Bill killifer is virtually out of the
running. His arm has not improved
with treatment and there is little hope
of his ever catching again. Moran's
pitchers are going fairly well. but they
miss the support behind the bat which
Moran has no one in sight who can help
out his catching department.
The ability of George Burns the
Tigers first baseman. to make good in
the pinches has regained him his job
at first, where Heilman was stationed
for the first few weeks Of the season.
According to report. Burns case is
very peculiar First George was bench-
ed because he had habit of striking
out whenever a hit was needed. Then
Burns got another chance, and out OF
twenty-fou opportunities to drive in
advance runners George came to time
on seventeen occasions. A man who
can do that cannot be kept out OF the
game. and the boy from Tioga has the
first base job cinched for some time.
Bill Wambsganss, one of the Cleve-
land infelders. is playing great ball,
despite that one of his eyes is com
pletely closed because of All accident
with (which he met recently. 1t is his
right 'eye which is affected, and yet he
continues to hit and field like star.
Fohl intended to leave the big fellow
on the bench, but ne reckoned without
Wamby, who insisted on staying in the
game. He explained that it might
break up a winning combination to put
him out of the game, and Foil, taking
the tip, allowed him to play. and he did
his share to help the Indians to their
first victory in Boston.
Well, the Giants seem to have hit
their stride at last. Ever since they
have been in Pittsburgh they have en-
joyed a winning streak, having won
three straight from the Pirates. Poor
Jimmy Callahan is having lot of trou-
BILE these days. Just why Jimmy's
pitchers should fall down, after they
showed themselves to be ready to work,
is not easily understood. Callahan ex-
pected to clean up with the Giants, who
had gone SO poorly Ill spring.

they did, but so would any other team
which had such miserable pitching.
Macks team needs pitching of high

BREED THEATRE
Dawn and Owen Moore Starred by Famous Players in Adaptation of Great Drama-Continuous Perform ance Today from to ii p. m.

Today and tomorrow the Breed will present Owen Moore and Hazel Dawn in a picturization of the dramatic sen- sadon, Under Cover. a tive-part Para mount production.
 When Under Cover was presented to the public at the Cort theatre, it was a foregone conclusion that it would be one of the greatest successes of the season, because it had two great essential elementS-swift action and something distinctly unusual as it's main plot. For these same two req sons it was an equally toregone con- clusion, when the Famous Players Film company determined to make an adaptation of the new celebrated play. by Roi Cooper Megrue for the Para mount Program. that it would be an overwhelming success. And when Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore were chosen to head the cast of this dis tinctive production as their first CO., starring vehicle. the fact that some thing extraordinary, even for the FEa- nous Players. was to be produced be- came more than ever apparent
 The Breed also presents the Pathe Weekly and a very funny one-reeI comedy completes the bill for today and Tuesday. Today the Breed will have continuous performance from to Il p. m., and ali seats will be ten cents at all performances.

New York, Dec. 24-The arrival here toay of the Lamport and Holt liner Vauban from Liverpool by way of Halifax, brought no information con- cerning the fate of the missing steam ship Voltaire of the same line The Vauban left Liverpool ten days after the Voltaire sailed and it was hoped In marine circles that she might bring some word of the ship.
 Officers of the Vauban said they first learned the Voltaire was overdue when they reached Halifax. It was believed there that some accident to her ma chinery had delayed her and fear of attracting German submarines had prevented her from calling for help by wireless.
