TRINITY CHOIR
SALAMAGUNDI PARTY.

The Salmagundi Party given by the
Trinity Choir Club in the Guild Hall
last Wednesday evening was very
jolly affair. An evening of games
was the plan followed, the players
progressing from table to table. The
games ranged from parchesi and
jack-stones to table baseball. The af-
fair furnished much pleasant socia-
bility and amusement, besides adding
materially to the account of the new
piano fund.

PAUL T. BRADY'S
FINE HENS EGGS.

The town of Palisade has become
much interested in the fine young
eggs that Paul T. Brady has been let
ting many of his friends sample.
These eggs come from his large dairy
farm up in Duchess county, N. Y.
They are laid by the many thousand
pullets he raises up there, and people
here have all been wondering what
the brand Of his hen-feed may be.
The truth is, these eggs are far alIt.
away the most toothsome and unusual
in point of quality that have ever
gone down the long red lane. They
possess a kind of peculiar flavor that
cannot be matched in other eggs. Of
course, there are other good eggs.
That point is not in dispute. 1t is the
peculiarly delicious bouquet that at
taches itself to the Brady eggs, how
ever he may lay them-that is, how
ever he may get them laid, order them
laid, seeks to have them laid, or what
not. 1t is not exactly an aroma that
is in Mr.. Brady's eggs, but some
thing close kin to it, because once
they come on the table, there is an
air of refinement to their looks, and
kind of something that leads one
to want to begin on them instantly
That they whet the appetite, goes
without saying. Once man eats Mr..
Brady's eggs, he must have more,
that's all. The chief point about this
egg story is that if you want to give
the Brady eggs trial, merely for
the asking, your orders have to be
put in in advance.
P. S. Mr. Brady says the way he
lays such eggs on his farm, is by
feeding the pullets on skimmed-milk
and grain that could be eaten on any
table. No wonder! That's the secret.

GROUND HOGS
SHADOW ABSENT.

1t was generally agreed on Tues
day, grounding day, February End,
that the weather was not such that it
was likely that he could have APP
peared. If he did, it cannot be that
the proverbial shadow had anything
on him. Consequently, the saying:
February second, bright and clear,
We'll have two winters in that year"
does not apply, and an early spring
will be in order.

COMEDY CLUB
CHARITY BENEFIT.
An Unusual Effort for the Relief
of the BOrOugh's UnempIOy-
ed the Comedy Clubs
recent SUCCESS.


"a Pair of Gloves" will again be
presented to the public on Tuesday
night next, February 10Th, at Grant
wood Fire Hall. The special occasion
for it's re-introduction at this time
is the real need which exists among
the less fortunate in the borough Of
the means of subsistence. The As
ISOLATED Charities of Cliffside Park
are In pretty accurate touch with the
conditions of unemployment now ex-
listing, and are enthusiastic at the
prospect of aid and relief which the
performance in question promises.
The Comedy Club, on their part,
welcome such an suspicious oppor-
tunity to devote their talents and art
to highly worthy end.
With this double incentive in view,
it is not to be doubted that Tuesdays
performance will be, from the point
of view of artistic effort and social
support, an event of more than ordin-
airy Importance and significance.
The supply of tickets, at the modest
price asked, fifty cents, has every in
dication of being exhausted before
the doors open on Tuesday night.
The performance will begin promptly
at quarter past eight

SYMPHONY SOCIETY
ORCHESTRA CONCERT.

