tho play, know how 1t is worked.
Even scouts who have seen it exc
cuted repeatedly. have failed to dia-
gram 1t properly.
The success of the play depends. Of
course, upon perfect execution. All
plays in foot ball. TO he successful
must be- perfectly executed. Abso-
lutte coordination by II men is neces-
sary.
But how
How 1t Is Done.
It is simple enough The play
starts out as slant. The quarter
ok fakes giving the ball to the end
who is coming around and apparently
10 supposed TO carry II. The defense
10 drawn in TO stop the end who, to
all intents and purpose. will try to
gain through the left side of the de
fensive lines. Then. when the defen-
sive ltnemen break through. thev dis
cover that the ball IS still in posses
sion of the quarterback.
There Is nothing strange in that
A play will miscarry at times and
the quarterback on these occa sions
Ia frequently left holding the ball
The defensive linemen now hurl
themselves at the quarterback An
instant before they reach him he
toSses the ball over his shoulder
One of the backs is behind him,
awaiting this move. The back
grasps the ball and starts to run
In the meantime the offensive left
end and tackle have gone through
and blocked out the defensive see
ondary. The back who is CARRYING
the ball Is too far ahead OF the de
fensive linemen to enable them Ia
reach him and he romps through
the secondary defense and over the
goal line because all the defensive
mon who were free have been
blocked off.
Spectator Misses Play.
All this the spectator misses
What the spectator sees Is what

MORSE BOYS WILL
Be FIRST VISITORS
AT WILLIAMS FIELD

The next event on the sport calen-
dar this week will be the arrival of
the snappy. scrappy football outfit
from Morse High School, which will
play Cony High School at Williams
Field Saturday. Backed by 100 root
ers and the school band the Bath
club is coming up to the Capital City
with the avowed intentions of taking
a Red and White scalp back down
the river.
Morse has practically a veteran
squad and will, without doubt have
the services of Bill Oliver. the husky
fullback who was the whole works
for Bath in baseball last spring. Cony
has a green but fast and heavy team
and expects to win but at the same
time admits that they have their
work cut for them.
Whichever team wins the game
should be hummer. II Cony scores
first fans will have a chance to see
rugged back in a desperate effort
to score The back will be Oliver,
who, according to reports is a real
hne plunger. II Morse scores they'll
earn it for Cony has a sweet defen-
sive team according 10 all the reports
that drifted back from Wilton. The
team deserves the support of every
fan and it is hoped that there will
be a record attendance at the sea-
sons opener Saturday.

Dempsey Turns
On the Weeps in
SeclusiOn of Hotel

Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-(P|-Jack
Dempsey broke down and cried like a
baby when he reached the seclusion
of his hotel and was alone in the room
with Jerry the Greek, his faithful lit
tie trainer, and Mike Trant. his com
panion. He was tremendously affected
by his defeat but bravely held UP
while making the trip from the sta
dunn to the hotel.
Dempsey. his left eye closed shut
and his right eye cut, was a pathetic
figure. After burying his face in his
hands for a few seconds he quickly
regained his composure and stretched
himself on the bed for a soothing rub
down at the hands Of Jerry. This re-
quired half hour. then Dempsey went
to bed happy in knowing that his wife
would be with him tomorrow.

