Struggle Goal in DAN
ger Only Once

The Chickasha high school gridiron
warriors toyed with Anadarko yester.
day and won, hands down, 90 to .. It
was a runaway from the tap Of the
gong, Chickasha making gains almost
at will through ony section of the line.
Line plunges were used more than
long run ends and the forward pass
was almost conspicuous by its absence.
Even at that, Anadarko put up a game
scrap and showed up to a better ad-
vantage. than aid Apache here a few
weeks ago.
Only in the third quarter did Chick
asha's goal appear to be in danger
when Anadarko recovered the bali on
tumble and with series Of line
plunges and a forward pass, worked
the ball down to Chickashas 25 yard
line, only to lose the ball, and be car
/ ried back up the field BY the irresisti-
able onslaughts Of the purple and gold
performers.
Fowler, the Anadarko fullhack, stood
ont like a sore thumb from his teams
mates because Of two reasons; first.
because Of the flaming perpendicular
striped iersey he wore. and second.
because b his spectacular defensive
work.
The battle for supremacy between
Matthews aud Schlotterbeek, alternat-
ing at fullbaek, was as spectacular as
it was brilliant. Both men tore large
and ragged holes in the Anadarko line
and never failed to make decided
gains. Matthews is probably the best
ground gamer, while sehlotterbeck has
a shade the best Of the defensive work.
Cochran got away well at halfbacl1
until he threw his knee out Of joint
and was put out Of the game. Heffner
ran the team we'll and picked up de-
cidedly in his kicking.
In the last quarter Hamilton and
Wallace demonstrated that they could
be depended upon for gains when a

government of obtaining a written deo- laration of amity from Servia, the Ser Vian minister, pr. Nenadovitch, has sent another important communication to the porte. This follows a communi- cation which the minister addressed the porte Saturday respecting the stoppage of Servian ammunition after permission had been given for its pass age through Turkish lines. In reply to this the Turkish foreign minister said tho consignment was detained be- cause of the doubtful attitude of Ser via. On the declaration by the min- ister that the Servian policy was un- changed the Turkish foreign minister asked for a written statement em- bodying these assurances.
 The present note invites the porte to adopt a definite decision within 4s hours, either to sanction the passage of the ammunition or return 1t to France. The communication is couched in friendly but energetic terms. It Is understood failure to comply with the conditions will lead to the departure of the minister.
 Turkish endorsements were landed on tho island of Samos today. but owing to the existing armistice between the au. thorties and the insurgents active op- era ations have been suspended. The Mon- tenegriu government offered it's excuses to the Ottoman charge d'affaires at Get tinje for the recent attack by Montene- grins on a Turkish ammunition convoy on the shores of Lake Soutari.
 The foreign minister denied today that the government had received an ultima tum from Bulgaria and servia jointly.

SERVE 4OOO MEALS
 ADAY AT SHOW Ringling Brothers Canvas Hotel One of Wonders
 of World

| Just 4000 meals are served every day in the week in the canvas hotel on the show grounds of Ringing Brothers circus. It is not unusual for 50O0 pancakes to be baked at single breakfast Other edibles disappear in the same astonishing propor- | tions. The daily expense of maintaining the commssary department Is over 5000. Meals are cooked in all languages. Twenty -njne nations are represented among the performers. As each likes his characteristic dishes. there are chefs from all parts of the world to cater to all l tastes. A corps of so cooks, walters and kitchen helpers Is needed to look after the comforts of the 12o0 employees when meal times come. The Ringlings believe in the best of everything for the tables. The most humble workman has the same bill of fare as the expensive performers. The best the market affords is provided. The steward of the show is A. l.. Webb. He is wonder. It is no small job to keep 1000 men of all tastes and requirements satisfied That Is what Webb does His meals are the acme of culinary art. He does all the buying himself in the local market.
 Webb buys flour by the wagon load, po- tatoes by the ton, sugar In dozen barrel | ing room is divided into three rooms. The performers have one. the bosses have another and the workmen eat in the third. The kitchen is supplied with all the ranges, broiing ovens and pastry ovens found in the best hotels. The soups are cooked on a camp fire. One hundred and fifty gallons of coffee can be made at one time.
 Another important institution on the show grounds Is the dynamo plant. Cur rent is here supplied for G0O00 electric lights, beacons and arc lamps. The me- nagefie cages are studded with incandes- cent globes The main exhibition tent is lighted with 3G 1aring arcs and battery of spot lights and calciums Gas is also generated on the grounds. It is used to soften the intensity of the electric lights. The dynamos also supply power for the machine shops.
 And the circus has its own postofflce. Jules Turnour, recently exploited in the Saturday Evening Post. Is the postmaster. He Is very interesting man and has had many experiences il all parts of the world during his 45 years of circus life He is the subject of very interesting book written by Isaac r. Marcosson, the novelist and magazine editor
 The train upon which the show travels is over mile in length. It is cut into
 five sections The first section to reach town is the kitchen and hotel outfit. It
 is packed up and dispatched to the next days stand immediately after supper every day. so there may De no delay in serving breakfast in the morning.
 The big circus will give two perform ances in Birmingham on Wednesday, Oc-. tober 2, beginning the programme with a newly added spectacle of Joan of Are, enacted on a stage bigger than 100 ordi- nary theatres, and with q cast of lzyo characters. A train load of special seem cry. costumes and properties is required and there are 50 stage and properties re- quired.
