" sity of Chicago include Pro-
a---- L. -

NTHER pioneers at the Unlver-
" sity of Chicago include Pro-
lessor F. r. Moulton and the late
Professor T. c. Chamberlin.
Moulton and Chamberlin formu-
lated the planetsimal hypothesis for
the origin of the earth and other
planets. The basic feature of this
theory was that the solar system
originated in material pulled out of
the sun by the grayitational at
traction of a star which passed near
the sun.
Although subsequent workers in
this field have been inclined to
modify certain details of the theory,
the basic idea remains the most
important one in the field.
Another pioneer at Chicago has
been Professor William D. Har-
kins, who has done valuable work
in the field of iSostopeS. He also
made an important contribution to
present-day thinking about the ma
ture and origin of the universe by
his study on the prevalence of the
various chemical elements.
DR.. r. A. Millikan now reveals
that speculations about atom build
ing also started at the University
of Chicago.
DR.. Millikan feels that his dem
onstration of the existence of the
cosmic rays are proof that such
atom building goes on in the uni
verse.
He believes that these rays are
hy-products of the building up of
atoms of matter, and disagrees COM
pletely with certain British scien-
fists who hold that the rays are the
result of a disintegrating process
only.
This British view is that the uni
verse is like a clock which was
wound up at some distant date and
which now is in the process of run
ming down.
DR.. Millikan sets forth his views
perhaps to insure foreign atten-
tion-in the "Physikalische Zeit-
Schrift." A translation just has
appeared in Science, official publ
cation of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science.

What of III

WHATS a little thing like
w murder, when we are driving
three out of every four automobiles
in the world, and killing 10000 peo-
pie every year to prove it?
What's a little thing like gang
rule, when we have so many sky
scrapers to build, so many combines
to finance, and so much unemploy-
ment to talk about?
What's a little thing like plain
thuggery, when the senate is n
gagged in a life-and-death struggle
to find out which European states
man Dawes called a bird" or how
many times he said hell n Maria
in connection with the naval treaty?
Suppose racketeers are running
away with the nations second big
gest town and threatening to do so
with half a dozen more? Who
should worry about it, with stocks
still down and Sears Roebuck cut
ting prices?

vt will not be necessary for the
l. Thanatopisis Inside Straight and
Pleasure Club TO stake a poker game
on Boston commons. In a recent
column there was discussion of the
Massachusetts, blue law under which
any one who wins more than SIS at
cards may be penalized three times
the amount Of his profit.
1t happens that New York has a
law of the same sort and even more
drastic. For here the winner can
be fined five times the total of his
haul, though it is true that our leg
isIators have raised the ante and
made $25 the point above which
gambling becomes a sin and a crime.
H. Henry Shemin, president OF
Counsel to Column Conductors"
calls my attention to Section 800 of
the penal laws, which states:
"A person who wins or losses at
play or by betting, at any time, the
sum or value Of $25 or upward,
within the space of tWenty-four
hours. is punishable by a fine not
less than five times the value or
sum SO lost or won, to be recovered
in a civil action, by the persons
charged with the support Of the
poor in the place where the offenSe
was committed for the benefit of
the poor" (McKinley's Consolidated
Laws, Page 1861
Not only does New York e the
Massachusetts, provision for a triple
penalty, but it includes the loser as
we'll as the winner in the scope OF
punishment.
In Boston it is not a crime to
gamble unsuccessfully, while New
York adds insult to injury by
slapping a fine even on the poor
fellow who has lost his all.

Suppose I had sued MI. K. and re-
covered some staggering sum which
I repaid with borrowed money.
After all, it would be necessary for
me to establish beyond dispute that
I had lost more than $25. And it
was more than $25. But with that
fact spread upon the record, there
would be nothing to prevent some
overseer Of the poor from imme-
diately suing me in turn for five
times the amount which I recov-
cred.
1t was just a passing mirage.
There is no balm for the big loser
and there never will be. All he can
do is curse, slam the cards down on
the table and swear that he never

INVOLVEMENT that Paul p.

foot ball championship games
this Fall is disappointing to many who
long have followed the title games,
Magofnn, former Michigan athlete,
handled the games so many years that
it is hard to disassociate him with the
series. He has always refereed In fine
style, too.
Magofin doubtless could have done
much better financially in past years by
handling other contests but he liked to
referee the series games. He got real
kick out of the clean, hard play he saw
and learned much of boy psychology.
Magoffin was unable to act in the series
this year because of engagements 70

one who has had any connection with
the series in past years regrets TO see
him 60. s@s
In Ed Towers, though, picked TO
succeed Magoff1n, officials have made
fine selection. Towers has served as an
official in the series for several years
and his work has been good.
Emerson and Dewitt are to see action

