GREAT VAUDEVILLE
SPECTACLE COMES
SOON TO POLI'S

1.-THE Forest Fire. which is de-
scribed as the most spectacular pro-
duction vaudeville has known. has
been engaged as a headline attraction
for the Poll theatres. beginning at
Bridgeport Oct. 4.
This act, Is offered by the Bidwell
Producing Company and was written
by Langdon Mccormick, who also
conceived and invented the wonder
full electric effects. AS is intimated
by the title, the big scene Is repro
ductton of a forest fire and this Is so
realistic that 1t is necessary to carry
a program note to assure the audience
that there is no danger. AS a matter
of fact, although the stage appears to
be mass OF smoke and flame, there
Is not a spark of real fire.
Leading up to the big spectacle,
there is dramatic story which is en-
acted by a company of g. dozen peo-
pie. The drama OF the cumberland is
told in three scenes and two tableux.
and special music has been written
to add to the dramatic effects.

TOWN HALL WINS
AQUEDUCT RACE.

New York, Oct. 3-"There's the
winner of the Farbor Hill exclaimed
many racegoers at the Aqueduct track
yesterday afternoon when w. R.
Goes Town Hall galloped home In
front Of big field of young jumpers
in the second race. The Harbor Hill
is the feature Of the Piping Rock AS
soctation's autumn meeting, and in
quest of the prize and fame that
goes to the victor practically every
sportsman of note on the turf has a
youngster in training for it.
It is for three-year-olds and yester-
days race was practically trial Ten
youngsters went to the post. All had
been in training through the field for
several, months and the trainer of
each was confident his youngster
win. Town Hall was the favorite.
He had raced before, and in his last
start had earned brackets by defeat
ing a good field. Including several old
er horses. Besides, Jerry Carroll,
the trainer who developed him, said
that he was improving every day and
told all his friends he would win. AS
a result Town Hall went to the post
at the short price Of to 10. And
he ran like an odds on favorite should
run. Although Med Henderson took
him over the overland route he won
with plenty to spare. To avoid acct
dents Henderson kept him away from
all his opponents and off the pace
which was set by J. q. Davis Melo-
drama until entering the stretch. Then
he gave his mount his head, and
Town Hall galloped to the front and
remained there to win by a length.
Melodrama finished second, by Is
lengths ahead of the Cleveland Sta
bTe's Russian Pinion.
For the first time since the meeting
began racegoers who make their wag-
ers according to past performances
had a gala day. Four favorites and
two heavily backed second choices
earned first honors

stretch, where he squeezed through on
the rail, and came on and won by five
lengths. Harry Shaw finished second.

WEST END.

Harold Lockwood with Anna Little
in Under Handicap Metro special
production in eight acts, from the
book by jackson Gregory, is the big
feature at the West End theatre in
State street near Clinton avenue, to-
day matinee and night.
One Of the most exciting moments
in Under Handicap shows Anna
Little as the heroine galloping on
horseback after swiftly moving
train. She leaps from her horse to
the platform of the observation car.
Two of the fastest horses ever used in
motion picture work were used in this
scene,> and the train which Miss Little
caught was going at the rate Of so
miles an hour. The clever actress
was fully competent to meet the ex-
acting demands made, upon her by
the necessities Of the picture.

FRED CLARKE, FORMER
PITTSBURGH MANAGER. is
IS YEARS OLD TODAY

Captain Kidd was bold, bad
buccaneer, and terrible tales are told
of aptain Morgan and his doings on
the Spanish Main, wherever that is,
but these two characters were tame
compared to Captain Frederick C.
Clarke, once the gifted leader of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. His buccaneering
days are over and he is raising things
on a farm in Kansas, with as much
effect as he used to raise something
else when he led the Smoky City
players to victory on the diamond.
Mr.. (we'l have to call him Mister
now Clarke will today celebrate his
45th birthday amid the spuds and
celery and pigs and cows in Kansas.
He was born Oct. 8, 1872, in Madison
county, Iowa, and was active in base
ball for over rs years, first as player
and then as manager.
Back in 1892. a youngster of 20, he
graduated from the back lots and
donned a uniform for the Hastings
Later in the same year he went to St.
Joseph, Mo-, where he played indie
pendent ball with such success as to
win place in the Memphis club of
the Southern League in 1898. Louis
League. got him in 1894, when he
made his big league debut.
He remained with the Colonies for
six years, and in 1900 went to Pitts
burgn as manager, playing outneld
positions, as he had done ever since
has entry into professional baseball
The very next year Clarke brought
home the bacon, and a National
Leagu pennant f1oated from the Pitts
burgh Flagstaff for the first time.
Clarke repeated in 1902, and in the
following year brought the third con-
secutive pennant to the Smoky City
For five years after that Pittsburgh
was f1agless, but in 1909 his efforts
were again crowned with success. In
1911, his last year as a player, Clarke
took part in 101 games, and finished
the season with a batting average of
.324, which is hardly what would be
called bad for an old man of SO.

Hans Wagner, the Terror of the Dia-

the close of this season, lays down
his bat and packs away his uniform

burgher ends the season, and with it
his career, with a batting average of
about .270, whereas formerly he never
was missing from the 800 class.
One of our foremost patriots, al
though he doesn't make atbig noise
about it, is Ban Johnson, the same
being president of the well known
American Lague. It now turns out
that the cash prize of $500 recently
won by the st. Louis Browns for the
best showing in military drill was
paid out of Bans own pocket, and not
out of the league funds. Furthermore
he slipped 800 to the army. drill SER

where it was believed that Baker
might take his farewell from the ma
jor leagues for all time. The fans
certainly would regret to see him go.
Napoleon Lajoie, whose Toronto

row, and that is, that he has never
played in a worlds series game, al
though he played in the major lagues
