Peggy Hyland Demands Realism fOf
saloon scenes.
Little Peggy Hyland, the famous
English star who Is seen to excellent
advantage in the Vitagraph feature,
THE Enemy" heading the bill at the
Pastime theater on Sunday and Mon.
day. is most particular about the va
rious locations used in her pictures.
It is immaterial to the piquant Miss
whether she appears in the scene or
not-it must be realistic. That is why
her director was forced to journey
all over New York city in order to
find a location for the bowery saloon
scenes which play an important part
in the picture. The first place which
Miss Hyland saw was entirely too
large
why the story calls for a perfect
hole, don't You know she exclaimed
her English accent very decided in
her excitement. "Oh, that will not do
at all"
Again the location man searched
every conceivable and filthy hole in
the lower sections Of New York At
last he believed he had discovered tho
desired spot. Phoning Miss Hyland
she soon arrived in her machine with
her mother and entered the room
through a side door.
This time the little star hesitated
TO venture her opinion One could
zee that she dreaded to express her
thoughts. Hesitatingly she said;
Eyes, perhaps this will do. Give me
until tonight to think it over
However. she did not do much
thinking She Immediately set about
to seek the location herself although
her mother pleaded that it was not
quite the thing for young lady.
About six-thirty the location man
was called upon the phone
TITS Miss Hyland" said sweet
little voice "Oh I've found the jol-
lest place. win you meet me in
about an hour?"
And when the location man and di-
rector met Miss Hyland and her tired
mother an hour later they were bun

When they came to the poorer Sec

to slow down in order to avoid the
little kiddies playing about the street
Finally, however, the car came to a
standstil and the party alighted.
Through a dark, filthy alley-way Miss
Iiyland ran, drawing her dainty skirts
about her to keep them from brush

piled high on either side.

MACKMEN BEGINNING
TO WAKE UP LEAGUE
They're Not Pennant Winners, But
They're All Fighters.

Though deep down in the second d.
vision, Connie Mack's Athletics are be-
ginning to show some stunts that
promise to bear out the Philadelphia
leaders threat of a couple OF years
to produce a baseball club in 1917.
A look back over the performances
OF the Athletics today gives evidence
OF some startling happenings in the
Ban Johnson second division. Since
June % the Athletics, laughed at and
derided, have won ten games and lost
six. Tearing into the favored White
Sox in a series beginning July s, the
Mackmen took three out OF four
games. Since leaving Chicago they
have taken two games from the
Browns. On top of this Elmer Myers
hasn't faced the St Louis crowd yet,
and he is just rounding into effective
form.
Just a year ago, when July 10 ar
rived, the Athletics were a hopeless
last. They had won nineteen games
and Mad dropped seventy-three. This
year the Athletics have already accu-
INFLATED twenty-nine victories-ten
more than a year ago. and have lost
forty-9ve- less than a
year ago. Likewise their percentage
lacks only a few points OF being 200
better than a year ago.
Connie Mack's team hasn't yet en-
tered the fight for a pennant, but
things are picking up in Philadelphia.

Bernie Boland. who was too weak
to do his best last season, is quite the

ers. He has put on some weight and

the box. He has brains and ability

pitchers.
But, even with Boland coming
along, the Tigers chances for the 1911
pennant have been kicked higher than
kite by the failure OF Harry Cove
leskie to round into his old form. Had
he been showing class this spring,
jennings might now be well up
the top of the heap.
AS things look, the red-topped lead
er OF the Junsaleers will have to con-
tinue his search for capable pitchers,
Just as the Old Fox must keep on in
his hunt for real hitters.

Yes, inside OF the first week It did
look as II the Tigers had obtained
their much needed pitchers, for How

many victories. But the silver lining
fell from that cloud like a German

BOB THAYER'S
SPORTING GOSSIP

Johnny EVers passing from the
spotlight has been held up for a
while longer. Pat Moran is willing
to give him the "once over" and so
the former star OF the Cubs hangs on
for a bit. 1t is certain, though, that
Evers' skill is waning, or the Braves
would never have allowed him to de-
part. That $4,000 contract had con-
siderable to do with Evers' change
of base.
Francis ouimet, without playing
spectacularly, works his way into the
semi-finals in the Western amateur
golf tournament Headlines go to
him only because of his former
prowess and his present amateur
status in the golf world. However,
when the tourney ends, 1t is probable
that many writers will have a lot to
say OF his careful. m4chine-like play,
style OF play that is most discon-
certing to opponents. Ouimet never
was hashy. He was just a winner,
that's all.
The Griffmen are having bundles
OF troubles with the Cleveland
Indians this season. Bert Gallia
seems to be the one Washington
pitcher possessing much luck when
facing FohPs tribe. Johnson gets a
sad humping every time he takes his
place on the rubber against the
Speakerites. But the Grifs don't
have to play Cleveland all season,
thank heaven.
Connie Mack seems to have found
a lineup that can smash the pill.
Day after day his athletes collect
anywhere from eight to eighteen
bingles and, II given any kind of
pitching. the Shibe Park outdt will
certainly not finish this year at the
bottom OF the heap. 1t has been a
long, hard row for Connie to hoe, but |
