Eureka Little Theatre Guild Reaches
Climax.

The most spectacular production
yet put on by the Little Theatre
SGHHd was appreciated by an audi
ence of over 500 on Thursday even
irfg-atS the high school gym. An
Old Kentucky Garden, an operetta
featuring the we'll loved songs of
Stephen Foster, touched the hearts
of those present producing remi-
niscent mood further enhanced by
the beauty of the typically Southern
stage setting with its white eofan-
AIDES, picket fences and twining
vines. In this natural setting the
Southern bellies in gorgeous hoop
skirted gowns, with lovely curls
and demure manner demonstrated
the popular dances of their period
ably assisted by the gentlemen Of
their day. Further appeal was made
by the beautiful back drop depict
ing a scene of blue sky and fluffy
clouds which was changed into a
beautiful moonlight scene by skill
full lighting. The Community Club
orchestra (WPA RecreationaD add
ed its bit of glamour to the evening
by playing the overture for the pro-
duction in addition to several other
selections. The individual talent of
the soloists was brought into action
as each gave his or her interpreta-
ton of the many Stephen Foster
songs and the mellow beauty of the
chorus was such as to linger long
in the memory of all present. Com

T,uo Candidates II, Michigan
Termed Presidential Timber
Third of q SERIES,

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Oct. 28.-The governor
ship fight in Michigan-a State with
two potential presidential candidates
has commanded the attention Of
national political leaders in both
major parties.
Michigan Democrats are counting
on electing Gov. Frank Murphy to a
second term
Republicans predict former Gov.
Frank D. Fitzgerald will sweep the
State, return 1t to Republican control
and place it squarely behind Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg as a possible
1910 presidential candidate
Murphy, like Vandenberg, has been
spoken of as presidential timber. The
Michigan governor, a frequeht visitor
at the White House, has been described
by President Roosevelt as true lib
eral." Vandenberg has advocated a
coalition Of Republicans and "Jeffer-
sonian Democrats to beat the New
Deal
Murphy, a former Detroit mayor, re-
turned in 1886 from his post as Amer
lean High Commissioner to the Philip
pines and defeated Fitzgerald for the
governorship The great industrial
strikes followed and Murphy was
hailed by his friends as master arbi-
traitor. Murphy followers claim labor's
support in the current contest. Fitz-
gerald has bid for the support of ad-
vocates of industrial peace urging
creation of State mediation board to
arbitrate strikes.
The red-haired, 45-year-old bachelor
governor, citing huge grants in aid
that the State has received from the
Roosevelt administration, is urging
Michigan to string along with the
President.
Fitzgeralds recent reply was "the
voters and not President Roosevelt are
going to dictate who shall be gov
ernor" Michigan election officials
report huge increases in registrations
and predict a record vote.
The bitter fight to return Michi-
gan. to the Republican side of the
ledger where she was listed during
most of her Statehood. has been car
ried into the congressional districts.
Neither Republican Senator Vanden-
berg nor Democratic Senator Prentice
Brown faces an election this year.

The New Deals

Plans for baseball's 1899 campaign
already have set in and foundations
laid for off-season deals. Alva Brad
ley fired the first broadside of the
winter campaign in announcing that
several of his Indians, including Earl
Averill, Lyn Larry and Sammy Hale
were definitely on the trading block.
The disappointing campaign of the
Cardinals, supplemented by medi-
OGRE seasons for the clubs AA farms
has led insiders to believe that Med
wick or Mize, or both, will not be
with the St. Louis team next year.
The Cardinals already are over
stocked without Medwick, whose
value ranges anywhere from $780,
600 to 100000 in an open market.
Over in the American league the
Yankees will probably stand pat,
with the exception of selling or trad
ing Jake Powell. This will be done
to make room for Charley Keller of
Newark.

Yardage

For yardage gained by running
plays, two Texas Tech boys led the
returning gridiron heroes. They
were Elmer Tarbox and Bobby
Holmes. Both of them gained more
than 725 yards apiece. "Whizzer"
White, now of the pro ranks, gave
his Colorado team 1921 yards in
1887.
Although Pingel of Michigan State
led the nation in individual kicking,
St. Mary's led the country as a
team. Michigan State, Iowa, Ten
nessee and Duke were behind the
leaders.
For yardage gained by running
plays, the University of Colorado
earned first team honors with 2,48O
yards total for the season which
gave them an average of 80 yards
per game. ''Whizzer" White &C.
counted for 60 per cent of them.
