1t was a great day for Wallace
McClelland when Harry Horton
told him to take his tractor from
an Ell Centro repair shop to II,
McClelland home and keep it there
until the next day,
Immaculate from head to foot,
McCleland mounted the tractor
and started down Main street. He
presented a dapper picture with
his carefully creased trousers, white
shirt, newly polished shoes, and
jaunty white straw hat.
Motorists began to notice him
and honk their horns blithly. At
each honk McClelland would doff
his hat, bow sedately, and lumber
ahead on the tractor
AS pleased as could be, McClel-
land maneuvered the tractor into
the McClelland home and went to
dinner at the Ted Reynolds home
with Mrs McClelland.
McClelland was precccupied dur
Ing dinner. He kept looking out
of the window
I've got to hurry" he said
time or two, lit will soon be dark.
He finally left before dinner was
quite over and hurried back to
the tractor. AS twilight fell, Nc
Clelland was observed busily back
ing the tractor around his yard
and running it back and forth over
a small plot of ground.
Just like a kid with a new
toy," Mrs. McClelland said.
BY the way, do you suppose Nc
Clelland put the tractor away for
the night in his new brick dog
house?

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Travel
restrictions, which have threatened
the eXistance of such gridiron mas
terpieces as the annual Army-Navy
game, have brought the 1912 edition
of the Yale-Princeton series, the
country's oldest continuous rivalry,
to New York.
The move followed by only two
days the effective date of the ODT's
ban on special trains for sports
events.
And it preceded by only. a few
minutes statement from the
United States Naval Academy that
it, like the United States Military
Academy, would move its students
to coming football contests by boat.
Capt. L. S. Pop> Perry, the
Naval Academy athletic director
said that a Chesapeapeake Bay
steamboat would move 1000 of the
middies to Philadelphia for the
Navy-Penn game on October II. Last
week the Army athletic officers an
nounced that Hudson River boats
would be utilized to bring the cadets
to New York for games.
In explaining the Yale-Princeton
switch in midseason, acting athletic
director Asa Bushnell said "the
move was actuated by a desire to
adhere to the spirit as well as the
letter of the Government trans
portation regulation"
The game will be played on No
vember IA, its original date, on
Baker Field, Columbia University
Previously Princeton moved two
other games to New York's Yankee
Stadium, playing Navy there Sat-
urday and Army on November 21.
Although both Army and Navy
officials have expressed confidence
that their football teams will oppose
each other next month in Philadel-
phia it also is known that they have
shown concern over the transpor-
tation problem. Forty-two special
trains were run from New York
City to Philadelphia last fall and six
extra trains operated from the
Washington Baltimore area to

Hopp Escapes With Life.
First to pop out of the train was
First Baseman Johnny Hopp. Ap-
parently he was sent out as a
scout, to see what the team could
expect, for the others held back
while Hopp was pummeled, back
slapped and congratulated by the
happy fans.
When they saw Hopp escape with
his life, the rest ventured forth to
be greeted by Missouri's Governor
Forrest c. Donnell, and st. Louis
Mayor, William D. Becker.
Practically every one made a

1S42. They have believed all along
they could heat the Yankees in
March. July, october or January
That feeling, when it is sincere, is
mighty help. The Cards were not
discouraged bit when the Yankees
drove out their star pitcher Mort
Cooper, twice. They had banked
heavily on Cooper. When he was
shelled away they not only failed
to lose heart, they tore back with
more determination than ever.
First Game Gave Hint.
They saw Charley Keller's big bat
kill off their lead in two games, but
even these two massive blows failed
to leave them depressed.
The first game put on an event
that cast its coming shadow on
ahead. That came when Red Ruffing
marched into the last section of the
ninth inning leading, 7 to 0, with a
one-hitter under his arm. In the
face of this highly melancholy situa-
ton the rampant Redbirds still had
no thought of any meek submission.
They came ripping back in the
ninth to score four runs and plant
the tying, tally on first base.
Here was the first indication that
the Cardinals meant business for the
enemy all the way through.
While the Cardinals were pes
tering the Yankees at the stadium,
there was an old-time Yankee
around who had done more than
his share of Cardinal pestering in
his day. The name is Ruth.
