Edward Sheldon has changed the
locale of the play which he is making
out Of Herman Sudermann's "Das Hohe
Lied" called in English The Song OF
Songs" Instead OF putting 1t in a small
town OF Germany and later In an old
castle and in Berlin he will place It In
New York, with scenes in we'll known
restaurants and other resorts. The idea
seems strange. although the author OF
the novel is said to approve. Much Of
"Dss Hohe Lied" seems altogether
German. since LiH's adventures are
largely the result OF the Germans idea
of woman and the relation In which
she stands to her lord and master. Her
easy surrender to fate might never have
been necessary In any other civilization.
Actors do not after all find the rise
to prominence so easy and so sudden,
Ponder on the past OF Joseph Santley,
the graceful young dancer at the Palace
Theatre. Nobody would have connected
him with any long preparation for his

case:
Joseph Santley has been a star actor
nearly all his life. He began acting
when he was years old. playing kid
dies of both sexes. He was fair with
long. golden ringlets. so II was a simple
matter for the purpose of changing
plays to make a girl or boy OF him at a
moments notice. and moments notice
was all he received upon most occa-
! sions. At he was doing the star
speciality with his father in Corse Pay
tons company, which at that time was
source OF ceaseless JOY to the lead
/ ing New England cities.
Promlnenl on the bills were "The
Santleys," Eugene and Joey. in singing

WHITES RALLY
GETS HIM DRAW
WITH F. WELSH

MILwAUAEE. Wis. Nov. TO-
Freddie Welsh was still lightweight

because Charley White. of Chicago,
hunted all over the auditorium be-
tween the third and ninth rounds
last night without being able to ind
Welsh.
Charley located the champion along
about 10:47, however. and punched
his jaw, slammed him In the ribs,
bloodied his nose. messed his hair
and did sundry other things that
made the Welshman look most IN
championlike. IL White had battled
throughout like he did In the last two
periods, II would have been taps for
Welsh.
The Chicagoan started out by out
boxing and outpunching Welsh In the
second and third, with the first round
even. From the start of the fourth.
though, welsh's speed was bewilder'
ing and he had the crowd laughing at
Charley's efforts to hit him. WHITES
best effort from then to the ninth
was an unintentional right swing to
Referee Duffy's countenance while
Welsh was 10 feet away.
Somebody slipped some tobasco In
Whites water after the eighth. he
tore into Welsh like a wild man and
soon cuffed the champion into a state
of defense.
White was even more mtamed In
the final round, battering Welsh about
the ring with salvo after salvo OF lefts
and rights, to the accompaniment Oh
5000 healthy pairs of lungs. More
than Freddie's feelings were hurt. and
he was awfully glad to hear that old
gong.
II was a good draw, according to
the majority opinion of the sporting
writer's, though two critics gave
White the shade. The Wisconsin law
does not permit decisions.

LONGER DRILLS
GIVES EAST BIG
EDGE ON WEST

CHICAGO. Nov. l0.--A bunch OF
westerners. led from the discussion
OF the promise OF more intersectional
games within the next few years to
a discussion OF the relative merits OF
eastern and western teams, concluded
that team from this side q the IL
leghenies must be 80 per cent better
In natural strength In order 70 win
from an eastern school. The long dis
tances that an invading team must
travel was one factor In reaching that
conclusion. but that 10 tae smallest.
according TO western experts.
IL Is the preliminary training. prev
alent In the east. which gives me At
lantic coast teams and others farther
inland tremendous edge.
The visitors from lie west were
surprised when they discovered that
the Yale candidates for the team be
gan Practice at 1880 practically every
day and were at II until after dark.
Then after this came indoor quiz and
blackboard talks. which meant that
the football curriculum accounted for
four or FIVE hours day.
At Harvard they are not 80 fortu-
nate. Practice there begins usually
at 8 o'clock In the afternoon and lasts
until Il Is too dark to see the ball. At
Princeton and Pennsylvania they are
far more liberal, as IL also the case
at Cornell. Syracuse and other
schools.
AS against this take an extreme
case In the west--the Northwestern
team. There man can seldom get
out before 4 o'clock and the majority
usually appear about 4:20. This gives
the coaches less than an hour OF open
field work. They are slightly more
liberal at the University OF Chicago.
At the University OF Michigan the
practice also begins late In the after
noon. as many OF the candidates have
late classes.
"How do you arrange such early
practice?" was asked Yale man who
was getting pointers on the Harvard
team.
why not?" came the answer. "as
there are no classes In the afternoon
during the fall term?"
"Are the classes arranged In order
not to conflict with the football prac-
tice? was the innocent rejoinder.
"Oh. not at all: II simply has been
the custom OF the university, so far
as I know" was the clinching argu'
ment.
Simple mathematics will show that
the eastern football candidates get al.
most twice as much practice as the
western; but that Is not all. In add
ton, the majority of the men who
make the regular team on any big
college team In the east have been
coached in the style used two or three
years before he enters.
Thus II SINNERS down to the per
sonal equation and western coaching
methods. In this the west undoubted-
ly outshines the east. The western
+, football player makes up for elack OF
experience by a superabundance OF
grit and gameness. Besides, he re
tains more readily what Is taught him
| In limited period. but until the
time and practice are more equalized
the fastener will always be the more
finished player.
