ORPHEUM BILL SCORES
HIT WITH YOUNGSTERS
George Auger in Jack the Giant
Killer Is a Rare Treat
for Children

Although it's children's week at the
Orpheum the one act which scored the
hit yesterday, and which Is by far the
best on the bill, is one which receives
its applause from adults. This act Is
billed as the Jack Artois duo, comedy
bar gynnasts. Mainly because the act
is artistic in every detail and because
the comedy pantomime Is Of nature
which compels laughter and applause
is the turn the best of the bill. Under
the guise of clown1ng one of the gym
nasts performs some wonderful mus
cular tricks. There is no room Tor ar
gument about the gymnastic ability OF
the other member of the team. BY far
and away this act is the most ENJOY
able of its kind seen at the Orpheum
in many months.
George Auger, the tallest actor in the
world, and his company, including two
dWarfs, present Jack the Giant
Killer" q sketch based on one of the
stories of the nursery. Just about
year ago Mr.. Anger presented the
same sketch. It made big hit with
the children then and repeated 1t yes
terday. Children should find a rare
treat In this act and kris Kringle's

a stage attraction. Saturday afternoon
all the little tots will have an oppor-
tunity of meeting personally the giant,

the captain and guard of the Naval
academy team of last season, Joined
the staff of coaches at the academy
this afternoon. He is particularly
needed, as all the rest of the coaches
are either backs or ends, and his SER
vices are required to give special In
structions to the tackles, guards and
centers. The special feature of this
afternoons practice was the speedy
work of Carey. Carey, who up to this
season played at end, Is being tried at
half this year and promises to SHINE
on account of his fleetness.
The presence of former Capt. clay
on the football field at the Naval
academy this afternoon, and the news
that there was no danger that the au-
thorities would stop him from play
ing, put heart into the squad, and
there was some fast signal work, not
withstanding the heat. Dalton ana
Austin were Clay's running mates IN
the first backfield combination that
was tried, while another arrangement
was Carey and Rodes at the halves
and McCaughey at fullback. The ne
cessity of getting extra quarterbacks
to take Erwin's place should substl-
tute be needed is recognized, and NC
Reavy, a fourth class man, was rrieo
on the first team for a short time TINS
afternoon. He did well. The hrst
game of the season will be with ST.

VIGOROUS PRACTICE AT
BROWN UNIVERSITY FIELD

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. 3.-With
entrance and condition examinations
practically concluded today, the Brown
squad was increased to twenty-five
men, and vigorous practice was held
this afternoon, in spite of the rather
unreasonable warmth. The opposing
teams went into the work with plenty
of dash, and a number of plays were
tried out with the view of perfecting
the men in the operation of the new
rules. The forward pass formed a
basis for many of these, and the backs
were all exercised in its use. The sec
ond string team did not present very
effective resistance to the first choice
eleven. Staff, one of the varsity pitch
ers, Is developing well as an end, and
Ashbaugh, who was one OF the regulars
last year, is displaying marked i'm
provement in form. He will probably
be developed for the brunt of the drop
kicking this season. The first team ran
through the signals and plays in the
following lineup: Sisson, center; Corp
and Robertson, guards; Kulp and Bing-
ham, tackles; Staff and Ashbaugh,
ends; Spracklin, quarterback; Adams,
fullback; Patton and Metcalf, halfback.

SHENK ADVISES OLIVE
STREET TRACK ILLEGAL
City Attorney Recommends De-
mand for Removal of Rails, or
Request for New Franchise

City Attorney John w. Shenk will
recommend to the council today that
the Los Angeles railway be notified to
remove it's tracks. ties and rails from
Olive street, between Sixth and Sew
enth because, in his opinion, it has
no right to do this. Mr.. Shenk sug-
gests that it ask for a franchise.
A franchise on this block was held
by the Pacific Electric, or at least the
Pacific Electric seemed to think it had
a franchise on this block and no one
questioned it until Mr.. Shenk began
delVing into the matter The Pacific
Electric used the tracks in connection
with it's route down Sixth and Seventh
to Figueroa for the Glendale cars. The
Pacific Electric transferred this part
of the franchise to the Los Angeles
railway and the railway has been lay
ing tracks to make a connection for
the washington cars.
But the original franchise for this
block, as we'll as other portions was
originally granted to the Los Angeles
g. Glendale railway. The Pacific Elec-
trio was the successor in interest to
the Los Angeles & Glendale and took
over the franchise with the rest of the
outfit. But there was one clause in
the franchise that the Pacific Electric
overlooked and that was one requiring
a formal notice of any transfer of the
franchise to be duly executed and filed
with the city clerk.
Mr.. Shenk says in his report he can
find no such notice, so that the Paci-
fic Electric never had title to the fran
chise and it transferred a franchise 1t
did not own to the Los Angeles rail-
way

BUCKNELL TEAMS ENJOY
FIRST DAY OF TRAINING

LEWISBURG, Oct. 3.-Today was the
first day of training at Bucknell. Coach
Dickson gave the men a severe lecture
on the observance of the training rules.
The first scrimmage OF the season was
held this evening. Dickson has a big
task before him to develop a team
capable of going through the hard
games scheduled for the local eleven.
There are a large number of candidates
out for the team, but the most of them
are new at the game and too light for
the new game. Richardson continues
to play a good game, and will likely
make the team. Dunkle, new man at
the game and one of the strongest men
in the freshmen class, is fast learning
the game. He will make a strong bid
for one of the line positions. Austin
and Edmunston and Jordan, the Phil
adelphia boys, are making strong bids
for the team. Jordan and Edmundston
are working for positions on the ends
with Schmidt, the old Northeast Manual
player, Is playing his usual strong
game.

