CINCINNATI, Oct. eff the Gin
cinnati Reds had won the 1888 pen
nant. there would have been a name
ringing like a bell in every fans
heart-Oohnny Wander Nicer.
This year they marched into glory
but the slim young southpaw who
set what may be an all-time mark
by pitching two consecutive no-hit,
no-run games. never got of the
bench as the team fought it's
desperate struggle against the World
Champion New York Yankees.
Johnny Never Complains.
For some it was tragic baseball
story. The curly-haired fireballer
who won Is and lost 10 last year had
lost his stuff and his baseball future
When he got the ball over it went
right back past his ears, and most
of the time he couldn't get it over
With his S victories and defeats he
was the only Red pitcher. outside
of one relief man, with less than
500 average. The only team he
beat twice was the 7th place Boston
Bees.
Treatments failed to bring his arm
back to its old electric snap. He
scarcely pitched an inning the last
half of the season.
1t was the old baseball story-a
hero in the first year and headed
back to the bushes in the second.
Yet those who watched him
through the Reds pennant drive
saw something else. They saw a
young fellow who knew something
had gone wrong, but never COM
planned.
Battles to Regain Snap.
They saw a man doing everything
in his power to find out what was
the matter and never alibi-ing the
failures. They saw man working

hard a way as ever devised.

Debated; Lombard Lone

CINCINNATI. Oct. 9-Nomina-
ton for the saddest baseball picture
of the year..
Ernest lombard. the Cincinnati
catcher. sprawled in the dirt at the
plate after Charley Keller's slide had
knocked the ball from his hands
Then frantically grabbing the ball
and lunging unsuccessfully at Joe
Di Maggie as the fleet Yankee out
fielder made a perfect hook-slide
for the final run of the game and
series.
Since 1926 the New York Ameri-
can League club now has won 81
games. In those 13 years only two
pitchers have whipped the Bronx
bombers. Carl Hubbell of the New
York Giants turning that trick
twice, and a Giant teammate, Hal
Schumacher, setting down the
champions, s to 4, in 10 innings In
1896.
In the last 13 years the only three
National League clubs that the YAM
KEGS haven't licked in series COM
petition have been the Boston Bees,
Philadelphia and the Brooklyn
Dodgers. The five perennially
strongest teams in the senior cir
cult tried it and failed as follows:
The Reds this year, the Cardinals
in 1928, the Pirates in 1927, the Cubs
in 1882 and again in 1898 without
winning a game) and the Giants in
1886 and 1887.
Simmons Right, Says Schacht.
The opening of the ninth inning
when the Yankees tied the score
at 4-all, precipitated some argument
as to whether the veteran AL Sim
mons made the wrong throw after
Di Maggie had singled Keller to
third Some observers contended
that Simmons should have thrown
to third, and it appeared as though
a good toss easily would have nailed
Keller, who was "in high" as he
rounded second.
But AL Schacht gave Simmons this
bouquet; HE had to make a light
ming decision. He probably figured
1t risky to throw to third-and de-
cided the best bet was to heave it
to second and keep the tying run on
first base. I thought it was a smart
play"
It was a sad day all around for
lombard. He drew the first "boos''
Of the series in the tenth Is he
fouled out to Catcher Dickey after
the first two Redlegs had hit safely
and given the heretofore patiently
loyal Cincinnati fans faint ray OF
hope that the game still could be

What the commissioners do with the

to do this work when requested if
roads are in condition to use the

for the extra point, but Virginia went
into the van, 1877.
Greatly outgained in yardage during
the first half, mainly because of five
long sprints by the Virginia ace, Ely
came back in the second period and
played their opponents on nearly even
terms. The third quarter was com eosed
mainly of defensive football, with both
clubs losing considerable yardage Ely
had the wind to face, but the bunting
of Stukel even with this tremendous
disadvantage to overcome was on even
terms with that of Rukavina.
The visitors piled up 186 yards from
scrimmage, including touchdown runs,
during the first half, 164 of which were
made by their star ball carrier. Sew
eral times only some great work on the
part of the Ely backfield kept him from
scoring. Ely turned in 40 yards. Dur
ing the second half the locals made So
and the visitors 50, half of which were
through Rukavina's efforts.
Ely ball carriers were thrown for
losses totaling "a yards, and Virginia 90.

