The lesson in pre- paredness was strong and to the point. MT. Wardrop received an enthusiastic round of applause at the conclusion of his address.
 The musical program opened with the stWinter Song by the Columbia. quartet, Messrs. Pigott, Fisher. Parker and Hawk, which was vocif- erously encored.
 T. c. Roantree gave the audience a surprising treat in a whistling solo from "Cavallerta Rusticana.'' and had to respond to insistent demands for another. Miss Julia Sullivan sang My Cavalier with a charm that won for her a we'll merited and generous share of applause.
 As violinist, Mrs Ethel Wade Birnbaum ranks among the cleverest of musicians. Her delightful render ing of "Cavatina'' and "Obertass MazurEa'' was greatly enjoyed. The the weather clerk forgiven when Vic tor s. Wrenn sang "A Perfect Day. He had to sing again. A whistling solo, t'Napo1eon's Last Charge" by Miss F'rieda Pearson, accompanied by MT. Pigott on the piano, fairly brought down the house. The aud- fence entered into the spirit of the martial air and called the artist back again.
 The Columbia quartet brought the regular musical program to an end all too soon by "A Dream whereupon the audience shouted itself hoarse in the grand chorus "Remington,' parody on t'Harrigan," by Frank Braithwaite H. A. Hannum accom- panied the various numbers on the piano. It was a difficult task, artist ica1ly done. After the concert the evening. until midnight, was filled in by dancing.
 The only disappointment of the af- fair was the absence of John Calvin who was scheduled on the program to sing tThe Rosary MT. Calvin, who has a delightful baritone voice, is great favorite of the club and has al- out at its entertainments He was detained by a severe cold and was sincerely missed.

Tufts Team
to Come West

UNITED Press sensed Wireb
The Tufts college football
team of Medford, Mass, is
planning an invasion of the
Northwest and California this
fall, following the close Of
the regular season on the
gridiron, Thanksgiving day.
Tufts is negotiating for a game
in the Northwest, probably with
the Washington State college
lineup, and also for a game with
California and the University of
California.
The Medford eleven wants its
games in the Western section of
the country for the last three Sat
urdays of December. The Univer-
sity of Washington, Oregon and
w. S. c. are the teams which have
been offered dates with the East
erners, but Washington is out of
the running, as post-season con-
tests at Semitic are taboo.

They run from the very tony sort
to the kind where only the brave

But there is only one Spider
Kelly's." His is the best known
Joy plant in San Francisco.
Kelly's regular name is James
Curtin. But when he went %
rounds to a draw with Joe Cans
in the late nineties, Spider Ksl-
ly' was the name they put in the
record books. During a torrid
ring career, in which at times he
attained great heights, the desig-
nation Spider" became a COM

AS a fighter Spider Kelly"
was very clever and courageous.
But 1t was as a ring second that
he achieved a distinction unique
in annals of boxing.
Get me the Spider" was a

a match was made. 1.-THE Spider"

SO. TACOMACLUB
LOST in BLAZE:
REBUILD AT ONCE

Manager Karl of the football
team says that the fire will not
interfere with plans for Satlr-
days big game with the Tahoma
Athletic club. HIS men will prac-
tice each evening this week, even
though they will be handicapped
by lack of showers or dressing
rooms.
Saturday nights fire was a
mysterious one. No one noticed
the blaze until 1t had become dan
gerous. Although the South Ia
coma fire station is only two
blocks away, the fire had gained
such proportions by the time an
alarm was rung, that the firemen
were helpless to save the build
ing. A grocery adjoining the
club was also destroyed. The to-
tai loss is over $4,000.
No site for the new clubhouse
has been selected yet, but definite
plans will be completed by the
end of the week, it is believed,
and work on the new home will
start at once.

detailed plans for continuing the
operation of the club. Business
men of South Tacoma yesterday

for the erection OF a good club
house and gymnasium. The new

however, and only one of them
which had been left accidentally

ney Dreyfuss is making a deter

Wagner to accept the manage

Pittsburg president.
That Jimmie Callahan Will
leave Pittsburg and PROBABLY sue

Cubs is an open secret in Pitts
burg, and although there have
been many conjeetures on who
would step into Callahan's shoes
here, those best informed declare
Wagner will get the job II he will
accept it. They depend upon the
ancient friendship of Wagner and
Dreyfuss to bring this about.
Wagner has said In the
past that he will not accept
the job. Only last year when
Christy Matthewson signed
to pilot the Reds, Wagner
said he would never manage
hall team.

fellows to sit back and watch
games from the BENCH" Wagner
said, "but not for me. When I'm
through as a ballplayer, I'm

In Pittsburg there is talk OF
only two men for Callahan's
berth, Wagner and Fred Clark.
But II Is not thought likely here
Clark will be recalled.
There are many reasons for
Kagner's selection.
He has played baseball in Pitts
burg is years and Is the hero oil
