Strong Play For Ray Is
ellis Own Home Town.

In the portrayal of virile charac-
terizations, which appeal by their
CONTINGENCIES and power, Charles
Ray has few equals among the
younger cinema stars of the present
day. Mr.. Ray has a magnetism and
charm, which, reinforced by native
talents of no insignificant merit,
have won him a decidedly large fol-
lowing of motion picture fans.
In his forthcoming photoplay His
Own Home Town." which was pro-
duced under the supervision of that
master craftsman, Thomas H. Ince,
Mr.. Ray has another vehicle, which
seems destined to add to his stellar
laurels. 1t is a strong story written
by Larry Evans, and it has to do
with the fortunes of a young man
of high ideals, a powerful political
boss, who dominates a small interior
city, and other elements which COM
bine to make the production one of
more than average attractiveness.
How Mr.. Ray, in his impersona-
ton of Jimmy Duncan, succeeds in
smashing this corrupt ring, thereby
winning the respect and admiration
of his townsmen, not to speak of the
love of a beautiful girl, is charming
ly told in His Own Home Town"
which is to be displayed at the Re-
gent theater next Monday and Tues
day.
There are numerous thrilling in
cidents in the development of the
story, and the continuity is excellent
ly sustained. Mr.. Ray is adequately
supported by capable players.

Tod Sloan No. z
Weighs 81 Pounds

Hayre De Grave, Md, Sept. Ia
A new Tod Sloan has appeared on
the Jockeys horizon. He is strug-
Cling along, handicapped with the
German name of Schwartz, but
otherwise he is all right. This
new star of the pigskin appears
10 be a midget automaton moving
its arms and legs.
Schwartz is the peewee of the
turf. When he is fat and healthy,
particularly after a good meal, he
weights 81 pounds. With his sad
die he weighed 60 pounds when he
rode Bogart to victory here on
Wednesday. Bogart was assigned
Ill pounds in the race. so it Will
be seen that in order to make the
weight Schwartz had to pack 81
pounds in the lead pads. This
dead weight was nearly as much
as Pee Wee Schwartz weighs.
1t was Pee Wee Schwartz's first
mount in a race and his first vic
tory.
Last winter he was shining
shoes and selling papers in New
Orleans. When the races opened
in the Crescent City he got the
horse fever and applied at one of
the stables for a job. He took as
naturally to riding as a German
to sauerkraut. He learned so rap
idly that B. z. Chapman. the own
er of Bogart, gave him the mount.
This was what impressed horse
men about Pee Wee: Instead of
taking Bogart to the front, like
most novices, Pee Wee held Bo-
gart back in the second division
for the six furlongs, then pulled
to the outside. challenged and rode
a strong finish through the
stretch. Pee Wee is totally lacking
in nerves. being phlegmatic and
utterly fearless. Although only
knee high to a grasshopper in
height, and being new to the
game, he has, on several occa-
sions. schooled horses over the
jumps. Trainers who have watch
ed him say that when flying over
the jumps he looks like a monkey
on a horse, with this difference
that he controls his horse, whereas
a monkey merely clings to a
horses back. In three essentials
Pee Wee is like Tod Sloan. He is
a natural rider. likes to gamble
or bet, and smokes big, black
cigars. the bigger and stronger
the better. He is just 16 years old
and hopes before he is 20, he says.
to be as noted on the turf as
Sloan.

lore 1T was known how serious an
erect the war would have on
baseball. Both the Red Sox and

Ject to an injustice because the

receive under the new system of
division almost as much as the
Chicago Nationals. contenders in

UNCLESAM KIND
TO FOOTBALL
Indications Are That Game
Will Thrive in All War
Colleges, at Least

The latest action of the Federal
government in regard to football is
Washington dispatch saying that
football programs for this fall ut
colleges and universities with any
student training corps will not be
interrupted by the War Department,
except where they would actually m
terfere with military training
This news settled somewhat the
delirium that resulted on Thursday,
when it was said that the officials in
Washington advised colleges not to
arrange football schedules, but plans,
especially at Penn, are indefinite,
and will remain so until the military
authorities under Major Griffith map
out the football future.
One thing is certain. There will be
football in war colleges, and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania will be one
of them. The sport may not have
the glamor of yesteryears, but there
will be more of it, with more parttc!-
pants than ever before. One of the
arrangementsSis to stage interbatta-
lion games among the battalions or
the training corps.
1t is understood at Pitt that there
will no further hitch and Colonel
Silas A. Wolfe, the new command
ant, is expected to say something
definite to-day.
Colinel Wolfe resides at Carlisle,
where Coach Glenn S. Warner was in
charge of the Indians physical de-
velopment before he went to Pitt,
and the two are slightly acquainted.
Like all Arnsy officers, Colonel Wolfe
recognizes the benefits to be derived
from athletic sports of all kinds. and
the chances are that he is not un-
mindful of the great good to be de-
rived from football.
Charles s. Miller, athletic director
at Pitt, yesterday received a letter
from H. r. (Bosey) Reiter, the fa-
nous old Princeton gridder, now
coach of the Lehigh University foot
ball team, which Pitt is slated to
meet at South Bethlehem on Satur-
day, November 2.
In his letter, Reiter says that l'e-
high has secured official sanction of
it's football plans from Washington,
and has been told to go ahead with
its season. Reiter added that he was
preparing to start practice at once
and hoped to be able to turn out 4
fast team.
This news. on top of that brought
from the middle west by DR.. Robert
son of the Pitt faculty, concerning
the conference elevens, cheered the
Pitt grid authorities, and caused
them to believe that in spite of con-
flicting reports from other places
there will be nc interference with the
football plans for the coming season.
but that, on the other hand, football
will be officially recognized, and the
sport flourish this fall. just as much
as in any past season.
Coach Glenn S. Warner is due to
arrive in Pittsburgh to-day from his
home in Springville, n. Y, where he
has passed the summer. He will be
ready to take charge of the Pitt
candidates at once, and if it is de-
cided to call them out, the chances
are that September 23 will find the
Panthers working in practice at
Forbes Field.

The strange religious beliefs and

Superficial changes may have been
