Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1911-11-16

When one stops to consider the
worlds famous artists who will be
heard at the Wheaton Theatre on
Tuesday evening, November 81,
when the Sheehan English Opera
Company will present the great COM
ic opera success "The Love Tales
of Hoffman," there is little won
der that orders are pouring in from
the entire surrounding country and
all indications point to the largest
attendance which the Wheaton The
atre has had for a long time.
1.-The Love Tales of Hoffman,"
for the past few years has been the
musical sensation of the opera go
ing public in Europe and America,
and Mr.. Sheehan was quick to take
advantage of its vogue to present it
in English to his admirers. 1t offers
splendid opportunity to a tenor and
the score gives him plenty OF SOLOS
as well as providing star parts for
other members of the cast. The
Love Tales of Hoffman," is staged
in a prologue, three acts and an
epilogue. The first scene introduces
the dissipated young poet, HOFFMAN,,
in the midst of revelry in a tavern.
To give fresh impetus to the gaiety
someone suggests that Hoffman, tell
his companions about his love affairs,
to which the poet consents. The fol-
lowing three acts depict his three
love affairs. The first scene shows
Olympia, a mechanical doll with
whom the poet falls in love, believ-
ing her to be a living, lovely woman.
Miss Gladys Caldwells Interpretation
of Olympia, the mechanical doll is
simply wonderful. 1t must be seen
to be appreciated. The second act
shows a moonlight scene in Venice
where a gay beauty, Julietta, to win
a wager from one OF her suitors, lays
siege to Hoffmann's heart and when
the poets devotion is laid at her |
feet she spurns him and goes away |
with another gallant. Disguised with
his experiences Hoffman, returns to |
Munich where he meets great sing
err to whose charm of voice and per
son he capitulates. The singer falls |
victim to consumption and is order
ed never to sing In the hope OF pro-
longing her life. A sinister Mephis-
TO like person, however, compels her
TO break her silence and the shock
kills her. The three tales ended,
the scene returns to the wine eel
ar. showing the poet drinking more
deeply than ever to drown his mem
prizes. AS the curtain descends the
Muse of Poetry appears and tells
Hoffmann that all earthly love must
cease and bids him to devote his fu-
.ure life to becoming great poet.

MerkIe Figures
 Giants Will Win
Says New York Will Beat Athletics For Worlds
 Championship Title

Toledo, O.. Sept. es-"It would take one of the greata Et upheavals ever known among pehhant chasing clubs in baseball to keep the New Yorks out of the premier honors this season. said Fred Merkle, the Toledo member of the Giants team, who paid a visit here early yesterday.
 Just say hat McGraw is going to cop the bunting in cantering fin- ish. Furthermore, the Giants are go- far from being the real invincible sage of the game.
 'He is going to tackle an altogether different machine this year than he did with the Cubs last year, and it will be the greatest series of battles the baseball world has seen in ages
 Continuing Merkle said: "The open ing game of the worlds championship battle will likely be played in New York, and if the invaders can beat us on our own grounds it will be one of the stupendous surprises of the coun- try. Either Mathewson or Marquard d will probably pitch the. opening strug- gle In their present form it is hard to conceive how the Athletics are go- ing. to place the ball out of the reach of the fielders. Of course, the players do not underestimate the Mack men, and, the series will be the closest fought in years. But of course the bunting is not entirely cinched Mi racles don't happen nowadays in base ball, and We expect to have every thing smooth and rosy before the ser- ies with Chicago ends.''
 Merkle stopped off to visit his folks for few hours and then joined the Giants in Chicago.