the latter 20. First downs were seven
and three in favor of Virginia, but Ely
was cheated out of one because of q
penalty.
Coach Banks club threw three passes
two good for 81 yards and one lnoom-
plete Virginia uncorked five, twr max
ing "a yards, another losing 5, one
incomplete, and one intercepted, but
disallowed because of a penalty called
on Ely for being offside
Though the figures point toward Vir-
ginia as the stronger team, it was main
ly because of Rukavina that this adj
vantage was marked up. Ely overcame
this disadvantage by having II foot
ball players on the field at all time,
something that every coach dreams
about. That great Ely line played no
small part in turning the tide eventually
toward victory for Coach Banks.
Starting the. game were Mcfarland
and Leonard Johnson at the ends;
Perko and Mayerla, guards; Ed Klun

Motor vehicle operators who may
share the impression expressed recently
by one Twin City newspaper, to the Ell
feet that the Minnesota drivers license
law lacks enforcement teeth" are due
for a sad awakening, w. F. Rosenwald,
director of the highway departments
safety division, warned this week.
In the first place, Mr.. Rosenwald
pointed out, the state law requires that
every driver of motor vehicle obtain
a drivers license and carry it on his
person at all times when he is driving.
In the second place, failure to possess
a drivers license is cause for severe
punishment, which may be inflicted by
any Judge or justice of the peace.
In the third place, the license must
be kept up to date-that is new one
must be obtained if the motorist has
changed his name or even his residence
address.
And in the fourth place, every peace
officer in the state is provided, each
month, with a full lis If oan persons
whose drivers licenses have been re-
voked or suspended. If any of these
persons resides in his particular COM
munity, every sheriff, patrolman, town
marshall, constable or other law en-
forcement official of that community
is responsible for seeing that that per-
son does not drive a motor vehicle OF
any kind during the time of revocation
or suspension.
The local law enforcement officials
along with highway patrolmen, there
fore, constitute the teeth" which many
persons enormously believe to be lack
ing from the present law. Mr.. RoSen-
valid, in a statement warning those
who are tempted to try to "get by" the
law, said: "Inasmuch as the Drivers
License Law is a safety measure and
has to do with public welfare, it is as
much the job of law enforcement
agencies to see that this law IS COM
piled with as it is to see that other
laws effecting public welfare are en-
forced.
Each month the Commissioner OF
Highways sends to every Police De-
partment, Sheriff's Office, County At
torney, and Highway Patrolman list
of all persons whose Drivers Licenses
have been revoked or suspended during
the preceding month. This list gives
names and addresses and the action
taken by the department.
THE effectiveness of any Drivers
License Law will depend largely on the
enforcement of the law administered
by all law enforcement agencies in the
state. When a Drivers License is re-

repeatedly during the past several
months, and it wasn't until Tuesday
that definite action was taken.
The new light rate will make the
first 100 kilowatts cost consumers
$500 instead of $6.70. There is of course
the regular 10 per cent reduction in ad-
dition on all bills paid within 10 days
of date of billing
Since the average family uses from
20 to 80 klowatts on year basis, the
average monthly savings will be from
IA to 81 cents In addition there will
be the customary 10 per cent reduc-
ton for prompt payment.
City Attorney Thomas j. Carey, in an
opinion to the council, stated that the
city could not legally turn over to the
Range Municipalities association the
$3.50 quota assessed by the organization.
He said, however, that the city itself
could hire an expert to prepare Stats
tical data that the association had in
tended digging out.
A request from the Ely Commercial
club that more colored lights be strung
in the business section was referred to
Paul Buccowich, Jr., superintendent of
the light and water department, for an
estimate of cost.
A report from the city health officer
gave births during September as IA
females and seven males, and deaths as
six persons.
A hearing will be held on Oct II on
the proposed construction of sewer and
water lines to point on Boundary
street. In a communication to the
council Cyrille Fortier asked for the
project.
The council will open bids at the next
