two cues. Mr.. Blodgett allows them to
run to the center of the sticks and
then, without seeming cause, one of
them leaves its mate and starts for
the top end of the cues, which, by this
time, are held almost perpendicularly.
AS soon as the first ball reaches the
top the second starts to follow and
when it reaches the top remains there
until the third begins to climb and
finally reposes beside its companions
When he wants the balls to return to
their original positions he calls"
them one at a time. The inventor of

Charleston the Blue and White finds
itself in the unusually tou@h luck
which has characterized the progress

The first mishap came when Sulli-

season, and never fully recovered from
this accident. Then Mitchell had his
collar bone broken, and Cornwel had

not been able to play since the first
game of the season on account of an
operation, and johnson was laid up

Capt Cope thought that the limit
had been reached when Sullivan
broke his collar bone Monday and was
incapacitated for any further playing
this season, but there was still another
blow which fell yesterday when Har-
mon went to bed i'll, which may pre-
vent his playing Monday With these

At practice last night Joe Rossiter
was tried out in the baekfield, with
Frank McIntire at right half and Doty
n left half. There were several for
mer stars on the Blue and White out in
uniform, all trying to fill in the vacant
spaces in the backfield. Alex Krenson,
one of the greatest half backs Savan-
nah ever produced, was out in full re-
gala, and ran through some of the
plays
Williams a young mechanic at the
Seaboard Air Line shops, who played
with the University of Kansas about
two years ago, was also new addi-
ton to the list of candidates for a
backtield position. He is looked on as
good material if he can be developed in
time for Monday. Williams weighs
1SS pounds stripped and is "touted" to
be a ten second man. Capt. Cope is

MORE HARD LUCK FOR TEAM ON
EVE OF STRUGGLE OF TIE YEAR


plenty of speed and condition whenever
put in, but the idea now is to get much
heavier men behind the line if posi-
bic.
For. the first time i'm years shrewd
football enthusiasts have made Charles
ton favorite in the betting at odds Of
to l and s TO g. Several offers of 2 to
were snapped up so promptly yesterday
morning around Israel's place that the
odds went to to 3, and betting at these
figures was brisk.
one offer of 2 to on Savannah was
made by Manager Mclntire to one of
the members of the anvil chorus" who
was busily engaged in telling every
one he met what Charleston was gong
to do to Savannah. The knocker would
not produce. Of course Manager Nc
Intire nor any other sane man would
make any such bet as this, except under
such circumstances.
Not SO Much Heavier
Figuring on weights, Savannah will
not be so much lighter than Charles
ton when the men who actually en-
gage in the scrimmages are taken into
consideration Cope, at l1S, Cubbedge
at 1873 and Harmon at 141 pull SaVan-
nah's average down considerably. In
defensive play neither of these men
are into the line scrimmages, Harmon
going out on Lalsberg's end while
Lansberg takes Harmon's place at de-
fensive left half. This puts an av-
erage weight of about 1870 pounds in
the line and secondary defense. This
is but a few pounds short of Charles
tons weight.
According to reports received from
Charleston yesterday there VIII be
less than 100 rooters to accompany the
team. This was learned from the
fact that a guarantee of 100 passen-
gers would not be made to the rail-
roads so they would be warranted in
putting on a rate asked tor.
An order for twenty-six seats came
from Jacksonville yesterday, and the
Jays will come up prepared to root for
Savannah with a will. I'VE are with
Savannah" one of them said during
the game here Monday because the
people are so loyal and the team is so
Jealous of its reputation, showing

The Charleston College team, which
will come over for a game with the
Columbus of Savannah Monday morn

tomorrow with the Charleston team.
This game, in itself should prove an
Interesting event. Guy Gunter has
been assisting in coaching the Charles

PARKER IN NEW YORK CITY,,
Democratic Candidate Meets Several
Party Leaders,

New York, Sept. 16.-Judge Alton B..
Parker arrived here from Esopus early
in the morning and was driven direct
ly to the Hotel Astor. On his arrival
there he was greeted by former Sen
ator Henry G. Davis, the vice presi-
dental nominee. and William F. Shee-
han, who accompanied him to his
apartment and went into conference
with him. Senator German, it was
said, was expected later in the day.
The purpose of this visit by the
judge, as well as of the others which
are expected to follow, is to meet those
persons with whom he desires to con-
fer or who wish to consult with him.
On one of the trips it is believed the
Democratic nominee will have a talk
with former President Cleveland.

The restoration of the Trondhjem
cathedral is proceeding slowly. The
work has been coming on for years

that the ''restora ton" will be COM

T1Ondhjem cathedral is in many re-
spects one Of the most wonderful
edifices in Europe and when com
pleted, it is safe to say that it will be
the most artistically finished cathedral
in northern Europe. Emperor William,
as is known, has interested himself
great deal for this edifice having

! It must be especially gratifying for
the eminent old dramatist Henik 1bsen
to know how much he and his works
are appreciated abroad. In Norway,
France, England and America Ibsen
is now being read and interpreted
with more genuine appreciation than
ever before. In England his books
are generally read and his plays re-
ceived with increasing interest. and
the same is coming to be true of Amer
lea. But it seems that Germany has
received Ibsen with more enthusiasm
than them all. 1t appears that the
Ibsen plays have not suffered as much
in the translation as he been the case
when they have been transposed into
coming season there will be many
1bsen companies travelling in Germany
and they will everywhere meet APP
preciative audiences, judging from the
enthusiastic way in which the Ibsen
dra ma was received in Berlin, Munich,
Bremen, Hamburg and ether places
last winter. An Ibsen fest was recent
ly held in Gossensass, German sum-
mer resort, which years ago was much
frequented by the author while he
resided in Munchen. The fest was
conducted by a young author named
Felner-Cmosko and was attended by
more than 400 Ibsen readers. An in
teresting feature about the fest is the
fact that it was held in Catholic viii
lage, whose inhabitants cannot be sus-
pectedf: Of sharing the northern dra-
matists hereto views. In fine
the villagers Of beautiful Gossensass
love their Ibsen and hold festivals in
his honor. A life size picture Of the
dramatist may now be seen in the
rotunda at Hotel Grobner.

held until 1897. He became member
Of the storthing in. 1859 He was re-,
