NEW YORK, oct. a.-Alfredo dc ORC.

to Willie Hoppe. De ORC resents the
declaration by Willie's relatives and
friends that the balk-line king Is the
greatest OF all brliardlsts. He Is anxious
to prove that While is not for any sum

Hoppe and his admirers" said the
Cuban the other evening, seem 20 for
set that there are many games OF bill
lizards besides balk line. To deserve the
title of the greatest OF all billiardists a
man must certainly be supreme in more
than one branch OF the game

and said that Wulie could beat me at

Omaha has two bowling teams called

The American league Is to meet No

Governor Tener says the National COM
mission is satisfied with existing condi-
lions, showing that it is a pipe to satisfy
the National commission.
The National commission is so gullible
as to probably be satisfied that prize
fights are really on the square.
Freddie Welsh and Charley White are
now arguing about weights time to
weigh in and other little matters before
they will mix with each other In other
words, Messrs. White and Welsh are like
Messrs Johnson and Gilmore.
Probably Welsh and White are trying
to Guido the army and navy as CONVEX
satlonal fighters
But 1t Is one sure thing, neither glnk
would fight about the time to weigh in
the dollars.
To our mind the first few rounds of a
fight are the most interesting. How
couple of puSs manage to kid the public
by swinging wildly while they are count
ing the house is beyond us.
Alfredo De ORC has busted a worlds
billiard record But we rise to remark
what is a billiard record and why should
any one break It,
When the birds of dear old summer softly
sing their notes so clear
And the happy DAYS of sunshine, not
Eruff old winters here,
You'll find the merry athlete Is king OF
all this land,
And his appetite is nifty and he feeds
He stous at all the swell hotels, eats
three squares on every day,
And. again, late in the evening, just be
fore he hits the hay.
But. alas, when the winds OF winter doth
blow he rigs in his own towseled
His road is a hard one to travel along
and he's tickled TO cop off plain
beans.

ENJOY WORLD HONORS TWICE
EVers and Dougherty Only Two More
Than Once on Big Champ Teams.
J0HNNY's RECORD UNUSUAL
Even Though lie Was Unfortunate
Ms Manager, He stiI Maintains
His Ability as
Player.

NEW YORK, oct. 8i.--Johnny Bvers,
captain and second baseman of the Bos-
ton Braves, and Pat Dougherty the old
Boston and Chicago outflelder, are the
only base ball players who have played
with two different worlds championship
teams. Dougherty played with the Bos-
ton Americans when they won the worlds
championship and he was with the Chi
cago Americans when that team won the
championship two years later. Evers
played with tho Cubs when they won the
title in 1907 and 1908 and equalled Dougher-
tvs feat by playing with the Boston
Braves in this years series.
Josh Devore, the Boston substitute out
fielder, took part in worlds series with
two different teams, but until the Braves
won this year he was never a worlds
champion. And this year he got into the
series only in the capacity of a pinch
hitter.
Bvers' record is the more remarkable be-
cause there was a space of six years
between his two championship connec-
lions. In seven years almost any base
ball player is expected to slow down, and
yet seven years after playing with his
first worlds championship team the ir-
repressible Johnny Is found as the main
stay OF an entirely different team.
Evers' Record Unusual.
Evers' record Is also unusual in that he
is still able to play great base ball de-
spite his unfortunate experience as a
manager. Few players have been able
to maintain their standard OF playing
after once attempting the managerial
end OF the game.
Jake Stahl. who led the championship
Red sox team in 1912, was one of the new
players whose disastrous experience as
a manager did not have a bad effect on
his playing And at that Stahl made his
comeback" more as a manager than as
player lie was still a good player,
however when the Red sox played the
Giants two years ago.
The names of the great players who
have started to go back after falling as
examples is that OF Hal Chase, the for
mer Yankee first baseman. who seems
never to have been the same brilliant
player since his brief attempt 10 guide the
Yankees.
Unaffected ny Failure.
Evers Ii one OF the kind of players upon
whom failure seems to make no impress
sion II he fails once he is ready TO try
again and keep on trying It was just
this spirit which he seems to have i'm
parted to the whole Boston team. which
made them an unbeatable combination,
although far the inferior in mere mechan-
ical ability OF many OF the teams they
so easily overcome.
Despite his varied career, Evers is still
a comparatively young man. He is only
30 years old and has quite a big advant-
age on Leach, Wagner, Matty and some
of the other veterans who are still keep
ing up with the youngsters

say that physically they are the best

For next week at the Orpheum
Manager Forsberg announces Lit
tie Miss Brown Phillip Bartholo-
macs farce comedy, which ran sue
cessfully at the Playhouse. New

since had long and enviable career
as a laugh producer throughout the
country.
Little Miss Brown" is a purely
American farce comedy and does not
derive It's fun from any foreign
source, nor is 1t found necessary to
resort to any risque situations In
order to provoke laughs.
All the scenes In the play take
place in a New York hotel and, as
prescribed for the ideal play. all the
action takes place within single
day.
The characters are what are
known as types and include the
day clerk, the hotel detective, the
night clerk, the elevator boy and
the slangy telephone girl, and are all
particularly well conceived.
The story concerns little Miss
Brown, who forgets the day OF the
week and arrives in town a day too
soon, which fact starts all the
trouble. Somebody steals her pocket

skeptical, refuses to take her In. but

gagged rooms.
During the night a woman's hus-
band arrives, and in the morning he
meets little Miss Brown, when many
complications ensue. The mans wife
also appears on the scene and scents
scandal Divorce and all sorts OF
unpleasant things are in prospect.
On top of 1t all the husbands
uncle and aunt arrive to turn over to
him a large legacy If they find him
happily married. There is two hours
and half of solid laughter, and all
ends happily.
