Green Bay Out Front
In West, but Faces
Heavy Shedding
Three Powerful Foes
Bar Path to Title.
End Ram Streak.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The Green
Bay Packers held the favored posi-
ton today to capture top honors in
the Western Division of the National
Professional Football League. but
there appeared doubtful security in
their top spot.
A title wounded Chicago Bear. a
confident Detroit Lion and an ever
formidable New York Giant. blocked
the Packers way to a Western Divi-
sion championship.
Those obstacles remained after
the Western section leaders main
tanned their first-place position yes
terday by breaking up a three-game
winning streak of the amazing
Cleveland Rams as the reeling Bears
stumbled for the third time in their
last four starts, this time before
Detroit.
Face Desperate Bears.
The Packers take on the Bears
next Sunday and foresee plenty Of
trouble. The desperate Bears need
victory, particularly over the pace
setting Packers, to stay in the run
ming. Earlier in the season the
Chicago team eked out a 20 triumph
over Green Bay.
Green Bay, playing before a crowd

28-to-7 triumph over the Rams.
Don Hutson, former Alabama star,
scored three Of the markers.
Clark Sets Scoring Record.
At Chicago, the Lions marched 70
yards for touchdown in the last
period to whip the Bears, 13 to Z,
after holding 60 halftime lead.

former Green Bay fullback, set the

Earlier, Reggie Monahan also had
booted field goal for the Lions,
but the Bears took the lead, 7 to 6,
at the start OF the final period when
Ray Buivid passed yards to Bill
karr and Joe Maniaci added the
extra point. Then Detroit retaliated,
Lloyd Cardwell plunging over to end
the long drive.
1t was the first time the Lions had
defeated the Bears at Wrigley Field

Redskins Can't Stand Defeat
After Weak Play Results
In Second Dodqer Tie

drowned out the Washington quar-
terbacks signals and it was as much
luck AS anything else that enabled
the Redskin line to sense when the
ball was snapped and hold out the
enemy as Smith swung his leg.
To return to the officials for mo-
ment. 1t was pretty bad all day,
and they apparently recognized one
wrong decision against the Red
skins for they called one against the
Dodgers almost as bad. In the last
quarter. Sammy Baugh was penal
lied IS yards for Intentionally
grounding a pass, although he shot
the ball straight to Erny Pinckert
who had just turned to receive it.
The fact that Baugh was rushed
led officials to believe he was just
getting rid of the ball.
On the very next play, however,
Baugh was tackled on an attempted
pass before the oval had left his
hands and his tumble was recovered
by a Dodger deep in Redskin terri
tory. The play was called an incom-
plete pass and Coach Potsy Clark
screamed even louder than Ray
Flaherty had seconds before.
Skins Tackling Poor.
The Redskins deserved to have
that touchdown scored against them
for If ever team looked terrible on
defense, the Indians did in the first
quarter. When Beattie Feathers re-
versed his field three times to run
so yards after fntercepting Bill Hart
mans pass, four Redskins lunged at
him and missed before he finally
was brought down from behind by
Jim Barber. And on the three
succeeding plays it seemed that Red
skins had chances to get both Ace
Parker and Ralph Kercheval before
the latter swept left end for the last
S yards to the goal line.
incidentally, Beattie Feathers
received an awful-and entirely un-

Andy Farkas which may have re-
suited in slight conclusion. Farkas
was tearing in to tackle Feathers
as he neared the 10-yard line, but

Feathers was brought down by an
other Redskin. Feathers head was

I wonder how many fans ap-

I guess I ought to apologize to

remember, I said I was going to

to give the pulled muscles in his

However, just before time

DAoAALASy
Keep your eye on that "lost" COL
umn in the Eastern Division of the
National Football League If you'd
follow the chances Of the Redskins
to repeat as sectional champions.
So long as their losses are fewer
than any other team in their divi-
sion, as they are today, ties like
yesterdays 6-6 stalemate with the
Brooklyn Dodgers don't hurt the
Redskins at all. Indeed. the Chi
cago Bears once won the profess
sional championship although they
were tied six times during the sea-
son. That was in 1882, the year
before the play-off system of the
Eastern and Western winners meet
ing for the league championship
was installed.
Once since, however, a team has
gotten into the play-off game with
two ties like the Redskins have
today. The Detroit Lions did it in
1885 when they finished the regular
season with seven victories, three
defeats and two ties.
But the ominous aspect Of the
present situation is that the Red
skins now have been tied twice, as
the New York Giants were last year
and those two stalemates were what
kept the New Workers from beating
out the Indians for the Eastern
championship.
Officiating Questionable.
Both the Redskins and the Giants
lost three games during the 1897
season but the Indians, united, won
eight games while the Giants two
ties held their number of victories
to six. Verify, the Redskins hence
forth must not catch up to the
Giants in games lost or woe will be
their cause.
Perhaps if officials of yesterday s
game had taken trouble to notice
palpable violation of the rules in
the waning moments of play yester-
day, the Redskins might have
emerged as 9-6 winners. For just
before Center Micky Parks snapped
the ball back for the attempted
field goal which Riley Smith Just

Brooklyn lineman reached across

Five yards nearer, or an attempt
from the 19-yard line, where the
ball would have been placed had the
proper 5-yard penalty been given
Smith undoubtedly would have

game.

yard, for if there was any hero of the

Referee Might Bother
Free BLEEDING Garcia.

