is to be sixty seconds from Broadway
two blocks from Long Acre Square. It
is to be on the top of a twenty-story
building. The roof has been leased by
Earl Carroll, the song writer, and he
will erect a six-room bungalow with two
baths. He will have a garden and he
will also have a barn in which will be a

New York, Aug. l6-Wells Hawks has
become the literary director for Mary
Pickford which is a new way of saying
that the versatile Hawks will write pretty
pieces about the film star for eager edi-
tors who seem to be more or less interest
ed in every little thing she does.
Miss PickfOrd has opened up a little
studio of her own on West Fifty Second
street right opposite a public school. l
happened to drop in on Hawks the other
afternoon at Mary's studio.
Usually calm and peaceful. he was in
a flutter of excitement. He took me
around to the side of the studio. See
those kiddies?' he pointed. There is an
iron gate in the rear of the studio that
enters on to the street.
The school children had their faces
pressed up against the bars. They were
waiting for Mary to come home to get
one peep at her in real life. After about
a half houg Miss Pickford came in the
front way and she was told of the crowd
waiting for her.
She went out to the back door and
waived to them. Come on out we want
to see you" said one boy. bolder than
the rest. Miss Pickford walked out to
the iron bars.
There was a chorus of excited gasps
Now" said one little girl, would you
mind doing a little acting for US, Miss
Mary?'' But Miss Mary had fled.
The theatrical managers are getting
ready for their great winter drive. Seven
new productions have already appeared
on Broadway and six more are scheduled
for the coming week.
Those who claim to know along the
RialtO declare that the next season will
be good year for musical shows. Prob
lem plays. they believe. will be passe.
People are tired of sobs-they want
light and laughter. Just the same several
managers are planning plays that are
brimmins with sObs and they expect to
get away with them.
Just recently Frank Casey. Of Golfers,
and r. VI. Briukcrhoff, a cartoOnist. went
out on the road with circus for two
weeks. They wanted to get atmosphere"

one of the attractions of the circus
was The Iron Jawed' woman. Before
.cTowds daily she lifted a horse with her
teeth. Casey was very much interested
in her from a purely scientific standpoint
and was much in her company.
Also, it is said that she became inter-
csted in Casey-but not from any scien-
tific standpoint. Anyway, the circus folk
began good naturedly to chide Casey. He
stood up under it well-until one evening
Brinkerhof remarked that the iron.
jawcd wonder appeared to have such an
.affeCtionate disposition. wouldn't it be
strange" he mused, IF The Iron Jawed
Woman should have an uncomfortable
impulse to bite you on the neck?''
The next day Casey had some sort of
an uncomfortable impulse, for he left the

TANKS RETAIN
 3RO PLACE BY THRILLING RALLY

New York, Aug. 24-In a wild and thrilling finish the Yankees wrenched the last game of the series from the Quivsring grasp of the White Sox at the Polo Grounds yesterday and turn ed defeat into victory. The score was s to 4.
 One thing may truly be said about the Donovan clan. They are game. A team may get . big lead on them, but no enemy has them beaten until the last man is out. When the last half of the eighth inning arrived yesterday the count was 4 to 1 in favor of Chi cago. and the home fans were feeling as gloomy as the rainy skies. In that half frame the Tanks made four runs after twoymen were out. and the root CTS are not through shouting yet
 Magee had flied to centre and Weaver had thrown High out at first. Then Peckinpaugh came through with a single Fritz Maisel was hustled out from the coop to bat for Gedeon. Rus sell must have thought that Fritz, like Achilles, was vulnerable only in the heel. for that is where he plugged him with the ball. Maisel was in KI90L Q8lu uutll uo was sure ll0 uAih- pire would permit him to limp to first. after which he proceeded to that bag with all the agility of a jack rabbit.
 Oldring drew base on balls and the sacks were loaded. A wild pitch scored Peck and moved up the other runners. Right here Clarence Row. hnd decided that Russell was not the man for the job and a hurry call was sent out for Faber. Mullens was the first man to face the new moundsman.
 He hit measly little grounder to Weaver and Buck smiled broadly as he gathered in the ball and carefully shot 1t to first for an easy out. The leather, wet from the rain, landed squarely in Fournier's mitt and. hop ping gaily out again. continued on it's way. to the stand. Maisel and Oldring scored and Mullen reached third be- fore the sphere was recovered.
 Baumann walked and Pipp, who had been nursing sore foot, batted for Walters. He singled, scoring Null len with the winning run. That Is the history of the great rally which kept our boys in the running and prevented the Red Sox from gaining another game on them
 Mogridge started in the box for the Tanks but Fisher succeeded him in the sixth.