Gettysburg recently held to a close

LANDIS' HANDS FULL
IN LEAGUES FARLEY
Delegates Of Majors and Leading
Minors Meet to Talk Over
Universal Draft.
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, October 10.-Settle-
rnent OF the dispute over the universal
draft, q perennial source Of friction in
the machinery Of base ball, was sought
by major and minor league representa-
tives who came here for q conference
today.
Judge Kenesaw Mountain lands, the
car Of base ball, was due to preside
At the sessions and use his influence in
an effort to settle the differences be-
tween the American and National
Leagues on one hand and the three
class AA circuits-American Association,
Pacific and International Leagues-on
the other.
The majors have issued an ultimatum
10 the effect they will break all reia-
tons with the three big minors unless
class IA trio has insisted upon the
limited draft, under which they may
retain players sought by the majors.
InaSmuch as q complete break IN
relations would cut the majors from q
large source Of their recruits and like
wise would leave the minors without
markets for their stars, 1t was expected
strong efforts would be made to reach
q compromise.
A score Of moguls Of the warning
minors called a meeting TO formulate a
policy to be presented later at joint
session with the majors. Presidents
F. S. Barnard of the American and
John A, Heydler of the National Leagues
headed the majors representatives.
The magnates also prepared recep-
ton for Connie Mack, whose Phtladel-
phia Athletics have just won their Sec
orld world championship.

YHAT style or game George
M town will play against
Y Y West Virginia Wesleyan
at Griffith Stadium to-
night in Washington's first noe
turnal grid show was a matter Of
conjecture today. Action will
start at 8:15 o'clock. That one of
the largest crowds to see foot
ball game here in years will be on
hand is an aSSurity.
The Hoyas showed little Of their stuff
sons opener, being content to win by
IA to 6. Their only really effective
weapon was the forward pass.
They went to Chicago expecting a
stiff battle with Loyola University, and
the dope was that Georgetown would
let fly with all its aerial tricks, the
Blue and Gray having displayed only a
suggestion of power in its running game
against Mount st. Mary's.
Follow Different Lines.
But the opposite occurred. Several
reports of the contest at Chicago had
the Hoyas using only five forward passes
and resorting in the main to strong
running attack. This feature of the
game was encouraging to Georgetown
supporters, who had seen little of that
nature in the opener to enthuse over.
So the Hoyas, in two games, have
followed out two different scoring cam
paigns, and tonight's contest may be
a mixture of both. It will be the final
games in which Tom Mills may expert
ment, very likely. From here out the
sailing will be stormy for his new out
At, for none but strong teams remain
on the schedule.
And West Virginia Wesleyan Is not
regarded by Mills as setup. The Bob
cats appear to- be at their best against
GEORGETOWN. They were accounted
rather easy prey year ago, but the
Blue and Gray was made to fight for
victory, two late touchdowns making 1t
decisive.
Lighting Is Gratifying.
The lighting arrangements at Crit
nth Stadium have been declared about
perfect by Tom Mills, and they are the
boast Of clark Grifith With growing
list of games booked at night the base
ball magnate figures to fatten his In
come at time when his park hereto
fore has been all overhead.
II numerals given out prove correct,
conspicuous number in the Bobcats
line-up tonight will be "61." It should
be on the back Of Gyp Battles, left
halfback.
Battles IS wesleyan's outstanding
back. He proved an iron man last
week against New York University,
carrying the bah more than ninety
times out Of the hundred the Bobcats
rushed it. He ran 66 yards for Wes-
leyan's lone touchdown.

ROBINS PATCH TWO
WEAK SPOTS FOR 81
Acquisition Of 0'Doul and Thomp.
SON From Phillies Is Expected
to Be Announced Shortly.

NEW YORK, October 10.-Left field
and second base were the weak spots
on the Dodgers in the recent campaign,
but the two positions have been bolstered
through the acquisition of Lefty O,Doul
and Fresco Thompson.
Official announcement that the Brook
lyns have obtained O'Doul and Thomp-
son from the Phillies in exchange for
at least five players has not yet been
made at Ebbets Field, but it is expected
to be handed out In few days.
ODoul won the National League bat
ting championship in 1929 with an
average of 1893, and last season he
finished fourth, coming up behind Bill
Terry, Babe Herman and Chuck Klein.
Lefty's percentage in the season which
Just closed was 1888. With ODoul.
Frederick and Herman, the Dodgers will
have one Of the heaviest hitting out
fields in the National League. Also, in
O'DouI the Brooklyn team will have q
slugger who Is not apt to fop In critical
stages, as so many Brooklyn batters did
in important games last month.
Ray Moss and Cliss Dudley, right
hand pitchers; Infielder Jake Flowers
and Outfielders Ike Boone and Harvey
Hendrick, left-hand batters, are the
players who are expected to be shifted
to the Phillies, and the Dodgers can
afford to let them go.