SUPREME COURT

The first jury trial case OF the
September term of supreme court
was Charles A. JRaney of Skowhe-
gan VS.. Mrs. Arminda Smith of
Skowhegan, in which suit in the sum
of $500 was brought to recover
commission of $210 for the sale of
Mrs. Smiths home on Beech street,
which Mr.. Raney made last spring
to Rosa B. Butler. Judge Pattan-
gall suggested to the attorneys a
new procedure in opening cases for
trial before jurors in that at the
close of the plaintiffs opening that
the defending attorney have oppor-
tunity to present the defense's is
sue. This procedure was gladly ac-
cepted by w. F. Merrill. acting for
firm of Cover and Shumway. The
story of the case briefly told, as
opened by Mr.. Merrill, was as fol-
lows: Mr.. Raney, an antique dealer,
was at Mrs. Smiths in the early
spring trying to purchase a tray.
Mrs. Smith said she wished to sell
her place and that the price was
$1,000. Mr.. Raney learned that Mrs.
Rosa B. Butler wished to purchase
a home and he took Mrs. Butler
and son. Philip Nedeau, to see the
Smith place, and they didn't buy, as
price was too high. Mrs. Butler
and son looked at place at other
times and later purchased 1t at $2lOO
from Mrs. Smith. Mr.. Raney claim
I'd that Mrs. Smith agreed to make
him a present if he sold at her price.
After the sale Mr.. Raney, who
learned of the sale from Mrs. But
ler's daughter. went to Mrs. Smith
for his remuneration and Mrs. Smith
said she had put the money into
another place and had only 500
which she offered to give him and
which Mr.. Raney refused to &C.
cept and soon entered the suit. Mrs.
Smith stated to Mr.. Raney before
the sale that she would sell for
5000. Mrs. Smiths answer to suit
was general denial. Mr.. Shumway
stated that Mr.. Raney was not a
real estate dealer but rather a deal
err in antiques and that Mrs. Smith
when he was trying to buy a tray
told him she wanted to sell place
at $4,000 and II he could find Gus
toner she would give him a pres
ent. The witnesses for the plaintiff
were Mrs. Rosa b. Butler, Philip
Nedeau and S. H. Swain. a former
Strout agent, all of Skowhegan. The
first two witnesses in testimony
told story as given by Mr.. Merrill.
Mr.. Swain was called to testify as
to realtors commission and fair
price for selling place but Mr.. Shum-
way objected to that testimony as
Mr.. Raney is not a realtor, with
overhead expense. and that objec-
ton was sustained and Merrill said
Il guess I'll let you go home, Mr..
Swain"
The defense through the attorney,
Shumway, claimed that there was
no contract between Mrs. Smith and
Mr.. Raney concerning any commits
sion and that Mrs. Smith stated that
she would make him a present and

G. A. R. in Yearly
Meet at Des MOines

Des Moines, Ia. Sept. 23.-tPt-Vet-
Grams of the Grand Army of the Re-
public today put aside the drums and
flies that have enlivened the annual
encampment here. to select new
commander-in-chief and the city in
which to meet next year.
They were tired, too. from yester-
days long parade through the rain
and up steep hills to the state capitol.
approximately 1000 of them made the
journey afoot while others followed in
automobiles. 1t was a hard hike, but
each veteran glorifed in the fact that
not one dropped out of the ranks.
Names of six candidates were men,
toned for the Office of commander-in-
chief, but no great fight for the office
was expected by a majority of the old
soldiers.
One thing has been decided for GER
tain-that the Grand Army of the Re-
public will not disband this year or
any other year. Every member here
denied last night that such thing
even was contemplated in cheering
campfire speakers who expressed the
organizations opinion.

whom he said a large per cent of
cases are rightly decided upon. In
the laws of Maine all jurors are the
final judges in cases of facts but
that there Is a court where questions
Of law may be further considered.
The presiding judge has nothing to
do with deciding questions Of facts,
but the promise of the judge Is to give
instruction of the law and principles
of law applying to the specific case.
He requested that they bear in mind
that they are arbitrators chosen to
consider disputes, that they weigh
carefully all testimony and give each
question careful and faithful consid-
Grafton. Jurors should never take
duties lightly even in smallest cases
because all cases are important to
the parties and also to the public that
all will feel that when a case Is
brought into court that juries will
give best thought to have all Iues-
lions decided rightly. The Judge In
painstaking manner went over the
questions of the case gefore them.
The jury retired at o'clock and re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff in
minutes. Judge Pattangall compfi-
mented the jurors on the prompt
work.
The second jury trial case for this
term was that Of Adelard Savoy of
Fairfield represented by Attorney
Frank l. Ames of Norridgewock VS.
Joel York and Ralph York also of
Fairfield. represented by Attorney
George Chapman, and was a suit to
recover damages done by sheep of
defendant getting into\a seven acre
cornfield and bayfield, adjoining land
of the defendant between which for
about 100 rods there Is no fence ac-
cording to the statement Of the
plaintiffs attorney. The amount of
damage in writ was $500 but actual
damage claim was 5000. Eight wit
nesses besides Mr.. Savoy were sworn
for the defense. Mr.. Savoy was the
first witness to testify. He told of
the trespass of about Is to "a sheep
and that they frequently were in his
field and that he only realized $345
for. the corn which should have
brought 5000 or $500 and that he con-
sidered that the sheep ate or de-
stroyed about 10 tons of hay valued
in barn that year at $12 per ton.
That the second time the sheep We're
in his field he talked with the Yorks
and they asked what damage was
but Savoy said 1t was early for dam
age, but the Yorks agreed to take
care of the sheep but they didn't.