 The Brooklyn fans are backing Cal lahan to beat Ad. They believe Calla- han is the best lightweight and that he has been unjustly ignored in New York beoS use he fought all his fights in the West. There, he stopped Joe Rivers, Jack Reed, Ralph Grunan and beat Dundee, Rocky Kansas, Johnny Harvey, Benny Palmer and several others. He had Joe Mandot on the floor for nine when the bell came to the latter's rescue.

Chicago, Aug. 24-The offer of John J. McGraw, leader of the Giants, to give Laughing Larry Doyle and a. bundle of cash for Heinie Thinner man, the temperamental third base man, was refused by Charles weesh- man, owner of the Chicago club yes- terday.
 McGraw arrived here yesterday and was not long in getting in touch with both Weeghman and Joe Tinker Tie three held a long conference in Weeghman's office, but McGraw was unsuccessful in his efforts to land the Bronx boy for his team.
 However, there is still a chance of Zimmerman becoming a member of some other team after the way he played against the Robins yesterday. He let three ground balls get by him, and after falling down on Olson's grodnder in the eighth, the crowd yelled for Tinker to take him out. McGraw is still here. and it is re- ported that he and Weeghman will meet Tinker again.
 Heinie was fined $50 by Tinker for his indifferent playing against the Robins.

 CONTEST FOR TENNIS TITLE
Mclaughlin, Johnston, Williams and Kumagae
 Are FavOrites For National Championship.

New York, Aug. 24-The seth an- nual championship tournament of the United States National Lawn Ten his Association which will be played on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hill, L. l., beginning next Monday will bring together the leading racquet wielders of the coun- try. The famous experts of the Pa cific Coast the South and the Middle West will match speed and skill against the best of the Eastern stars and on the eve of the tournament the leaders appear to be so evenly match ed that there is no outstanding favor ite for the singles championship now held by William M. Johnston of San Francisco.
 Chief interest will likely centre in the efforts of Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the greatest tennis player ever devel- oped in this country, to capture out right the mammoth silver bowl, em- blematic of the singles championship. This trophy, the eighth offered since the formation of the Tennis Associa- ton in 1881, has been in competition since 1911 and must be won three times, but not necessarily in success sion, in order to become the personal property of the victor. The present standing of the players who have won legs on the bowl Is as follows: Mau- rice E. Mclaughlin, San Francisco, two wins; R. Norris Williams. End, Philadelphia, one; William M. Johns- ton, San Francisco, one; w. A. Larned, New York, one.
 Larned, who has retired from the tournament play, won the title and bowl in 1911. Mclaughlin captured the trophy in 1912 and 1913. He was defeated in the final round by Will jams at Newport in 1914 and by Johnston at Forest Hills last August. In order to fight his way into the finals next week the California Comet must defeat a number of very high class players for his name was drawn in the lower half which contains majority of the leading stars of the

 TENNIS SURPRISE IN SOUTHAMPTON

Southampton, N. r., Aug. 24- Joseph J. Armstrong, Pennsylvania State champion for 1915, has a habit of springing surprises. A few weeks ago he defeated Ichiya Kdmagae, the Japanese champion. Yesterday, in the<fourth round of the invitation tennis tournament of the Meadow club, he defeated Theodore Roosevelt Pell. The score was 5-7, 6-2, 6-2.
 Pell is No. on the national rank ing list, while Armstrong has a place in the second ten. Yesterday the Philadelphian played after the man ner of one well intrenched in the first flight. His chop strokes more than offset the advantages which accrued to Pell through his back hand, which is said to- be the best in the world.
 Armstrong is well named. His arm is strong, but he conserves his strength. Instead of banging away at the ball he places it with the min imum of effort and the maximum of result. He imparts great deal of English" to the ball and employs a deceptive change of pace Yesterday he did all this and did it well1 He had Pell on the defense and almost
 
 Armstrong moved into the round before the semi-final as the result of his victory. The seven other surviy- ing players are R. Norris Williams. 2d., holder of the national champion ship in 1914; William J. Clothier, champion in 1906; Roland Roberts, the California youngster; Watson M. Washburn, winner of last seasons tournament; Richard Harte, of liar yard; Harry S. Parker and Francis T. Hunter of Cornell.
 Williams failed to show to his best advantage and in the second set of his match with Fred c. Baggs was taken to extra games by the veteran. He played we'll within his reserve throughout, but again failed to revert to the form which enabled him to win the national title from Maurice Mclaughlin two years ago. The fin al score was 6-3, 7-5.
 Fourth round-Watson W. Wash burn. New York. defeated Joseph A. Richards, New York, 60, 6-4.
