Milford, Friday, October ), 1884

ONE MONTH FROM next Tuesday
the voters of the nation will elect
an entire new House of Representa-
tiYes and one-half the membership
of the Senate. The Democrats are
willing, and desire. to make the sole
issue of the campaign that of the
personal popularity of the President
and his conduct of the several rather
radical innovations and expert
ments undertaken by his admins
tration. The voters are asked to
follow his leadership without ques-
tiOn-tO believe in him implicitly, and
to accept on faith everything that
he proposes. There is certainly no
disposition on the part of respon-
sible Republican leadership to ques-
tion the individual popularity of Mr..
Roosevelt; but the past two years
of his administration have been ones
of many changes. We have been
passing through a period of rather
revolutionary transition and expert |
mentatiOn such as has never con-
fronted the nation in the past.
Without question some of this has
been good, and should be retained; |
but there is no doubt but that many
of the theories advanced are with
out value and should be discarded.
The increasing cry of criticism is
proof positive of this.
With this situation confronting
the voters and the $ovember cleo
tions, those directing tho Republi-
can campaign insist that these eX-
periments must be watched; that
they are not to be followed blindly;
that each should be given very care
full scrutiny and that under no cir
cumstance should these Temporary
measures be enacted into permanent
legislation until every phase has
been carefully discussed on the
floors of Congress. This can be ac-
only by the election of
a strong Republican minority.

present House majority at Wash

but with the final lines reversed. In
nineteen minutes KirilenkO slammed
Raines on the canvas a half dozen
times and Topped on him for the
fall.
Those of the mob who fingered in
the corridors for a last puff at a
cigaret missed the final action. Two
minutes after the wrestlers entered
the ring Raines dropped Kirilenko
with a back slam. 1t was about
then that Matros caught on. He
dragged right hook from his shoe
laces and plastered it on Raines
jaw. But the bout was over; ring
officials interceded and the fans
went home.
Lou Plummer scarcely worked up
a sweat in the semi final bout be-

Matros Kirilenko, migrant son
of Russia, waded into Texas
Rain (e) storm in the Armory last
night, but found it such deluge
that when the skies cleared he
wasn't certain he'd not been dunked
in the Volga or laved with the
whole of the Caspian sea.
The Russian leopard man seemed
as unable to comprehend the
charming American mat ring side
lines of alley battle tactics as Chief
Crewchi, for example, might be of
understanding the Five-year plan.
And as a result KirilenKo surren-
dered the first and third falls in
the Hercules A. G. mat main go to
Dick Raines, the Texas cowboy
wrestler.
In the first chapter of their bout
the husky from the land the steppes
and samovars found little difficulty
in applying an assortment of ham,
merlocks, headlocks and wrist locks
on the Texan, but Raines had all
the answers, albeit he fllched them
from forbidden pages of the Wres-
tiers Guide.
Raines occasionally inserted his
fingers in Kirilenko's mouth and
tugged at the corners; now and then
he forgot to open fist before it
barged into the Russians midriff or
jaw; once in a while he wound his
fingers in Matros' hair; and in his

won victory over Gene Venzke in
the 800-meter race Of the annual
Knights of Columbus carnival at
Brooklyn, and first in the 1000-yard
event of the Millrose games at
Madison Square Garden, New York.
At the latter meet he ran a spec
tacular last leg to give Indiana first
in the mile relay.
Last week Fuqua set new Big
Ten conference indoor record in the
440-yard dash when he made the
distance in 49.3 seconds against
Miller of Illinois. The time tied the
American record for the event.
A football injury has handicapped
him recently, but he is believed fully
recovered now and is expected to be
in top form for the indoor title
meet.
Indiana also has capable dash
men and middle distance runners in
Don Harpold, Yves Bicking and Ted
Thompson, all of whom participated
in this years Millrose games. Bick-
ing was member of last years In
diana mile relay team, which won
first at the MillroSe event.
In addition to Hornboestel, the
Crimson has a sophomore half
miller, Duke Hobbs, who is reported
to be progressing more rapidly than
did Hornbostel. Tap GOdbold is
veteran distance runner.
Hornboestel and Hobbs will be
used in the mile. In the cross coun-
try run, the Crimson has Allan

who made fair showings in their
first runs last fall

enjoy seeing him storm the premises when he
thought a close decision went against his club.
He thorn to the umpres. And old Casey

but don't get me wrong. The Dodgers going

Indiana university, which this week
must defend the Big Ten confer
ence indoor track championship it
has held for the last two years, will
depend on runners to retain the
title. The championship meet will
be held at Chicago Saturday.
The Crimson's best chance for
winning field event points probably
is the pole vault. Steve Divich, a
veteran, has reported in that de-
partment. He has recovered from
injuries suffered last spring.
Coach E. G. Hayes has two great
runners on his squad-Charles
Hornboestel, holder of the unofficial
worlds half mile record, and Ivan
Fuqua, one Of AMERICAS fastest 440-

of five foreign countries. Both were
members of the 1882 United States
Olympic team.

Holdout business was nothing new
to Gomez, that beanpole of
farmer boy from Rodeo. Cal. His
procrastination came as a surprise
this season because he had been
offered a salary cut.
Other players might have been
expected to protest a slash in pay,
but not the 'goofy Castillian." He
has been doing the unexpected ever
since his perturbing arrival in 1880.
Unique Distinction
Based on past performances.
Lefty should not have objected to
the cut Only last season he
achieved the unique distinction Of
being the only player in 1888 to
hold out when offered raise.
When Gomez staggered through
the hotel lobby last night after
aLyographing his one-year docu-
mert, his angular face was wreathed
in smiles.

graduated him on the raise.
What raise?" asked Gomez. I
didn't get any ise I'm getting the
same salary as last year" The
writer's said "Oh-h!" His salary is
understood to be $4,000.
He's Married Now
Lefty was offered a cut because
he did not pitch as we'll in 1888 as
in 1882. On the other hand, Lefty
explained to Mccarthy, the reduc-
ton was unseemly because he had
acquired a bride in 1888.
Manager Mccarthy has not been
successful in coming to terms with
catcher Bill DicSey. Bill is expected
to remain a holdOut at least for an
other week unless the club tits it's

In addition to Dickey. four other
Yanks are unsigned: Danny Mac
Hayden, Frank Crosetti, Lyn Larry
and Ben Chapman MacFayden is
