A Cherokee Indian Game

Of about the same dimensions as
a football field. The goal posts,
made of growing saplings, look
familiar. The players, nine on
a side, are naked except for
loin cloth. Even their feet are
bare. Their stripped muscular
bodies are Of various tints, rang
ing from deep brown to a pale
tan. They appear vigorous and
Ihealthy. Their moving forms,
open to sun and air, make a
pleasing sight against the back
ground of green grass and red
,dening fall foliage. Every play
er carries in each hand a wire
netted, scoop-shaped racket with
a handle a trife over two feet
long.
The teams line up in a fashion
not unlike that of basketball or
football. They have their for
wards, their center men, and

2 to | on Roosevelt
Democratic Candidate Is Favorite in
Wall Street Betting

A New York friend of the
editor writes:
Il was talking to a member OF
a Stock Exchange firm on the
telephone this morning, and he
told me that odds of 2 to | on
Roosevelt were being offered
freely in Wall Street with very
little Hoover money in sight.
Nearly all my acquaintances,
Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis, think that as things stand
today the election is a cinch for
Roosevelt"
The records of the past show
that the betting odds have re-
flected with a high degree of ac-
curacy the political sentiment of
the country. The Wilson
Hughes campaign of 1916 gave a
striking illustration of the sensi-
tivencss Of the betting barOme-
ter. This was a close contest,
and a week before the balloting
wagers were placed at not far
from even, the advantage being
slightly with Hughes. AS elec-
ton day drew nearer this advan-
tage disappeared, and few
hours before the polls opened
there were some Wagers at 6 to
5 on Wilson.
OF course nobody knows what
may happen between now and
November 8, but experience in
dicates that if Roosevelt remains
an easy favorite in the betting
he will win.

Montreal:
Il see in the Weekly that you

suggestion is that you both

mark with q beer party without
any ifs connected with it.
Speak to your friend Rush and

This sounds good to me. No
doubt there are other friends
OF mine and Mr.. Jones'S who will
be fifty years old at about the
same time, and my recollection
of Mr. Jones's hoSpitable spirit
assures me that he will be glad
to expand his guest list. We
might make up an automobll"

Can't Stand OdiOus Smells, Sights
and Contacts of Scavenging job

Because the town of Chapel
Hill didn't have the money with
which to buy a new truck the
board of aldermen decided to
have the collection Of garbage
and trash done by contract. The
best bid came from w. j. Cheek,
and he started on his new job
early Monday morning.
About noon he turned up at
the office Of the town manager,
Mr.. Caldwell. He was pale,
beads Of perspiration stood out
on his face, and he looked as
if at any moment he might give
way to an attack Of nausea.

The sights and smells and con-
facts he had encountered in his
handling of garbage had been
too much for him. And so
George Davis and the two Ne
groes, the Atwater brothers, are
still going about the village as
the official municipal scavengers.
The aldermen will have to dis
cuss the matter again, and it
seems probable that they will
have to give up the contract
plan and find some way to raise
the money for new equipment.

Argument about Pool
And Bowling Becomes
A Battle of Petitions

Petitions for and against the
establishment in Chapel Hill Of
recreation center. with pool
tables and bowling alleys. are be-
ing circulated among the citi-
zens Of Chapel Hill. They are to
be presented to the President
whose approval, under law
passed by the last legislature, is
prerequisite to the opening of
such place.
Some citizens are signing the
one petition. some the other. 1t
remains to be seen which will
bear the most names.
1t appears that to part Of the
population the word podlroom is
one of evil associations. Prob
ably this is because in bygone
lays poolrooms were usually con-
nected with barroomS.
Other people in { hapet Hill
can't see why pool should be
looked upon as the symbol and
companion of Wickedness. Why.
they ask, shouldn't they be al
lowed to play the game if they
want to, provided that the place
where the tables are is properly
regulated? They point to COM
munities where pool-playing is
practiced without disaster to the
morals of young or old: Char
lotteSvillc. Virginia, for example.
where the game is played at sew
eral places on a business street

HUNTERS EXPECT
GOOD SUPPLY OF
GAME THIS FALL
They Look Forward Eagerly to
Opening of Quail and Tur-
key Season Nov. 20
LAW REQUIRES LICENSES

The hunters of Chapel Hill are
looking forward eagerly to the
beginning Of the open season for
quail and wild turkey. On the
sidewalks, in the drugstores and
barber shops, and at other places
where people assembly to discuss
the affairs Of the world, the dis
cussion Of politics and football
gives way frequently to specu-
lations about the game supply in
the region around Chapel HILL
Il believe this is going to be
a good year for turkey and
quail says Moody Durham, for
mer game warden and enthusi-
astic fowler, because there has
been more than the usual plant
ing Of small grain and peas and
because Of the dry summer. The
destruction Of eggs and young
birds by water was less than
normal. .
The statutory season for quail,
turkey, and rabbits is from No
vembcr 20 to February Is. The
squirrel season began September
! and ends December 81, These
four species constitute practical
ly the entire game supply around
Chapel Hill, but occasionally
Woodcock are found. The wood
cock season is confined to the
month Of December.
Under the law everybody who
hunts has to have a license. Ii
censes may be obtained at the w.
E. Lyon hardware store in Chap
eI Hill and the Lloyd-Ray hard
ware store in Carrboro. The
fees are: $1.25 for hunting in
side single county; 1926 for
statewide hunting; $3.50 for
statewide hunting and fishing.
No license is required for fishing
within ones home county. J. f.

