WoLeAsT NOW MANAGER.
Buys the Only Vaudeville Theater in
His Home Town of Cadillac.

Cadillac, Mich. June 30.-Ad VOL
CAST, lightweight champion of the
world, has made n start toward gath
.ering fame and the sheckels in an
other direction. Today he became
the owner of the only vaudeville house
i'm the city. II is his intention to give
the city the best line of vaudeville II
has ever witnessed. He is later on
going to secure enough houses in
northern and central Michigan to
form complete circuit of his own. At
present he is negotiating for several
places among them being Petoskey
and Charlevoix.
Because of pressing business Ad
will not go to Reno to see the Jeffries-
Johnson fight. He firmly believes the
colored champion will be defeated by
the brawny Jeffries In a very few
rounds.
1t will be n great fight he says but
he believes the shortness of it will be
surprise to many of the critics who
are doping IL to go twenty rounds.

KEEN RIVALRY IN
NATIONAL LEAGUE
RACE FOR REMNANT EVEN
WARMER THAN IN JoHNSoN'S
CIRCUIT. CLUBS SHOW RE-
vERSAL OF FORM.

The startling reversals OF form
shown by the various clubs in the Ma
tional league this year have attracted
greater attention to the older major
league than is manifested in the
American.
Last year the wise ones said Frank
Chances one time world heaters were
on the decline and that in 1910 his
club would be "A second division one
Things are just the opposite, however,
this season, for the Cubs are playing
the same game that made them
worlds champions.
The return of Johnny King made
some difference to the Cubs, as good
catcher is the keystone which holds
an inheld together. The Cubs missed
him sorely last year, even though they
had cracking good man i'm Archer
and another good one in Moran. King
is back on the job again. certainly no
better for his layoff but i'm short time
he will begin to show his regular gait,
and the inside ball" OF the Cubs Will
begin to break up games just as II did
the three years preceding the Piratical
outbreak.
Three teams stand out prominently
i'm the advance of the year Perhaps
the greatest surprise was sprung by
the st. Louis Cardinals. With n team
OF players practically east off by Gin
cinnati the manager is getting great
nh oil hn N
chasers. The Cardinals are hitting the
ball hard, and their pitchers are doing
splendid work.
Bill Dahlen's Trolley Dodgers are
next I'm order of surprises. who would
ever have believed that the Brooklyn
from Pittsburg? Yet that is what
Dahlen's men did The Infants, with
several castoffs from Chicago, are win
ming games as If they didn't know how
to lose. Dahlen has certainly worked
wonders with the team.
Grlffith's Reds are bound to figure
well up in the race If their pitchers
ever ruond into shape. With six play
ers hitting .275 or better and three of
them above the 300 mark the Cincin-
natis are bound to win a lot of games.
Griflth's pitching staff. of which great
things have been expected, seems to
have been shot to pieces. but if 1t ever
rounds into shape the Reds are going
to figure as pennant possibilities.
The slump of the Pirates has been
n big surprise. Fred Clarke seems 70
have pitching trouble too.
Horace Fogel. the new president of
the Philadelphia club. is having great
trouble with his players, whom he ac-
cuses of laying down" He has plas-
tered big fines on number of them.
but II is doubtful IL that kind of rem
edy will make the Quallers figure In
the race very strongly.

SPEND SMALL FORTUNE TO
SECURE PITCHER BENTON

Rube Benton, the Macon (south At
lantic leaguc) pitcher, the most talked
about young goxman in the game,
whose release was purchased last sat
urday by President Hermann Of the
Cincinnati club. on the Recommended
ton Of Blddy McPhoe, the old time
star second baseman, who is the new
head of the Reds scouting staff. comes
out Of the same country where Nap
Rucker and Bugs Raymond gained
their early fame I'm balloon. Benton's
release cost around $1,000. Both Presi-
dent Ethridge OF the Macon club and
McPhee admit that II was not less
than $4,000 or more than $500.
Benton has created record for
strikeouts and hits In the South At
lantic league. The style Of Bentons
delivery is radically different from
most pitchers. At an extreme angle,
slanting from the left, Benton Is ca
pable Of sending an assortment which
puzzles the best sluggers, so writes a
Macon scribe
Benton's first debut in professional
ball was with South Florida team
last year, but his greatest record has
been during this season. Being only
boy. not yet having reached his ma
jority, IL is predicted that Benton Will
be the sensation OF the National league
when he becomes seasoned.

