NEW THEATRE TO OPEN

IN NEW YORK
New York, Oct 9-The most recent
theatre to be completed IN New York
is the Booth Theatre in Forty-fifth
street, which will open for the first
time tomorrow evening. Arnold Ben
nett's THE Great Adventure" has
been selected for the opening attrac-
ton.
The New Booth Theatre, which was
built by Winthrop Ames to house
plays that he wishes to produce and
that require an ampler stage and audi
forum than his Little Theatre affords,
is relatively small, with only one bal
cony and parquet that is compact
rather than expansive. Within,it will
be decorated simply and here and
there in it will be placed various relics
and memorabilia of the old Booth
Theatre, built and managed by Edwin
Booth himself, that Mr.. Ames inherit
ed from his father. The inference in-
deed is that the fathers inteest in the
old Booth Theatre prompted the son
to choose the name for his own new
playhouse. For the most part, Mr..
Ames will use it for plays of his pro-
ducing and he has equipped it so that
all sorts of interesting experiments
are possible In it.

Hand in hand with hoyden spring;
All the flower people nodding,
All the feathered folk awning.
Higher! Higher!" call the thrushes;
"Wilder! Wilder!" breathe the trees;
And the purple mountains beckon
Upward to their mysteries.
Always farther leagues to wander,
Peak to peak and slope to slope;
Lips to sing and feet to follow,
Eyes to dream and heart to hope.

All the world is on the wing;

NO SPORT FREE
FROM ACCIDENT
Fatalities Are Numerous In All
Lines of Activity

New York July 10.-The other day
the recently opened motordrome in
Detroit registered the death of a
NounS man who was practicing on the
track. There have been twenty or so
boys killed playing baseball since the
season opened. too, but there was no
cry about these casualties killing" the
respective sports in which the acct
dents happened.
Some time ago New Haven writer
dWelt on the subject, and he hit the
nail right ON the head when he said:
IF college fellow breaks jaw in
a football game he's a hero. In fact,
If an athlete is injured in any sport
aside from boxing he gets an honor
able mention and the world sympa-
thi1es with him. Do they knock the
sport ana try to give il a black eye?
"Cei tainly not. But when a man is
injured while boxing there are many
delighted to get the chance to start
banning the sport. They exert them
give boxing black eye and relating
the brutality of the sport that they
generally overlook the injured man
and fail To even report his con-
dition. They seem to feel that the
public is more interested in reading
the panning given than the result of
the athletes injury and his condition.
1T is true boxing is a strenuous
sport exciting and rough. But what
sport is there today devoid OF rough
ness that is recognized as a popular
sport? Football is ruusher than box
ing ever was, ever will be, or ever
can be. Roller polo is much rougher
than boxing and more polo players
are injured than boxers.
"A baseball player gets a broken
jaw. How many baseball players are
seriously injured every season? If the
people ever stopped to consider these
facts they wouldn't be so quick to
pan boxing every time boxer meets
with an injury. \ boxer doesn't ex-
pcct TO continue at the sport without
getting hurt. If he did he wouldn't
be boxing. lie is trained to stand pun
ishment and if necessary, injury. It's
part of his business and You never
hear of boxer who gets hurt or is
injured knocking the sport"

ARE USING FADEAWAY,
Gregg and kahler Both Adopt Decep-
tive Delivery.

Cleveland, July Icy F'alkenberg
liz not the only Nap pitcher with a
fadeaway ball in his twirling roper
toire. Both Nean Gregg and George
kahler have been practicing for
weeks to acquire the ability to handle
this style of delivery and are now
mixing it with their shoots. Gregg
has made the fadeaway a regular part
of his program by now and is perhaps
the only great southpaw in either big
league using it.
Neither Gregg nor Kahler had ever
used the fadeaway before this season,
but both made up their minds to mas
ter the serving of ioaters to batsmen
after they saw how much the fade
away had done to make Cy talken-
berg a successful pitcher. Day after
day Gregg and kahler get out
in practice and work to fade them
over.
THIS ball is hard to control, but
Gregg has at last reached the stage
where he depends lot on it in
pinChes.