SERVICE INCREASED
BY VISITING NURSES.
Society Cares for 1000 More
First Half of 1882 Than
in 1881 Period.

The Instructive Visiting Nurse So
ciety cared for 1000 more patients and
made $4,000 more visits during the first
half of this year than the correspond
ing period of 1881. according to reports
released yesterday.
Fewer patients have been able to pay
all or any part of the cost Of home
treatment and while the revenue de-
clined the society has been obliged to
meet a larger demand for its services.
The patients aided SO far this year
have been able to pay only about 35 or
40 per cent of the total cost Of the
nursing service, which is dispensed on
a pay, part-pay or free basis, according
to the patients means.
The IS nurses CT the fed staff are
making an average of 10 calls a day
each instead of g. Charity cases receive
the same treatment as full-pay cases
and needy patients are spared the
humiliation of having it known that
they are receiving free treatment.
Another demand on the society has
resulted from the overcrowded condition
of Gallinger Hospital, which handles the
largest percentage cf charity cases. The
hcspita. finds it necessary to discharge
convalescent patients early to make room
for new arrivals. The society is CO.
Cper- ting with doct-rs Of the hospital

tions for home care of patisnts dis
charged prior to complete recovery.

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Walter R.
Okeson, new chairman of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tons football rules committee, faces
two important gridiron problems in
1888, curbing the forward pass evil
and reducing gridiron casualties.
While OkeSon and his committee
wrestle with these, Major John l..
Griffith, new president of the N.
c. A. A, will investigate widespread
substituting of college athletes and
try to reconcile college sports to de-
preston budgets.
These are the outstanding New
Year tasks which emerged with the
two new officials from the aSsocia-
TONS annual two-day meeting at
the AStor hotel. Both leaders eX-
pressed confidence of progress on
these problems before the 1888 Chi
cago meeting, Dec. % and 80.
Okeson, one of footballs most
famous field officials and treasurer
of Lehigh university, was handed
his problems Immediately on cleo
ton to the post left vacant by E. K.
Halls death. The rules committee,
through Secretary William S. Lang
ford, embodied in it's annual report
a surprise attack on the forward
pass, and a warning that the game
must be made safer.
1t revealed that indiscriminate
use of the forward had upset the

DINKIE WHITNEY, bosom pal of Chuck Klein, has sup
planted Pie Traynor, Pirate notable, as the best fielding
third sacker in the National League and it's the opinion of
many baseball observers that if a major loop manager were
given the choice of the two, Whitney, the Quakertown star,
would get the call despite the batting percentage edge held by
the Pittsburgh veteran.
whitney has a wide bulge in ground covering ability, official fielding
statistics show. In 1882 he accepted a total of 472 chances to AZ for
Traynor. Putouts we're 1T for Whitney; 1877 for Traynor, and assists 26
and DO respectively. The Phily player was charged with 10 errors and
q we're chalked against Pie.
THE difference in double plays is marked. Pinkie participated in 81
to IA for Traynor, and twfn-kiling execution is important for it repre-
sents swift and accurate handling of the hoTsehide. Whitney was high
over all in fielding among regular hot corner guardians in the senior
major circuit.
Moreover. Pinkie was more durable than Pie, playing in ISL games
to 1877. Age. of course, is all in favor Of the Philie athlete. He is 26 and
Travnor is 80. Stickwork averages list Pie with 329 and he is superior
there, Whitney closing the last season with 28. Pinke collected the most
extra base swats, SO doubles, II triples and ID homers to Iraynors II
doubles, 10 triples and 2 homers.
Whitney scored SO runs to IA for Traynor and in runs batted IN the
PhIlv pasimer also was out in front of the veteran with 14 to SO.
Don Hurst and Chuck Klein, team mates, we're the only suggers in
the league to top Pinkie in runs batted in, a feature of baseball that sets
of a player as faint-hearted or courageous when runners are in scoring
position and the pitcher is bearing down."

balance between attack and defense.
It warned that unless coaches and
teams made readjustments in 1888,
the rules body would be forced to

arrange voluntary readjustments,
but, if unsuccessful, will map plans
to curb the uufeld aerial offense,
The report said that while changes
in the football rules had accom-
plished wonders in cutting down in
juries, the game still was con-