The Symphony Society Orchestra
concert given on the evening of jan
uary 18th was most satisfying to the
goodly sized audience that braved the
wretched weather of that evening to
attend. 1t is no small task for an
orchestra, particularly one of anna
teurs, to play Beethoven Symphony
and weak spots are to be expected,
but they were astonishingly few-in-
deed the Symphony was rendered
with great precision and scrupulous
regard for tone shading. A novelty
in these parts was a trio consisting
of flute, violin and piano, by Messrs.
Smith and Jackson with Miss Mclean
at the piano. Both gentlemen are
skilled performers and played CAMS
Ecstacy very we'll indeed. The ever
popular Peer Gynt followed with the
two first numbers of the suite played
by the orchestra. The second part
Asses Death was exquisitely played.
After an intermission at which light
refreshments were served Messrs.
Berkey and Shorey played Dvorak's
Slavic Dance No. 16. Mr.. Shorey
with the violin, Mr.. Berkey the cello,
accompanied by Miss Mclean at the
piano. This was an interesting num-
Der and we'll rendered. Mrs. John
Alderman sang The Angels Seren-
ade with orchestral accompaniment.
In spite Of the fact that Mrs. Acker-
man had not recovered from recent
illness the Serenade was very artist
cally rendered. The orchestra played
the accompaniment a little too heav-
lily without enough regard for the pi-
anissimo effects. One of the best Sc
lections was fantasy called the Es-
quimaux Wedding, played with par
ticular delicacy and precision by the
orchestra.
1t was obvious to even the I'M
trained ear that the members of the
Symphony Society, led by Mr.. Acker
man, had lavished a great deal of
practice on the works presented, evil
denced by the ease and precision in
their playing and Mr.. Shorey, the
founder of the Society, is to be con-
graduated on having enlisted such a
group of earnest musicians from this
locality. Special attention should be
called to the always splendid playing
of Mr.. Geo. Abbott, clarenettist, and
the excellent accompanying of Miss
Dona Mclean, both of whom added
so much to the pleasure of the even
ing by their assistance. Too much
praise cannot be said about the new
Guild Hall in which the concert was
given. The transformation from it's
former unattractive appearance to the
present delightful interior with it's
dainty stage, the latter being most
artistic, calls for unstinted thanks to
those members of Trinity Episcopal
Church who have accomplished so
much in providing such an attractive
parish hall.

If there is such a monster In the realm
of baseball as the much-talked-of "jinx,"
1t follows In the wake of the club that
wins the worlds series toss for the first
game.
Under the present rules, begun In 1905,
there have been 10 worlds series. Eight
times the club in whose city the first
game was played has lost the champion
ship. Last year the Athletics won the
toss at the National Commission meeting
at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, when
President Gaffney of the Braves, failed
to call the turn.
1t appeared certain that the Athletics
would break the old Jlnx's back and win
In spite Of the handicap of having called
the toss of the coin. But they lost and
the Jinx continued to reign supreme
Only twice has the winner of the toss
captured the worlds series. In 1909 and
1910 the jinx must have been on a two
year vacation, for the Pittsburgh Pirates
defeated the Tigers after winning the toss
for the first game, and the Athletics re-
peated against the Cubs the following
year. Since that time the jinx has been
on the job and has run true to form.
The Phillies have always been bounded
by various species of the genus "Jinx,"
but this season they apparently have
shaken off the whole tribe. For this rea-
son 1t is hoped, believed and expected
that the Phils will overpower this win
ning-toss jinx and break a spell that has
stood since 1910.

BETS A PRIZE GOLDFISH ON PILLS
AGAINST A HORSE ON THE RED SOX
Many Other Freak Wagers Recorded-Barber Bets a
Years Shaves-Some One May Have to Wheel
His Friend About in Pushcart

The town IS on the verge of nervous
prostration.
Baseball bugs are betting everything
except their wives and sweethearts on
the result. And there will be some weird
scenes about town when the penalties
are paid.
A horse against a goldfish.
An automobile against a trip to the
Exposition.
A years shaves against two suits Of
clothing.
This is Just a sample Of the freak bets
which have been made. and there are no
end Of wagers involving energy and pub
lie humiliation. The horse-goldfsh bet
was made by NJ. w. Taylor, general man
ager of the Zimmerman theatrical enter
prises, and Norman Jefferies, Of the Real
Estate Trust Building.
Mr. Taylor is a connoisseur on gold
fish, and has them from all parts of the
world His prize specimen is Bessie, one
of the classiest goldfish in existence,
and Just as smart as she is good-looking.
She has won a number of blue ribbons at
vaEious piscatorial exhibitions and has
an international reputation of the 1S-karat
variety. So confident is Mr.. Taylor that
the Phillies will win four out of five
games in the series, that he has offered
his prize fish against Sporting Duchess"
a nimble trotter owned by Mr.. Jeffertes.
The latter also believes that the Phillies
will land the series, but thinks they Will
do so by the margin of only one game.
While 1t seems great odds to put up
horse against fish, Mr.. Jefferies said

he did so because he was sure the contest
would be very close struggle
Inc automobile Exposition bet was made
by william Knecht, travelling salesman,
OF Ath and Walnut streets, and Joseph
Harris, of 40th and Spruce streets
Knecht is for the Phils, while Harris is
rooter for Boston.
Joe Bracchio, of SD and Vine streets,

