The playing of Happy Harmon, Billy Galvin, Foley and Swan, was stellar for the Capitol City team. For New Britain, Jack Hagearty, who scored the touchdown for the lo- cals, Slim Politis, Berlew, Macristy, Cashen Seeley and Bernie Conley, starred.

Be- fore he departed, however, Judge Landiy talked with newspaper men and told them something of his mus- ings concerning the steps to be taken tor the scrapping o: any remaining | baseball barnacles and tho complete rehabilltation of the professional sport, which was baaly bruised by recent revelations, but is now con- sidered convalescent. | The Judge spoke generally rather | than specifically of hu plans, but his hearers gathered the clear-cut impres- sion .that his theories of baseball's need would be converted into deeds He said [that thus far he was fceling his way along, gathering into his hands the strands of the somewhat disheveled situation. Ril Game of Gambling. “The keynoto of the entire outlined plan,’ sald Judge Landis, “is to rid our great national game of the burden of gambling. Untiring erfort will certain- ly efféct this and untiring effort is what wa propose to bring o bear. In this essential we hope and ask for the hearty co-operation or the fans as well at the players. “In speaking of the fans, I do not refer to such professtonal gamblers as chance to be also fans. I mean the great army of real lovers of baseball, the hundreds of thousands whose sup- port and confidence are utterly neces- siry to the success of the game. “As for the gamblers, they ‘Will be atteded to with a firm hand. Action as drastic as may be necessary Wwill bg taken to keep them away from the ball parks of all the leagues associated | with us, and any gther nceded meas- ures 4o prevent the game’in any way adopted.

I feel that such episodes at the parks, especially at a time when baseball i3 emerging from shadows cast by gambling. are to be adversely criti- cised, becauso of tho appearanco and will also be thosd@ipbscrving them “Gambling by professionals, as I have stated, will be obliterated as far tha plants of our clubs are con- cerned. I have found in my judicial career that, in general, the ‘honest gambler is a mpth. Professional gamb- ling leads in its train about all the vicea and all the crimes that exist. 1 say this in spite of the fact that I have known of ono or two profession- ala im this fleld who scemed to have a genuino sense of honor. “Having been and still remaining, a fan myself, I share tne deep regret of all baseball enthusasts over that world agries of 1919, It will be our ef- fort to operate so thoroughly that fur- ther iInfection will bo prevented and that the recollection of that unhappy episoda will seem only a bad dream. To Invoke State Laws. “Concerning the piayers implicated, suffice it to say that there is absolutely no chance for ar f.them to creep back imo organized baseball. They will be and will remain outlaws. While it is possible that no further fitting pun- ishment will be found possible in cer- tain cases, it is sure that the guilt of somé of them at least will be proven “Most of the States already have anti-gambling statutes, of greater or less rigor, in effect. These will be in- voked wherever needed to help ua in our campaign. In other states, not pro- vided with sich laws an effort will be made whero it seems neeessary to have them enacted.” LARSEN NAVY CAPTAIN Minneapolis Boy to Lead Midshipmen Eleven Next Scason—Bob Folwe Retained as Coach. Nov. 29—Changing the custom of years by which the elec- tion of a football captain was layed for some weeks after the Army game, the members of the squad held an election on the t returning to Annapolis and namved Emery E. Larsen of Minneapolis as captain for next season. He has played centre for two years. He is also a membaer of the lacrosse team and s one of the threc members of the football m who will be iirst cl " ar, the others being King and Koehler. Bob Folwell has accepted the offer to coach the team next year, though some of the details remain to be ar ranged. In spite of the yelling which was so Annapolis, Md., de- much in evidence at the Polo Groundy Saturday, the Midshipmen proved that they had something left when the vic- torfous team arrfved in Annapolis last | evening. They were met by the regi- | ment of midshipmen at the main gate | of the academy and given a welcome which such a hard-fighting team de- served.

At the State Arm- ory Saturday night before a large crowd the Lake street crowd turned in a brilliant exhibition of Lasketball and when the final blast of Timer Johnson's whistle had shrillsd, Pells- tier's boys were on the long end of a 30 to 19 victory. W. Walther, the S Works speedy Ioiward., was factor in the tory for h.s egistering seven field goals and six from the foul lino. Dick Ander- | son contributed three protty fierd | goals. The defensive playing of Schroeder and Captain Pelletier was all that could be desired. Captan Schade did well for the vanquished team. While the Rulemakers were beaten, they showed some fine play, "and with Artie Campbell in the line- up, will be a strong contender for | the championship. The Corbin team trimmed the Silent Five team of Hartford, 34 to 23, in a game that Cossette, a former mem- ber of the mutes featured for the victors.

It s anticipated that tho new sys- tem will aid materially in the develop- ment of individual play and the moulding of a fast team. Competition for the Yale nine is expected to be unusually keen this year becauso of the number of wacancies to be filled. Captain Peters, catcher Diamond, first baseman Aldrich, shortstop Murphy, Crane and P: ns, outfielders - and Selleck and Coxe, nioundsmen, are veterana who will be available to the nine next year. The remaining positions will have to be filled from candidates from last year's squad, from jast vear'd freshman nine and from play- ers who were incligible last year.

Between business and Reynolds factories and a bully time-—well my date book has been bubbling over! And, I'm still running into facts that would stag- ger even your imagination, old football, with all your kick! Pete, take it straight from government figures direct to you, that every work day in the week R. ]J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. buys from our “Uncle Sam” enough revenue stamps to pay for a duplicate of the hand- some new Winston-Salem post office build- ing! Ever hear of such a thing? And, if you want to get an eyefull of an army of more than 15,000 people, be down in the Reynolds factory district when the whistles blow! Never saw such a cigarette firing-up time in my life! Peter, everytime you light a Camel in the future, call back on what I've slipped you bout Camels — absolutely, the greatest cigarette at any price—for quality, for re- freshing flavor, for mellow mild body, for freedom from any unpleasant cigaretty aftertaste or odor! It’s worth the busiest smoker’s time to compare Camels with any cigarette in the world! Camels are simply a revelation! You know that. I'll open my eyes in Atlanta tomorrow! In the meantime here’s a wad of best wishes I have in stock! Yours Prince-
