"Quo Vadis," Worlds Supreme Photo Drama at the Auditorium, Today


 If the man who coined the word ''Movie," had first seen Quo Nadis, it is a certainty that this particular slang expression would have never come in to existencg as this masterpiece of the photographic art is as far ahead of what is commonly termed movie, as a masterpiece by Raphael or Rem brandt is ahead of cartoon in the Sunday papers.
 Geo I<leine who is responsible for the presentation of Quo Nadis. de serves the thanks of the millions of patrons of motion pictures: as he has demonstrated to what heights this art may attain.
 People who have always looked down upon motion pictures as some thing merely to be tolerated. have witnessed this wonderful production and had their whole opinion changed. This was proven by the fact that New Works 400" packed the Astor Thea Ire New York. when it was shown there
 The management of the Auditorium are to be congratulated upon securing this work of art for Norwich, but 1t was only by signing an iron clad con- tract that the engag cement was con summated.

Na'am,T he said, and there was a wistful
smile on his lips and a tenderness in his eye
worthy of seemingly better cause, @but
I'm-I'm what they call drummer, trav-

for three months. I've got a little girl Of

all with a graceful facility that Proteus HIM
self might well have envied. And later,
when night fell, and WEAKNESS came with it,
in the dusk of the twilight it was indeed
pretty sight to me, and a sight that smote
somewhat upon my conscience for my over
ready contempt Of the earlier afternoon,
when my gaze fell upon the figure of an ex-
hausted drummer, his eyes half-closed, sleep
lily humming a tender lullaby to tired little
golden-haired stranger who lay cuddled up
in his arms, fast asleep, with her head upon
his breast.
l like to think that that little incident was
a valuable contribution to my education in
the science of brotherhood. 1t has not per-
haps produced in my soul larger tolerance
of the intolerable in casual conversation, but
it has served to warn me against the dangers
of snap judgments, and has certainly broad
ened my sympathies in respect to my fellow
man in my chance meetings with him upon
the highways and byways of life, whence
sometimes, in the loneliness of my wander
ings, I have gathered much comfort, and
reaped harvests in friendliness which other
wise might have lost.

company, and my sympath1es are with the

called half-dozen strikes on members OF
the Athletics that were just about on level
with the knee, the kind of pitched ball that
makes the most trouble for the umpire. |
wanted to see the recruit get good start,
and if there was doubt in my mind | rem
dered the decision in his favor.
Pieh had held the Athletics for three in
nings without run, and when he went out
to pitch the eighth inning the score stood
s to 6 in his favor, instead of 6 to 2 against
him. In this inning, for the first time during
my career on the ball field, I allowed my
vindictiveness to get the better of me.
The first batter to face Pieh let the first
two balls pitched 60 by. Both were much
too high, and were declared balls. From his
actions I could see that Pieh would have
been much better pleased if l had called
both Of them strikes. The next was good
one; and l called it strike. 1t was fol-
lowed by foul strike and two balls that
were much too low, the batter walking. As
called the fourth ball, which almost hit
the ground, Pieh stepped out of the box,
folded his arms, assumed a look of pity, and
stared at me- Everybody laughed excepting
myself. was a bit peeved.
@Get in there and pitch, you big busherl"
L
3You haven't been in the league long enough
to get uniform that fits you, yet you start
to umpire before you have ever pitched a
full game"
@Get in there and umpire!' responded Cy.
4It's good thing the season is almost over.
You're going blind
aIf the rest of the pitchers didn't have
any more stuff than you have, blind men
would be competent umpires in this league"
shot back.
1t was evident that Pieh did not like the
reflection on his ability as pitcher; but he
continued the argument. u never kick I'M
less the umpire misses them when they are
right through the heart of the plate. You
missed the last two l threw"
1You can't beat that said Ed Sweeney,
who was doing the catching. "Those last
two balls were so low l almost decided to
let them 60 without making any effort to
catch them"
l was sore. 31f you are able to get the
ball right through the heart, Mr.. Pieh, I'll
show you just how | can miss them,' l re-
piled; for l had made up my mind that he
needed a little lesson on his behavior that
he would remember.
The next offering was as perfect strike
as have ever seen GO over the plate, and
declared it ball. Pieh looked rather
puzzled, but said nothing. The next offering
was another perfect strike, which also de-
clared a ball, and could see that he was
beginning to wilt.
aWhat was the matter with the last two2'
he asked in voice that had lost all of its
sarcasm.
Entirely too good, answered. 4If you
continue throwing such perfect strikes, some
of your felders will be getting killed, if the
Athletics make I'D their minds to strike at
the balls instead of waiting them out.

