Portland Eaters Helpless Before Pitching of Walker and Weaver

New Haven, Aug. 22.-New Haven experienced no difficulty in trouncing Portland in both ends of yesterdays double header at Savin Rock. The Murlin captured the opening contest to and followed up their ad- vantage by bagging the final sketch, 10 to 1. Fred Walker, the iron man. held the opposition to three scattered hits in one game, while Harry Weav- CT, future Cub, yielded but five safe ties in the other. Both games were featured by the hard and timely clout- ing of the locals who pounded Spaid and Martin with grace and ease. Red Torphy returned to the lineup after an absence of several weeks, but was forced to retire late in the second game after being hit by a foul ball. He is expected to be back in the game again today. # 3

 ner in Feature Event.
 Philadelphia, Aug. 2z.-All three events on the second days card of the Grand Circuit race meting at Belmont Park yesterday were decided in straight heats. North Spur, Ben Ali. and Baceln took their respective events in handy fashion. although there were close finishes in the 2:10 pace, which furnished . track record for an open pacing race of 2:04 in the second heat.
 Local interest centered in the 2:20 trot for the Directors stake of $1 900, the entries being owned at present or at the time of entry by local horse winner at Cleveland last Friday, owned by Joseph Mclaughlin of this city and driven by Cox, won handily.
 The 2:10 pace for the Adelphia Ho- tel stake of $3.000 had only six start CTS, but was hotly contested. Ben Ali was the favorite, and justified the choice by winning in straight heats.

Frank Bakers timely slam to right field with l two out carried Donovan's men t6 victory over the Tigers, to 1.

PLAN CELEBRATION
 MOVIE ANNIVERSARY
History of Epoch Making Eentertain. ment Business Extends Back
 Only for Quarter Century.

Chicago, Ill.,, July 1S.-A proposal
 for suitable celebration next year of
 the silver jubilee of twenty-fifth an
 niversary of the birth of the nation picture industry is under considera.
 tion by the Motion Picture Exhibitors League of America, now holding its annual convention in this city. It is argued that such a celebration would be of general interest, since no amuse- ment the world has known ever com pared in popularity with the photo play.
 It was in 1893 that Thomas A. Edi-
 son. by aid of the flexible film, gave
 to the world the first exhibition of mo- tion photography It was this inven- tion, which MT. Edison called the Kline. toscope, that made possible the big
 spectacle and photoplays which repre- sent the great achievements of mo- tion picture production today.
 More or less successful attempts at motion photography had been made many years earlier. The "phasma- trope," invented in 1870, consisted of a series of glass-plate positives which were projected upon screen. This was followed, in 1882. by the inven- tion of camera by pr. E.J. Marcy of
 France. which was the embryo of la terday motion picture cameras.
 The necessity Of using glass plates, however, hampered these inventions

and prevented them from coming into practical use. It was not until East
 man and Walker, in 1885, devised the flexible film that real progress was
 possible. MT. Edison, who already had
 given considerable time to efforts to
 improve motion photography, immedi-
 ately saw the possibilities of the flex- ible film and was the first to use it in the motion picture camera.
 In 1894 Alexander Black presented the initial moving picture play realiz- ing in a crude way the principles of the photoplay of today. Then came the Contematography which was based on Edison's Kinetoscope; followed in 1895 by Edison's Kaleidoscope and Vita scope. The Cinematograph was the first motion picture exhibition to awaken popular interest and enthusi- Iasm both here and abroad. After the Cinematograph came the much super for Biograph and the Vitograph.
 Commencing with the year 1901 when stage folk without remuneration, commenced to pose for the motion pie ture camera, motion pictures became a popular amusement-thef five-cent theatre came into being and regular theaters seized on the movies as an attraction.
 It was not until ten years ago, how ever. that the silent drama of today was born through the realization that stories of fact and fancy could be vis- ualized on the screen. Scenarios were written and regular actors and act resses employed to interpret them, though the idetity of the players was not disclosed nor was any attempt made to trade on the publicity value period came the adoption of the word photoplay and the building of palatial motion picture theaters in all parts Of the country At about the same time the galaxy of motion picture stars be- gan to develop, leading in conpar- lively short time to the payment of salaries to the most popular of the movie actors and actresses many in excess of the remuneration re- ceived bv the best known players of the speaking stage.
 The approach of its silver jubilee finds the motion picture an accepted factor in educational work and an en- tertainment that no longer makes it's appeal only to certain classes. The premier performance of an important picture is now ranked with the ''first night" of drama on the stage. Like wise in its appeal to the more popu~ lar taste the photoplay has reached far beyond the dreams of even a few years ago.
 Motion picture houses are now to be found in every part of the world, even in the war trenches of Europe. In China, Japan, India and Persia, the

HOOVER HITS SPECULATOKS.

In his admirable letter to Presi- dent Wilson of July 10, Herbert Hoover hits the mi. on the head prices are unnecessary and are baNd when he declares that much of our high prices are unnecessary and are based on speculation
 "The producer" ne says. received an average of $1.5O a bushel for the 1916 wheat harvest: yet wheat has been as high as $3.25 in Chicago. and the price of flour has been from time to time based on the the speculative price of wheat, so that through one evil cause Or another the consumer has suffered from 30 per cent to 100 per cent and the producer gained nothing."
 In normal times speculation does two. tthings. It creates variations in price that cause supplies to flow to where they are needed and to dis tribute supplies over the period be- tween one harvest an another.
 Neither of thes functions is necessary today There is only one source-America-a one market Europe. Speculation should be eliminated entirely.

TAYLOR'S FRIENDS AFTER
 HUMAN SktNkS.

About 25O friends of Mayor Charles Taylor of Little Rock attended a meeting in the capital city Tuesday night, when it was determined to name a secret committee of five to seek out the author of what was char acterized as foul islander" against the mayor. Commenting upon the action, the Little Rock Gazette yes- terday said:
 "If Mayor Taylor and his friends run down the originator of the Vii cious stories concerning the mayor which were circulateI here while he was in New York attending to the city's business, they will have done a great eservice for Little Rock. In a statement yesterday tn mayor says he feels it to be h.s duty to put a stop to such infamous business in order to make Little Rock safe for decent people against character as sassins.' Showing such infamous business is not unusual, he refers to the vicious stories circulated here about two years ago concerning the Little Rock High school. which sto- ries were traced to idle gossipers. The idle gossipers rrobably had no idea of the harm they were doing, but the lies to which they gave mo- crn n,,f and then.
 "The desire to hear and tell gos- sip seems to be ilborE in the human animal and therefore it is easy for the vicious man or woman, who de- sires to inure someone, to assassin ate the character Of that person thru the aid of thought!ess long-tongued men and women. Thus far the char acter assassins have. gone unpunish- ed, but if even one is arrested and held up to public shame it will de- crease gossip in Little Rock notice ably.
 "How many, when they hear a vicious story about some other person give that person the benefit of the doubt and inquire ci the teller oi th story his authority for it? How many people refuse to repeat vicious gossip because it is not authentic ated? How many idle gossipers real ize that they may Le assisting a vicious scheme of scowardly plotters to ruin man or a woman on the au- thority of 'they say?
 os course the mayer and his friends will not discover ths identity of the character arsassir. No one ever does. Because this species of skunk is as
