JOHN DREW TELLS
ABOUT HIMSELF
Talks at University Club on the
Limitations of the Widest
Fame.
PLAYS THE MODEST VIOLET

John Drew ably enacted the role Of
the modest violet" in a speech at
the University club at noon yester-
day.
Being both great and OF mature
years, John can realize the limita-
tions Of even the widest fame.
He spoke just eight minutes, told
two stories, smiled the John Drew
smile and stroked the John Drew
jaw in the John Drew manner.
1T is good thing for a thespian to
realize his own comparative unimport-
ance, no matter how big his name is on
the electric sign" he said. Joseph JEFF
ferson first taught me that. He told me
that in the late COS he had just made
his first big hit in Rip Van winkle.' He
was stopping at the Fifth Avenue hotel
One evening a gentleman got into the
elevator with him. He was a short,
stocky gentleman with a brown mus
tache
Good evening, Mr.. Jefferson said
this man. Are you playing in New York
now?'
I'm view of the fact that he had been
playing for 100 nights Mr.. jefferson be-
lieved the country was ringing with his
name, and he resented this apparently
unimportant PERSONS ignorance OF his
fame. Sc he merely replied with a cold
Yes, sir
The gentleman got out at the next
floor and jefferson then said to the ele-
vator operator:
'"Who was that man?'
Why said the elevator man, that
was General Grant,"
Drew told Of a similar experience which
happened to him at reception in Lon
don
II was introduced to an elderly gentle
man. he said. Il didn't catch his name.
He was great talker, but finally became
somewhat boresome. When finally

Drink Water to

Sanitary science has OF late made rapid

recommendation that It is as necessary
TO attend to internal sanitation OF the

feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the
sluices OF the system each morning and
flushing out the whole OF the internal
poisonous staenant matter.

teaspoonful OF limestone phosphate in II

ASKS PRIORITY RIGHTS

Omaha Presbytery to consider carefully
the proposed grant for the Parkvale Pres

Board Fails to Reverse the
Decision of Forfeit Game

All is in readiness for the opening Of the
post-season series today between Southern
Auditors of the Terminal R. r. Y. NJ. c.
a. League and the Treasury Club of the
Government League. on the Terminal
grounds east OF Union Station. Jimmy
Hughes, the well-known local umpire, who
has handled the games in the Rosedale
League during the second series, will
oficiate at this contest. This game will
start at 5:15 p. m.
The list OF eligible players of each team
in the series will be drawn up at a meet
ing on Monday night. while the Board
of Governors will appoint the umpires
for the remaining games in Section B,
and the umpires for Section A, at a
meeting today.
Quite a little protest was heard when
President Cooley. of the Rosedale League,
asked permission to play off two sche-
duled games of the league in order to
make two players eligible. The officials
of the board could reach no decision
on this matter, and il is believed that
the managers of the Rosedale League will
order the Gibraltar and Rosedale team
to continue to play in its play-off series
in order to make these players eligible.
These games will no doubt be played
this afternoon and Sunday morning.
