OLD SHANKS' MARE
IN POPULAR FAVOR

BALTIMORE, Md. November %
Ever since Uncle Edward Payson Wes-
ton, the grizzled veteran of the "hoofing
act" took his memorable walk from
New York to Frisco things have been
booming all over the country in the ranks
of the walking contingent. In fact, the
walk movement has been widespread,
and Baltimore has not escaped the mania
for long-distance hikes as favorite
means of exercise Many local walking
clubs have come into existence during
the last year, and altogether things are
beginning to assume a cheerful aspect
for the satellites of the walking act
That interest along this line is receiv-
ing a decided impetus here Is attested
by the fact that five members of the
Northeast Baltimore Tramp Club will
start from Baltimore at midnight
Wednesday to make record tramp to
Washington. These who will trudge over
the dust-stained roads in an effort to
lower the walking record between the
two cities are G.. William Vogel, J. NJ.
Casey. P. Jordan. H. Fibert and ].
Shaney. They will endeavor to make the
trip in seven and one-half hours. 4.
These hardy walkers have been taking
daily jaunts through the outlying dis
Wednesday night performance, and hikes
to Elicott City. Bay Shore and Back Riv-
er have been taken. in order to get the
kinks out of the leg muscles before they
point their noses toward the Capital city.
While there are many small walking
clubs in the city, still a need is felt for
large organization which has as its
sole object the promotion of an even
greater interest in walking, and that
such an organization may be effected
the members of the Northeast Baltimore
Tramp Club are anxious to enlist the at
tention of everybody at all interested in
the walk stunt, so that by cooperation
an organization Of this sort may come
into existence.

PRACTICE GAME TODAY.
Meeting of Business High and Prep
CUNTS Sign of Friendship.

The decision reached by the manage
ment of the Business High School basket
ball quint to allow it's second team to
town Props is a good sign that the local
high schools are coming around to
more friendly feeling with the embryo
collegians. The plan of mixing up the
different squads during the preliminary
training is also one that will be beneficial
in number of ways. Not only will
the playing of the Stenographers help
the Hilltoppers, but it is also likely
that the compliment will be returned
by the Blue and Gray youngsters, in
which case the high school first team
will be aided.
AS in both cases the second teams will
be matching with the first quints, these
preliminary games will in no wise inter-
fere with the championship battles which
will come off between the regulars of
the two schools later in the year. On
the contrary. the mixing of the two
squads will serve to improve the playing
of both. and the final battles will be
much faster for the advantage gained
by the working of the new plan.
Manager WurtZ of the props has his
schedule nearly completed, and will an
nounce it soon. Rumor has it that the
list of games this year is most pre-
tentious one, and that the players will
need TO improve greatly if they wish to
close the season with the majority of
the victories in the Blue and Gray col
umn. Yesterday the men went Tough
their first practice since Saturdays de-
feat, and it would be putting it easy
to say that Coach Joyce gave them all
that was coming to them. 1t is likely
that big shift will take place in the
lineup before long, unless some of those
now on the team improve in their work.
Coach Joyce is not a bit pleased over
the defeat at the hands Of the North
minister's. and he is resolved that the
final scores of future battles will show
the advantage on the side of his charges.

COMMENTS ON BIG GAMES.
Remarkable characteristics of Yale
Harvard Struggle.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. November D.
The Yale News in editorially commenting
on the result of the Yale-Harvard game
had the following:
"Of the Yale-Harvard game itself a
volume could be written. 1t was a de-
cidedly peculiar game of foot ball. That
neither side was able to score touch
down or advance the ball by straight
foot ball consistently at any time: that
Harvard gained twice as much ground as
Yale through straight foot ball tactics
vet never had the ball in it's possession
within % yards of the Yale goal line:
that the forward pass and onside kick
were not only futile but even harmful,
are all remarkable characteristics. But
these conditions by constantly forcing
both sides to punt enabled Yale to gain
through Coy's superiority over Minot in
exchange of kicks. AS factors in this
method of ground gaining the accuracy
and speed of the Yale ends may not be
neglected.
"Yale's play as team unit defies anal
ysis In turn one was delighted and dis
appointed in it. The Harvard team was
confused at times. Its plays then seemed
to lack spontaneity and force as we'll as
judgment in selection"

SOCCER TABOOED.
Georgetown Students Not Taking
to New Game as Expected.

Much disappointment is being felt
among those students of Georgetown who
are endeavoring to install soccer in place
versity 1t must be confessed that those
in favor of the new game are at present
in the minority. but still they have had
Rugby before this. Yesterday it was
known generally that there would be a
soccer ball on the varsity field, and it
was understood that a scrub contest
would be pulled off under the direction of
an old player who was familiar with the
rules, but when the time for the event
came around there were very few of the
students on hand, and no attempt was
made to hold an encounter.
1t Is likely, however, that the class
league will bring out more for the sport,
especially since there will be a regular
coach on hand to teach the tactics to the
mon. Before the formation of this league
the game Thanksgiving day between two
local Hibernian teams will also have been
played and the students will get their
first real chance of witnessing a regular
soccer battle. Whether the spirit of class
rivalry, coupled with view of the work
ings of the sport. will serve to create any
greater interest is still matter of con-
lecture and one that means a great deal
to the future of fall sport at the Hilltop
school,
1t is known that most of the antipathy
among the students to the soccer game
is caused by the fact that the general
opinion points toward big revision of
the Rugby rules. and hence the old grid
iron supporters are still living in the eX-
pectation that the reformed mode of play
ing the game will bring about its rein
statement in the curriculum of activities
of the university. Should this not prove
to be the case, soccer will have a much
better chance of becoming popular, and
especially so if the other southern schools
carry out the threat of taking ii up.
Closely connected with the abolition OF
foot ball another difficulty has arisen
among the students at Georgetown. Every
December it has been customary to elect
an assistant manager for that department
and to raise the old assistant to the man
agership. With no decision reached as to
the sport that will hold sway next fall,
the students have split up over the Ques-
ton of whether the election should take
place this December as usual, and there
promises to be considerable debate over
the subject before it is finally settled.
The compiled ton is also greater since IL
will be difficult to select man willing 20
fill an office as uncertain as the manager
ship of fall sport is at present, and at the
same time it would be folly to leave the
future of either foot ball or soccer with
out some directing head until the time
that the final decision on the subject Is
reached.