NORTHWESTERN SQUAD
HAS GREAT PRACTICE

CHICAGO, Oct 3.--Northwestern's
football practice was the best today It
has been this season. AS the time is
getting short before the first game,
Coach Hammett has been hurrying the
squad in team work. The first nights
practice of the season was held in the
big indoor field of the Patten gym
nasium. Much attention was also be-
slowed upon the forward pass, which
is expected to form a big part of the
offense.
Six places have been definitely filed
for Saturdays game, and 1t is likely
that several others will be decided to-
morrow night. The three backs will be

STAR ILLINOIS LINEMAN
TAKES APPENDICITIS

URBANA, Ill.,, Oct. 9.-Ed Lyons,
groomed as a star end ON Illinois this
fall, is undergoing a piece of bad luck
in the shape of a threatened attack OF

the Illini to fill his place. Just now 1t
is believed that the operation will not
be necessary, but Lyons will not be
out for several days.

UP WELL IN TRAINING

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 3.-The Ii
gers showed a good deal Of power
against a strong scrub team today
making three touchdowns. The var
sity line was changed, Ransome being
given a trial at end and Clark at CEN
ter. The scrub did not seem to be
able to Withstand the first team at
the beginning of the scrimmages, and
Eddie Hart made a rather easily
earned touchdown through their line
After this the second teams defense
stiffened and fifteen minutes of good,
fast football followed.
"Red" Sparks showed great deal
of speed on short, lodging runs with
the ball, and was the principal ground
gamer for the varsity. 1t was his
work, together with a long rum by
Pendleton, that brought the ball into
position for the second touchdown.
Ballou, the quarterback, carried 1t
through the line for the score. Pen
dleton's work at left halfback has been
the sensation so far, for If this man
once gets loose his runs are the kind
that bring the spectators to their feet

COTTON ADVANCES
TO RECORD PRICE
New York Market Continues Bull
ish Regardless of Re-
ports on Crops
tAssociated Press1


NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Although to-
days government report on the con-
dltion of the cotton crop did not fully
bear out some Of the extremely bullish
private estimates, it was bullish
enough to start an active buying
movement which advanced prices TO
a new high record for the season.
While there was tremendous realiz-
ing, the market advanced to 14.13 for
December and 14.31 for March before
there was any reaction of consequence.
Even then offers were so well abb
sorbed that after selling off some fif-
teen to twenty-five points from the top
the market again rallied. and at the
close was firm, last prices twenty to
thirty points above the closing figures
of Saturday.
For the last two or three weeks the
market has shown an advancing ten
dency based on a bullish view of crop
prospects, and 1t now appears that
some of the same bull leaders who
were prominently connected with the
movement of last season already are
accommodating large holdings in anttci-
patton of further high prices. The eff
feet of this buying had been consider
able, and before the government fig
ures were issued today December con-
tracts which had sold at 1888 cents
last month were selling at 1894 cents,
while March contracts, which had sold
at 12.89 cents, after the elimination
of the old crop bull campaign had ad-
vanced to 14.12 cents.
Late cables from Liverpool reporting
that labor troubles in the cotton mills
had not yet been settled seemed to at
tract comparatively little attention
here, although they may have prompt
ed some of the selling this afternoon.
The southern spot markets, as off,
cially reported, were unchanged to Il
cent higher, but local buyers profess
to believe that the south will be found
ready to follow the speculative ad-

called down frequently for holding and
lacks the ability to handle himself.
He is immovable on the defense. how

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 3.-Coach
Yost gave the first intimation of the
season today that veterans are not
necessarily fixtures in the varsity line
up when he removed George Lawton,
veteran lineman and fullback, from the
first squad. Lawton, in addition to be-
ing an experienced player, is valuable
kicker, but all along Yost has been
emphasizing the fact that ability and
not reputation would govern in select
ing the team.
Daniels, substitute end on last years
eleven, arrived at camp today, while
Harrington, a back field player, who
made an enviable record while playing
with Spokane high school, also is in

morrow. Nine new plays were added
to the eleven's repertoire this after

is eligible for this season; Zander, a
substitute tackle last season; Bunker,
sub halfback last season, and Bran

the ball, falling on it and running down
under punts. The practice wound up
with long run around the campus

SIGNALS IN UNIVERSITY

system is something in the nature of
a test and If it proves successful more
boxes of the same kind may be pur-

the fire commission considers anti
quated and expensive. The Cregier
system is manual while the Gamewell
