October

untfl Columbus day, October II.
President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn
club, has an idea that Columbus day
will eventually become big holiday
and that it should be taken advan-
tage of by the baseball clubs. This
year this theory will be given test.
The earliest date, therefore that
the worlds series can start Is Satur
day, october IA. This will be earlier
than in 1910, when the first game be-
tween the Athletics and Chicago Cubs
was played on Monday, October Il.
The schedule of games will depend
entirely upon what teams will meet.
l1f New York wins the National
League pennant, it is expected that tho
scheme used in 1906 wilt again be
followed. Then the Athletics were
given the opening game at Columbia
park with the understanding that the
Saturday game should be played in
New York. Otherwise the teams
were to play alternately in the diff
Iferent cities.
If these clubs again meet this fall
I "OuIu llOL DC Sul ~ AoAlAE9 a. -
agreed to start the series in New
York on Saturday, October IA. 1t is
claimed that the Polo grounds there
will seat four persons to every three
that Shibe park will accommodates
In addition, owing to the immense
size of the grand stand there this
gate receipts will be considerably
larger than in this city.
If Chicago is the opponent of the
Athletics, the latter can easily get to.
the Windy City in time to have the
opening game on Saturday, October
IA. In that case, the teams would be
scheduled to meet there again on
Sunday, October Is. Then they would
come East for games on Tuesday, Oc-
tober II, and Wednesday, october is.
In consideration of the Cubs getting
the first two games at home, it is an
ticipated that the fifth, as we'll as the
third and fourth contests, would be
held at Shibe Park. Then, If neces-
sary, the team would go back to Chi
cago.
Should Pittsburg land the honor OF
playing the White Elephants. it is ex-
pected that two games will be played 4
in one city and then two in the other.
The selection of the park for the open
ng pair being by the toss Of coin.
After that the games would alternate
between the two cities with the place
,or the seventh contest, If necessary,
decided by the toss Of coin, as was
the case in the fredericksburg SEE
ries in 1908. S.

The holiday hostesses have much to overcome in the damp weather which has been their portion. The Birmingham woman is fast learning to make the pest of conditions, such as .have prevailed the mast few days, so one finds that the ma iority brave the elements, leaving French plumes and maline choux at home, if there is any fear of detriment to their frothy prettiness, going forth in tailored gown and bonnet. to enjoy both English lea and conversation. So Mrs. Nelson Snow introduced her guests to num- her of attractive matrons and girls yes terday. Her house was all the brighter and more festive through contrast to the dismal and persistent shower; her own smiles and those of her guest the bright CT in comparison to the frowns of stormy skies Miss Gillett is an unusually charm ing young woman.
 Holly, mistletoe and poinsettia graced every room with retrospect of Christ mas. In the reception hall Miss Desiree Burns received the visiting cards. Here Mrs C. F. Bigsby and Miss Mary Cam eron welcomed the guests, Mrs Bigsby very attractive in white marquisette over satin; Miss Cameron in pink,

It Is needlesssto say that Mir Robinson planned and had print ed the programmes which also contained the menu interspersed with amusing drawings. The table was arranged In the shape of horseshoe in the marble ballroom, at one end of which there was a stage with all the accessories or the theatre. The guests numbered 60 and the decorations were American Beauty roses.

There were many assemblages of kinspeople who cele- brate the day in old time fashion ana in the homes of some of the first set lers and people of large family con- nections, as many as 20 or 30 sat down to dinner The clubs were en fete-- the Country club anticipating, ofcourse, in the dinner dance and Christmas tree Saturday evening and the musicale Sun day afternoon; the Southern, as usual with its Christmas morning german

 It Is known that the founders of the New theatre have offered the active di- rectorship to Augustus Thomas, and that MT Thomas has refused it. In the event of MT. Thomas refusal proving irrevoc- able, either Mrs. Ffske or MT. Skinner will be importuned to accept the task.
 As means of paying a wager. William Collier rendered a supper at the Friars' club to George M. Conan and Sam H. Harris. During the worlds championship series Collier bet 5000 with Conan & Har- ris on the Giants. Upon his arrival in New York the other day he sent his check for the amount to the firm, and the following day it was returned to him torn in bits.
 No amount of argument could induce Conan & Harris to accept the check-the first instance, by the way, of theatrical manager refusing money-and Collier hit upon the plan of giving the supper in or der to discharge the indebtedness.
 The invitations took novel form. They read
 Dear Friend: I am going to expose (here follow pictures of Messrs. Conan and Harris), and that this may be accom- plished in a gentiemanly, club like man. ner, 1 am giving a private supper to them at the Friars clubs, Monday evening, at Il 80 o'clock. Will you do me the honor to be my guest on this occasion. and come prepared to assist in the joyful pastime of making these two young men sit up and take notice? Yours very sincerely, (Here follows a picture of MT. Collier)."
 When the engagement of "The Pink Lady at the New Amsterdam theatre came to full stop, it had recorded a run which is not likely to be equaled for many seasons to come. In the course of the S16 performances 537,293 persons paid to look on.
 During the greater part of the engage ment the receipts were enormous, and even during the hottest weeks of July they never fell below a dividend declar- ing basis. For many weeks they exceed ed $20000, and the receipts for the final week were great enough to satisfy the average producer of musical comedy in the midst of a prosperous run.
 Miss Lily Elsie. in an interesting ac- count of her stage career, explains the origin of the famous Merry Widow waltz. 'The waltz" says Miss Elsie, 'as it was danced at Daly's. was quite differ ent from the continental version. And the position which proved so popular was the result of an accident. One day. after long rehearsal, when we were all dead tired and extremely irritable, we were told to go through the waltz again. Feel ing desperate, Mir Coyne and I stood up. Suddenly without a word of warning, he seized me violently. grabbing my hand and glarng down at me as much as to say, Come along, for heavens sake. and let's get it over The novel position and our combined ferceness so appealed to the producers that we were told to repeat it hencefo,th. That is how the English Merry Widow waltz was invented"