II can hit" interrupted the
scourge of the sugar patch.
Garcia can hit" said Mr.. Par
nassus. Armstrong can hit, all
right. but not hard. He dubbed
that Ross with everything he had,
and Ross stayed up. He threw plen-
ty at Lou Ambers, and Ambers came
back to belt his ears off at the fin
ish."
He can't hit" said Garcia.
He can't hit" said Mr.. Parnassus,
driving the point home.
Garcia can hit like a mule"
"Sure," said the bolo puncher.
Like mule" said Mr.. Parnassus.
But Armstrong can't"
That is how Mr.. Garcia and Mr..
Parnassus feel about the fight for
the welterweight championship of
the world. To sum it up, they think
Garcia will win.
That also is what your corre-
spondent thinks will happen in what
ought to be one of the bloodiest
and most brutal fights between
small men in modern times. They
are strong, forward moving pair,
both of whom can hit. Garcia can
hit harder. Armstrong needs a long
series of mauling and weakening
punches to bring good man down.
Garcia, with 15-pound weight ad-
vantage, should win, very possibly
by a knockout.
The Filipino's weakness is the con-
stant incipiency of his gore. Briefly,
he cuts and bleeds easily. This
doesn't seem to bother him at all
in action, but it might bother the
officials and cause a sentimental
referee to stop the contest. Mr..
Parnassus is afraid of something like
that.
They'll stop it over my dead
body" says the late Greek.
Maybe they will, at that. Other
wise, Garcia figures to assume the

Kid, Ted Kid Lewis, Jack Britton,

By RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach Champion Washington Redskins.
The Brooklyn team we met
yesterday was so per cent i'm
proved over the one which ap-
peared in Washington last month
and I must confess I am not as
displeased with the 6-6 tie as
was with the 1916 deadlock at
Griffith Stadium.
Naturally I was disappointed
that we couldn't cash in on sew
eral opportunities to score what
would have been winning points,
but the Redskins played better
ball than the score indicates
and the game was much better
one than Washingtonians saw
here.
I must say, however, that the
Dodgers started the game more
keyed up than the Redskins. They
knew that another defeat would

just about eliminate them from
any chance of winning the East
ern title and when a team is
fighting for existence, it naturally
is harder to beat.
The Redskins, on the other
hand, experienced another of
their let-down feelings. This is
only natural, for it is next to i'm
possible to keep a team keyed up
for one game after another. You
must remember that, as cham
pions, we are pointed for by every
opponent and a team that points
for game is always much better
equipped mentally for battle than
the team which goes in to play
just another ball game. And
still maintain that the mental

tiveness Of any team.

Effects of Tobacco

Almost anything can be proved
by statistics and examples. This
appears to be particularly true
with respect to the effects of to-
bacco. long a subject of spirited
argument.
So far as physical consequences
go, its effects seem to depend
largely upon the individual. Many
who lived to an extreme old age
were users of the weed, while
others were not. Leading physi-
clans and scientists report that
little influence is exerted upon the
intellectual powers by the use of
tobacco Many literary men believe
that smoking is a stimulant to
their creative impulses.
Among the outstanding figures
of the past may be named the fol
lowing smokers: Washington, Bis
marck, Kitchener, Sturgeon, Hux-
ley, Keats, Browning, Carlyle,
Dickens, Stevenson, Howells,
Grant and Mark Twain, the last
two being inordinate users of to-
bacco.
Among the non-smokers were
Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Will
son. Greedy, Wellington, Tolstoi,
Ruskin, Haeckel, Whittier and
others.
An interesting trend of the to-
bacco habit in the last few years
is shown by the increasing and al
most universal popularity of the
cigarette. In spite of the strenu-
Gus attempts to discourage it's use
more than $50 billion are manu-

ties and accomplishments, but it
is less known that he displayed
considerable talent as an inven-
tor.
He designed his home, Month
cello, now national shrine, and
in its construction introduced
several innovations, including beds
which were contained in recesses
in the walls and suspended from
the ceiling at night in lieu of bed
steads. Into the outer wall of the
east portico he built great clock
with two faces and two sets of
hands, one face being seen from
the outside and the other from in
side the reception hail.
One of his inventions now in
universal use in offices was the
swivel chair which his political
opponents called "Jefferson's
whirligig," saying it was devised
so he could look in all directions
at once.
Other inventions included a
copying press, a pedometer and a
walking stick described as "com-
posed of three sticks, which be-
ing spread out made tolerable
seat; also an improved plow for
which he received many pre-
miums, including a gold medal
when it was exhibited in France
in 1890.
Jefferson spent considerable
time in his workshop where he
found relaxation from the cares
of public life, experimenting on all
manner of gadgets suggested by
his active mind.

Turkish Ruler Dead

Gently died at the age of So, after
a life of strenuous activity. While
his title was that Of president, he
was really a dictator, and under
his rule, Turkey was transformed
from an oriental empire into a
modern state.
Under President Renal, old Gus
toms which prevailed under the
sultans have been almost entirely
discarded, the emancipation of
women being one of the features
of his regime. Mohammedanism
is no longer recognized as the
state religion, and freedom of re-
ligion is guaranteed.
Polygamy and slavery have been
abolished, and civil marriages
made obligatory, with the power
of divorce in the hands Of the
President. Incidentally, Renal
divorced himself by decree several
years ago.
All Turks were ordered to take
family names as an aid to keep
ing police registers, army regis
tiers and tax rolls. Kemaps last
name, Ataturk, conferred by the
national assembly, simply means
"chief Turk"
Renal was an indefatigable
worker, and also a prodigious
consumer of liquor and cigarettes.
But whatever his faults, he ac-
complished much for the advance
ment Of his people. One evidence
of his craftsmanship is seen in the
fact that for II years Turkey has
had a balanced budget.
