rs TO BE REAL SPORT;
PRACTICE NEXT WEEK

Carlisle. Pa, Aug. 2S.-The Carlisle
Indian Schools football team is again
on the schedule of big colleges in the
eastern and southern parts of the
country. This school expects to have
a team this fall that will rival teams
of former years when the Indians
were in their prime. The plans are
about completed for the training of a
machine that will give big university
teams a strong tussle to win.
Plans for the football season are
nearly complete since a larger num-
ber of the dates on their schedule
have been filed. A good number of
the old men will be back and while
no prediction regarding the new ma
terial can be made. it is hoped that
when the school opens on September 3
many promising athletes will attend.
Coach Harris to Report
No practice has as yet been under
taken, but early next week candidates
will be tried out. Leo Harris, who has
been selected as football coach, will
arrive at the school this week and
Immediately take charge of all plans
for the entire team. Among the old
men to be back are George Tibbitts

success as manager in the Interna-

batting eye are almost certain to
drag the veteran back into the big
leagues.
Several clubs are known to have
approached the baseball powers with
a view to getting Lajoie. and at least
one club has made him tentative
oner to manage it next year.
Lajoie is satisfied with his lot in
Toronto. He is well liked there His
team has been in the pennant fight all
the way, and the club has been pros
porous. Hence. he isn't figuring very
heavily on leaving. The amount of

REVIEW OF
MAJESTIC BILL
Show With Variety Aplenty
Has Some Excellent Work
in Spots


Large audiences. at the Majestic
last night watched with interest and
wonder the series of clever dives
given by the Society Diving Beauties,
listed as headliners for the first half
of the week at the vaudeville the
ater.
Using one of the smallest portable
tanks on the vaudeville stage, the
girls went through a number of the
most difficult dips into the water,
which was less than five feet deep.
The act is one of the most remark
able of its kind ever shown here.
Fawn and Fawn open the bill with
interesting balancing feats in which
a small dog comes in for a large
share of the applause. While the
tricks are not new ones, the novel
presentation of them made them as
popular as ever.
House and lie Velle follow in a
talking and singing skit which could
be improved. Jackson and Wahl, an
other clever pair, in TOO Late"
were well received.
Irwin and Henry made the big
gest hit of the evening, hubby"
giving an excellent impersonation of
a might out" hunting father-in-law
who happened to have been at home
with 'wifey' The continuous ap-
plause brought them back a number
of times until they gave an encore.
