AT The WASHINGTON.

The great Alibini, magician and
illusionist, will be seen next week
at the new Washington theater.
Prince Of performers of his kind,
Albini is no stranger to frequenters
Of the better vaudeville houses. To
those who have not seen him his
work will be revelation.
K While to Albini mas been accord
ed the place of honor in this weeks
bookings, there are a number \ of
other star attractions. Gibson and
Gibson, dramatic sketch artists,
are said to give a show that is ex-
ceptionally strong, while Westin,
the European wonder, is a whole
show in himself. In his imperson-
alton of great men, Westin does
some wonderful work Seamon, Ad-
ans and Rogers, singers and COM
edy entertainers, and Elsie Wolfe,
song and dance artist, will give a
touch of lightness to the perform
ance. Charles Richardson, a sweet
baritone singer, will be heard this
week in the place of VIM. Wood
fall, who has been singing the H.
lustrated songs since the opening
of the new house.
Manager Cordray has made great
efforts to make mis- holiday week
bill the strongest that has ever
been seen in this city, and his eff
forts seem to have been eminently
successful.

best man in the business on that
trick-although he could not have

OF the old Baltimore team, was the
victim on both occasions. The

WHERE SANTA CLAUS DISTRIBUTES
SECOND HAND TOYS TO THE POOR
TOY MISSION IN PITTSBURG
WHERE THOUSANDS OF
CHILDREN ARE MADE HAP
Ply.

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 81. -
This is the story of a Santa Claus
who brings second hand toys to
thousands of children in Pittsburg.
OF course, rich boys and girls
don't get this kind, for the real
Santa Claus brings them only new
toys. But there are plenty of lit
tie tots who seldom meet the real
st. Nicholas, and they are very
glad to get whatever has been dis
carded by the children whose par
ents are wealthy.
Maj. r. w. A. Simmons is going
to be the Santa Claus for about
10000 poor children this year. He
has opened up a big room here
where people are requested to
bring toys their children don't
want, and the above picture will
give you some idea of the kind of
contributions that come in. The
boys and girls take delight in TAX
ing their last years presents to
Major Simmons to give to the chill
dren whom the real Sspta Claus
is apt to miss.

FORGOT ALL
ABOUT CHILD

Mrs. M. Lynch, who lives at 1915
Riverside avenue, went into the
store of Jodoin & Davis yesterday,
and after buying few things took
up her bundles and went on her
way, leaving her little year old
girl behind.
The child was picked up by the
clerks and cared for until last night
when the mother remembered she
had child somewhere and called
up the police station. She was told
where the child was.

Talking about fighters making
weights for a battle, this man Mike
Schreck has got it on them all.
When Fitz made the middleweight
limit for Jack Dempsey he had a
logn time to do it, and went at 1t
slowly, but recently out in Los An
geles Schreck took off 10 pounds
"a hours before his battle with
Twin Sullivan. So far as | know
that comes pretty near being the
training record in prize ring an
nails. Mike went in the ring in a
weakened condition or he would
have won the fight. AS it was,
Schreck was at least entitled to a
draw, and if Sullivan is the right
sort of a guy he will give him an
other chance.
Terry McGovern will have all
the advantages in a six round bout
with Battling Nelson. Ovel the
short course Terry is about as good
as anything that trots in the little
class at present. But in a longer
battle 1t would be a shame for Mel.
son to take the money. There is
little danger of McGovern knocking
Nelson out, but the risk is great
enough to keep the Dane holding
back. Terry may get away like a
hurricane at the start and keep it
up. The Dane will find quite a diff
ferent proposition in McGovern
than he did in Britt, who does not
compare with Terry as rusher. 1t
certainly will be worth seeing even
if it does only last six rounds.
You have no doubt often heard
the expression that too much fight
ing is not good for a pugilist. Well,
this is true especially with big men.
With little men it is not so often
the case. For example, take Bat
Ting Nelson. who fought continual
ly for a year before he met Britt
the first time, and then put up the
best so of his life up to that time.
Joe Walcott was one of the fight
ers who liked to battle often Moth
ing pleased the black man so much
as to hear that he was matched to
fight with short intervals. Some of
his best friends said that the rea-
son for it was his hatred for too
much work in the training camp.
Fitzsimmons holds something of
a record in this line also. Just be-
fore the Horton law was repealed
in New York, Fitz met Sharkey
and Rubin one after the other
within Is days time.
