will be remembered that Speaker, who
received a total of 900 last year,
including his share of the world s Sc
ries money, could do little or nothing
with the bat until early in the sum.
,meP. For that reason, Boston critics
and fans found much fault with him
until he began to hit the ball in such
a manner that he finished the SEASON
with an average of .322, the lowest
figures credited to him since 1909.
Speaker, in the world s series, went
to the bat II times and made five hits,
an average of .294, which was less
than the Boston fans expected.
''There IS no doubt that Lalnin,
who was held mp By Speaker in 1914
for two years contract, netting him
$4,000, was somewhat displeased when
the crack center fielder recently de-
clined an offer of $4,000 in salary.
Lannin reasoned that Speaker 5 de-
mands if granted would have created
ill-feeling among the other Boston
players, but it is true, nevertheless,
that Lannin would have agreed to a
compromise if the Cleveland club had
not come through with a genuine offer
of $4,000 for Speaker s release. Ian
min, it must be considered, spent 5000
600 to become the sole owner of the
club. That was more than two years
ago, yet he has made nothing out of
baseball. In fact, he would have st
$4,000 last year if the Red SOX had
not won the pennant. 1t is possible
that he intends to sell the club in the
near future, as he Is not in robust
health and has many other business
interests that require his time

LEWIS WINS FROM
BELGIAN CHAMPION
Tom Draak Proves Worthy Opponent,
. hut Goes Down Twice in Success
sion-Sman Crowd Present.

Ed Stranger Lewis. catch-as-
catch-can wrestling champion, made his
first appearance in Brattleboro last
evening in the Auditorium when he
threw Tom Draak, the Belgian cham
DioH. twice in succession, taking %
minutes to win the first fall and 10
before he slammed his opponent to the
mat for the second and final fall.
Just as had been predicted, the
match WAS the most spectacular since
the appearance here of Gerhardt. The
men were fast. They went from one
hold to another, at times with almost
lightning rapidity, and the display of
science was well worth the price Of adj
mission. The audience was very
small one and was Indicative. apparent
Nv, OF the attitude of the sporting fra
ternitv of the town towards wrestling.
There was not custom that Lewis
was present or that he had a reasonably
able opponent. That Lewis was the su-
pcrior in strength and in skin everyone
knew and no one expected Draall to
win, but il seems as If the presence OF
Lewis should have attracted a larger
crowd.
Lewis, like DR.. Roller, who is well
known to lOca! wrestling fans, Wres

and his muscles did not show in the
work of the match as did those undel

Draak having that honor. The famoa

5000. 900 Home For The Aged For
Twin Cities Planned.
At cost of 100000 a Home for the
Aged and a hospital for Jewish peo-
pie, accessible to Jews of the North
west, will be erected on site to be
chosen in the Merriam Park district.
A decision to erect the building was
reached Sunday when more than 100
Jews of the Twin Cities met at the ST.
Paul Jewish Home for the Aged rs
Wilkin street.
1t was at the suggestion Of Rabbi c.
David Matt of the Adath Yeshurun
synagogue, Minneapolis, that the Jews
of the Twin Cities decided to join in
the charitable project which will do
away with the necessity of each city
operating a similar institution. A larger
building, better service, better facilities
and more social enjoyment for inmates
will result.
A committee representing the Jewish
population of Minneapolis had been sent
East and an agreement has virtually
been made for an institution in the
Mill City. This plan will now be aban
doned A local architect will be
asked to prepare plans for the larger
building contemplated. In a few days

project will be appointed similar

l.. FEIGELMAN & CO., OPEN NEW
JEWELRY ESTABLISHMENT.

Lovers of exquisite, hand wrought
jewelry and novelties of precious met
ais, will be glad to learn that L. Feigel-
man & Co., are to open a retail store
at 522 Nicollet avenue, in connection
with their old established manufacture
ing business.
Mr.. Feigelman, who is the head of
the firm has been prominent in Min
neapolis as manufacturing jeweler and
designer for almost a score of years.
For sometime he has realized the need
of a retail store for the sale of his
productions, and yielding to the wishes
of many of his prominent patrons, has
decided to conduct a general jewelry
business.
The combining of the manufacturing
with the retail makes it particularly
convenient and desirable for the people
who desire something special either in
original design or for the altering of
any valuable piece of jewelry which
may have been handed down from gen
GRAFTON to generation.
Mr.. Feigelman is acknowledged as
one of the leading experts in the North
west and stands alone in his particular
field. He has specialized in original
mountings, platinum settings, and craft
work, and numbers among his patrons
the most prominent people in the Twin
Cities and the Northwest.
Special orders will be feature of
the new store. There will be a general
line of jewelry on display which has
been selected with the greatest care,
and the purchaser will always be sure
of finding the highest quality at a most
reasonable price.
Superior facilities and abundant ex-
perience enable the new firm to meet
the popular demands for something new
and different, and those who desire
work in platinum, as we'll as other
intricate work, will appreciate the SER
vice that is thus rendered in dealing
with the manufacturer direct.
The new store will open on Saturday,
October 21st, and thus Minneapolis will
have a retail jewelry establishment,
combined with a practical designer, that
have proven so popular in New York
and Chicago.

Alexander Pantages, often called the

venting crowding by the use of the

Gus vaudeville performance.
The formal opening has been set for
Sunday evening, when the usual first

and state officials, will be present to
formally greet the management and the
