Hope. Twenty-eight names were
enrolled. A president, secretary
and treasurer were elected. The
place of meeting will be in the
Young Mems Christian Association
reading room every Monday even
ing at $50 o'clock. All boys and
girls over the age of thirteen are
cordially invited to join.
Joseph Evans received a very Sc
we're fall and injuries on Commerce
street one evening last week but
fortunately breaking no bones. The
accident took place at the abrupt
termination of George w. Thigh
mans pavement where it meets
that of the property of w. w.
Tschudy which has not been
brought up to the grade. We have
heard of several persons being hurt
at this place, and the town may
yet have a bill of damages to pay
for some more unfortunate person.
There are two or three other dang
erous places on this street that
ought to be remedied.
The new and comfortable dwell
ing house of H. G.. Budd's on
South street has been finished sew
eral weeks and is nearly dry
enough for them to occupy. The
lower floor consists of parlor, sit
ting room, dining room and kitch-
en-. The second story has three
bed chambers and bath room and
the third, two nicely finished
rooms. The other side is a counter
part of this in forming the double
dwelling. A porth that spans both
dwellings adds to the appearance
adm comfort of the building. (This
building is now two separate dwell
ings, the Budd dwelling being own
ed and occupied by Norman w.
Coleman and the other side, own
ed and occupied by Mrs. Bertha
Bailey Clifton).
The opinion of the United States
Supreme Court was delivered by
Justice Harlan, Monday, in the two
prohibition cases of Peter
Mungler against the State of Kans-
as. The effect of this opinion is to
declare valid the prohibition laws
of the State of Kansas. One of the
grounds of contention the Justice
said, was that as the breWries had
been erected prior to the passage
Of the prohibition law, and as they
were OF little use except for brew
ries, their property was taken
without due process of law in vio-
lation of the Constitution. But all |
property under our form Of gov
ernment, he held is subject to the
obligation that it shall not be used |
50 as to unjuriously affect the /
rights of the community and there 1
fore become a nuisance. The State
Of Kansas has a right to prohibit
the liquor traffic It did not there
by take away the property of the
brewers. It silnly abated a nuis-
ance. The property is not taken
away from it's owners, they are
only prohibited from using it for a
specific purpose which the Legisla-
-ure declared to be injurious to the

ODDS ON AMBERS
 TO KEEP GROWN ARE INCREASING
Doyle Gives Choice at 4 to 5;Ross, Escobar, Apos-
 toll Favored
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan COrreSpondent)
 New York, Sept. 22.-(UP)--Odds on Lou Afnbers to retain his light- weight crown against Pedro Mon- tanez in Mike Jacobs carnival of champions at the Polo Grounds to- morrow night were boosted virtually to even money today by Jack Doyle, Broadway betting commissioner
 Ambers had been the underdog at 6-8 and 6-7 but Doyle established today's price at 4-5 and take your choice. Montanez beat Ambers their last time out, e i0-round no-decision affair, but the Herkimer buzz-saw finished the last few rounds SO strongly that Doyle gives him at least an even chance to retain his title over the l5-round route. The Puerto Rican challenger is a heavy puncher, but Ainbers Is long on en- durance.
 Barney Ross, welterweiRht cham pion from Chicago. was made a 2-6 favorite to conquer the PhillipIne challenger Ceferino Garcia. The same odds were quoted on the San Francisco middleweight. Fred ApoS- toll, who seeks to lift the middle weight crown of the bald-pated Frenchman, Marcel Thil. Little Sixto Escobar was established a l-2 favorite to turn back the challenge of Harry Jeffra, Baltimore bantam weight who holds two decisions over the Puerto Rican champion.
 The New York athletic commis- sion decided yesterday that iff~case of rain, the four 15-round bouts would be postponed 24 hours until Friday night, but that the boxers would not have to weigh in again unless there is another delay. Man agers of fighters who find 1t easy to make their weights had agitated for a second weigh-in if the pro- gram should be put off 24 hours.
 Promoter Jacobs said that $200,000 already was in the till, and that he expected a gate of at least $400,000

