A DANGEROUS BUSINESS

Three years ago the past July &ere occurred on the famous battle Ed of Gettysburg a reunion of the 8ue and the Gray. The men who light on the union side in the war
 tween the states met and communad Eth the men who fought in the con- ree full days, and for one week pre- us to that time and one week later Ely corners and late goers paraded Pir blue and gray uniforms through
 streets of old Gettysburg town around the great battlefield It s the greatest celebration of it's
 d that ever took place on the soil Hany nation; it never happened be- #e, 1t may never happen again. Be- hse the battle of Gettysburg was : ght by boys the survivors were en-
 led to come back and clasp hands
 1T the scene of conquest. The old
 man there was in the late eighties; < youngest was sixty. Those who
 messed the gathering of those 75,-
 veterans thought they saw the
 ulding of the bonds that finally # ted the North and the South.
 Now, three years after the great re-
 on at Gettysburg in 1913 there has
 sen a crop of political orators who
 Eng forth the bloody shirt issue that
 been dead for more than half a
 tury and buried for more than lee years. The men of the North #o met their compatriots from the

BRIEF BALL GAMES

Nine-inning pastines pulled off in less than an hour are rather rare, but not quite so scarce as hens molars. The first game of this kind was pulled off in Dayton, O.. thirty-two years agd today, when Dayton and Ironton hustled through a regulation contest in forty-seven minutes. That was con- sidered a very remarkable perform ance, and would be yet, for. that mat ter, although the game is much faster now than it was in 1884.
 In the early days of baseball-the era of big scores-it was by no means unusual for pastime to drag out through three or four hours. The classic of that kind was staged at Car rollton, Ky, in 1868, when game commenced at 10 in the morning was called on account of darkness in the late evening, with only seven innings played!
 San Francisco and Oakland equal led the Dayton record for brevity in 1893. In 1909 an American profes- sional club touring Japan defeated a college nine in Tokio in forty minutes. The professional record was set up in Atlanta just six years ago today, Mo- bile defeating the home club 2 to 1 in thirty-two minutes. Chappelle was in the box for the victors, and Griffin twir1ed for Atlanta. Mobile got six hits and Atlanta five. The score was tied in the ninth inning, when Mobile got over the winning run.

EVILS OF DRINKING ARE PORTRAYED BY
 DEVILS HARVEST

The evils of intemperance, it's dis ruption of home ties and the subse- quent sufferings entailed by it's use are vividly portrayed in ''The Devils Har- vest" a drama now being shown at the Lyric theatre.
 The show, which is in reality a ser mon of great moral uplifting influence, Is written by Edward E. Rose and the cast throughout Interpreting his ideas on the much-discussed subject of in temperance admirably carried out their parts.
 The play opens with a young news paper editor expounding his ideas on prohibition to the sister and husband of his sweetheart whose home is ideal, and who view him as a crank. The town in which they live goes wet" and the Husband opens a cafe with his partner. Then things commence to happen.' N
 The play mounts rapidly to a tragic climax in the third act ending in a double shooting by the (drink-crazed husband and his business partner. The latter shoots his own son, who is suf- fering from temporary loss of mind, the result of a debauch.
 In the fourth act everything, how ever, assumes favorable turn, the clouds are dispersed and then-well, go and see 1t. / That is the only way to get a proper idea of the dramas ex- cellence.

Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., Sept. 19- Jack Eddy, a substitute halfback from last years Princeton eleven, is show ing up we'll in the Tigers preliminary practice, and from all indications a permanent berth will have to. be found somewhere behind the line for him. The coaches have him working at quarterback at the present time, but he carries the ball so we'll that he probably wul be shifted to halfback position I1efore the practice progresses much further.
 Eddy also has been kicking well and probably will do the bunting for the team this year if anything happens to Driggs. priggs has been hoisting the ball in nidseason form, averaging from 55 to 60 yards on all of his kicks.

Etiquette.

The very high sounding word eti- quette had a very humble origin, for etiquette meant simply a label. It de- rived its present meaning from the fact that Scotch gardener who had laid out the grounds at Versailles for Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the courtiers walking over, his newly made paths and at length had labels placed to indicate where they might walk. At first these labels were ignored, but a hint from high quarters that in future the walks of the courtiers must be within the "etiquettes" or labels was promptly attended to. To keep within the 'ietiquettes' came to mean to do the correct thing.

Two of our presidents have delivered farewell addresses. Under date of Sept. IT, 1796, Washington issued farewell address in anticipation of his retirement the following March. It was chiefly the work of Washington and Hamilton, though portions of it were taken from a draft prepared by Madison at Washington's request when, the latter had expected to retire at the end of his first term. A farewell ad dress was also issued by President An. drew Jackson on March 3, 1887, the last day of his official life.

"A Baseball Record.

One man in baseball history placed himself in the hall of fame by deliver ing just one ball, calling for probably only q few seconds actual partfcipa- tion in the game.
 He was Manager Childs of the Ports mouth (O) team.
 In game with Marion June 20, 1910, Childs went into the box and pitched one ball. It resulted in triple play, and Childs got credit, of course. for pitching an entire inning with one heave, the only time it has ever been accomplished. Chicago Herald.

PLAZA.

Living up to all that was vouch- kd for it in the advance notices, "The Wolf Woman" was given it's initial presentation at the Plaza yesterday to the largest crowds of the season. Aouise Glaum has the title role in the piece which is of the Triangle brand and she is ably supported by stellar cast of favorites including Charles Ray, Howard Hickman, Wyndham tStandishs and many others.
 The plot Is in. many respects a , counterpart of Kipling's immortal "A FooL There Was but is much more forceful and\ convincing than either the stage or screen version of the lat ter piece. Miss Glaum as the siren whose velvet claws weave the web from which even strong minded men cannot escape, is superb. Charles Ray is even better than in his pre- vious effort along the same lines in "Home" while the other players are most favorably cast. The picture is in five acts.

THE PEERLESS LEADER

Frank Chance, who has been striv- ing this year to win back his reputa- ton as '"The Peerless Leader" by pilot ing the Los Angeles Seraphs, will pass his thirty-seventh milestone today. When Chance left the Yankees in the fall of 1914, after a vain attempt to build up a pennant-winning club for the metropolis, he asserted that he was through with baseball for all time. When he passed through the imposing portals of Cub Ranch At Glendora, Cal, it was thought that he was lost to baseball. The ex-leader of the Cubs and Tanks had invested his money wisely in the real estate of his native California, and had plenty to live on for the remainder of his life. The lure of the old game was too strong for him, however, and when he was offered the management and part own ership of the Angels early this year he fell for it. He has kept bis club out in front most of the time since the sea- son opened, and, while, he has strong competition for the Coast League hon. ors, he has already demonstrated that his old qualities of leadership have not deserted him. ~
