 FOR YALE SHOW

Tn spite of the hords of candidates who have presented themselves for parts in London Assurance' the new Yale play. the coaches have been un- able to discover the material they want for several of the parts One of these is Max Harkaway. a bluff old English hunting squire with boom ing bass voice who speaks his mind as he feels 1t, Sir

The other night when man after man failed to come up to the requirements of the part Mir. Thomson waxed exceedingly wroth and said. Well. I'm getting pretty much discouraged with you fellows and I've about concluded that I'll have to issue a special call among the football men in order to get the man I want As soon as the Harvard game is over I'll get some of them over here and unless you fellows look out we'll have Captain Ted Coy or Goebel taking Max Harkaway."
 This news has cast great gloom into the camp of the dramatic "heavies" for they realize that Captain Coy has a great deal of dramatic ability and if he tries for Max Is pretty sure to make the part. He has been too much wrapped up in the development of the eleven to think of any further ac- tivfties during the past week, but as he has good voice and has already himself on the Giee club. there is a good chance of his trying for dramatic homo

EDGEWOODS IN CLASSY GRIDIRON
 STRUGGLE MOW DOWN MOHICANS
Vctors Have Good Claim to Junior Championship Big
 Crowd Present-Both Elevens Perform Finely

Hats off to the Edgewoods. The youngsters from the Western section of the city again repeated their sue cesses of Sunday after Sunday. yes terday by trimming the Mohicans. a
 bunch of snappy youngsters from the Golden Valley 11-O- The result went a long way in settling the junior city championship. considerable money changed hands on the result. The West Enders were backed by Danny Walker and the Golden Valley artists by Patsey Morrissey- The contest was played at the Circus grounds. drawing a crowd estimated at between 2,5OO and 5000.
 The teams were evenly matched as far as weight goes. but as the score shows the Edgewoods showed their staying powers. their continual line bucking wearing out the Mohicanites- The contest was played on a clear field. all four sides being banked with humanity. kept in bounds by ropes loaned to the Edgewoods by Chris Rickard, the truckman. The crowd kept off the field throughout the game. save during the final moments of play when the excitement of the brilliant plays ripped off by the Edge woods was too much for their sup porters. Then the throng broke loose. and could not be kept in bounds. The game. however. went on, without any molestation. The scores of the v1ctors came on two touch downs. made in the last fifteen minutes of play in the sec ond half. both halves going for 30 minutes each.
 The first half saw the Mohicans having the best of the argument The way those boys tore off trick after trick on the EdgewOods made the latter's rooters. uneasy. They. had a number of good chances to score be- ing within the danger zone a number of times. but could not seem to pro- duce the necessary tally. due to the strong defensive work of the Edge woods when their goal line was real ly in danger. In this half the Edge woods also ripped off number Of brilliant line plunges- The Mohicans seemed to be more proficient in the of the forward pass. while the Edgewoods had the better man doing the bunting for them. which with their gains made through the line. made up for the long runs of the Mohicans on the forward pass es. The winners could not seem to work the forward with any success. Mohfcan player always being under the ball when it sailed out of the air.

 DEFEATED THE
 SOUTH ENDS

The South Ends and the Thunder bolts baftled fiercely at Steeplechase yesterday afternoon. the latter winning 11-0. making a touchdown in each half. The game was the second of a series of three for the city championship The first encounter a week ago result ed in tie. and both teams will meet again next Sunday at the island Ac- cording to the South End supporters the victors were not entitled to either touchdowns There was question on each play. They claim that the first touchdown was scored by Noonan. who would have been tackled by Mike Smalling and preventing him from go- ing over the line. if the big fellow sn turn had not been tackled by Finn or the Thunderbolts. Noonan had cap tured a fumbled punt near the side line and either had to run out of bounds or into Smalling. He chose the latter course. as Smalling was downed by Finn The officials for some reason or other allowed the score. Again Kecko is alleged to have caught a forward pass from Noonan. after the play had gone over the line of scrim- mage. and Noonan had not run out five yards with the ball as the rules say he must. Kecko on this play brought the ball over the South Ends line for a second time The biggest crowd of the season turned out to wit ness the contest The Thunderbolts laugh at the claims of the South Ends and assert that the victory was clean cut and won on it's merits.

After fifteen minutes of the second half had been used up Quarterback Hotchkiss of the Edgewoods after playing the style of game which wore out the stability of the Mohicans. was substituted by Cliff Thomas. The Edgewoods took a brace immediately. Thomas attempted to work a few forward passes but failed An onside kick brought the ball well into the Mohican territory. but in the latters possession On the punt back, the Edgewoods brought the ball to the center of the field. From this point it was a grand procession of gains by Blake. Casey, Hassett. Griffin and KIein all on straight line bucking.

GIRL WITH LOST
 MEMORY IS KNOWN

IDENTIFIED AT THE NEW HAVEN HOSPITAL BY HER AUNT. MRS
 PATRICK O'CONNELL
 New Haven, Aug. s1s.-The sequel to the mystery attaching to -he commit ments-to the New Haven hospital of Mise@Annie O'Connell, the 20-year-old woman with a lapse of memory, is pretty well explained by her identih- O'Connell of 52S East street, late in the afternoon yesterday.
 Mrs. OConnell saw the account of the case which seemed to parallel that of Charles Won der Ostens at Grace hospital, and concluding that the patti ent was her niece, Annie OConnell, whom she was expecting to arrive from New York, she went to the hos pita7 last night and identified the girl.
 Mss O'Connell is still held in the hospital as an unexplained case. She is still unable to talk commercially and although she has improved somewhat she is unable to give any account of herself. It was stated at the hospital last night that she had not improved That while she took cognizance of a letter from her home in Ireland which was read to her from her aunt, yet she manifested no interest in her condition Mrs. OConnen said that the girl was her niece and that she came to this country from Ireland, as she had man. aged to tell. last March. She came to MIS- OrCOnnelS s nome ana rom there she took service in the family of Mrs. Emily Davis, the wife of an officer connected with the National Folding Box and Paper Co, living on Brownell street.
 Some months ago. MT. Davis was transferred to New York by his firm, and the Davises wished to- have the O'ConneI girl go with them. They took up their residence at 2246 Claren- don road. Flatbush. Brooklyn, with the understanding that if the girl became homesick Mrs Davis would send her back to the O'Connell family in this city.
 The girl finally became sick and Mrs. Davis put her on the train in New York at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, sending a letter meantime. which let ter failed to reach Mrs. O,Connen.
 Mrs. O'Connell said last night that while the doctors had diagnosed the case as one of, catalepsy. and that there was no telling when she would recover her loss of memory, yet she felt that the main trouble with her niece came from the effects of heat and from hoInesickness.
 She believed that the girl. would be able to return to her within a short time.

 Acting under court orders, the Sher- if and his deputies yesterday after noon began the work of conveying the goods from the strikers homes to the streetsstreets. The Sheriff asked the Pressed Steel Car Company to give him men to carry out the furniture and household effects, but the conn parfy, it is said, refused. 3
 Then I will not allow my deputies to carry out another piece of furni- ture,' declared the Sheriff. He then formally and verbally turned over to the Superintendent of the car. plant possession of the houses. The Pressed Steel Car Company will now be forced to carry out it's own evictions.
 IHEthe Schoenville strike zone yes terday, Major Smith, a negro, accused of being employed at the car plant as a strike breaker, shot and killed Ste- ven Horvat, one of the striking work men.
