.NOTRE DAME ALWAYS
A THREAT TO BIG TEN

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 lP)-Notre Dame,
the outstanding midwestern football
team, unrepresented IN the western
conference, derives much pleasure
each autumn from standing on their
heads a few representative Big Ten
teams.
Not since 1921 has Rockne's annual
invasion Of the conference found the
South Bend team on the little end OF
a score, and that was when Iowa
conference champions, nosed out

the Illinois game.
Ohio state is the favorite to. win
from the Hawkeyes for the first time
since 1921.
Stagg, whose Chicago team is on
the short end of the odds against
Purdue for the first time in many
seasons, prescribed a stiff scrimmage
for his charges. Purdue drilled on

MIXING Two sports

It is certain that professional foot
ball will be talked pro and con at
the winter meeting of the two major
leagues.
One of the main topics Of conVer-
sation will be whether big league
players Should be permitted to en-
gage in the strenuous pasti?ne.
There are quite few college stars
in the majors who were as much at
home on the gridiron as the diamond
during their ''rah rah' days.
The popularity that professional
football is enjoying has opened g
new field for these athletes. For tive
months play some of the stars can
set as much money as for six months
labor on the ball field.
I understand major league owners
are adverse to having these players
risk injury on the gridiron. 1t is
rumored that Connie Mack has al
ready forbidden Walter French from
playing.
1t wouldn't surprise me if major
league contracts of the future car

TITLE CHALLENGER

4 NEW YORK, Oct. 10. - Up - Jack
Sharkey, another Boston strong boy"
who defeated Harry Wills, placed him
self on record with the New York state
athletic commission today as a chal-
lenger of Gene Tunney, worlds heavy
weight boxing champion The commits
sion received the challenge as informa-
tion and placed it on file where it will
receive consideration, it was intimated,
when and if challenges are in order.
Sharkey was the first TO file formal
challenge with the COMMISSION.
While Sharkey was attempting to
qualify for further rim gactivity, his
victim was told that he cannot box in
New York for 80 days even if he wants
to. Wills was suspended for that pc
riod for fouling Sharkey, this being a
routine consequence. of his disqualifi-
cation under the rules of the commits
ion.
The commission indicated that chal-
enges may be submitted and filed, to
De taken up in order should the situa-
ton seem to warrant action.
Gene Tunney, the champion, has an
nounced that he stands ready to box

WHAT NAMES, WHAT NAMES!

Isn't 1t funny thing that names are perverted, twisted and even distorted?
 Take yours for inst. Has it ever been mutilated? We'll say it has if it isn't a sub- stantial one like Smith or Johnson.
 Now take for inst Hoffman, which is common enough name In Seward the name is mystery and as far as the Gateway is concerned we think mystery without the "hash" is putting it mild Joe, the owner of the Belmont House refuses to accept the eX- cess baggage of another "F'' and spells it Holman" Then we have Miss Elsie Hoff- mann, who thinks a lot of the alphabet and takes two "Fs" and to make long story short or short name long, she adds anoth- CT "n," which, as far as we are concerned is all right But what we are trying to get at is the word "Eielson" There isn't pa per that doesn't spell the aviator's name Eileson They are prone to print 1t the other way, thusly, "Eileson," which is may be all right too with Eielson because he knows that they don't know any better, We asked Ben about it when he came thru with Wilkins and he says the other papers don't know any better which we took as con- plete 18O pound of steam, but like good en- zine we didn't blow off before the crowd until now That's one for our side. The Fairbanks Collegian, criterion for "Heng fish," taking the proofs for their magazine as an example, had in their copy in not less than 50 places the word 'Eileson," which didn't do much less than gore the operator when he saw it. The operator took chance with the "College boys" and corrected their error and found that he was correct Now he walks around the office thinking that he has wonderful memory even tho he refused to be enticed by the 'enviable" Hamley the boy who went south with Web ster and is trying to cop the laurels that "Murdock' is coming to Seward with. All is well at The Gateway, but when the oper- ator sees Ben's name turned inside-out, you can mark up score in the back of the dictionary-on the memo" page if there is room. We'll furnish the inserts So when your name, if it's anywhere within the jur- isdiction of the "Henglish" language comes to our desk and is printed wise versa, don't blame us. We are waging war with nom- enclature himself and ask your assistance.

