FAMOUS ATHLETE is DEAD
Breed, Noted for Physical Perfection,
Heart Disease Victim.

Lynn, Mass, Nov. 16.-Charles
Orrin Breed of this city, formerly
worlds amateur champion strong
man. and one of the most prominent
Methodist Episcopal Iaymen in New
England, dropped dead from heart
disease yesterday.
Three years ago, Mr.. Breed was
examined by DR.. Sargent of Harvard
and pronounced to be perfect so far
as physical proportions we're con-
cerned.
Mr.. Breed was "a years old. As
a young men he became famous for
his extraordinary strength and trav-
eled throughout the country giving
exhibitions of muscular prowess,
meeting strong men everywhere and
never once being defeated in strength
tests.
1t is said of him that he could lift
a barrel of flour and hold it at arms
length above his head.

LAKE FOREST is
CHAMP OF 2 STATES
Defeats BeIoit and Claims Minor Col
Iege HonOrs in Illinois and
Wisconsin.

Beloit. Wis, Nov. 6.-Fumbling
on punts defeated Beloit and gave
Lake Forest the championship of
Wisconsin and Illinois yesterday. the
Illinois college winning, / g TO s.
Lake Forest worked the onside kick
to perfection, it. being responsible
for the two toUchdOwns. Two drop
kicks, one from the 45-yard line and
one from the 20-yard line, netted the
rest of Lake Forests points.
Beloit did its best work on for
ward passes. After Lake Forest had
obtained a big lead the Line City
team used the open style of play al
most entirely and forced the ball
within a few yards of the goal line,
only to lose the ball.
Rowell kicked a goal for Beloit in
the first quarter and two forward
passes netted them their lone touch
down.

MAUDE ADAMS AS "MAGGII
WI IEU

Maggie Wylie,- the little Scotch wife
in What Every Woman Knows" the
new Barrie comedy in which Maude
Adams is to be seen at the Grand next
Saturday, typifies the strongest traits
OF womanhoOd, her conduct being a
complete gospel on the meaning of
wifehood. Yet the'truth of it all comes
out like those wonderful observa tons
of childhood, which are encountered
occasionally. There is such an utter
lack of preachiness that a good many
thoughtless people may find no uplift.
ing in the working out of the story,
but only a merriment that is quaint,
whimsical and entertaining. 1t is the
supreme artistry of Barrie that com
passes so much of breadth and depth
without seeming to get below the sur
face of things. But the thing that ev-
cry woman knows is clearly that her
greatest opportunities in life is to sup
ply intuitions and tact to characters
where those qualities have been crowd
ed out by harder virtues. 1t may
seem an old-fashioned doctrine. but
when it is set forth by the foremost of
British authors of comedy through the
medium of an art like Miss Adams,
one realizes that it is neither old-fash-
toned nor of any fashion, but just an
unalterable fact. The story is one
that is brimful of human nature. In
the company that is to be seen sur
rounding Miss Adams are Arthur By
ron, Lumsden Hare, r. PeytOn Carter,
David Terrence. Fred Tyler, w. II.
Gilmore, Wallace Jackson, J. i. Car
hart. Miss Dorothy DOrr, Miss Lillian
Waldegrave and Miss Lillian Spencer.

THREE-EYELETS

Pitcher Joe Cook, bought by the
Cubs from Peoria, has signed a Chi
cago contract.
Ted Price, who played at one time
with Bloomington and last season
managed Kewanee after Bill Conners
was fired, has resigned from his job
and says he will quit baseball.
Stub Hauser, the former Dubuque
shortstop, has signed a new contract
with the St. Louis Cardinals at twice
the salary he got last season. He
will also get a nice bonus if he bats
better than .240.
The Dubuque Telegraph Herald sug-
gests that inasmuch as the practice of
electing league presidents for terms of
five years has been inaugurated by the
Western that the Three-Eye give Dick
kinsella the job for life, and go them
one better.
Medric Boucher, who has been play
ing with the Three-Eye since Rock Is
land secured him from St Louis in
1908, is to go with Bob Connery to
the Hartford team in the Connecticut
league next season, according to re-
ports from ST. Louis.
After a good deal OF bluffing on
both sides the Job of managing Keo-
kuk has finally been again placed IN
the hands of Frank Belt, who has han
died the team for three years. Belt
has been in baseball q years, having
played with Bloomington when that
city won the Three-Eye pennant back
in ancient times.

1.-THE TROUBLE MAKERS"

E. D. Stair will present his happy
musical conceit, The Trouble Max
ers" with the co-stars, Ward & Vokes,
at the Illinois, Friday night. AS the
locale of the story is laid in a small
village near New York, it must natur-
ally follow that the stage picture must
reproduce the locality with eXactness.
The theme of the play deals with the
present day suffragette movement,
therefore it is necessary that the play
ers portray people of this character.
Ward & Voles, as Percy and Harold,
drift into this village. which is gov
erned by female suffragettes, and af-
ter Disgusting themselves as females,
mingle among them. Complications
start at once and the way they crawl
out of difficulties is ludiCrous. Dur
ing the entire play the fun is fast and

ing which they may become second
class scouts. These include instruc-
ton in first aid to the injured. ban
daging. life saving, building a
campfire and cooking simple kinds
of food, tracking animals and other
wise developing powers of observa-
ton and in such nature study and
voodcraft as the boys choose to take
up. 1t will readily be understood
that there is absolutely nothing OBJ
jeCtfonable in any part of it. If
anyone can find anything in the
work being done by the scouts To-
Cally or elsewhere that has any
thing to do with militarism or war
fare, it is hard to see where he will
find it. Boys who want to become
scouts may start at any time, under
the master whom they choose to fol-
low and may take up the sort of out
door studies that appeal to them.

manual and learn the things they
must know before enrolling Then
they should apply to the scoutmaster
in their part of the city, who will
administer the oath and enroll them
and advise them as to the lines of
work to follow. In case any group
finds difficulty in getting attached

Mr.. Smedley at the Y NJ. C. A or
to Mr.. Walsh at the high school,

get in touch with one of the mas
tiers.
