Lotus, in motion picture version OF
"A Lady of Quality in five parts
The subject is an idyllic blending
of the romance, beauty and daring

NAVY LINEUP NOT CHOSEN.
Backfield Choices for Army Game
 Not Yet Decided.

Annapolis, Nov. 23.-The Naval Academy coaches have still to de- termine the occupants of several of the positions on the team which will meet the Army eleven on Saturday, and are confronted with the fact that hard scrimmages are inadvisable ow- ing to the danger of injuries or overtraining to the players who must bear the brunt of the battle. They will choose largely upon the work of the team in recent games and prac- tices.
 It appears certain that Miles will start the game at quarter, and Blod- gett at one of the halves, but either Failing or Craig may start at ahc other half, and Bates may be chosen over H. Harrison at fullback. The choice at right end was very doubtful up to Saturday, but T. Harrison's work in catching forward passes will probably give him the preference over Jackson, Moran and Fischer. The work of Kennedy at left tackle has not been satisfactory, and he may be supplanted by McCoach.

The veteran of the old prize ring was still among the living at last reports, and, unless he has since died, will cele- brate his 91st birthday today. Browns own ring record was not remarkable, and his chief claim to fame was in introducing Jem Mace to the sport ing public. It was in 1858 that Brown issued a challenge to Bob Brettle, then one of the most famous of boxers on behalf of an unknown" The novice proved to, be Jem Mace. Although he had fought in several battles before that, Mace was still in- experienced, and the taunts of Bret ties supporters so angered him that he fell an easy victim to Bob's terrific right.

 Little has been said of the light weight bouts but if reports from New York are to be believed they should be the real features Of the show. Stanley Schubert intends to keep clean record that shows no blem- ishes as a semi-final fighter in his match with Frankie Markie. The latter is equally determined to put a stop to Schubert's export line and will try to slip over few without pay ing the import duty. The Billy Whalen-Terry O'Neil go is another that should bring the fans to their toes. These two boys arc evenly matched and it will be big disap- pointment if they do not furnish whirlwind bout.

The influx of visitors to New Brit repetition on small scale of the crowd that flowed toward New Ha- ven Saturday, the attraction here being w. w. Hanna's all-s ar boxing show at Hanna's armory.
 This will be the chief sporting at- traction in the state and every city from line to line is expected to con- tribute it's contingent of fans. There has been an unusually heavy demand for tickets, indicating that the arm ory will be packed from ringside to ceiling.
 Connecticut fans are aroused by the story that Young Sharkey is going to prove 8 tartar for Buddy Faulkes in the main bout of twelve rounds. Sharkeys camp is keeping mum and doing nothing but saving wood but it is known that his fol- lowers expect that he will be the white hope of the bantam class. Faulkes has whipped nearly every Caucasian he has been pitted against He has cleaned up Connecticut and with his f1ashy left has withered the aspirations of many pale face It was with the anticipation of put ting stop to the negro's growing string of victories that Sharkey was signed to meet him. The question arises: Will Sharkey be the white man to show up Faulkes? If he proves to be, his path toward the seats occupied by the top notchers will be straight and easy as he will have turned a trick that no bantam in this state has been able to equal.
 Faulkes has been so successful in the game that he has ceased to worry All white men look alike to him and he takes them on as fast as they come with the line forming on the left. After delivering the goods against Battling" Lahn, the knock out king of Brooklyn, he fears no one and expects to collect Sharkeys scalp before the night is over.

BY "GRAVY."

During the last baseball season the gentle art of jumping" was much practiced by baseball stars, but they were mere bikers compared with some of the jumpers of that period when the National and American leagues were waging bitter and re- lentless war on each other. It was almost daily occurrence for some player to jump from one circuit to the other, and turn around, and jump right back again.
 Of all the jumpers of that palrny period of the players, the champion was Jimmy Sheckard. He set up a new worlds record for jumping, :" which will probably never be sur passed. Jimrny's fckle ways are re- called by the fact that this is the thirty y-fifth anniversary of his birth. James Tilden Sheckard was born in Pennsylvania on November 23, 1879. The present crop of fans remem Der Jimmy principally as the able left fielder of Murphy & Chances pen nant-grabloing Cubs, but Jimmy was playing big league ball, and helping to cop flag, long before that. When he was only fifteen he played semi pro pc1lI WILL 4GSla, O.p oiAo l/eAA1- caster, Pa., and at sixteen he became a real league player with Portsm outh, Va. In 1897 he was outfielder for the Brockton club of the New Eng land league, and was the sensation of the season, batting .370. Such a performance naturally attracted wide attention, and in 1898 he was signed by the Brooklyn Nationals. The fol- ho hn more Orioles, but in 1900 he returned to Brooklyn. He helped Brooklyn win the pennant that year. In 1901 he was the premier swatter of the old major circuit, smashing the Dill to the tune of 1858.
 It was at this period-a dark and gloomy one for the nagnates-that Jimmy pulled off his great Jumping stunt John McGraw was then man. aging an American league club in Baltimore, but it was a hopeless sec ond division aggregation, and the fans, accustomed to the sensational playing of the old Orioles, refused to enthuse over the new leagues outfit. Mo- Graw needed a good outfielder, and, as Sheckard was about the best in those days, he went after him. Star players were then able to name prac- tically their own terms, but although Sheckard was not unduly modest the Baltim oreanS came across. But Brooklyn also wanted Sheckard, so every time Baltimore offered a boost in salary Brooklyn came right back with another raise.
 On eight separate and distinct oc- casions Sheckard jumped from one league to the other. It was great fun--for him-and he played the clubs against each other to the limit. Tn the end, however, Brooklyn won out, and when the cruel war was over Jimmy was wearing Brooklyn uni- form.
 He remained with the Brooklyns until the close of the 1905 season. when he went over to the Cubs. And, speaking of luck, that very year the Cubs achieved the pennant and re-. peated in 1907. 1908 and 1910. Jimmy
