game of the season from Kents Hill

do you think he did, quit the game?
He merely had his left shoulder ban
daged so as to conceal the true Ioca-
ton of his injury from the Yale play
ers, and played on until they had to
carry him off.
The Penn State captain, whose
hands and face were badly burned by
the explosion of a lamp in one of the
study halls week before the Pitts
burgh game, was hero, even though
his team lost. In spite of blistered
and SCARED face and hands, he play
ed a whale of a game, and proved
himself one of the earnest men in the
history of American football.
And so it goes in every sport.
Pluck, the competitive spirit, cour-
age, the instinct to carry on in spite
of hurts-whatever you want to call
it, it's seen on the eridirons, dia-
monds, links, rings, and playing fields
of the world every day in the year.

Young Rooney, who formerly fough&
out OF Lewiston but who now gets
his mail In Berlin, il out with a chal-
lenge to any bantamweight in the
world and will also fight in the n.y.
weight class il 1t Is necessary. He
wants to fight Duke Menard, claim
ant to the fiyweight title in Maine
and promises to hang a piece Of crepe
on Menard's youthful career. Rooney
is an aggressive battler and good
drawing card.
The fans are still boiling down that
Legion Waterville game Friday eve
ming and the most of the fans who
missed out on it now want to. see a
return game between the two teams.
AS the Legion management wants to
bring the team back when there is
money enough in it to pay the Wa
terville club what they are worth, the
meeting of the two teams will prob
ably not be held before the middle of
January.
The Legion team is slated for plen-
ty of action this week. They play
Vickery and Hill in Augusta City hall
next Wednesday night and Richmond
at Richmond next Friday night The
Legionaires and the Publishers are
two of the fastest teams in Central
Maine this year.
Ken Trask, who played center part
of the time for the American Legion
Friday night against Waterville got
badly banged up in the game down
at Richmond last evening and may
be out of the game for a while Trask
split his knee open in the rather
rough game and in the event that he
is laid up the Publishers will suffer
as Trask is easily the most agrees
sive man on the club and an asset
to any team.
Trask, while not tall, is one Of the
best pivot men in the state. thanks
to the coaching of Jimmie Comedian.
Trask either gets the tap or at least
gets a finger on the ball. A finger
is sufficient to bring the ball down
into his own arms and his team has
the advantage of gaining the posses
sion of the ball. He compares very
favorably with any center in the
state with the possible exception Of
Bill Perkins of Bath.
incidentally Buddy WlnSlOW looks
a lot better than he has looked for
some time. In former years he mas
been handicapped by being with
slow club but is in with q fast out
Eft this winter He works the corners
to perfection and is a decided asset
to the Vickery and Hill court crew.
A class team from Bowdoin college
is willing to come up to Augusta and
play against the newly formed Leg
ion team and they will be given
chance to show their wares before
the season is much older. The Legion
is playing them as fast as they can
and is putting up some rugged bat
ties as fans who saw the first two
games of the season will testify. The
team has a tough schedule this win
ter and will play any team which the
fans want to see them up against.

City Claims Committee Hotly
 Resents Charge Of Ufairness
Lawyer Hints Claimants Are Coaxed Into Disclos- ing Strength of Cases, Then Turned Down.

