Jim Thorpe, on Wedding Eve,
Helps Drill Carlisle Team

CARLISLE, Pa, Oct. 14.-Jim
Thorpe never booted the pigslkin
higher, farther or more accurately
than he did on the Carlisle Indian
football field yesterday, when he
served as assistant coach to Glen
Warner in advising the red-skinned
kickers during the usual practise.
Thorpe, who is to be married here
today, wore his faYorite football
toys almost up to the last stage of
single blessedness. Coach Warner
gave his warriors an extended dis
cussion of the negllgences developed
in the Cornell game. Assistant
Coaches Exendlne and Lone Star
gave especial attention to the ends
and scrubs, and Captain WEIGH did
his share in rounding up weaknesses.

Drill at Annapolis Is
Brief, but Comprehensive

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 14.--Less
than an hour was spent in practise
by the Naval Academy football squad
yesterday afternoon and there was no
lineup. The players were in excel
lent spirits after their decisive VIC
tory over GEORGETOWN on Saturday,
but some of this was taken out of
them by Head Coach Howard and
Field Coach Reilly. who talked to
them about the misplays which re-
suited in penalties.
These penalties aggregated over 200
yards, and It was pointed out what a
serious matter this would have been
against a dangerous Opponent The
team has developed rather fast and
is playing strong football for so early

ON Blaney and Noe Reichman
Have Talk with Charles Ebbets
Over Purchase of the Newark Club

were $4,000. The club won the PEN
nant, all right, but as to the profits,
that is another question. Solomon, to
his credit, managed to secure a lot of
publicity as to the vast amount of
money the club made, but those who
know at all know full well that not
anywhere near $4,000 was made in
the season just past.
C
For Newarkers to purchase the
Newark Club would be great thing,
but a new location for the grounds
would have to be secured If the
owners ever hoped to make much
money. The present grounds are not
in the proper spot at all, and IL new
park is built it will make big differ
ence in the attendance and in the re-
ceipts. When Messrs. Million and
Uppercu were negotiating for the
purchase of the club they had an
architect make plans for q new ball
field on the present Motordrome site.
The drawing is a dream, and the
grounds, If built, would have been
beautiful. The deal. however, did not
go through, and it never will so
through, Mr.. Million says, at such an
asking price.

Moe Reichman and Tom Blaney, To-
cal men, called on Mr.. Ebbete yester-

days to talk things over No price

Theoretical football In the gymnasium
was the program for the army team
yesterday. Head Coach Daily and his
associates gave the men a talk with
blackboard illustrations. and those
things that were not to Days liking
in the Rutgers game of Saturday
were pointed out and set straight in
the minds of everybody concerned.
The physical condition of the men
who played in the Rutgers game is
first class. Aside from a few minor
bruises, all hands are in good shape
and eager to resume the scrimmage
work, which will begin again tomor-
row. Hadgson, the start bacllfield

The sale of the Newark Club crops

said, are negotiating for the purchase
Of the Tigers TITS well-'tis the best
thing that could possibly happen. If
the Ebbets and the McKeevers and
Solomon hang on to the club for
another year they will likely regret it.
The fans are sore on the whole "ca-
Doodle" Of them and the best thing
they can do is to get out as soon as
they can. In any event, Solomon must
go. He has made a regular monkey
of himself He thought he could be
big fellow by playing a funny game
and listening to the insurance pest"
and other poor advisers. He lost as
all others will lose who attempt to get
by with anything that is not up-and-
up.
O.
Although the report is very strong
that the club is to be sold, and sold
today, perhaps, there are denials from
some quarters. However. it is known
that several local capitalists would
like to own the franchise, but none
of these whom have talked to was
willing to give any such price as is
being asked. The owners are said to
have set $4,000 as the lowest sum
they will take. AS the club only
year ago was bought for $4,000. the
raise in the price of baseball seeuri-
ties has evidently been rapid. The
argument advanced in selling the
club at such high price is that it is
a pennant-winner 1t is also said

famous romance, will begin a weeks en-
gagement at the Columbia Theater today

IN photo drama and visualizes story
with the broadest appeal imaginable.
Lovers of history will revel in the re-
production of the gorgeous pictures of
ancient Rome with It's ma asliiicent pal
aces, its catacombs, the Arena and host
of other interesting scenes, and will en-
JOY the hfe-like lmpersonations Of the
famous historical characters, Nero.
Tigellinus and the others --..as --.
Those VINO lean toward romance can
absorb the beautiful story OF the great
love of Vinitius for the sweet LygIa
which turned him from a selfish pagan
into faithful Chr stan, and the heroic
sacrifice of the teauteous slave Eunice
Tor her brilliant master Petronius.
Stirring Scenes
Those who take their pleasure in ex-
citement will find ample satisfaction in
the chariot races in the .trcna, thecom-
bats of the sladiators. the stirring scene
where the Christian martyrs are thrown
into the arena with the hons, ana also
in the maryeious picture showing the
burning of Rome, one of the most gor-
geous spectacies ever thrown upon the
screen.
And those familiar with church his
tory will be interested in the yisualiza-
ton of the trials and sufferings of the
early Christians; will strengthen their
latin with the object-lessons of Peter
ana Paul, and the appearance of the
Savior unto Peter as he is about to
desert Rome and the Christians. This
production does more for the Scholar,
the churchman, and the amusement
seeker than any entertainment that
has ever been presented

nous expense. Thousands of players

ing fiuelity, and all the episodes of
interest in the book are pictorialized in
detail Nearly 1000 feet of film are
required TO present the story.