REPARTEE OF THE DIAMOND
Continued from page 9

and Pieh got out OF the hole had helped
get him into. Also he went through the
ninth without any trouble, and won the
game, thereby keeping New York out of last
place by margin of half-game.
TIM SCOTT of the Chicago White Sox and
) Dan Moeller of the Washington team are
the best of friends; but this relationship was
momentarily strained during game at
Washington last season. 1t resulted from
SCOTS starting to kid Moeller about his
ability as batter. In ordinary circum-
stances the Washington outhelder is far
above the average with the stick. He was
in batting slump, however, and had proved
easy picking for the Chicago pitchers during
the opening games of the series. He was in
no mood to be kidded when Scott opened
up on him from the Chicago bench. Mana
ger Callahan had just sent in young col
legian by the name of Lathrop to finish
pitching the game, and Moeller was the first
man to face the recruit.
Here's soft one for you to break in on,
Kid" yelled Scott to Lathrop.
Moeller glared toward the Chicago bench,
and was greeted with a row of smiling faces.
On the first ball pitched he sent up little
fly to the catcher.
@Say, Dan, when are you going to get a
nit! asked OCOtt.
@When you pitch, if Callahan ever gives
you chance. l expect to get enough hits
then to make up for my entire slump" an
swered Moeller.
Scott was silent during the remainder Of
the game.
EVERY now and then the public is misled
- as to the nature of what is taking place
on the diamond. Several years ago in
rather important game at Detroit, with two
on and two out, Sam Crawford hit long
drive to right field. It was the last half Of
the ninth. If Crawford was able to reach
home on the hit, it meant tie game and
extra innings. The fans were worked up to
a high pitch, and were pulling like mad for
him to reach the plate in safety. He was
thrown out at the plate on close decision,
and naturally the fans were much disap-
pointed. As he got to his feet he began to
talk to me, and we walked to the dressing
room together
4Tell It to him, SAM" yelled number of
the fans.
On the car going downtown that evening
a couple of fans sitting in front of me we're
discussing the same play. Both appeared to
be minded chaps, and they agreed that
from the stand it looked as if the catcher had
blocked Crawford off, which was just what
had happened.
@Did you notice that Crawford followed
the umpire off the field, thought. asked one.
Il wonder what he said to hi1n?"
will reveal the little secret by unfolding
the conversation.

Sam; although hardly thought I could
beat the throw. By the way, how is Mrs.
Evans?"
@Fine!" 1 answered. 3She is making this
trip with me-"

glad to see her, and talk over that trip to

THE WHOLE TICKET
FORMER GOVERNOR HERRIED
CALLS ON ALL REPUBLIC
ANS TO SUPPORT BURKE
AND BYRNE.

Aberdeen, Oct. 31.-Former Gov
ernor c.. N. Herreid has given an in
terview on the republican ticket in
which he says it does not require
prophetic vision to predict a sweeping
victory for the republican ticket
from Congressman Burke for United
States senator to the last name on the
ticket.
ITO me the election of Mr.. Burke
will be especially gratifying. For
more than twenty years we have been
most intimately associated in public
and private life, always standing
shoulder to shoulder, battling for
what we considered the interests Of
our state and country. Nearly a
year ago, to my surprise and disap-
p%ointment, he decided to quit public
life, but was drafted as a candidate
for the senate. He was the logical
candidate and the best man for the
place. The people demanded his
services and the people on Tuesday
next will elect him by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
The voters of this state have been
taught a lesson by the democrats of
the south and will. like our brethren
in solid democratic states, vote for
their own interests. The democratic
caucus. with an iron hand, controls
democratic legislation and the admin
istration of national affairs. The
democratic south controls the caucus
The result for two years has been
the most fragrant discrimination
against the best interests and welfare
of the north. A democratic senator
or representative from South Dakota
would be gagged and bound hand and
foot by the democratic caucus and
thus forced to submit to legislation
detrimental to III state. The bust
ness interests of democrats in ouI
