There waa no reason for de lay and the reasons given in the last article issued by the Commle sioner ia merely a case of another "run around." Commissioner Lan dis removed from the last World Series game in Detroit. The writer does not know of the cir cumstances In Philadelphia which resulted in the proteating of the game, but the writer does know that the Commissioner la directly responsible for the handling of all World Series games, and he should have given the umpires at least the courtesy of an answer when ap pealed to direct by umpire Craig during the playing of the game If there were ever need of a Com missioner, it was at that time, when both umpires were being admittedly abused. To cast reflections at tne umpires at this late date is vtry childish, but still it in line with all the baseball actions of the 1934 CommUsloner. Tenney Blount of Detroit.

Today loot ball fans from all ovtr tne Southwest witnessed Juat uch an exhibition, when the Wiley Cata met the Kentucky Tnorooreaa. Such a display of broken fleld run ning, aerial attacka and tbe like haa not before been witnessed by sports followers of this section, and the Thorobreda trampled on tne Cats 33 te 0. Befoie the klckoff. the two teams were apparently unconcernea ae spite the fact that both tea ins knew what they were up against, ine Kentuckians made the klckoff to Wiley and on Wiley's second play a long pass was intercepted and run by the Thorobreda.

The eame happening occured many times during the ame, making the Wiley aerial attack look off in comparison with the upstatera' throws and catches Following their Interception, the Kean boya aent Edwards their triple threat man through the Wiley line for a few yarda; then. after some stiff Cat opposition, for a goal off a 3 yard pui Ttey quickly made a touchdown and an extra point. After the kick off. Texas came back with Patter sen nr.aking a beautiful 23 yard run through several of the Thorobreds linermen. In further attempting a comeback, the Wiley squad tneo ts paasing attack again and again with but little avail against their opponents.

After another final attempt, the ball was intercepted and again run for a touchdown, making the score 13 to 0 at the end of the first quarter In Kentucky'a favor. The Long coached boya showed their superiority in making first downs but could not get the pig skin across tbe goal line. Reed, a young back on the Wiley team, showed up exceptionally well for the Cata. giving them many of their yards.
