BASEBALL-SPORTS OF ALL SORTS-BOXING
Jennings In Bad For Tipping OFF
Connie Mack's Shaks-Up.

Even with election practically
over, there is no more live sport to-
day than there has been for the
past few weeks. We wish somebody
had been elected to dig up some hon.
est-ta=goodness interesting baseball
news.
Probably the highest point OF base
bill interest today is the mess that
Hughey Jennings seems, to. have
placed himself in by tipping of Con-
ME Mack's shake-up plans.
Absolute secrecy is supposed to
surround the asking of waivers until
the baseball club which does the ask
ing is ready to make the fact known,
and this rule was broken by Jen-
nings when he let it out that Mack
had asked waivers on Plank, Bender
and Coombs.
When the American League club
owners get together Thursday in
their annual business meeting here,
Jennings is mighty liable to get his
"callings" Also, it is possible that he
may draw fine.
As long as the cat is out of the bag,
Connie Mack has acknowledged that
the three pitchers, Plank, Coombs
and Bender, will never again appear
in Athletic uniform. The big leader
didn't give the secret, as to the cause
of his move, away.
One of the largest crowds in the
baseball history of. San Francisco
turned out Tuesday to watch the Ma
tional-An Stars trim the American
All-Stars to the tune of 4 to 2. Big
Bill James heaved for the winning
nine. Carey broke up the game in
the fourth inning with long home
run, driving James in ahead of him.

Great secrecy guards the practice
Of Coach Zuppke's Illinois football
athletes the past few days. The

into form and don't intend to let 'em
get away from him.
HaVard's strongest men will start
the game Saturday against the Prin-
ceton Tigers Mahan and Pennock
will both be in the lineup Probably
the only star who can't possibly get
into the fray is Capt. Brickley, who is
recovering from an operation for ap-
pendieitis.
Michigan is coming in for a lot of
praise for their showing against Har-
ward last Saturday, in spite of the
fact that the Crimson eleven took the
contest. Even Eastern critics are Civ
ing the Yost team great credit Prac-
tically the only criticism handed the
losing team is that they did not have
the necessary push to score a touch
down when they were right on top of
the opposition's goal post.
Cornell football stars hereafter will
be numbered The system has been
making a great hit with big college
elevens, as well as sand-lot teams,
and it's a cinch spectators appreciate
knowing who's who in the football

teams that stand indicated this sea-

ATHLETICS HAVE
LOST PUNCH. SAYS
MANAGER MACK

BOSTON, Oct. 14.-"1t was bound
to come sooner or later" is the way
Connie Mack summed up the sttua-
tion last night, after his team SUI
fered it's fourth straight defeat and
the loss OF the worlds series. i did
not think it would come so sudden,
but it seems to be an inevitable law
among ball clubs; they go so long
and then the old spark seems to die
out.
"The Cubs were very amazed when
we beat them so decisively four
years ago; but they were up against
a young team with all the youthful
vim and snap. Now we are the vet
erans." =.
This is Connie Mack's philosophy
on the subject. He admits in one
word that the old club has lost Its
punch and its vital spark.

Surprising in Size and magnifi-

ages immense production OF the
dramaticyspectacle, "Everywoman,r
which will be disclosed at the Grand
opera house Saturday matinee and
night stands alone. No other. mana
ger would have attempted to present
with travelling organization a
spectacle SO massive. Not, a feature
which was used with this production
during its two years run in New
York has beene Eliminated. In addi-
ton to the. one hundred and fifty
people which are required in the
production and towork the mechanic
cal and electrical effects, an entire
symphony orchestra is carried BY
the company. The music, which was
composed by George Whitefield
Chadwick, dean2of the New England
observatory Of Music. OF Boston, re-
quires an intelligent and careful rcn-
Fdering to bring out all its beauties
and only skilled musicians. after
weeks, of strenuous rehearsals, are
competent to play it. The organi2a-
ton is equipped with ane ntire train
load OF scenery and mechanical eff
fects. The company includes a
grand opera and a musical comedy
chorus, in addition to the large dra
matte ensemble. "Everywoman" is,
in fact, commingling Of the more
attractive features of opera, musical
comedy and drama. While 1t anus,
ces and furnishes, entertainment
which can be understood and enjoy
ed by anyone, it also promulgates
moral lesson of inestimable value.
Mothers, upon seeing the play, have
brought their daughters to it to I'M
press on them a lesson they could
not otherwise impart. Clergymen of
al creeds and beliefs have found food
for reflection in it and have. endors-
ed it in the most emphatic terms. In
London it met with as enthusiastic a
reception as it has had in this coun-
try. For the production Of this play
in this city Mr.. Savage is offering a
Ncast that includes several of the
creators Of the different characters.

Because Of the amazing realism and

ed distinct position for itself that
lis not approached by any other. The
most graphic writer could not I'M
press readers like the stirring scenes
which Howe presents. The realism
of each scene is intensified by the
star of versatile imitators and i'm
personators behind the screen who
mimic very cleverly everything that
flies in tile air or walks on the
earth. Then again these illusions
are enhanced and perfected by tho
classic and semf-classic musical ac-
compartments which are as varied iii

ing precisely the most appropriate
for every scene. The music ranges
from a soothing lullaby one instant
TO the sonorous strains of famous
opera and includes every style or
graduation from the oldtime melodies
TO tile very latest popular refrain.