BUNNY FORD PUTS JOE
 GRIM AWAY IN SECOND

Meriden. Sept. 29-A three bout card here last night furnished some fighting of the whirlwind type at the state armory. the best bout of the, ev- ening being between Tommy Shea, of New Haven, and Kid Welsh, also of New Haven. It was one of the fastest battles seen by ring fans here in years. Shea decisively out-pointed Welsh despite the fact that Welsh Out-weighed him by twenty pounds. Bunny Ford made chopping block Of Joe Grim, of Philadelphia, knock ing him out in the second round Ford was scheduled to box with Young Sharkey, of New York, but the lat ter was unable to show up, owing to a broken arm.
 Grim of Philadelphia looked like a heavy hitter with a big battling aver age when he jumped into the squared circle. Ford was in splendid condi- tion and in a few seconds had sized up his opponent The New Haven boy opened strongly, playing for the body. Grim's body had the general appearance of a piece of raw beef steak after the fight. He was plucky and fought it out in the first frame. He was worn out when the bell rang.
 With renewed energy the Philadel- phian waded in at the second but was blocked well. Ford again played for the body. weakening his man. Sud- denly he stepped back and, having drawn his man to him, sent out a terrible right to the point of the jaw. The crack sounded like the snap of a whip. Grim went down on his back and rolled over On his stomach.

Worlds Series
 Start October
 I3 In New York
National Commission Takes no Chances and is Arranging
 Games in Chicago, Too

Cincinnati. Ohio. Sept. 29-The Ma tional Baseball Commission, is going to take no chances in preparing the schedule for the worlds series. AL though the New York Giants seem to have every chance to secure the pen nant, the off chance of the Chicago squad copping first honors has caused the commission to prepare two sched- ules, which will be announced at a meeting here today.
 y The series will commence on Octo- Der 13. and the Philadelphia-New York schedule will call for game in each city every other day. The Chicago Philadelphia schedule will be very similar to that arranged for these teams last season. Although it has been reported that the Philadelphia club has agreed to play the opening game of the series in New York, the commission late last night has not been notified, and it is regarded hard ly likely that Connie Mack will jeop- ardize his teams chances by consent ing to opening the season in New York. The commission will decide in which city the opening contest will be played by the toss of a coin.
 The headquarters of the National Commission during the series will be in New York. All the National Com mission business will be transacted in the metropolis unless Chicago noses out the Giants.

WOODCHOPPER SHOWS
 EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH
Albert Gravel, French Canadian, Astonishes Norwich People
 by His Lifting Ability
fNorwich Bulletin.)

Albert Gravel, the little French Canadian woodchopper, who arrived here the other day and challenged any man not weighing more than 13o pounds to weight a lifting contest, gave a remarkable exhibition of his powers on Wednesday evening in Teo- del Hickey's place, in Water street, which would indicate that any man of his weight would have to show some thing to be called in his class. Gravel weighs PA pounds.
 For his weight lifting feats, Gravel put up regulation dumbbells of S4, 99 and 109 pounds with the greatest ease, one handed, and then went on to some combination work to show some thing classy. Putting up the 109 pound weight with his right hand and holding it there, he showed up 40 lb. weight with his left hand half a dozen times. Sitting in a chair, he puts up the 109 pounder with his right hand. picks up the 40 pounder with his left and puts it on top of the other, and then rises to a standing position as he shoves the 149 pounds above his he'd.
 A favorite feat is with a living sub 5ect. He took a 155 pound man by the waistband of his trousers and put him up to armslength with one hand.
 Norwich men who have seen Gravel perform are ready to give him plenty of backing, they say, for a match with any man of his weight, or within a few pounds of sit, and he is willing to meet the Moosup man who recently challenged him through The Bulletin.

Parker being the aggres- sor in five of the seven rounds. In the seventh. Andy rushed to the center of the ring and planted a swift left to the stomach. Heavy work to the body staggered Savage Parker followed up with drives to the face. A hard right to the jaw sent Savage to the floor and he failed to come up again.