Time TO FIX
THE BATTERIES

Automobilists will find this a
mighty good time to so to Blodgett s
garage on Willow street, Augusta.
Fail is the time when batteries
need attention. Blodgetts is able to
give this needed attention and bat
terry service of all kinds, with es-
pecial service for U. S. L. batteries
is leading feature of this hustling
establishment.
There are some owners of cars who
feel that, because the time is ap-
preaching when they may want to
put their cars away for the winter. II
is not necessary to have their bat
teries gone over. This is not the
proper attitude to take as any auto
mobile authority will say, Batteries
need even more attention after a long
summers work and for this reason
the services of the Blodgett experts
will be advisable
But battery service is not the only
kind that is provided by Blodsett.
On the contrary. they give all kinds
OF automobile service. Vulcanizing
is one of the leading activities of the
place. The Blodgett vulcanizins
plant is one of the best in the central
part of Maine and hundreds of calls
are made there for service.
The far-famed Kelly Springfield
tires are carried by Blodgett and the
even more famous Texaco gas and
oil are dispensed to satisfied users
of these commodities by the establish
ment on Arsenal street. Blodgetts is
a place of unceasing activity, for
there is never a minute of the day
when someone is not there to have
some one of the many services spe-
cialized in performed.

AN ENTHUSIAST
At HIS WORK

Just as all the world loves a lover
SO does all the world love an en- :
thusiast.
1t may not matter Just what the
enthusiasm may be about, but so long
as man or woman is interested In
his or her work and Is determined
to carry it through, then will he OF
she be commended. ~
Bob Parker. junior, is an enthu-
siast. He is enthusiastic over radio
and, as result, there are few men In
this neck of the woods who know
more about the subject than he does
More than that, there are few men
who are consulted more or who are
liked better than this same Bob
Parker.
Parker's on Cony Hill, Augusta, as
has been remarked before, is an in
stitution of merit. Bob Parker, be-
cause OF his interest In and knowl-
edge OF radio, occupies a peculiar
position of popularity in this section
He is q friend Of every youngster
who has ever gone into the little
store on the side of the hill. and
every kid, no matter of what age
will swear by him.
But Parker's is noted for MANY
more things than just the radio
While caring for the latest electrical
contrivance to interest humanity is
one OF the big features of the estab-
lishment. there Is really very little
that cannot be fixed there. Skates
are sharpened. keys made and fitted
baby carriages repaired, bicycles
fixed, shoes tapped and repaired
saws sharpened. razors honed. 1t is
the one and original fix it, place il
ever there was one.
Bob Parker, senior, carries much Of
the burden of the shop. He Is JUS
as we'll liked as Bob Junior, and &
certainly must be an off week il
somebody cannot go into the Parker
place and be interested at once
There are no end of things carried
for sale there, too. Just how man,
different items there are 1t would bt
difficult to tell. Perhaps the propri
etors themselves don't know, but tn,
youngsters like to go there, look ovel
the goods and invest a cent or NOR,
in some of the knick- knacks that ar.
carried as we'll as the big pricel
things.

IL Is bit of distinction these DAVIS
to be able to hold friends in the au-

KIND things said that the average
man has come to believe there are
no honest men In the business. That,
OF course, is far from the fact and it
Is because there are men like L. F.
Aloee that such charge Is wholly
unwarranted.
Albee is conscientious worker. He
says little. as has been remarked, but
he does a whale of lot. A car is
brought to him, it is given the most
thorough examination and then the
work starts. There is no unneces-
sary delay, nor is there any guess
work. 1t is case of find the trouble,
fix 1t and get the car out of the way.
This Is the policy that Albee has al
ways worked on and it is one that
he will continue to follow. More and
more automobile owners will come to
MIN with their troubles and they will
always find a competent mechanic,
who has reasonable charges for his
services.
