46 defeats were divided thusly: 27 against eastern outfits and 19 against those in the western division. The Pirate success in games with eastern units was .645 I and with those in the west just ,6l2
 McKechnie's lads found the Cards the easiest opponent copping 17 vic tories to three defeats. Brooklyn | didn't furnish much tougher op- position +anneXing but five tilts of the 19 played.
 Against the Giants the Pittsburgh machine grabbed 12 wins against seven whippings. It repeated the performance in clashes with the Braves. Cincinnati was distanced II times in IS starts and the Phillies il in 19,
 Only one club-Chicago-was able to outplay the Buccaneers up. to the first of September The Cubs won nine tits while dropping eight.
 In the S7 games the Pirates played with their two rivals-Giants and Reds-they came through with 2S

BOBBY JONES IS
 PERFECT GOLFER
Georgian Absolutely FlaWlesS
 From Tee to Cup
(BY JOE WlLLIAMS)

The wrighter stood at the eigh- teenth green with Freddie Mcleod, the Washington pro. watching one of the matches in the national anna teur golf championship at Oakmont several days ago.
 McLeod's pride and pupil, young Roland Mackenzie, the 1S-year-old medalist of the event, had just been eliminated.
 Bobby Jones will now go on 10 win the championship" remarked McLeod He will win because he is the only amateur in the country who plays every shot perfectly"
 There is no better way to charac- tcrize Bobby Jones. He is the per- feet golfer.
 Perhaps he is the first amateur this country ever had who is cap able of playing every shot exactly as it should be played, From tee to cup his game is absolutely flaw lesg.
 Consider some of the champions of the past:
 Walter Travis, who was winning titles back in the days when swank country club men drove prancing bay colts. had sound game but was lacking in distance both with his woods and irons
 Jerry Travers, who won the title four times, in two-year stretches, was an cratic driver. Travers fre- quently lost control of his woods en- tirely. On one occasion in cham pionship match he drove from the tees with his cleek exclusively.
 Chick Evans lack of consistency on the green forms one of the bizarre chapters of the national game. There were times when Evans would putt as If endowed by a magic touch, and at other times he wouldebe as helpless as if putting with a tail feather from a fedgling humming bird,
 Francis Ouimet--the Ouimet of 10 years back--was probably the closest approach to the Jones of today. Francis played most of his shots perfectly. If he had weakness 1t was in his brassie play to the green.
 Francis exercised preference for the long iron shot often 10 a point where he had to press" for dis tance, and pressing" never helped , anyone's play.
 But you can scrutinize Bobby Jones' play from bow to stern, Alpha to Omega, Atlanta 10 Alaska including the duly specified detours and not find single blemish, faint blush of weakness, or d timid sug, geation of uncertainty.
 Bobby is a master with all the wooden clubs, driver, brassie and spoon.
 He is a master with all the irons cIeek, midiron, mashie, niblick anC all the intermediates.

He is, In short, the perfect golfer and, as intimated above. the first one this country has ever had in the amateur ranks.
 Watching Bobby Jones play through week of high pressure tournament golf and seeing him master par at hole after hole with the dead drab regularity of a ma. chine. this query inevitably forms itself on your lips:
 "How is it possible for him ever to make bad shot"
 The answer is; He seldom does,

The Yellow Jackets wish New Britain to pick all the officials for the game with tho exception of the head linesman. They require that they be allowed 10 furnish this of- hcial to represent their interests on the field. This appears to be a very fair proposition 10 the local men and they have agreed to all clauses.

the considerations and no survey is
accurate which does not recognize
and coordinate them.
A third error Is the notion that
opinion is a satisfactory basis for
action on earthquake hazard. Opin-
ion has its value but not in problems
OF securing protection against forces
which threaten life and security.
Fact, not opinion, is the only safe
basis for action in emergency.
The fourth point made is the
foundations statement is that GER
tain writer's assume that research
and teaching work in earthquake
hazard has as its ultimate purpose
increased knowledge Of EARTHQUAKES.
This. the foundation says, is not true
for its real purpose is protection
against loss for, although they can.
not be prevented. the loss from them
can be minimized.
Expectancy of loss can be deter
mined but occurrence of the losses
cannot. We can no more predict that
earthquakes will not occur than that
they will. but probably loss can be
calculated on basis of observed.
recorded and tested fact similar to
that on which expectancy of life can
be determined.

League Council
Ignores Protest
Turks Over MOsul

Geneva. Dec. S.-(AP)-Turkey
lost the first round tonight in the
battle for Mosul. The council of the
league Of nations, despite a vigorous
Turkish protest, and even q threat
to leave Geneva Immediately, un-
animously voted to accept the con-
sultative opinion of the world court
as a guide to it's settlement of the
problem whether Mosul will go to
Great Britain as part of the Irak
mandate, or be handed over to Tur-
key.
The world court has declared that
the council has clear right definite
ly to determine the Mosul frontier.
Turkey voted in the negative when
the ballot was taken, but president
Schialoia announced that neither
vote of Turkey nor than of England
would be counted, in pursuance of
the terms of the covenant.
The next step of the council will
be a direct effort to mediate be-
tween the parties, but if this fails,
the general opinion 10 that the coun-
Gil would proceed to impose it's de-
cision on the disruptants if it can
secure the necessary unanimity.
Such unanimity may be difficult, as
M. linden, Of Sweden, is said to
lean towards an award more favor
able to Turkey than do his COL
leagues.