Giants Defeats In Chicago Don't
 Discourage Fans
McGraw's Men Must Win Seven of the Remaining 12 Games
 to Cop Flag
Special to The Farmer,

New York, Sept. 29-The weakheart- ed among the New York fans are thankful. today. that the Giants swept into Chicago with the lead they did. They are Respondent over two defeats administered by the Cubs to their favorites, But the dyed-in-the- wool enthusiasts are just as sure as ever that the flag will be unfurled from the staff on the Polo Grounds. They have banked on just such set- backs as have befallen the Giants the last two days. The defeats have been discouraging but they feel that the clinching of the pennant has only been put off for few days.
 Even conceding the Cubs victory in the two remaining games with the Giants and the rest of the games they have to play, McGraw's men can win out by seven victories in their 12 games. To win half of them would tie the two teams in the race. An even break in the unfinished Cubs series and the Giants need but five victories. The teams stand today: Team To Play Won Lost PC Giants l4 90 50 .643 Cubs S7 5S 500
 And today is a day of rest for the fans, dopesters, etc. The teams do not play until tomorrow.

McInnis May Not
 Face The Giants
Athletics Star First, Sacker Believed to Have Broken
 Bone in Wrist


 Philadelphia. Sept. 29-Jack McInnis, the sensational little first baseman of the Athletics. may not play in the coming worlds series. 1t is believed that .McInnis suffered broken bone in his right wrist Monday in the game between the Athletics and De- troit, when he was struck by a pitch ed ball when facing George Mullin. McInnis was forced to retire from the game and has not been in a uni- form since.
 McInnis will go to the University of Pennsylvania tomorrow, where spe- cialists will subject his injured arm to an X-ray examination to determine the extent of the injury. It was at first thought that McInnis's arm was only bruised, but since Monday a painful swelling has developed, and while his arm is not in a "sling" it is useless for ball playing purposes.

StoyaII Hopes To
 Lead Washington
Manager of Cleveland Club Will Boss Nationals in Season
 of 1912

George Stovall is the latest player to have his name connected with the future rnanagership of the Washington Nationals. who will need new leader when Manager McAleer quits the team to assume part control of the Red Sox, recently purchased by himself and McRoy of Chicago.
 A despatch from Washington says that George Stovall, temporary man. ager of the Cleveland team, has en- tered into negotiations with President Moves of the Washington club to man. age the Nationals next year. Moves. the special says, announces that Sto- wall is to be succeeded by Harry Da- vis.1 captain of the Athletics as man. ager of the Cleveland team. Somers, who owns the Cleveland club, is re- ported. to have given Stovall permis- sion to enter into negotiations with Moves. 1t is also announced that Somers has secured Davis to manage his team next year.
 Some weeks ago it was reported that Davis would leave the Athletics next season to become the Maps IAader. Somers, it is said, has great faith in Davis's ability and is more than an- xious to have the Athletic as his man. ager. If it is true that Davis is to manage the Maps the change of man. agement will be a severe blow to Cleveland fans who wanted Somers to give Stovail another chance. Ac- cording to the rooters in the Forest City, Stovall has made good this year and is a deserving manager. They put Cleveland's success this year up to Stovall Recently they petitioned President Somers to retain the player manager.
 The Nationals could make good use of Stovall, as he is a playing manag- CT He would not only strengthen the Washington team but he would be good man for the arduous task of try ing to pull the Capital city team out of the rut which it has occupied for many years.