A statement by Attorney Monroe | S. Gordon that he has heard that
 the claims committee of the common council has the reputation for being
 body to obtain an insight into the
 evidence In cases against the city
 without intending to make fair set 1 dement's if it is possible to avoid doing so, brought warm retort from Councilman Johrn A. Larson,
 chairman of the committee, at
 hearing last night.
 Attorney Gordon represented Jul jus Yacktoitch, who has brought a
 suit for s5,0oo against the city for injuries alleged to have been receiv- ed when he was thrown off an auto
 mobile truck owned by Gordon
 Bros. on Greenwood street, the acci-
 dent having been caused by the oily condition of the road, according to
 the allegation. The notice filed with
 the city clerk having been referred
 to the claims committee before the
 suit was started, the committee of , fered to hear the claim last night
 but Attorney Gordon refused to pre-
 sent his evidence unless the com
 mittee conceded at once the city's | liability.
 1 Members of the committee said
 they could not proceed in this man.
 ner and Assistant Corporation Coun-
 sel M. H. Camp pointed out that un- 1 til the committee has some informa- | tion relative to the case, 1t would
 be the height of folly to admit lia- ! bility.
 | Councilman Larson told Attorney [ Gordon after the latter made the
 statement to which the committee i took exception, that the commmittee | has always been fair with claimants
 and very frequently has leaned to-
 wards them in settling cases. At ! torney Gordon said he hoped this is 1 true, but he has been informed that i the committee merely obtains the
 evidence and tries to avoid fair set l dement's whenever 1t can do so.

 The writ, which was drawn by At torney s, Gerard Casale and served by Constable Frank Clynes, alleged the difference between a house pro- ducing the revenue represented, and one producing what it is claimed those purchased does, is at least SS,- 800 in real estate valuation.

OPPOSITION TO DEWEY BY NEW BRITAIN i. 0.P.
denomination of Sheriff to Be Fought at County
 Convention

Local republican circles today predicted drive by the New Brit ain delegation to the county con- vention to oust Sheriff Edward Dewey. a campaign believed to be based on reported refusal by the sheriff to add the name of William J. Rawlings to the list of Hartford county deputy sheriffs,
 New Britain republicans did not greet enthusiastically the an nouncements made by Dewey when he succeeded George Gabb as sher- if, excluding the name of Raw lings, who had strong backing here for an appointment. The eX- police chief had previously been sheriff and because of his lengthy service in the police department and his influential backing he was expected 10 be one of those top ping the list.
 Ex-Chief Rawlings is one of those who will attend the convention to nominate for sheriff. He was out of the city today, as were also two other members of the delegation, while other leading republicans were not inclined to discuss the report that "scalping" of Dewey is in prospect.
 A formal primary will be held to- day to elect the following republican delegations;
 State convention, Edward F. Hall, Ernest W. Christ, James J. Sposato, Ruth B. Walthers, Fred o. Rackliffe and Selma Johnson.
 Congressional convention; Will liam F. Lange, Mrs. John Buckley, Mrs. Clara Stipek, Morris D. SaXe, Joseph A. kloskowski and Henry R. Roche.

 WONDERFUL GREETING
Cheered by Thousands Upon Her Triumphant
 Return to New York

New York, Aug. 27. Rt-Trudy of the channel came home today. The name of Gertrude Ederle. young daughter of an Amsterdam avenue butcher, was hailed by the sirens of harbor craft as the big city ug Ma com took her from the Berengaria at quarantine and led a triumphal procession up the bay.
 It was cheered by thousands of her fellow townsmen massed about the battery to see her land, It reverberated through the crowds that lined Broadway to City hall.
 The conquerer of the English channel was back from accomplish ing 2. feat never before achieved by woman. and from doing it better than any man had ever done it. and New York took her to its heart.
 A queen IF the realm of sport, the swimmer was truer queen to- day that If she had sat on throne or wore a jewelled crown and all New Workers were her subjects.
 After the clamorous journey up Broadway, with whistles screechlng and horns sounding and ticker tape spiralling from skyscraper windows above, Miss Ederle was received by Mayor Walker who presented her with a scroll praising her deed
 It was inscribed to Miss Gertrude Fderle conaueror of the English channel. 1t linked her name with that of Betsy Ross and all other American women who have added to the glory of our nation,' and 1t concluded:
 And so our hearts go out 10 you for the indomitable courage the skill fuI grace, the tremendous athletic nrowess which enabled you to be the first girl in the world to swim the English channel"
 Workers in offices of the finan- cial district who have heard the popular receptions given to count iaee visitors and returning Ameri- cans expressed the opinion that Miss Ederle was received more tu- nultuously than any who had gone before.