Rube WaddelI to go Back to Columbus

picturesque and ungovernable twirler
on the staff of the st. Louis Browns,
Is booked 10 go to Columbus of the
American Association. That is If the

There Is no doubt that waivers could

so IL would be up To the American
Association team i'm Columbus to de-
termine whether he might wear one
of its uniforms.
1t was i'm Columbus that Waddell
started out I'm his professional ball
career many years ago, and where he
pitched remarkably effective ball.

he was I'm the box on many occasions

be when he finds himself on the last
rung of the ladder, fall from which
means his eternal Punishment from

seems to be the only career open to
him, as he was utterly ignored when

HOuDON AT WORK.

That the Houdon statue of General
George Washington, bronze replica
OF which was presented to the govern
ment OF France by Virginia, is indeed,
a most striking likeness Of the great
commander, was verified by DR.. B. j.
Cigrand, OF Chicago, during recent
trip to Paris. In the French capital
the doctor discovered a painting, a copy
Of which was never before published
showing the sculptor Jeane Antoine
HoudOn ut work on the model of the
features of Washington while the sub
iect sat for him in his Mount Vernon
home.
Dr. Cigrand, who is historian and
an expert IN heraldry, said of the events
leading up to the completion OF the
statue after the Virginia legislature or
dered it: At first it was decided to
have the work done in Paris, the sculp
tor to use paintings OF Washington as
his model. But Houdon, who was by
far the most skilled artist in Paris per
suaded Jefferson and Franklin to in
crease the appropriation and allow hin
to cross the Atlantic and make a model
OF the face Of the subject.
ION his return TO America, " said
DR.. Cigrand, Franklin wrote letter
of introduction to Washington, who
Immediately responded as follows: ii

you to this seat Of my retirement; anC

pI,rhf of a Rridegroom.

New York, Sept 10.-His income
Of $4,000 n year transferred to tie
woman he married, who now offers
him $40 a year OF it 10 defray his
personal expenses, Robert w. Chan
Ter. grandson of John Jacob Aston,
politician, society man and artist, Is
today hiding from his friends, a brOk-
en-. respondent man, his dream OF
romance utterly ruined. In Paris his
bride OF two months, the fascinating
opera singer, Lima Cavalier, from
whom his friends say he is parted for
ever. is accepting the attentions OF the
set in which she formerly moved, while
secure in her strong box are the papers
she forced Chanler to sign before she
would marry him, in which he trans
ferred the bulk of his fortune.
New York intimates of young Chan
Ter. members of the ultra fashionable
set, are aghast over.the stories from
Paris. telling of the manner in which
he was hoodwinked by the opera singer
who has been characterized at the
"most beautiful woman i'll the world. "
Those who are telling stories of the dis
tractcd man since he landed here, fear
that his mind will be affected by the
affair and those to whom be has con-
lided his story. are carefully guarding
him from newspapermen and inter
viewers.
CHAMBER courted Lima Cavalieri for
twelve months, and his courtsbip WAS
the most spectacular ever seen along
Broadway, where the love affairs OF
milIionaircs and chorus girls are hardly
evera matter Of much comment. Chan
Ter met herlast spring, just before the
close of her opera season. From that
moment she was the one woman" for
him. Night and day he was constant
" at her side. He Iayished gifts and
flowers on her, took her 10 breakfast,
driving in the park behind his fast
horses. accompanied her to the theatre
where she sang, while he sat in the box
and east soulful eyes upon her. After
the performance, he and his cOmpan-
ions OF The set called Bohemian"
dined at the Broadway cafes with the
diva rs the guest Of honor.
Cavalier all this time had another
string to her bow, Dolgorouki, a
Russian prince, blood relative to the
car and enormously wealthy. That he
could not marry her was not known to
CHAMBER, and il was his lack of .knOwl-
edge Of Russian court regulations that
finally led him to hasten their marriage
Two months ago.
Three days before their marriage,
on June Is. Chanler at the demand
f his bride to be signed over his
fortune to her.
Just how valid is this transfer, is the
question bothering Chanler and his re-
latiycs today That an attempt will be
made to have it set aside is certain, and
it is generally believed that good
part Of it may be recovered.
Within a few days after their mar
riage Mrs. Chanler, it is said. told her
husband that she would allow him $50
a month spending money, but that he
must 90 to work and earn his own liv-
mo