GUILTY Of MURDER
IN Staying BAGNANO

Litchfield. Conn.,, Dec. S-(Ap)-
Olympia Maori late today was ac-
Quilted Of the murder of John Bag
nano whom she shot and killed in
New Haven on FEBRUARY 2S last. The
jury, the second one to hear her case
in less than a year. was out one hour
and AZ minutes before returning a
verdict. The jury in the first trial in
New Haven last spring was unable
to reach an agreement.
When John S. Davey, the foreman.
gave the verdict, the young mother
dropped into the arms Of the iail ma
tron, Mrs. Mary Todd, who has con-
stantly comforted the girl during the
"a days of the trial.
At Asa the jury which retired at
3.lS, signified that it was ready to
come IN. The clerk of the court, w.
T.. Dodd, when the jury returned,
asked II decision had been reached.
I'VE have" replied Mr.. Davey.
What is your decision?" the clerk
asked.
mot guilty" was the response.
After the spectators had left the
courtroom, Judge Human asked If
there was anything further to come
before the court and Mr.. Koletsky
moved that the prisoner be dis
charged. This was done by the court.
X "Oh, I'm so happy!" was the only
comment Miss Maori made. She
went into the judges chamber with
her counsel and talked few minutes
to Judge Human. Then she left the
courthouse to be welcomed with
cheers by her friends who had ga
thered on the sidewalk.
In the crowd were Olympia's ia
Their and mother, her sister, Theresa,
her brother, Fred, and her baby,
Lucy. Her father has been at the
trial constantly, while the other
members of her family have been
here occasionally.
Olympia, her baby and many of
her friends then went to the hotel
where she received the congratula-
lions of the jurors. They wanted to
see the baby. Four of the Jurors at
the former trial and their wives were
present.
Miss Macri's second trial opened
in superior court here November 5
and was on its gath court day when
the case was given to the jury today.
In the first trial the case was given
to the jury on the twentieth day.
Very little new testimony was pre-
scented in the second trial than heard
at the first trial. The state used 3S
witnesses and the defense %. includ-
ing the testimony of witnesses in the
first trial, who did not appear at the
second, but whose testimony was
read.

Inc Watervflle Woman'S Club held
It's open meeting in Library hall Tues
cay evening. Some interesting sug-
gestions were read from the Chamber
of Commerce and the Club voted to
purchase two five-dollar bonds to add
TO the sum the city is raising in the
sale of health stamps.
At the close OF a short business ses.
sion the club had the pleasure of lis.
tening to the second of his talks be-
lore the women's club given by DIR.
Wilkinson on national sand internal
tioal affairs. Those women who miss
these discussions are missing more
than they can afford.
DR.. Wilkinson at the opening of his
remarks referred to the opening of
Congress and the annual message of
President Coolidge, which he reads
himself, as did Wilson and Harding.
Some of the phases of the presi-
dents message which DR.. Wilkinson
discussed were the proposal for the
consolidation Of the railroad systems
OF the country, sale of Muscle Shoals
to the highest bidder, and legislation
giving the president and departments
Of commerce and labor power to deal
with labor disputes in the coal indus
try. President Coolidge's advocacy Of
greater degree Of the states rights
in government was dwelt upon as well
as the presidents attitude toward the
proposed disarmament conference
which Is to be held under the auspices
Of the League of Nations. The latter
part of his talk was devoted to his
account of the political situation in
Italy, France and England. stating
that a new feeling of cooperation was

that those who thought that the &c

telephones were laboring under
false impression as this does not ap-
ply to the city proper nor to Fair
field but to the rural districts where
there are a large number of tele-
phones on each line.
From Fairfield the word came yes
terday that the chamber of commerce
of that town had appointed a COM
mfttee of three to act with the Wa
terville chamber in any future in any

The Student Council last evening
gave the first Christmas tree of the
college season to the children of
Waterville. This is the first time
that such an observance has been
held in the history of the college and
is but another step in the attempt
to strengthen the bonds between
college and the city.
The undergraduate assisted in
giving the youngsters good time
by entertaining with acrobatic
stunts and tumbling. Santa Claus
was unable to attend and because of
this the members of the Student
Council, under the leadership of
stephen B. Berry, '26. of Providence,
r.. l., president of the council dis
tributed the gifts. The student
council furnished the funds for the
affair but the entire college aided
them In the work. The names OF
fifty of the children of the city, both
North and South ends, were obtain
ed from the overseer of the poor and
these children invited to the tree.
These names were given to under
graduates and each youngster was
called for by a member of the stu
dent body. The success of'the affair
will probably insure it's continuance
each year and the present council
has done everything in its power to
make it an annual affair.