RIGHT OVER THE HOME PLATE

has not finished in the lead within the last two years, he has always been up there fighting and that is all the fans can reasonably ask. Freddy Gibbs and Louie Litschi of the Mechanics who went on the Cub an trip with Scx Waterman's team, have sent wireless messages to their friends from the steamer Vigilincia. They haven't missed meal, so they say.
 It was Tinker-the same Tinker that Chance suspended for indifferent playing laced out the double that put the game on ice for the Cubs and started nervous chiIls playing
 Had some of the Cub twirlers pitched half as we'll in midsummer as they are now when it is cold and wet and bleak. they probably would have drawn down a percentage of the worlds series money.
 "Stuffy' McInnis, Meck's slugging first baseman was hit on the fin by Pitcher Mullin of the Tigers and may be unable to participate in the worlds series. His arm is to be x-Rayed.
 Bad Bill Dahlen kept it up, Brook lyn defeating the Cardinals to 4. BreSnahan tried to use a number of recruits and it didn't improve his club standing any.
 Walter Johnson and Somers engaged in real twirling duel with honors even, but Gainors inexcusable error permitted the Senators to slip over the winning run, the Tigers losing by ? to l.
 Reference to the IS to F victory of the Yankees over the St. Louis Browns would be to add 1evity to a column otherwise sad and sedate. That's the reason it is omitted.

HARVARD FEARS BATES
 ON TRICK FORMATIONS
Coach Haughton Wants Crimson to Run up Big Score To-
 morrow
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 29.-Coach Haughton and Captain Fisher devot- ed all their efforts, during today's s practice on Soldiers Field to instruc- tions in signal work and very light scrimmage. Today was the first day of secret practice the Harvard eleven has held. Several new plays were gone through by Coach Haughton, merely to acquaint the men with them, so that they can be ready the first thing, next week to take them up more in detail. Harvard is not holding Bates too lightly for Satur- days game.
 "Of course,' said Coach Haughton. today, to a United Press reporter, .the crimson will win. But what we want to do is the run up the biggest kind of score and keep that usually tricky Bates eleven from pulling off some trick play for touchdown or even a long run. Frankly, I don't think Bates will make first down, but we want to be safe.''

WHY GOV. WILSON LEFT BAR Says He Couldn't Be an Honest Law yer and Politician at the
 Same Time.

From my boyhood,' said Woodrow Wilson to Isaac F. Marcossan, who tells in Munsey's for October of his interview with New Jerseys militant Governor, 'I have aimed at political life The reason I studied law was because, when I was a boy in the South, the law furnished, the shortest path to public life. I gave it up, la- ter because I found l could not be an honest lawyer and a politician at the same time. At least, I did not know how to then. I tried the next best thing, which was studying politics. I went back to school, where I un- dertook to learn something of the facts of government. People think I was born a scholar; as a matter of fact, I was born a man of affairs"

Welsh looking
 For Scraps With
 Eastern Fighters
Enplishman Will Take on Attell, WoIgast or Brown For
 Ten Rounds

' "pm here looking for a scrap with any of the star nghtweights+WeHs, Attell. Wolgast and Brown. All look easy to me in a ten-round bout" said Freddie. Welsh in New York, last night.
 ssYou know I have match on with Wolgast for Thanksgiving Day at Tom MCarey's arena in Los Angeles, but if he wants to box me here first III be more than, willing to accommo- date him.
 "As for Wells, how he beat me for the English championship has always teen a mystery to me. The only ex- cuse that I have been able to make to myself for that sorry day IS that ] was none too careful in my training. It's a mistake most champions make at some stage in theV careers. I'd like nothing better than to get anotper crack at him. It would be a dinerent tale.
 'On the coast I had but one fight, and that was with Matty Baldwin a rough, rugged, dangerous fellow. didn't try for knockout in the fight with him because I knew could out box him and win without taking any undue chances. Time flew after that bout. I began to worry because there was no fighting in sight there for me, and wanted to get my hand 1n again. That's why I'm here.
 When I left Los Angeles Tom Mo Carey. the promoter, said he was will ing I should box as many boys as saw fit as long as I didn't take on anybody that might hurt my coming go with WoIgast. I told him would look for Attell, Wells. Brown, and 8 chance to box Wolgast ten rounds.
 Good; but don't go after any of the hard ones,' said McCarey."
 Welsh says that Kilbane's victory over Joe Rivers, the Mexican bantam weight, proved that a clever man has a good chance against a slugger. Therefore he believes he will have no trouble in winning the championship from WOlgast.