The honor that has been be-
slowed on Cronin is thorough
ly merited. In only his second
season as a regular, the young
native Of San Francisco, not
yet "a years old, proved one of
the sensations of the year with
his brilliant defensive play and
potent batting.
And the most gratifying thing
about 1t, from the standpoint
of Washington fans, is that he

BERG AND PETR0LLE
TO BATTLE TONIGHT
Briton Has a Score to Settle for
Beating Given Him by Yank
Several Years Back.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 10.-Jack (Kid)
Berg, busy leather swinger from Eng
land. battles an old rival, Billy Petrolle
of Fargo, N. Oak, in the headline 10
round bout in Madison Square Garden
tonight.
Berg has several old scores to settle
with Petrolle. The Fargo puncher gave
the Briton the only real trouncing Of
his career, stopping him in five rounds
at Chicago several years ago. Later
they fought to draw.
Both these bouts, however, were
waged before Berg reached his present
eminence among the lightweights. He
stands now as an outstanding chal-
lenger for Al Singers 135-pound title.
His impressive performances In the last
year or so have made him an 8-to-5
favorite over Petrolle, expert opinion
holding that the Middle Westerner can
hope to win only by a knockout in an
early round.
Petrolle's stablemate, Spud Murphy,
meets Patsy Ruffalo of st. Vernon, N.
Y, in the opening 10.

WARM BATTLE DUE
AT KENDALL GREEN
Maryland and Catholic U.
Facing Rough Going in
Their Contests.
BY H. C.. BYRD.

~ NE foot ball game here to-
1 morrow, while 1t Is not
~ being heralded far and
wide as one of the fine
week end attractions and may not
draw great headlines in the Sun
day morning sheets, deserves all
the support that a more or less
careful public can give it. Out at
Kendall Green, at 2:30 pm, Gal
laudet lines up against American
University in a contest that means
much to both schools and which
should have the support of the
fans.
Gallaudet and American University
will play foot ball for foot balls sake,
give their best to the game because it
is a game, and in their play is likely
to be found the highest type of sports
manship. Gallaudet and American
University meet without the high
powered foot ball machinery that makes
the game what it IS at larger in
stitutionS.
Gallaudet and American University
pick their teams from very small stu
dent bodies. The former has about
10 men and the latter about 100 in
their student bodies, the others being
girls; and from these small groups foot
ball squads are made up.
Georgetown and Maryland have as
many men on their varsity and fresh
man foot ball squads as Gallaudet and
American University have in their
entire student bodies. This means, too,
DO anf cd 70 Axan afr1e
Of foot ball as might be wished, with
all that means in economizing in equip
ment and in other things that 60 with
a properly handled gridiron squad.
Yet with small student bodies, so small
it seems almost impossible to draw
from them such strong teams as repre-
sent these schools, Gallaudet last year
came within an ace of beating Uni
versity of Maryland, while American
University did Whip George Washington,
8 to 0. Both these schools had teams
that would have done credit to much
larger institutions. And now both are
row Is sure to be productive of some
excellent foot ball and some thrills. The
teams appear to be well matched.
Both teams are well coached by fine
chaps, Hughes at Gallaudet and Young
at American u, being the type that
gives something more to q squad than
mere foot ball knowledge.
TN the other local games this week end
i end, only Catholic University and
Maryland are likely to have rough
shedding. the former with Holy Cross at
Worcester and the latter with North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. Georgetown
plays tonight, but of that game more
viii be found in another column. George
Washington ought not to have great
difficulty getting away with the long end
Of the score against Delaware.
Delaware has not been able In re-
cent years to produce very much In the
way of gridiron results, but Is supposed
to be better this season George Wash
ington lost to Rutgers, but playing
Rutgers and playing Delaware are en-
tirely different things.
Catholic University will lose to Holy
Cross by some more or less one-sided
score. The Brooklanders simply have
not the team to stand UP In front of
the kind of machines that represent
the Worcester institution.
Maryland goes to North Carolina to
meet an eleven to which 1t lost last sea-