picnic" but even that doesn't supply an adequate picture of slimness.
 I can't even furnish logical req sons for some of my selections. Es- cobar over Jeffre, for example. Jeffre already has twice beaten the little brown man In non-title matches and is said to be all set to take @ third, and winning leg, on the Escobar trophy. But non-title matches are different from title matches, If you'll pardon @ lapse Into the striking style of the late Calvin Coolidge. Sixto is just ail- other fellow in purple tights when nothing is at stake. But put the chips on the table and he becomes @ head-hunter of most pleasing ferocity. Too, he's @ natural ban tamweight, with noweight worries Jeffra isn't.
 Ambers Is another by my choices who has been whipped by the man he'll face tomorrow night. Mon- tanez took @ decision from him in the Garden not 50 long ago, but 1t was at 10 rounds and not over the full championship route. And Am- bers Is Q router. Lou was coming like freight train in the closing rounds that night, and given five more heats probably would have won. Ambers is hitting harder these days. He has quit his mauling, now settles down on his feet when he hits.
 I look on Ross as the nearest thing to Q sure bet on my list. Bar ney has just grown into complete manhood; he's bigger and stronger than ever. No one ever questions his gaineness-no even Garcia, who had him on the floor on the coast but couldn't keep him from getting up and coming on to win. Ross Is smart. Fighters who bother him the first time, seldom givehirn much trouble in return matches. Remenl- Der his fights with McLarnin. Can zoneri and Petrolle2 Garcia'S only hope is one laundering kayo punch, and I don't believe he'll land 1t.
 Apostoli over Thil is almost a pure guess as I have never seen either man in action. But Apostoli Is 10 years younger than Marcel, and fired with the ambition of youth. He has had little. Marcel, nearing the middle thirties is rich. and has had his All of glory. Too the Frenchman hasn't had but two fights in three years, and no fight CT ever sharpened himself on idle ness.
 I won't be there to see my Selec- tons in action. I'm of to Houston, Texas, tonight, an deven that city may not be far enough removed when all the returns are in.

play run over 10 times when 1t is wrong. He wants to get 1t correct right now. At times he will let his team run a certain play for two months befort 1t is used in a game. He contends that it takes that long, or longer, to perfect a play.
 Wade has three able assistants, but does most of the coaching himself. He will get down on the ground with his players. He is the boss of them all.
 He does not believe there is over-emphasis on football. He be- lieves that the over-emphasis is on winning in football.
 Uses Single Wing
 With Variations
 Wade'S system is the single wing back, an outgrowth of the Glenn s. Warner style, but he'll incorporate any new idea which he considers good. He con- tends that the system to employ is the one that best fits the players. If they're good one way, don't try to change them. If I had to choose between a squad of good morale and one of good physical build, I'd take the one with the morale" declares the Duke director.
 Wade reminds backs that fumo- ling is the worst offense they can commit, and traces 1t to three things-failure to carry the ball correctly. a bad pass from center or one of the passing backs. or the player taking his eye off the ball in receiving it.
 He points out that returning a punt 10 yards is the same thing as making a first down, and stresses the fact that how far you kick the ball does not tell best the worth Of your bunting. How fAr the opposing team returns Dpnts k the important item.

