presentation of the sensational Irish

No play of recent years has SO
much uproarious fun and such genu-
inc heart interest as "Hon Gonson"
which will be the attraction at the
Illinois Friday evening, in which the
late Gus Heege made both fame and
fortune before his untimely death a

burS. They have secured NeIse Erick-
son, Il handsome young actor. singer
and musician. who is considered by
all odds to be the most popular play
er of dialect roles ever sent to Ameri-
ca. He is versatile and has enough
personal magnetism to supply dozen
more of the actors who are supposed
to have this quality to Il large de-
gree. All the other members of the
company are as well equipped for
their various roles. which inSures to
the play-goers of this city perform

is among the theatrical caterers who
believe in giving his patrons plenty

they have added many attractions
to the show. TO say nothing of an
entirely new scenic investiture.

RAIN PUT PRINCE
OUT OF BUSINESS.
Coliseum Races Will Be Resumed
r1Onday Night.

Rain yesterday afternoon and last
night put Jack Prince and his Coliseum
temporarily out of business. No effort
will be made to race tonight, and the
second heat of twenty miles between
Eaton, Lawson and Turville will be
run on Monday evening.
II was Jack Prince weather in earn
est. and it was known early in the aft
crnoon that the track would be too
wet for the riders. Jack decided that
II would not be wise to attempt to run
the second heat tonight for various
and sundry reasons. He is afraid, of
the weather, and, too, he has received
large number of requests not to have
racing on Saturday nights.
An interesting programme of prelim-
mary events will be arranged before
Monday, and the second night at the
coliseum promises to attract a large
crowd. Since Thursday nights race
when the Terrible Swede beat the In
door King over the tape, there has been
in a measure bad blood between the
two men. Eaton says that If his motor
had been in proper condition he would
have defeated Lawson.
The riders have discussed their re-

the wager of $50 made after the race
mas been increased to S75. Charlie
Turville. who is now Known as the ST.
lent Man, still insists that he will be
in the money, and his bet of SIS with
Callahan, who PAGES Eaton, still holds
good.
The three riders will do little pulling
out during the morning, if the weather
is good, but will not go to the track
this afternoon. The local men and
the motor riders will chase each other
around the bowl this evening, and a
cordial invitation is extended the pub
lie to watch the game of training
Prince is very we'll pleased with
Thursday nights patronage, but ex-
poets event larger turnout. Monday,
when the twenty-mile heat will be
pulled off. Innumerable requests, from
business men and others who find it
difficult to get out at night, have been
made for Sunday racing and the mat
ter is being considered.
1t may be that Sunday afternoon
races will be inaugurated at the Coli
scum within the next week. Those who
have the question under consideration
can see no more harm in racing BIZ
cycles than in racing boats, and it is
more than probable that there will be
Sunday racing in Savannah for several
weeks to come.

FIGHTERS IN FINE TRIM.
McMurray and String of GOOD
Ones Sept. 21.

Ones Sept. Fl.
A letter received from AL McMurray,
matchmaker of the Savannah Athletic
Club, states that he, Tommy Feltz.
Danny Dougherty, Jack Bennett and
Twin Sullivan, will sail for Savannah
shortly and will reach this city Sept
q, in time to be present at the Zeigler-
Douglas bout which is to take place
the following night.
The boxers that McMurray will bring
with him are but a few of the Hany
good men that the local club has slat-
ed for bouts in this city this winter.
All of them with the exception of
Dougherty are known here through
their having taken part in bouts in
this city before. Dougherty and the
rest of them WILL however, be intro
duced from the ring on the night of
the opening bout of the club.
A feature of the "go" between Doug
las and Zeigler will be the fact that it
will take place on the night of the Nc
Govern Young Corbett fight in Louis
vile. Reports of the big mill, by
rounds, will be read from the ringside,
between the rounds of the local boxers.
Zeigler and Douglas have been work
ing for their coming bout and are in
pretty good shape already. Zeigler
claims to. be rounding into his old
shape much faster than he expected to
and he is consequently much pleased,
though for that matter he has never
had any misgivings as to the outcome
of the coming battle.
Douglas has been working unusually
hard. He realizes, he says, that in this
mill he must make good, if he is to get
the position he thinks himself entitled
to in the flstic world, and so he is leav-
ing nothing undone that win leave him
MT and strong when he enters the ring.
He is in fine condition already, but is
Keeping up his work, especially that on
the road.
His training quarters are at Tybee
where he not only has fine opportuni-
ties to work, but where he gets Valua-
BILE assistance from some of the SOL
diers, many of whom are his pupils.
1t seems that these men will hack
Douglas to a man. and what's more
will come to the fight in a big body,
good many of them with money TO
pack up their judgment.

SOLDIERS AFTER BIG GAME.
Have Challenged Terre Haute Team,
for a Ball Game in Atlanta.

huNe OnaAAenScu IeTFe HNute Team
for "A Ball Game in Atlanta.
The Fort Screven baseball team hav-
ing beaten most of the clubs of South
Georgia, is now looking for bigger
game. An article from Atlanta says:
"a letter from Reta s.. Crosby, man.
ager of the Fort Screven Baseball
Club, announces that the Fort Screw
en- team is trying to arrange two
match games with the Terre Haute
club, which is contemplating a trip
South, to take place In Atlanta on
Sept q and %. The Fort Screven
team is said to be one of the strong
est amateur teams in the state, and
II the games are arranged they should
prove Of great interest
THE Fort Screven team has played
thirteen games and won nine, and has
met all the fastest amateur aggrega-
lions in the state. Several of the
games have been very close and Fort
Screven has shown ability to play
carefully and Clearly in a close con-
test. Wemer, the southpaw, who has
done the bulk of the twirling for the
Fort Screven team, is said to be an
amateur wonder, having struck OUT
forty-eight men inthIee games, againsl
the Waycross and Brunswick teams. i
THE Terre Haute team may come te
Atlanta to play the Atlanta profess
sional team at the close of the season
and If it does the games with Fort
Screven will probably be arranged. The
games, if arranged, will no doubt be
attended by good crowds
The soldiers, it will be remembered,
now have a standing challenge for a
game with any of the local clubs or
even with a picked team. 1t is not
improbable that such a game or series
of games will be arranged before the
Atlanta game takes place.