against two suits of clothes on the

wager was taken up by Harry Connell,
OF 53d and Market streets. William Will
son, OF 34th and Aspen streets, bet Frank
Donnelly, of Oak Lane, 300 ham sand
wiches that the locals would win out
There are no end of energy wagers
Two prominent members of the Young
Republican Club have agreed to ride each
other in a pushcart on the first rainy
day after the series II their favorite club
loses. 1t is required that the loser shall
also wear a dress suit In order that no
one will miss the exhibition.
And a West Philadelphia clergyman,
who is strong for good sport, bet his
wife FIVE gallons of ice cream against
a barrel of oysters that the Phils would
run away with the series.
There will be peanut-pushing victims
galore propelling the nut with a handy
crowbar around public places.
Two prominent men about town, who
are somewhat bashful in public, will be
required to give a recitation in a local
theatre-the one who loses his bet will.
A local manager has agreed to permit
the payment of the wager in his theatre.
He is assured of big business, no matter
which way it goes.

FIVE FORMER TEXAS
LEAGUE PLAYERS IN
BIG SERIES GAMES
Killefer, Dugey, Adams, Speak
er and Foster Played in
Lone Star State
Organization
THREE ARE PHILLY MEN

Five baseball players who obtained
their preparatory instruction in the Texas
League-four stars, who graduated from
Class baseball in Texas and journeyed
to the far North and East to play on
the big time-will take part in the worlds
championship series starting here today.
Iris Speaker and George Foster will
represent the Texas League in the Red
sox lineup. while Oscar Dugey, Jack
Adams and Bill Killefer will grace the
roster Of the Phillies.
Owing to his long term of service in
the big time, Speaker probably is the
best known OF the quintet. He has been
playing in the American League so long
that his name has become recognized as
a by-word for speed and efficiency
Speaker is a Texas product. having
been born and reared in Hubbard City.
During his youth he had the enviable
reputation of being able to throw a rock
farther than any other boy In the COM
munity, and his excellence along this line
has won him laurels in the outffelder's s
ranks of the big leagues. He played CEN
tire field on the Houston team two years,
virtually setting the Texas League
"afire," and from there went to Little
Rock, in the Southern Association. He
team after one years service with the
Arkansas club.
Klllefer developed into another fire.
eater when he came to Texas. He is a
native of Michigan, and was brought to
this State by Coach Disch, now of Texas
University, and ran wild in college base
ball circles as a member of the st. Ed
wards College club.
His first professional engagement was
with Houston. He was drafted from that
team by the st. Louis Browns, but failed
to make good on his first try-out and
was farmed out. Shortly afterward he
was purchased by the local club, and for
three years has starred behind the bat
for the Phils.
Oscar Dugey. utility man for the Phil
lies, might be said to be Josh Devore's
only rival when 1t comes to luck. Dugey
has been in the big leagues only two
years, and this will make his second ap-
pearance as a member OF a team con-
tending for the worlds championship.
Last year he was with the Boston
Braves, and figured In the big money
when that team won the championship.
He was traded after the series to Phila-
delphia, and although not playing a ma
jority OF the games this season. his work
as utility infielder has evoked favor
able comment.
George Foster, one OF the nainstays of
the Red Sox pitching stan, also went up
from Houston, which team furnished
three Of the five men who will represent
the Texas League in the worlds series
this year.
He was too fast for Glass b company,
and at the end OF the 1912 season he was
drafted by the Red Sox, with whom he
stuck from the beginning.
Adams came east from the Lone Star
State to the Giants and he came here IN
trade last fall.

WORLDS CHAMPIONS
TO TAKE COAST TRIP
President Tener Agrees to Pro-
posal for Games at
Exposition

The worlds champion baseball team,
whether 1t be the Red Sox or Phillies. is
reasonably certain to take a trip to San
Francisco. This was indicated today
when President Tener said the National
Commission undoubtedly would give per-
mission to the club winning the worlds
series to make the trip to the coast.
Bill Lang, representing the Coast Com
mission endeavoring to get. the trip
through, is expected here at any time.
Upon his arrival he will meet with the
National Commission and formally put
the proposition before It.
No details have yet been taken up, but
It was stated that practically the only
thing to be decided was whether the los
ing team Of the worlds series or a picked
team from the National and American
Leagues would oppose the champions in
the coast games.
With permission OF the National Com
mission assured, only the assent of the
winning clubs president is necessary.

