Two of the props" called for in
1.-The Wizard of OF" are a live horse
and bundle of hay. These two arti-
cles when separate are all right, but
when they come together there is. in
the language of the street, something
doing" as Fred A Stone found. to his
cost recently in Brooklyn, where THE
Wizard" was playing.
The horse is used in the first act of
the extravaganza, in the scene which
depicts a farm in Kansas prior to its
being swept by a cyclone, diversion
which the inhabitants of that state are
accustomed to regard as common
place occurrence.
Mr.. stone plays the part of a scare
crow, and the bundle of hay is put in
his dressing room each night to be
used in making up the character and is
one of the most important adjunctS to
the welfare of the performance. In
Brooklyn the task of securing a horse
for the scene had been left to the
properly man of the theater, and that
individual, being of an economical turn
of mind, had made arrangements with
a nearby Italian fruit vender for the
loan of a Dobbin who, like Cassius,
presented "a lean anu hungry appear
ance.
On the night in question Mr.. Stone,
who had been to dinner with some
friends. arrived late at the theater, and
his dressing room door being locked,
the hay for his makeup had been de-
posted just outside. The weary nag,
who cared naught for histrionic hon
ors, spied the hay. To him it undoubt-
eddy appealed in the same way that a
hot bird and a cold bottle or a
'broiled lobster would to a chorus girl

MOCK DUCK SHOT.
Prominent New York Chinaman Way
laid by Countrymen.

New York, Nov. "A shooting af-
fray with many features resembling the
High Binder outrages of the San Fran
cisco Chinese quarter which occurred in
Chinatown today, may result in the
death of Mock Duck, one of the most
prominent members of the reform ele-
ment in the local Chinese colony. Mock
was waylaid as he was passing through
PelI street and one of two bullets fired
at him lodged in his abdomen. making
an extremely dangerous wound. When
his aSsailant who was captured as he
was running away was being taken to
the patrol box by a policeman the cou
pie were surrounded by three other

handing the release of the prisoner.

Prospects at Yale.

The Yale football squad has been in
creased to forty men by recent arriv-
ais.
Bowman is back at New Haven,
much to the qualification of all the
teams followers. Bowman, baseball
captain and crack all around athlete. is
a reliable back who has proved his
ability in a score of gridiron battles.

will again wear Eli uniforms are Tom

the same position as heretofore.
The former captain of the Amherst

summoned arrived on the scene. The
reserves found the policeman and his
prisoner backed up in a doorway, the
officer holding back three armed China
men. The would be rescuers fed when
the achievements arrived The man
under arrest is Lee Sing, a laundryman
Mock Dock was tried for the murder
of fellow Chinaman about two years
ago, but was acquitted. Immediately
after his release from prison he became
active in reform circles in the Chinese
quarter. in cooperation with the Park
hurst society. BY his work Mock had
gained the enmity of many of his fell
low countrymen, against whom the
work of the society was directed and he
had frequently been threatened with
death.

Possible Quarterhacks.

Possible Quarterbacks.
The breaking in of large number of
new men is always a grave responsible
ity, but the Harvard coaches have be-
gun the work with Characteristic vim.
Starr of the Groton (Mass.) school is
the Iikeliest recruit. No less an au-
thority than Walter Camp. chairman
of the intercollegiate rules committee.
states that Starr is very close to the
top rank among the quarterbacks of
America. 1t is almost certain that
Starr will be Harvard's field general
during the coming campaign. Dillon,
from Andever, is another quarterback
possibility.
Harrison, Phil Mills and Jim Mont
gomery are substitute players of last
year who are likely to win places on
the varsity. Harrison won his H
in the Harvard Pennsylvania game in
1908. Mills was the regular end on
Captain Kernan's team two years ago,
but he was not considered good enough
for last season.
Brill. the old Exeter tackle. is now at
Harvard. He weighs 20S pounds. but is
very fast and should make" the team.
Captain Harley will, of course, hold
down his old position at right half.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-11-03

sistant Coaches Lueder and Kent are
not idle moment.
The old players who are trying for
places are Halliday, Newman, Rice,
Costello, Hackstaff and Forgy.
The quarterback position will prob
ably be taken care of by Captain Ly-
nah.
Newman, last years center, will en-
deavor to get the place again. Hack
staff and Forgy are after their old po-
sitions on the ends of the line
Two new men, Hart and Sheldon,
each weighing 100 pounds, are likely
looking candidates for the line.

columbia's Heavy Men.

Columbia is depending chiefly on
weight to win her battles this fall. She
has a group of heavy men that few
other colleges will be able to dupli-
cate. The blue and white line should
be almost impregnable. Like the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Columbia has
suffered much through lack of weight
in recent years, and now this handicap
seems to have been removed.
Coach Morley of Columbia is an ex-
pert in every branch of the game and
should develop a winning aggregation,
something Columbia has not had CT
late.
Captain Stangland's one ambition is
to defeat Yale. A battle royal Will oc-
cur when these two old time rivals
clash in November.

RUNAWAY LAD IN PRISON.
Iowa Boy in Trouble Breaks Silence in
the Philippines.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov 3.-To rescue a
17-year-old Iowa boy from five years i'm
prisonment on a desert island in the Phil
ippines is a task which Congressman ]. A.
T. Hull of this district has undertaken.
H. r. Proudfoot of this city received a
letter from his nephew, Clarence Hender-
son. disclosing his whereabouts.
Several years ago the lad ran away
from his home in Mount Ayr and had
never been heard of until his letter ar
rived. Through some scheme he mana ged
to get a forged consent of his parents to
enter the government service. He went
to the Philippines, where he was SEN
fenced to 80 days for some breach of mil
itary rules.
He says he became stubborn and re-
fused to perform the work assigned to
him. For INSTRUMENTATION he was then
brought before the military tribunal and
sentenced to five years. He is imprisoned
at Malar island in Lagunada bay.

Columbia Versus Michioan.

The much talked of game between
Columbia and the University of Michi-

interesting gridiron events of recent
years If it is definitely arranged. AS
the negotiations now stand the two
teams will probably play in New York

We will then have a splendid oppor-

and western teams.
