PARADE FOR AL SMITH New. York City Greets Governor \,’Mh Old-Time Celebration. Néw York, Oct. $0.—With a torch- light and red fire parade, including several bands, Staten Island tender- ed its first reception of the guberna- toridl campaign to Governor Alfred E. Smith last night. “It would serve no useful purpose to go over the numerous misstate- ments and inaccuracles in the so- called 1abor record of the republighn party that the Colonel mentions,” Governor Smith deciared. “Every time I check him up on one mis- statement he makes another. He never seems to want to learn. He does not have to go back to 1847 to let the people know whera he stands on these questions, they have his own record."” The governor said Calonel Roope. velt reminded him of Andy Gump in being All things te all people. There is this difference, though,” he sald. “Andy Gump would, never wear another man's collar.” Mrs. George Macauley Brings Divorce Suit Jane Ellida Parlee Macauley has filed suit for divorce against George K.

In football the team that ad- §1 | vances the ball the greater distance, | Thomas, wis found hanging in his makos the most first downs, does cady this fall some 'unusual sltuations have been produced on the gridiron, Certain teams, after having completely outplayed their opponents for three periods, lose beeause of a costly fumble in the final quatter. As in b;wbnll, the breaks vory often prove the deciding factor and make possible victory for a team that seemingly was beaten from the start, \ 5 ' In college circles such happenings are not regarded as breaks, rather making the most of the opportuni- tes offered. Breaks is a term peculiar to pro- fesslonal baseball, et it aptly ap, plies to the freak things®hat can Bappén on the gridiron as well as the ball fleld. . .. 'Cln you imagine a team making 12 times as many first downs as its rivals, holding the advantage in every other department of play, yet being beaten. No! Well, it happened in a re- cent game between Penn State and Getrgia Tech, { . o0 The Famous Game In that game, now a part of foot- ball history, Georgia Tech won, 15 to 13, despite the fact that Tech made only one first down while Penn State earned an even dozen. The breaks of the game favored Georgla Tech. The southerners fol- jowed the ball and when a costly fumble or some other slip crept in- to the game, they made the mostq of it. . In this game the downs weré 12 to 1 in favor of Penn State. The yards gained by rushing were 4 to 1 in favor of the same team. In forward passing the losers complet- ed seven for big gains while the winners did not put over a single pass, Georgia Tech followed the hall and had a good kicker. Those two features more than balanced the edge that Penn State employed in other departments of play. The team that keeps fighting al- ways has a chance. The fighter by his determination usually makes the breaks, deserves them. In the recent world serles be- tween Washington and New York, gameness alone decided the issue. ‘Washington believed it could not be beaten and wasn't. Possible that same spirit won for Georgia Tech. [ Al AR > Follow the ball, watch for the breaks and then be in a position to take advantage of them, has made it possible for many & game club in football and baseball to overcome obstacles that apparently had them in the also-ran class. . .o ‘Walter Johneon’s Case What is Walter Johnson going to do next year? Fandom, pleased that Johnson emerged from tite recent world geries a hero, doesn't like the idea of having him pass out of the pic- ture. * I am inclined to think that Wal- ter will come back for another year under tle big tent. However, I do know that he is more than anxious to secuhe a fran- chise in one of the larger minor leagues, preferably the Pacific Coast. Johnson figures that he would be a good attraction, could pitch at least once a week, and if he had a good break, just about pay for the club in three or four years. Johnson llkes baseball. It is his livelihood. He wants to continue in it but i wise enough’to know that he cannot go on forever. He wants to retire in good standing, not as a has-been. DRUG TRADE INCREASE, Cambridge, Maas, Oct. 30.—The past year was one of distinct im- provement in the wholesale drug trade, according to a bulletin issued today by the Harvard bureau of business research. This ~improve- ment was accomplished primarily through a reduction in the aver- age ratio of total expense, the bulletin said. The average firm, based on the statistics from 117 firms consider- Led, had net sales of $1,100,000, a gross margin of 17 per cent of this amount, total expense of 15.6 per cent, a net profit of 1.4 per cent and a stockturn of 3.9 thmes during the year.

J, Oct. 30,~The body of Frank Thomas held in fail here as a materlal witnebs in' the slaying of his wife, Mrs. Grace cell in the Warren county jail here ‘today by Warden Smith, Thomas had hanged himself by his suspenders. The body of his wife was found in an abandoned iron mine nemw Oxford on Tuesday. Thomas was to have been tra ferred to the Flemington fail in Hupterdon county today where Pros- ecutor Miller, it is said, planned - to formally charge him with murder, Authorliles Investigating the mur- der of Mrs. Thomas, in connection with which her husband had been held without bail, said today that two witnesses had told them of see- ing a dilapidated automobile con- taining two men drive through Ox- ford on the road leading to the old iron mine on Sunday night - about dusk. Both witnesses reported see- ing burlap bags in the rear of the car. The first observer of the car, Lewis Wildrick, township clerk who lives a quarter of a mile from the abandoned mine hole, reported that one of the men, who was of slight build, he believes was Thomas, The other man, who was driving the car had a light beard, wore a brown shirt, gray sweater, and gray cap. The second abserver, Delmar Green, reported the same appearance of the men and their clothing, and particularly noticed the burlap bags as the car passed his home on the Main street. ‘With the principal suspect's sul- cide having clesed that end of the cage, the authorities today said they would continue their investigation to establish the identity of the second man in the automobile which they believe carried the woman’'s body to the spot where it was found beneath burlap bags Tuesday morning.

New York, Oct. 30.—Governor Smith’s plurality in New York city in the coming election will be great- er than the 479,000 he obtained in 1922, it is predicted by George W. Olvany, leader of Tammany Hall. His statement, the first in which he has talked figures, comes as an of- ficial Tammany prediction. John W. Davis, democratic presi- dentia] candidate, will be “well up with Governor Smith” in the voting, the Tammany leader predicted. “The drift from La Follette set several days ago,” said Mr. Olvany, “The drift is to the whole demo- cratic ticket.
