AT THE HIPPODROME.

Charles Dillingham; intends to
spring some new surprise this
week in the pageant Every
thing" like the famous occasion
last week when Fatty Arbuckle,
the film star, umpired the base
ball game among the elephants
and one of the pachyderms
showed by his actions that he had
mistaken Fatty for a brother
player. 1t was after this episode
that the Ell Rey Sisters signed a
contract to do their skating act
in a new revue, for Sir Alfred
Butt in London this summer,
evidently fearing that Fatty's
presence on the stage had made
the boards unsafe for them. This
is not the first act that foreign
producers have borrowed from
the Hip, the flag spectacle SINH
lar to that in Hero Land being
introduced at the Casino de
Paris and the effects of Lamp

South America, but the Hip
manager is so generous he
doesn't give darn.
Last week a donkey was born

The young Polish girl had already

year Of her engagement there. She

nanced all consideration of their daugh-

their conscience to the extent OF per-
hitting her to appear in pantomime

that her success on the boardsNof the

The London Letter

LONDON, Jan. ,By mail) With
golf balls selling at Sky high prices and
n supply that is totally inadequate to
the demand. the thieving fraternity have
discovered new source OF revenue.
During the past year there has been
an extraordinary outbreak OF burglar!es
at clubhouses belonging to golf clubs.
So great has the evil grown that many of
the insurance companies have refused to
renew policies of burglary insurance.
In ono instance-that OF Sandy Lodge
Club, which has been visited by thieves
no less than seven times within as many
weeks-the company even went 10 the
length of canoelling the policy before its
expiration.
Around London there have been Mt the
very lowest estimate 100 Of these bur
glarics, The general impression is that
the raids have been the work of one
gang
Many club committees are considering
tho advisability Of making closer inqut-
ries into the credentials OF visitors. for It
IL certain that some Of these thcfts have
been carried ont in the daytime. when
only n person possessed OF some appar-
emit right to use the clubhouse and
dressing rooms would have q chance OF
obtaining admission,
In one case a we'll dressed golfer who
said he was member was suspected by
tho steward but disappeared while the
latter was hunting through the MEM
bership list for tho name given by tho
stranger.
At club IN Surrey three persons
drove up in an automobile on II quiet
day to inquire the terms OF membership,
and induced the steward 10 show them
all over tho premises. They got away
with a great number OF balls and took
little else.
Many members who arc returning to
the clubs after absence on war duties are
finding that their lockers have been
raided In their absence. and that the
difficulties of replacing the stolen goods,
especla tally balls, are greater than they
anticipated In every instance the clear
anoe of rubber cored balls has been COM
plete.
There is still a big traffic OF a surrep-
ttious nature in golf balls. and unllind
critics suggest that the thieves supply
the medium OF exchange between the
property and the members OF the neigh
boring clubs.

GRANT ONCE MADE
SEVEN HITS IN ROW
Eddie Pried Five OFF Vanguard
and Two OFF Matty in
Double Header.

The sad death Of the late Capt. Eddie
Grant, former Giant and Philadelphia
star. who made the great sacrifice IN the
Argonne Forest while acting as Major OF
his battalion. which was going TO tho re-
lief Of the famous Lost Battalion" re-
calls an incident IN his baseball career
at the Polo Grounds some years ago.
Eddie was playing third base for the
Ph!llies in those days. having come from
the Jersey city team OF the Eastern
League, after his baseball preparatory
course at Harvard University.
1t was a Saturday afternoon. double
header was on the card and a real holl-
day Giant crowd was present There was
a reason. for both the Giants and Phil
lies we're playing first division ball and
Mathewson and Vanguard were down TO
hurl against the batterS from the City
OF Brotherly Love.
Eddie Grant was among the first OF
the Phillie players TO leave the club
house and amble leisurely across the
field toward the visiting players bench
He had a peculiar walk and even the
twenty-five cent boys could not mistake
him.
As Eddie neared the players bench he
stopped, stopped down and picked up
something on the ground. lie examined
IL CaFeIulIy, Nllie Two OF three oth'T
players gathered around him, and smiled.
When he came to the bench some one
who had noticed Eddie pick up the OBJ
ject from the grass asked him what II
was. Eddie held up domino so every
body could sec It and said:
Its a domino with seven marks on
II and It's lucky"
perhaps you think that you are going
to get seven hits to-day. Eddie?" queried
one OF the spectators
That's just what am going to get"
retorted Eddie, land I'm going 20 get
them all ia a row.
Not one OF those present took any
stock In Eddie's assertion, hut Grant got
his sevent hits all right, five OF Mar
guard and two Off Matty. They were
consecutive hits, as Eddie had predicted.
After the game Eddie was busy dis
playing the lucky black domino with the
seven marks on 1t to admiring fans and
he said he was going to keep 1t as a
good luck charm,

Both Youngsters Dangerously
Menace Billiard Supremacy
of Hoppe.

William J.. Hoppe. sole proprietor of
the 1872 championship emblem, may
not hold the billiard prowess OF welker
Cochran or Jacob Schaefer. Jr.. in high
esteem. although the fact that the title
holder refuses to play either Of the
youngsters unless there Is n wager OF
$4,000 might be taken to Indicate that
he has considerable respect for their
ability as balkliners.
This view of the case is strengthened
by the obvious impossibillty OF either
boy getting backing for so large an
amount. Aside from what the cham
piOn may think of the youthful players
experienced billiard experts are unani-
nous in pronounCing Cochran and
Schaefer two of tine greatest performers
in the history of the game.
Maurice DAILY and Tom Gallagher, two
OF the best judges of billiard skill in ~
world, unite in the opinion that Cochran
and SChaefer have now reached a point
in their careers where they are able to
give good account in a match or tour
nament with any living players, which.
OF course. includes Hoppe.
DAILY and Gallagher also are OF tho
opinion that young. Schaefer as he
stands to-day is superior as n balkliner
to his father when the elder Schaefer
was at his best.
1t goes without saying that the opln-
ions of these veterans will have much
weight with the patrons of billiards. II

THAT boy Schaefer reminds mo
strongly OF Frank Ives when that great
player was at the zenith OF his career.
Young Jake Is much better than his
father was. Tho son lacks the daring

counted when no one expected him to
do so and who missed when 1t seemed
certain he would count
The youngsters work with the dead
ball is perfect and his position play is
remarkable. When he misses it is by q
narrow margin, for he seldom shoots
"COchran's execution is his strong
point, and when it comes to counting
his work is sensational.
These two boys have done much 10
keep the game OF billiards in public
favor, as the failure to stage champion
ship contests always results in n slump.
There is one thing these boys are doing
that Hoppe avoids. Cochran and
Schaefer are using the seven inch square
anchor space In all their games and
Hoppe is not doing So Therefore the
averages made by the youngsters mean
more than those amassed by Hoppe"
sol Allinger, who keeps the room in
Philadelphia where Hoppe and Sutton
played their recent match. VAS a spec
tator at one Of the games at Days be-
tween Cochran and Schacfer. At the
close OF the game the Quaker promoter

Il thought Hoppe and Sutton played
nifty game over in Philadelphia, but II
was third class compared to the work
OF these boys"
