"Graustark" at the Biiou

''Graustark" comes to the Bijou this week. It is a dramatization of probably the most popular work of fiction in the last 20 years. In it George Barr McCutch- con has treated tho most romantic theme that ever inspired the pen of novelist, the love of brave. handsome, dominant American for a princess of royal blood. The story has been told before. but never with the delightful charm of Mir. Me Cutcheon's novel No heroine was ever SO fascinating as Yetive. the wilful little Princess of "Graustark'' and no hero so admirable as Grenfall Lorry, the rich young American. whose native shrewd- ness outwits foreign diplomacy and bat ters down the royal tradition of centu- lies. in the fight for the woman he loves.
 He first meets her on train as it pulls out of Denver. There Is sometthin@ rare and exquisite. but distinctly foreign in her appearance, and though a much traveled young man, he cannot quite guess her nationality. All his advances towards her or members of her party are ", ct with cold reserve. but he eventually forms her acquaintance when she Is inad- yertantly left behind at a little station in in the Alleghanies Although able to catch the train himself he remains be- hind to assist her. He wires the train to wait for them at the next station, and hiring a mountain coach, they dash wildly after the waiting train; by the time he assists her up the steps of the Pullman their friendship is cemented and the TO- nance well started

WRESTLING FANS ARE
Al r.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE fact that
Jack Curley, manager for Hacken-
schmidt, also was promoter Of the
match and secretary Of the Empire
Athletic club, has caused much unfa-
vorable comment as a result of the
fiasco. 1t is believed the farce will
put an end to the wrestling game on
a big scale for years to come in Chi
cago.
Wrestling fans put up $s7,053 to see
the affair. OF this. Gotch received
$21. 200. The clubs expenses were
$4,000. Hackenschmidt was to have
received seventy per cent of the re-

profit of s1S,616. But Hackenschmidt
received no such sum. Manager Cur
ley paid him $4,000 for his share and
$500 expense money, leaving a pro-
fit for Curley of s29.937. Curley also
received one-quarter Of the. clubs net
profits. amounting to $4.654. making
his total winnings on the match $34.-
591 and one-quarter Of the moving
picture royalties.
Curley's admission that he knew Of
Hackenschmidt's "injury" for two
weeks and did not make an effort to
postpone the match, so that the Rus
sian might recover, has left a bad
taste in the mouths of mat fans.

PIRATES REFUSE TO
DROP OUT OF RACE

Philadelphia, Sept. 7.-Pittsburgb
refuses to admit that it is out of the
race, and counts upon catching the
Giants and Cubs by a great home
stand. One of the main reasons why
the Pirates have grown confident is
that Marty O'Toole, the $22,500 beauty
has proven that he is a real wonder.
O'Toole's first performance against
the lowly Boston crew was looked up
on with doubt, as the St. Paul star
walked nine men and was aided great
ly by his support.
Smoky City fans wanted to be
shown and O'Toole did show them
that he could beat the tough clubs
just easy. and he pitched even better
ball against the Cardinals.
Bresnahan has a pretty good hitting
club, but O'Toole held them to three
hits, and to prove to the spectators
that nervousness vas responsible for
his lack of control in Boston. refused
to pass a single batter and famed
nine men.
The speciality of O'Toole in the
American association was the iron
man stunt. If O'Toole can pull that
stunt off in the big show with sue
cess, then the Pirates will appear
like real contenders. Otherwise
Clarke's band does not look capable
Of overhauling the Giants.

WILL BE HOT TIME
IN THE HUB CITY

Boston, Sept. There is going to
be a bunch of fun up in Boston when
it comes time to appoint the manag-
er for the 1912 Hub team. Johnny
King and Mike Donlin both want the
job, and it will require a little di-
plomacy On the part of the club own
ers to prevent a %squabble in the
ranks.
When King was secuSed by the
Hubites from the Cubs he put up a
kick and was finally willing to play
with the tailenders when they prom
Used to make him manager next sea-
son.
Then along comes Mike Donlin.
Mike wanted to get away from the
Giants, saying that he would rather
play on a tail-end club than sub on
a pennant winner. 1t is rumored that
Mike was throwing a bluff. and the
real aso he signed was because he
had been promised that the club
would get rid of King and make
Mike the manager next season.
1t is claimed that Donlin had a
chance to manage the Reds but turn
ed it down because he was so sure
that he would be made manager of
the Rustlers. Mike is already mighty
popular with the fans. while Killing
does not appear to have made much

toward landing the job for Mike, at

er's friends clai.1.

FOUR FIELDS E
FOR ARMY NAVY GAME

West Point. Sept. 7.-There is no
real disagreement over the date for
the annual Army-Navy game this
year. The game will be played on
the first Saturday of December, so
as not to conflict with other champion
ship football matches. This state
ment was made authoritatively by
members of the Army Athletic asso-
citation.
One of the officials said: las a
matter Of fact the Army would pre-
fer to play the game the last Satur-
day in November, but the Navy insists
upon the first Saturday in December.
and we willingly concede the point,
as 1t makes no great difference to us
one way or the other, and, further
more, by playing on the latter date
we will not conflict with the Har-
game. Many persons want
to see both contests, and we think
that we should oblige them 30 long

CT YOUNG MAKING GOOD.

1t certainly looks as if the Boston
National team owners made a good
move in signing old Cy Young. That
win of his over Brooklyn Saturday
was his third straight win despite the
fact he was knocked out of the box
at his first appearance in a Rustler
uniform. The old man is immensely
popular all over the circuit and the
fans all hope he keeps up the good
work. Saturday he gave the Dodgers
but six hits. these we'll distributed.
and his control was almost perfect.
His presence with the t%ailenders
means the fans in Boston will loosen
up with the necessary two bits much
more frequently in the hope of seeing
the old fellow work.

O,TOOLE n CLAIMED.

O'Toole is all that was claimed. The
little red-haired chap has convinced
even the skeptical Pittsburgh fans
that he is a wonder. and any twirler
who can do that must be good. One
of the most impressive things about
O'Toole's work against the Cardinals
was that he did not issue a pass.

balls his control must be wonderful.

PICTURES SHOWN ON
THE NIGHT OF MATCH

Chicago, Sept. For the first
time in the history of the moving pic
ture industry, pictures were taken OF
an event and displayed to the public
on the same day when the films of
the Gotch-Hackenschmidt match, held
Monday afternoon, we're shown at a
downtown theater that night at the
close of the performance.
To accomplish this the company
used three automobiles to carry the
three separate films from Com1skey
park to the plant of the company for
development.
Three hours and IS minutes after
the last fall, the films were complet-
ed at the plant. all having been de-
veloped and spliced ready for repro
duction. AS displayed at the theater,
the film was incomplete, a break COM
ing before the first fall was shown.

finish, the second and final fall being
clearly shown.

The fans in Gotham regard the

games at home. mostly with Brooklyn
and Boston, and but one with Phila-

out of town. including the hard west

the season. The western trip is so
arranged that 1t is not as hard as 1t
might be. From Boston the Giants

LEAGUE
MADE GOOD HAUL.

One little league, the Northwestern
league, will secure about 100000 for
players sold and drafted to clubs Of
the big leagues and other organiza-
tons. This has been a life saver for
the magnates, who have to buck
against the British ignorance Of the
finer points of baseball.
1t is a larger sum than the league
has received for five years for play
ers who have been sent up the ladder.
Most of the Northwestern league play
ers who helped bring up this total will
go to the American association and
Pacific Coast league. Only a few mel
have been sent to the big leagues.