BIG ODDS NOT OFFERED BY
MEN WILLING TO WAGER
Few Bets Placed on Boston at Odds
More Than to 5

There was bulge in the pockets of
scores Of fans who stood in line today
waiting to buy tickets for the bleachers
at the Phillies grounds, at Broad and
Huntington Streets. 1t was the practical
symbol that the fans were in back of
the Philadelphia team.
That bulge was caused by large rolls
not going in the bleachers because they
wanted to be economical.
The moneyed ones did not hold their
rolls very long. Soon they made their
way from the pockets of the owners to
the pockets of Stockholders. The Ma
tional League rooters needed no urging
to bet.
For there was no lack of confidence
that the Phillies would win the opening
game. The predictions of big odds on the
Boston team proved to be mere talk whom
the day for the first contest arrived.
There were few bets placed on Boston at
odds of more than to 5.
Odds of to ) on the home team were
given by many. A few were so confident
that they gave to /.
Those who bet on the Phils were con-
fdent they had a good thing. They felt
the best chance of capturing the opening
contest.
The supporters of the Phillies are plac-
ing their hopes in Grover Cleveland Alex
ander. hurler extraordinary. This, with
the fact that the Phillies are on their
home ground and know the lay Of the
land perfectly, is what they count on
TO turn the balance In favor of the Phils.
The same confidence on the Phillies
capturing the series is not being mani
tested. But then, despite the much-pro-
claimed superiority of the Boston pitch
ing staff and outfield, the rooters from
the Hub are not willing TO risk money
at big odds that their team will win
Outside the grounds, among the thou
sands who waited in line for the bleach
ers to open, betting on the series was
little better than evens.
II the hackers of the National Leaguers
are confident OF winning the games In
this city, they are not SO sure about
the games in Boston. Odds for the games
next week are being asked and obtained
The prevailing figure today was 1O-s,
but few bets were placed, for the fans
believe this figure will rise.
Freak bets were placed by many men
in the hotels. Injuries 10 players. the
weather, the attendance, the position OF
the umpires all were the subject of hnan-
cial speculation.
The weather was the subject OF most
OF the freak bets. Early In the day odds
OF 20 were given that no game would
be played. The appearance OF the sun,
however. caused the fans who made such
a bet 10 retrench and seek takers on the
other side 10 cover their money.
In the Bellevue-Stratford, one man
made a big wager that some one would
be hurt during the series, He gave odds
of 100 TO 5-dollars. not cents-and he
found a man more than willing TO take
his bet.

SUPERSTITIOUS2 NO, INDEED;
NOT MORAN OR CARRIGAN
Neither Leader of Worlds Series Con-
tenders Believes in Jinx

Columns were written this time a year
ago about the superstition OF Manager
Stallings. Of the Braves This year that
system of publicity has to be abandoned
because neither Moran nor Carrigan is
superstlous. It Is really rare thing TO
find two such matter OF fact leaders
directing the play in the baseball classic.
Manager Moran had a superstition
throughout the National League race, but
he declares that Il is the only time in
his life that he believed In anything of
this sort His superstition was that Il
would cost the Phillies the pennant II he
predicted a pennant for the Phinies.
Even when the Phillies needed but one
victory TO clinch the pennant with air

ODDS ON SERIES DEPEND
ON RESULT OF FIRST GAME
Teams on Even Basis Until After
Today's Contest

Until the result OF today's game the
probable outcome of the worlds series is
a $3.50 proposition. IN the opinion Of J. O.
o'Leary, Of the Boston Globe.
The Red sox appear TO be a slight
favorite with those who are willing to
back their opinions as TO which will win
with the coin OF tho realm. but these
people are not willing to offer such odds
as they would have been willing to give
week ago.
There is not much money in sight in
support OF the Phillies, for those who
might feel inclined to back them arc
waiting to see what Alexander will do
against the Red Sox in the opening
game, and how his teammates are going
to back him up.
Alexander undoubtedly is Moran's one
best bet in the pitching problem. n he
goes right-and there is not much doubt
about this-he undoubtedly will be sent
back for the opening game in Boston
on Monday next. He then could, IN a
pinch, go in again in the NTH game,
which Is TO be played in Philadelphia on
the following Wednesday
