good material elsewhere In the show.

they might miss something. AS was
TO ne expected there are no singers
of note in the cast. nor could the plot
be found anywhere throughout the
two acts and nine scenes The show
liz really a vaudeville filled with high
class specialties and raggedy music.
William Norris. the famous come

form wonderful dances. in which
seemingly impossible steps are exc

efforts to make the ensemble COM
plete and effective. The costumes

According 10 Igoe. OF the New York
World, Fred Fulton. the Rochester
giant. thinks he outciasses all the
heayies in the business. and even Jess
Willard gets no consideration. In a
rather humorous strain fgoe pens the
following regarding Sir Frederick:
Frank Force, Fulton's manager. ar
rived from Chicago yesterday and he
had lot to say. First of all, Force
stated that he had been closeted with
Tom Jones and Jess Willard Sunday,
and that WREN the subject of fight
between Fulton and Willard was
preached. both Tom and Jess began to
CAB about the astounding altitude TO
which the price of curly cabhages had
scared.
Now. I've come to the conclusion
that Jess Willard Is afraid Of Fulton
began Force. and when a full nest of
hard boiled eggs in Jack Curley's Of
flee smiled, Force repeated;
Honest to goodness. cross my
heart to die. II I don't think SO. boys.
This is not for publicity purposes.

WARNING OF JOHNNIE MGRAW
MADE SCHUPP GOOD PITCHER

victories scored by the Giants. That
he was sent to the mound six time
and pitched six straight victories OF
the twenty-six scored by New York
That he was never relieved in one OF
his six games and that he won four OF
them by the shutout route. But that
is exactly what Ferd!e Schupp did, and
today he Is looked upon as one of the
most valuable young pitchers of the
big league.
Certainly he is the best bet McGraw
owns, and great things may be ex-
son, for he has learned how to pitch
and ne has tasted the sweet fruits OF
victory and fame. From now on Fer
die Schupp will look at pitching for the
New York Giants as very serious
business and he will put everything
he has into every game.
TWAS Schupp, by the way. who start
ed the Giants on their record break

Schupp who pitched the twenty sixth
game.
In the string of six Victories won BY
schupp he allowed the opposition but
seventeen hits and only three runs, He
allowed two OF these runs TO the Pitts
burg Pirates on September IS and the
other lonely tally was made by Brook

One day last summer. when the
Graw split up a pair OF cronies. He
sent one of these lads to Louisville
and gave the other one the kind OF a
calldown that only McGraw can de-
liver.
That pair of cronies was none other
than Rube Schauer and Ferdinand
Schupp. called the Sehusch twins.
schauer was sent to the Louisville
Colonies and Schupp was told he was
getting his last chance. He must
either make good or IL would be back
to the tall and uncut timber for him.
From that time on Ferdie Schupp got
wise to himself. Up to the time he
was handed that memorable sermon
Ferdie had taken life more of Joke
than anything else. The fact that the
Giants were going bad was nothing In
his gay, young existence.
But MeGraw Strengthened out his
Idea of the order OF things on big
league club and schupp came to him

league he was n cocky youth He knew
he had Il curve ball and he liked 10