september @%, 1917, Rt St. Louis (This Is the longest scoreless duel between two pitchers fought on September 22)
 Arthur Neht, of the Braves, and Lee Meadows of the Cardinals, turn ed back the opposition with nothing but blanks foi fourteen innings, darkness terminating their thrilling tilt.
 Nehf allowed seven hits, struck out ten, and gave two bases on balls; Meadowr yielded ten hits, famed ten, and did not walk a single batter.
 St, Louis best opportunity to score came in the tenth. Miller opened this round with a single; Betzel ran for Miller; Hornsby sac- rifced Betzel to second; Gonzales, batting for Cruise, walked; Paulette was at bat when Betzel and Con- gales attempted the double steal, but Bruno was Jagged ct third. Paulette then ended the Cards chances for victory with drive to Rehg.
 Boston lost their golden chance in the first inning, when, with one out, Maranville took third when Baird threw his bunt past Paulette. Maranville remained on third while Baird threw out Powell, and Meadows tossed out Covington.
 The Braves and Cards fielded bril- liantly, each team making but one miscue while Hornsby and Maran- vile pulled several brilliant plays.
 NOTE; On only eight occasions In the major leagues have two oppos- ing pitchers hurled more consecu- tive shutout innings than did Nehf and Meadows.

Ability to Handle Men and Sound Ideas Lift Dukes
 Wallace Wade to the Top of the Gridir0n Heap
BY HARRY CRIMSON Snorts Editor, NEA Service

6VVAWD AsAsSShb
 They say that 6 really great man is one who, at the top of the ladder through his own hard work and the boosts of his friends, reaches down and gives other scalers a helping hand.
 Such a man Is Wallace Wade, whose record as a producer of out standing football teams, first at AL abama and now at Duke, puts him at the peak of his profession.
 Wade is a typical southern gen- tleman-a true son of the south with an ancestral background that starts with William Wallace and Robert Bruce, those great figures in Scotland's history.
 Wade's life, love, and all is foot ball.
 He believes that 1t Is a man. building program. which properly conducted can be of incalcuable worth to a player in future life. He permits no whining on the field, and has no use for player who shows a half-hearted atti- tude.
 It has been written far and wide that Wade prefers big men-men of power and brawn. He does, but he also likes men who have nerve and a desire to play regardless of size. His Alabama team of 1925 perhaps was the lighteSt ever so establish a fair kind of a claim on the national title.
 Wade wants his players to study and pass in their work, but at all other times he wants them to be doing the same thing he is-think- ing of football.
 Meeting this master of the game for the first time, you are at east at his introductory words. There is not tenseness about him-just friendliness and smoothness. He'll do his best "foxing" to try to learn what you know about sub feet he wants to know more about. He's Good- Looking,
 Bronsed From Sun
 There is nothing soft about Wallace Wade, however. He'll fire up as quick as the next one.
 Wade is a good-looking man. His facial features are we'll formed, and when he smiles sun drinlles around his eyes are noticeable. His face is bronze from frequent exposure to the southern sun, and one of his fav- 0rite expressions is "I'd give the freciles off my neck to win this 1ne."
 Dixies foremost gridiron guide uueaks softly and with q Tennes- use drawl, yet his voice sounds as r ampIified on the football prac- Iice field. It is one of those carry. IT voices.

BY RICHARD MCCAIN NEA ServiCe Shorts Writer


 Washington, Sept 22.--"Where," |" MT. Clark Griffith was saying, "do they get that stuff about us just llncovering Q couple of rookie pitch ers2 They talk like those fellows just wandered into the ball park the other day ."
 The conversation, of course, had gotten around to the three sensa- tional youngsters of the Washing ton Nationals.
 Seems you can't talk about any thing in this town these days but Kendall Chase, who has beaten the Yankees twice; and Ray Phe- bus, who pitched e one-hit game against the Red Sox: and Joe Kragauskas, who held the Ath- letics to single hit in seven in- nings.
 No team in either league has come up with such a group of promising hurlers in years. The Washington fall crop of rockies has been making talk-envious talk In the other shops around the league.
 "But don't you 90 calling them overnight discoveries" complained MT. driffith. we didn't stumble on those fellows. We've been bringing them along. We've had 'em for years.
 "Take this Chase fellow. I've had him four years. Back in 1888 Q friend of mine up in New York state wrote me and told me about @ skin. ny kid lefthander who was 50 good that they were talking about mak- Ing him throw four strikes to each batter took one look at the kid and signed him up right then and there"
