BAY STATE PLANS BOSTON BAN FIGHT
Effort to Be Made to Relax
 Strict Stage Rules

Boston, e. 24 U'P)-Thero is a .un in the storm of censorship in Boston which. many predict, is to he followed by an effort in the state legislature and perhaps in the city government. to have relaxed the rules and regulations under which girls must wear stockings. on the stage and few if any cuss words can creep into the books which are read in the land Of the bean and the cod
 Bookstores today have for sale such volumes as Ernest Hcming- ways 'FareWnll 10 Arms" and pub fishers report that the value of a ban by the Boston censor to the sale of Q book is fast diminishing. Hope 10 Help Rules
 There Is talk that recent outbreaks Of censorship such as that which affected Eugene O'Ncilrs Strange Tnterludc" and kept it from the Bos- ton stage, have been designed as much to direct attention to the cen sorship law SIS to protect the mor- ais of the descendants of the Pill grim Fathers. If is Understood that in 9&o the legislature is to be asked 10 revise the book censorship law and there may be pressure brought 70 bear upon the city government to revise its censorship of plays.
 At present, John NJ. Casey stands more or less supreme as the stage censor of Boston. Casey in early youth realized a childhood ambition to be a. p-drUmmer and for 20 years he followed that profession. But two years after railroad wreck incapacitated him from drum ming he was made chief of the licensing division of the mayors office. and since then-that was 25 years agO-hc has passed upon every stage production, vaudeville skit or movie which Boston has seen.
 The rules forbid:
 "DialOgucs. gestures, songs (eSpe- cially paroiies), language or con- vcrsation of any kind, which are di- rectly or by double meaning, ob- scene or lascivious and intended to suggest sexual relation.
 "Females from appearing upon the stage in legs bare. Exception to this only permitted upon authority of the mayor or licensing officer.
 "Wearing of onc-pioce union suits by females, whereby simply used to wantonly display the figure, as in living pictures.
 "All forms of muscle dancing, by performers of either sex. This in cll,dos every dance which contains suggestive or rcpulsiye contortions of the human body.
 Profanity Prohibited
 "The use of profanity. "The portrayal of a moral pervert or sex degenerate.'
 The law under which Carey oper- ates was passed in 1915, but it was merely the successor to an earlier law which, itself, succeeded still an other, for censorship first appeared in MassaC husetts in Til.
 Under the stage censorship law Olga Nothcrsole was prevented play ing "Sappho;" Mary Garden was barred from presenting "Salome;' and the character of the grating mayor in Get Rich Quick Walling- ford" by order of former Mayor John J. Fitzgerald himself was turned into that Of a prominent bus inessman.
 The censorship of books has led 10 the closing of bookdealors stocks to such books as Sinclair Lewis Elmer Gantry,' Nina Delmars Bad Girl" Upton SincIair's "Oil," and perhaps 100 other books read all most every place in the country oX- American literature.

HAWK PREPS TRIM
MERCURY A. c., 60

Mohawk Props, which last season won
the unlimited section title in the Capt.
tai City Foot Ball League, have made
strong start toward the flag in the
senior section, which this Fall has re-
placed the unlimited loop.
Yesterday the Hawks triumphed
over their keenest foe, Mercury A. c..
Go. Mercury was runner-up to the
Hawks in the unlimited section race
last year. The Hawks won in spectacle
lar style yesterday After holding their
opponents for downs on their own To-
yard line. the Props gained the verdict
in the final period. when Zirkle, stand
ing behind his goal, heaved to Cornell,
who. fanked with fine interference,
raced so yards to the touchdown.
1t was unusual that in all of the other
seven league games played yesterday
the losers were BANKED, though several
contests were keenly fought.
Brookland was a 60 victor over
Friendship in the other senior league
encounter, winning the game in the
opening stages. when Leroy shot off to
tackle to score a touchdown that Gull
minated a march from the first kickoff.
Three of the four games in the 1885,
pound class were decided by substan-
tial margins. Palace A. C. routed
Brentwood Hawks, 10 to o; Janney
A. C. downed Notre Dame Props, 10 to
0. and Meridian A. c. was an 18-to-0
victor over Wolverines. Columbia and
Mardfeldts fought to 90 tie.
Meridians defeated Mount Rainier
Props, 6 to 0. and Aztecs conquered
G. P. o. Federals, IS to 0, in 1875
pound class games.

BAGSHAW APT TO RESIGN
AS WASHINGTON U. COACH

SEATTLE, Wash, october 81 P.-
According to the Post-Intelligencer
Enoch Bagshaw may resign during the
present week as head foot ball coach at
the University of Washington.
According to the paper the latter de-
velopment in the foot ball situation at
the Washington school came to crisis
following the tie game with Montana
and successive defeats by the Southern
California and Washington State Col
lege.
1t is known that some Of Bagshaw's
friends have advised the coach to resign
and that they would then have him
offer his services for the remainder Of
the season because OF the difficulty Of
obtaining a new coach at this time.
After the game with Washington
State College at Pullman Saturday,
which State College won. 20 to ID, a
long conference was held between the
coachs advisers and representatives Of
the student body, which previously re-
quested Bagshaw's resignation.
None of those present would discuss
the meeting other than to admit that
the question of Bagshaw's resignation
had been talked over.

Thelma Clark was the Columbians
outstanding performer, her 3l4 set and
ia game being the best of the match.

good second with a neat 311 set, with
high game at 1l3. The Daughters were
way off, Alice Burke leading with the
rather ordinary counts Of l02 and 262
Doris Goodall and Helena Meyers

the Nationals take the odd game from
Commercials, Doris shooting a nifty
326 with counts of ITO. ITO and 106,
while her teammate registered 200 set
with 1l3 as her best single. Margaret
Miltner and Marjorie Bradt each got
2s4 to top the losers.
Catherine Quigley was the only one
in the Beeques lineup who seemed to
have any control. Catherine helped
her average with a three-game total of
314-having two nice single counts of
ITO and III. For Billies. Anna Burk-
halter and Louise Foberti registered two
timely games of 102 and 100, respec-
lively, to give the team its lone win
Sarah Updike was Hilltoppers main

and in 1904 he was called to New York
to become alternate starter for the
Jockey Club.
Although his work was at times sub

was any scandal attached to his name.
The Kisses and boos which sometimes
greeted him after a bad start never
dimmed the smile with which he faced
the bowling grandstand.

He introduced the walk-up start, the
success of which was considered the
basis for his reputation. Later he turned
to the standing start. A year ago he at

it failed of its former success and he
abandoned it,
This season he devised an adoption of

He is survived by three sons, Wen
