Panthers
Come 10 Grip
On Gridiron

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 24.-This
happens to be William PENIS
birthday but no one needs to be
giving Old Bill a thought here to-
Cay. And why should they? Notre
Danes Irish and the Pitt
Panthers go to grips today before
over 10000 and no one is thinking
of anything else in this town but
football.
If 100000 seats were available
they'd be filled but even as it is
the folks will be sitting on each
others shoulders.
They're billing the Panthers as
a Slight favorite and it should be
slight. Some like to figure it as
an even money proposition.
It rained until we'll past mid
night which brought up a few
slants for speculation. In the
event that the dripping continued
through the day it would be
either teams ball game. A soggy,
dead ball is hard to handle.
However, both elevens were &C
corded one break. The stadium
greensward was covered so it was
bound to be dry when the rubber
overcoat was yanked off shortly
before game time.

The second week Of competition
in the Community Center Softball
League gets underway Tuesday

gymnasium with a double-header.
The Veterans Administration and
Diamond Cab collide in the initial
game, while Bureau of Standards
crosses bats with the fast-traveling
Y. M. C. A. team in the second.
The Veterans will be seeking
sweet revenge for their licking
they received at the hands OF
Triple "A" last week. Diamond
Cab will be fighting to keep their
perfect record intact. This will
be the first appearance for the
principals in the second en-
counter, and little is known Of
their strength. First game starts
at 7:15 and the second at 9
o'clock.

Break Defeats
Cardozo High

Although outplaying their op-
ponents, the fast charging Car
dozo High Clerks lost a close
game to the Baltimore Vocational
School, 60. in the Walker Sta
dunn yesterday.
The visitors break came early
in the first quarter when one of
the Cardozo forward passes was
intercepted by Captain Gray, end,
of the Vocational team, who
sprinted 40 yards down the side
line to score a touchdown. A
place kick for the extra point was
blocked.
From this point on the two
teams fought a see-saw battle
with each trying to get another
break. Madden and Medley were
carrying the brunt of the Cardozo
attack while Russell and Handy,
with long runs, we're trying vainly
to place the visitors in another
scoring position. Vocational made
three first downs and Cardozo one.

Al Casey, a hell-bent for election
halfback who was the toast Of
Virginia football fans several years
ago when he starred in the
v. P. 1. backfield, will be the man
to watch tomorrow when the
Portsmouth Cubs invade Griffith
Stadium for a Dixie League game
with the Washington Pros.
Casey does everything but the
announcing at the ball game. He
runs, passes and kicks with the
best of them. 1t was his spirited
work in the closing minutes OF
last Sundays game with Rich
mond that produced one touch
down and almost succeeded IN
tying up the game. Portsmouth,
incidentally, is the first team to
score touchdown against the
Arrows this season.
One of the Irishman's old team
mates, Murry Neider, 21O-pound
fullback, will help out with the
Jim Bolts, tackle. Cattell has a
bad shoulder, Shaw and Zones
twisted knees; Cohen a swollen
knee, and Fox and Bolts. hip
bruises.

