M'GRAW SAYS CARDS
WILL HAVE TO FIGHT
HARD TO HOLD TITLE

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S [P) - The
worlds champion Cardinals are not
an outstanding club and must fight
every inch Of the way to retain the
National league title next year, in
the opinion of John ]. McGraw.
Outlining reorganization plans
which he believes will put the Giants
in the thick of the 1927 race, the
veteran New York manager today
indicated his belief that the Pitts.
burgh Pirates would be a harder
team to beat than the men of Rogers
Hornsby.
Pittsburgh will be dangerous" he
said. II believe Barney Dreyfuss
made a good move in picking DOME
Tush as manager. He is aggressive
and is a pretty smart fellow on a
ball field. In my opinion, he is a
.hig Improvement over ,McKechnie...
McGraw expressed the view that
the Pirates chances of regaining the
bunting would depend in large
measure on the. condition of short
stop Wright and Bushs' ability to
straighten7 out Pittsburgh's pitching
staff.

SEESTED AWARDED SUM
OF $500, 900 DAMAGES
AGAINST THE K. c. POST

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1S.-(R--A ver-
dict of 100000 damages was granted
Frank G. Seested, country circulation
manager of the Kansas City Star, by a
circuit court jury here late today in a
libel suit against the Kansas City Post
Printing and Publishing company. The
suit was based on an article appearing
in the Kansas City Post of November
2, 1921 whica was published at that
time by the defendant company, Of
which f. G. Bonfils and the late II. RI.
Tammen, Denver publishers, We're the
principal owners. The Post later was
sold by the Denver men. The article
charged that Frank c. Seested contrib
uted $1,000 to the imperial German
government before the United States
! entered the World war, and thai his
brother, a. f. Seested, general manager
of the Star, gave $4,000 to the same
cause The allegations were f1atly de-
MED by the Seesteds. r. Seested
was not a party 20 the suit.
The verdict was for the full amount
asked in Seesteds petition4 100000
actual damages and 100000 punitive
damages. The jury was out 22 min
utes.

RentinSg ,Em To II

Now that George Moriarty has
passed from the ranks of the UNI
pires to the inner circle of managers,
some yarns of his days as an arOi
traitor take on a new angle.
Seldom did player best Moriarty
in battle of wits, and the records
fail to reveal any lost decisions on
the physical side.
Moriarty had habit of beating
the pitcher and catcher to an argu,
nent by explaining his decision as
he gave it.
If he believed the ball too low,
he would rule it so, and as he called
the pitch ball, he would add "too
low"
If he ruled certain pitcn bali
for other reasons, he would definitely
tell why: inside, outside, or too hign.
Undoubtedly it saved trouble by
beating the catcher to the argument.
II might add when he offered al
explanation of his ruling it was
done in an emphatic manner, the
tone being most convincing.

Funny Incident

I still get a laugh when I thinh
of an incident that happened at the
American league park in Boston, a
few weeks after Moriarty had made
his debut as umpire.
Everett Scott, then playing snort
stop for Boston, figured in, the ep:-
s6de that got general laugh, ir.
which even Moriarty Joined
Moriarty was to work the balE
and strikes in the game, while !
called them on the bases. There
always is certain amount of argu-
ment over ground rules which muss
be adjusted by the plate umpire
before starting.
Thinking to strengthen his conri,
Gence, I permitted Mor.arty 70 handle
the situation himself 1t so happened
That several unusual points came uI
on which he was in doubt.
Each time he would hurry from
the plate to the Boston bench where
1 was sitting and ask my opinion.
1T became funny to all of us sitting 3
on the bench, after George had re-
peated the stunt three or four times.
On his next trip, Scott, noted for
his ready wit, beat him to it by
saying:
Light somewhere, George, so we
can start this ball game"

banquet held at the Y. M. G., "a.
Thursday night. The banquet was
pronounced the most successful of
the Kind yet held, the attendance be
Ting about 20 more than last Yeas
The program and menu were both ex-
lceptionally good. but the outstanding
Feature was the fine spirit that pre-
vailed throughout the meeting.
The sons outrumbered the fathers
because of the fact that some fathers
lwho attended brought three or four
boys whether they have that many
was given a meal, regardless of
whether he had a ticket.
An outstanding address of the pro,
gram was that of Reverend c. A
Foreman, who urged the fathers to
give more time to their sons. He
challenged the boys and fathers to
play the game Of life square, clean
and hard, and said that believed the
best way to do this is by following
the Christian religion.
II. A. Wimberley acted very cap
ably as toastmaster and told the
hoys number of interesting stories
that drew generous applause. He
predicted that the Douglas high schoo,
team will win in it's game with BIS
bee Thursday, which was followed
tby three cheers for the local team
The Douglas high school orchestra,
under the direction of Morris Davis
made, it's first public appearance at
the banquet and gave three excellent
numbers. Director DAVIS has under,
taken the training of this orchestra
voluntarily because he believes that
the young people of Douglas have as
much musical talent as those of other
cities.
Mayor Hinton gave the toast to
the sons and said Man was made
from dust, but the boys are made
from dust with q bit of electricity in
their makeup that accounts for their
activity" Harry Harding gave the
toast to the fathers and led in three
Irousing cheers for the dads. NJ o.
| Anderson, with Mrs Anderson at the
piano, led the singing, and fathers
and sons alike sang Justify.

WEALTHY CLERGYMAN TO
 QUIT CHURCH TO ''PREACH''
Dr. James l.. Gordon of San Fran cisco Wants to Get Closer
 to Real People.

San Francisco, Nov. IS A -- Dr. James L. Gordon, pastor of the wealthy First Congregational church of San Francisco, is quitting his pulpit to preach"
 His reason is set forth in an ar cember number Of Sunset maga- zine, in which he declares he will organize metropolitan church" in some suitable American city, and will preach to Catholic, Protestant, Jew and Oriental alike.
 Nobody will be asked to be lieve' anything or to Subscribe to any creed or to join any organiza- tion," said the article. "The rela- tionship of the metropolitan pulpit to it's audience will be the same as the relationship of high class theatre to it's patrons, only stronger because spiritualized by the force of a higher motive"
 T would rather preach to 5000 on a small salary than devote my time to 300 soul-seasoned saints, even though they could support me in luxury and comfort and guar antee an old age pension as a fitting climax to a useful life.
 "On September 1, 1927, I venture on my new experiment. in metropoli- tan preaching-a pulpit without a pastorate."

Trinity Changes Rule
 Of 103 Years Standing

Hartford, Nov. 15 fP)-Trinity col lege has granted its student body the Thanksgiving weekend as a holiday, thereby eliminating a rule which has stood for 103 years. Until this year Thanksgiving day itself has been the only cessation of academic work from the opening of college 10 the Christmas vacation.
 Year after year the college body has petitioned the faculty early in November for Friday and Saturday vacation after Thanksgiving and year after year the petition has been rejected. It has grown to be a sort of tradition which was carried on more as game than anything elso,
 This year the petition again was presented as usual and a few days ago an official announcement ap- peared on the bulletin board, stat ing that there would be no classes from Wednesday afternoon until Monday morning.
