hood Dallas Makes Good Showing
gv The Dallas High School foot ball
| team looks quite good this year. The
boys made a very creditable showin
in their opening game against Forty-
f Fort when they held that strong ag-
| gregation to 19 points. The team has
plenty of weight in the line and there
are some good backs who should bs
able to make advances with the bali
for some first downs when they get
f the rough edges worn Off. Coach
Wormley:, is working hard with the
team and the results of the practice
sessions 'so far were more than evi-
dent last “Saturday. It must be re-
pi membered the team this year is one
of youngsters. Graduation next
Spring will hit the team very lightly
i and by next year there should be a
{ real football aggregation ready to do
t battle for the Blue and Gold. It has
fois h been a long time since Dallas had a
“if
]
i
gridiron machine which will be able
to go out and win games consistently.
The boys who play have their own
” work to do and it is hoped they will
| “stick together” take a real interest in
1 the game and give Dallas high school
the kind, of a team which the insti-
} tion can be justly prowd of.

x Gar Wood's unsatisfactory victory
age over Kaye Don in the recent speed
A boat race at Detroit has come in for
{
| some critisism.
' | As usual there are two sides to the
| question, but before bringing that out
| the facts should be known.
| ‘What took place was this; Wood
. jumped the gun and Don followed him.
Wood's brother, there were only three
starters in the race, waited for the
. signal, the proper one, and started
around the course. He was the vic-
tor for the simple reason that the oth-
er two were disqualified.
The charge against Wood is that he
deliberately drew the Englishman off
side so that the other American could
win.
The argument in his defense is that
it was all part of the game.
| The unfair part was that Wood ran
in team work, when he had a two to
one advantage over Don; whereas, in
all games contested by teams, each
side should have an equal number of
men.
Against the argument is cited that
the jockeying is considered part of the
race and as a matter of fact any race
and it is stated further that there are
some events which an equally number
of men compete.
There is nothing new, nor is it dis-
‘creditable, for an inferior runner to
i get away out in front, running a fast-
er race than he can sustain, in hope
that a speedy opponent will try to
keep up with him, and play himself
out by doing it; after which a team-
mate of the inferior racer will breeze
through to an easy victory over his ex-
hausted opponent.
It has not been known for an ordin-
ary runner, in a hundu#d yard dash, to
jump the gun deliberately, hoping to
draw a respected opponent into the
same flaw, while a team-mate of the
crdinary man hangs back, and then
takes advantage of the handicap im-
posed on his most dangerous competi-
tor.

{ The Hack Wilson Mystery
i Hack Wilson's failure this season, is
: { one of the mysteries of baseball. No-
i body seems to know how it came
about.
x Wilson was the idol of Chicago fans
| and one of baseball's highest priced
players in 1930. Big things were ex-
. pected of him in 1931. Instead, he had
i to be benched several times, and now
is off the bench and is being offered
for sale or barter. i
William Wrigley, owner of the club,
who knows more about making dollars
than judging ball players, is said to
favor gétting rid of Hack, preferably
to the Brooklyn club.
But it might be very much of a mis-
{! take to sell Wilson's contract to
Brooklyn. Great players who slump
have away of coming back. The great
Hack, at his best, just about would
make, the Brooklyn outfit, which would
have been in the thick of a pennant
right now, except for a disastrous
; early season campaign.
) Wilson himself is confident he can
come back. Chicago would do well
‘ to be eareflil regarding which club to
transfer him to.
The Yankees have' signed Dr. Eddie
Farrell, former Giant, Brave, Cardinal
and Cub infielder, from the Los Angl-
es club of the Pacific Coast league for
delivery pext spring.
The chances of Art (Whataman)
Shires coming back to the majors next
year under the banner of the World's
Champion Athletics faded entirely
away last week when Connie Mack
announced the purchase of Oscar
Roettger, star first baseman of the St.
Paul Club of the American Associa-
tion. No purchase price was announc-
i ed in the disclosure of the: deal ex-
cept that the A’s agreed to pay a cer-
f tain amount of money and also turn
‘over ‘a ‘suitable player. The player in-
cluded in the transfer will probably
not be known until next year. The
new Mackman, a native of St. Louis
‘dnd a brother of Wally Roettger, Car-
dinal outfielder, is generally regarded
as the best fielding first baseman in
the Association and is also a consis-
tent 300 hitter.
Del Bissonnette, Brooklyn first base
man came within a single chance of
tying a major league record when he
had only one putout during the entire
J game at Cincinnatti, September 10.
| The lone play came in the sixth in-
ning, when Del took Dazzy Vance's
throw after Hendrick had grounded to
the pitcher. The all time record for
the fewest putouts handled at first
base in a nine inning game is held
jointly by A. B. McCauly, who went
through an entire game with a single
at
m———
putout while playing for Washington
in 1891, and John W. Clancey, who
turned the same ty doi with the White
Sox on’ April 17,

Babe Ruth is $250 poorer as a re-
sult of what turned out to be a pretty
bad betting investment. Before the
start of the present season, the Babe
laid that amount on the line with the
wager that Vernon Gomez turned in
the tenth.blow of the season—and the
Babe paid.
Kay Don says that another meeting
between Gar Wood's speedboats and
the Miss England II depends entirely.
on how Lord Wakefield, owner of
the latter craft, feels about it. Don
says he is willing to drive it against
the American Hoan Sneed merchant merchant.

A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact.

She cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn’t got a lot
Of intellect to show.
But none the less most roosters have
\ Enough good sense to crow.
The busy little bees they buzz,

The watch-dog barks, the gander quacks \
And doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail and squawks.
Pigs squeal and robins sing.
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.

That nature could devise,

"New Way To Get Fishworms
The American Game Association
suggests the following methods for
obtaining fish worms, although it is
rather late in the season the methods
may come in handy for local fisher-
men for next season. Here © it is;
sprinkle the lawn and the worms will
think its raining. Get an extension
cord from the kitchen or any other
place and two copper curtain rods
from the bed room or from the Attic
over the garage.
Connect one wire of the extension
cord to each of the rods and put these
into the lawn three feet apart. Plug
in on a light socket. Turn on the cur-
rent.
It’s not known what the worms will
think ‘then, but the association guar-
antees that all of them within an area
of six to eight feet will come to the
surface to see what it's all about. Try
it, if it doesn’t bring results don't
blame us.

“Why are you always late for your

Johnny thought awhile. It looked as
though he were whipped, but suddenly
his face lighted up and he said: It’s be-'
cause of a sign I have to pass on my
way here from home.
A sign?, inquired the teacher. ‘And