Game F or
TheGods!
By KIRK MILLER

Times Sports Editor
When the games last quarter
is finished,
And the toys are t1UiSted and
dried,
And the youngest aIumnus is
hVing
And the oldest grad has died
We shall dream of the games
Ve'Ue 2OitneSsed,
The struggles With time and
odds
And this aUiU crop up as an
epoch:
A football game for the gods.
There isn't a college game
in Washington today, and
after last nights George
Washington Wake Forest
masterpiece, it would be pro-
flaming the game if there were.
If the 10000 who saw that
gridiron meteor never see an
other football contest in their
lives, the game will owe them
nothing.
A Study in Physics
Three of the steel columns IN
Griffith Stadium were seen to oeno
over and then recoil when Joe
Kaufman started doing legerde-
main with that moth egg.
Twenty-thousand wrist watches
stood still and as many hearts hit
an air pocket on that last furious
heave over the line that estab-
lished an altitude record for every
George Washington adherent IN
the throng.
I've heard about fellow by the
name Of Frank MerriWeu ever
since they started putting banner
lines in sports pages, but it's the
first time I ever saw him in foot
ball rig.
Faith Sublime
And I've seen men in the ruck
of despond, but I never saw them
face it with a firmer faith in them
selves than did Joey Kaufman
after fate gave him an assist on
an enemy touchdown and then
%bo cfron 9th f0 undo it,
I'll never again lay any store
bv the third time for drowning
man or that hokum about walking
under a ladder. If it had been
Friday the thirteenth instead OF
Friday the twenty-third, the hob
gobblins couldn't have been more
on the proWl. Yes, and there are
Easter Dummies and a Santa Claus,
too.
The game last night should fur
nish the foundation for a tradl-
tional rivalry between George
washington and Wake Forest that
in time would equal the ancient
geographical natural between
Virginia game.
The TweIOe-Man Team
So far, Dartmouth hasn't been
able to get that twelfth man out
on the field this year-but then,
the season is only about half over!
The Kelly-Schmidt football dis
cussion cropping out OF the Yale
Navy game has occupied as much
football focus this week as todayS
games combined
If Navy ID Yale could have
gotten that tumble last week. the
Baltimore Stadium would have
been filled instead of two-thirds so.
Kipling Was Wrong
Kipling said east was east and
west was west and never the twain

he'd know they meet in Pitts
burgh. In the National League

Liquor Report Is
Delivered in Box
Marked "Calvert'
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
"a 4 O. RASK ERVIVT


Raleigh, Dec. 30--Several hundred
printed copies of the report of the
state liquor control commission were
delivered to the office of Governor
J. C. B. Ehringhaus in carton bear
ing the label Calvert" on the top.
Since "Calvert's" is the name of a
brand of liquor popular in this vicin-
ity, news men and others hurried to
make a careful examination of the
carton in the Governors office to see
if it contained anything else besides
the report of the liquor control COM
mission. Some of the boys thought it
might contain some samples" car
ried over by the commission or pos
sibly submitted to the Governor with
the report.
Careful examination of the Gal
vert" label on the carton, however,
showed that this particular label re-
ferred to a brand of paper instead of
to brand of liquor, and that the re-
port of the, liquor commission had not
been brought to the Governors office
in an empty liquor carton, as first
appearances Indicated.

fund budget Of $4,000, 900. without any
provision for social security and then
has to add another $3OOO0OO a year
for old age pensions, it will have to
provide $8,OOO,OOO year more revenue
than the state is now collecting, it is
agreed. This means that it will have
to levy some $8,000,OOO a year in new
taxes or increase those now in effect
so that they will yield enough to bring
in 100000 year more than at pre-
sent.
But if the General Assembly carries
out the pledge of ,Governor-e1ect Clyde
r. Hoey and the Democratic platform
to put the exemptions back in the
sales tax and remove the sales tax
from meals in hotels, restaurants and
cafes, it will reduce the present state
revenue by at least $3,00O,000, so that
it will then have to raise a minimum
of $11, 100000 in new revenue, the tax
experts here point out. The job of
trying to raise this $11, 900 in new
revenue is what is expected to keep
the legislature here for several
months.

a year in new revenue for this pur-
pose. This, in turn, will swell the a
mount of new revenue the 1887 Cen
eral Assembly will have to raise to
$8,0OO,00O a year and necessitate a
budget of 100000 a year for agen-
cies supported from the general fund,
it is pointed out.
This proposed general fund budget
of $41, 900 a year is still far short
Of providing the amounts asked by
the various departments and institu-
tons, however. During the hearings
before the Advisory Budget Commits
sion back during the fall, the state
departments and institutions, inc1ud-
ing the schools, which are supported
from the general fund, asked for
total of $41,00O,O0O a year in appro-
priations, without taking into consid-
Grafton what might be needed for So
cial security purposes But the budget
commission has sliced between $780,
900 and 100000 from these requests
so that indications now are that an
appropriation of $41,0OO,OO0 will pro
vide enough for social security pur-
poses as well as all other objects, I'M
less the legislature decides to increase
appropriations beyond the amount re-
commended by the budget commission

MURDERER SURVIVES
HANGING IN SHANGHAI
Huge British Indian Proves to Be Too
Heavy For Hangman's
Moose.