A. |, ASTE SELLS HIS
STRING OF RACERS
no16-tu.f I.

NEW YORK, November pa. l.. Aste.
known as the bootblack king has re-
tired from the turf. He will sell his
string of sixteen racers. He will retain
slight interest in racing by keeping
Gold Lady, now a brood mare. and by
sending Jacquelina. his fast FLY of last
season, to the stud.
The passing of Aste from the turf re-
moves one of the picturesque figures in
the sport The fact that his horses COM
peted against the thoroughbreds of
wealthy men of the country proved the
old saying, "All men are equal on the
turf" During his career as an owner
he had many fast horses, but his chief
prominence came through his sale OF the
two-year-old colt Nasturtium to the
late W. c. Whitney for $4,000 In Aste'
coIors Nasturtium had beaten Mr.
Whtneys great mare Blue Girl. which
brought about the sale of the colt
During the twelve or fifteen years that
Aste raced horses there were many in
cidents which cropped up that made him
play a conspicuous part. For some rea-
son or other the racing officials did not
look upon him with an altogether
friendly eye. This may have been due
to the fact that his horses sometimes
showed reversals and that he claimed
some good racers belonging to promi-
nent owners through the selling races.
The most notable horse that he obtained
in that manner was Jack Point. with
which he won the Brighton handicap.
Aste had been cutting quite wide
swath one season by purchasing many
yearlings. for which he paid big sums
This seemed to nettle the son of one OF
the magnates of the turf, and according
| to Aste he Said
How is it, Aste, you, bootback, can
afford to pay such large sums for year
| lings where other men VINO have more
| lucrative business are unable to follow
| your example,
Well was Aste's retort. Il was no
| content to remain a bootblack or keep
bootblack stands all my life. l improved
my business, minded my own business
| and paid my debts.

QUARTERBACK DIPPY.

O'Flaherty's nose was hit hard. His
law was ground into the dirt. The force
of the blow was so great that one of his
back teeth was driven out. This proba-
bly, affected his BRAIN The students claim
he was in no condition to remain in the
game after being mauled in this manner
and should have been retired from the
contest.

SOUL KISS TOMORROW


The attraction at the Auditorium
next Wednesday will be The Soul
Kiss, the novelty song success
and terpsichorean triumph. After
an entire year on Broadway, and
visits to but few of the principal
cities of the country, this much
talked of musical comedy is making
tour. of the country that will ex-
tend from coast to coast, with the
most complete organization and
scenic equipment that has visited
this section of the country in years.
The premier danseuse, Pertina,
has been acclaimed the greatest
dancer in London, Paris and Ber-
lin and the newness of her dances
will doubtless be one of the most
pleasing features of the entertain
ment. She is assisted by special
ballet of 10 of the best corphee3 to
be found in London. Besides these,
there are 30 of the handsomest
Broadway chorus girls that were
ever lured from The Great White
Way"
In reality "The Soul Kiss" might
be aptly termed "a beauty con-
gress."
Then there is the sparkling, scin-
tillating and melodious music of
Maurice Levi, and the witty, laugh
provoking comedy of Harry B..
Smith. Such a combination of
beauty, laughter and song spells
success, and the {. DIVIDED houses
that are in evidence everywhere
prove conclusively that the public
wants to be entertained.
THE Soul Kiss is the best enter
tainment for both young and old. 1t
will drive away the blues, Danish
the cares of business and cast a
glamor of happiness over all.
The seat sale opens Monday
morning, and those who intend to
join in the enjoyment of this most
lavish entertainment will do well to
secure their seats.

"Chanticler's" Queer Plot.

"Chanticler," the new drama by
the French author, Rostand. will de-
velop one of the queerest plots ever
noted nthe stage. In employing
animals as characters 1t will sur
pass Woodland" in realism. Ros-
tand at first insisted that all of the
characters. including the great Co
Quelin, should crawl on all tours.
This proved a failure at rehearsal,
and now the actors will hop along
with hands depressed, much like a
puppy standing up on its hind legs
for something to eat.
The rise of the curtain will show
barnyard. Guitry, the rooster,
is lording it over his harem of hens.
Enter fluttering, with wound in
her wing, Nine. Simone, the hen
pheasant, and flies to Chanticler
for protection. The cock Is en-
shaved.
Act 2. A wood by night. The
cock, basely deserving his hens and
his farmyard. elopes with the hen
pheasant. But the watchful owl
has his eye open, sees the guilty
pair, and thereupon matches, with
other night birds, a plot against
the cock of the walk and the CO.
respondent.
Act 3. The hen pheasant, en-
throned as Nine. Chanticler, holds
court.
The nature Of the fourth and con-
GLIDING act no one has as yet been
able to discover. All of the actors
are oathbound to secrecy.
One of the incidents which Ros-
tand considers most important and
poetic Is that in which the hen
pheasant lays eggs in the full view
of the audience. Madame Simone.
It is said, objects to this scene, and
has besought the author to omit it.,
but he has refused stubbornly. de-