Shanghai, Dec 3O.-(AP) Alma
Singh, huge British Indian who sur
vived a hanging yesterday when the
rope parted, may recover from his
injuries to find himself venerated as
a holy man by his thousands of COM
patriots here.
What is of more substantial bene-
fit, he may find his life spared by
British justice, which condemned him
for the murder of a fellow policeman
Alma Singh, was one of the several
hundred Sikhs from British Indiat
husky, picturesquely-beard and tur-
baned fellows who serve in the Bri-
tish-dominated police force of the
Shanghai international settlement
When another Sikh constable insult
ed his wife, Alma Singh went after
him with a meat cleaver and literally
hacked him to pieces.
All British subjects in China, in
Guiding Indians, are tried in British
courts because they enjoy extra-ter-
ritorial rights. Such court condem-
ned Alma Singh to be hanged. A spe-
cial hangman was brought from
Hongkong for the execution.
AS the burly Sikh plunged through
the gallows' trap-door, the rope part
ed. He fell heavily to the ground.
Physicians said he suffered brain con-
cussion. Last night he was still I'M
conscious in the police hospital, his
condition grave, but his chances for
recovery reported fair.
Failure of the attempted execution
confronted British consular and Judi
clal officials with a problem without
precendent here. 1t was referred to
the British ambassador at Peiping,
and unofficial reports last night said
embassy authorities were inclined to
favor committing Alma Singh's SEN
tence to life Imprisonment if he re-
covers from his head injuries.
Shanghai's Indian community total
ing several thousands regards Atma
Singh's survival as an act of heaven.
Especially his Sikh co-rehgionists re-
gard him as man favored by the
deities and therefore a minor divinity
himself.

Neither Hitler nor cabinet members

Mussolini1s advice, said reputable
sources, was to withdraw from Spain
as gracefully as possible.
II Duce was represented as having
decided to wash his hands off General
Francisco Franco and the Spanish in
surgents and to have suggested Hitler
follow suit
Mussolini's future policy toward
Spanish Fascism was expected in in
formed circles to have great weight
in any decision Hitler and his lieute-
nants reach ON F'ranco-British de-
mah,ds for strict non-intervention in

The other two members of the COM

Commissioner of Labor A. l.. Fletcher
have also received hundreds of APP
plications for jobs by mail, telephone,

these are being referred to Chairman

more than 30 employees will be given

the commission is expected to need
as many as 200 employees.
The more important jobs which the

of director, a chief accountant, as

two or three more jobs Of this sort.

EURE TOTAKE TIME
. MAKING CHANGES
Secretary of State Will Not
Dismiss Any Subordinates
Until Assembly Ends

Raleigh, Dec 3O,-Secretary of State
Thad Eure has Informed his office
force that he will not disturb their
status until the 1887 general assembly
shall have adjourned then such chan
ges, if any, as the exigences demand,
ne will make with the additional as
surance that he will try to get them
placed" before he makes his APP
pointments.
Mr.. Eure doesn't fear the legisla-
ture; he seems to be the most popular
man in the state with that body. But
his purpose in retaining the staff that
he finds in the office is to give the
general assembly the benefit of what
it knows. The legislative sessions
make a heavy draft on the time of
his clerks. He will leave informed
ones ready for the call.
Mr.. Eure expects to make changes,
he says, but he is going to assist per-
sons who must be replaced to find
other employment The new secretary
of state has seen firing" done in all
ways. He saw his predecessor, whom

saw Kerr Scott bouncing the boys and
girls 80 days before he takes office
Both methods were followed by I'M
happy repercussions. Newspapers all
over the state recently asked Mr.
Scott to explain himself The commits
sioner won't do that but there has
been a "lull in the firing" as the War
correspondents say. Certainly, the
very personable and efficient commits
sioner of agriculture found it hard to
appease a public which sentimentally
had come to dislike dismissals from
office for Christmas presents espe-
cially, since the commissioner had not
himself actually taken office
Mr.. Eures method is reputed to be
the procedure that Auditor George
Ross Pou will adopt though Mr. Pou
has made no statement to the public
about his requirements.
