Walnut St. Theatre
Gives Up Rare Wood

Philadelphia-Com between
construction work of 100 years ago
and now are being brought under the
eyes of engineers in charge of the
destruction of the old Walnut Street
Theatre at Ninth street They do not
reflect the greater credit of modern
methods of carpentry.
The Walnut, erected in 1903, and
first used as Circus" is said to be
the oldest theatre in the United
States. Workmen have barely
scratched the surface Of the fascinat
ing secrets which are being unfolded
to them Woods which are now re-
garded as rare and expensive, and
which are polished and used for fiji
ishing only, were used in the rafters,
and even in the shingles of the old
theatre. Walnut timber is found in
abundance, in places where it has
been concealed from view for 112
years. Shingles are in the roof which
are as good as they were when the7
were laid liz years ago.
Valuable Wood Found
Paneling which today would be
made of cheap wood, with Carving
pressed in, is found to be walnut or
some other equally valuable wood, to
be really hand-carved and then war;
nished. A workman yesterday moist
ened the reverse side of a piece OF
wood which was taken from the wall
and rubbed his fingers over it. 1t
shone with a lustre and grain which
persons nowadays are glad to find in
their best furniture. The piece Of
wood had been buried next to bricks
for century.
Rafters which run above the staunch
walls of the old circus, which have
been uncovered, are found to consist
of strips of pine or other timber, about
half an inch thick, laid in sixteen or
eighteen layers, and nailed together.
The cross-graining effected this way
gives a great deal more strength than
the single piece Orders now in vogue.
More Secrets Due
| Whatever secrets, dark or other
wise, may be revealed when the earth
foundation of the house is delved into,
can only be imagined so far. A tun-
mel runs about below the old circus
arena wall, but the floor of the theatre
with this exception, is laid apparently
on solid earth foundation. The plans
for the place were lost years ago, so
the wreckers must work Gin the dark
Numerous coins, hairpins and other
articles which theatregoers for three
or four generations have let slip
through cracks and crannies, are be-
ing gathered up.
| Will there be old skeletons, dried
bones, buried treasures, precious relics
discovered as the delving for the
modern structure which is to be erect
ed, progresses? That is the question
which the next few days alone can
answer. Already a niche has been
discovered propped up with a bent
piece of growing tree, rough-hewed
and gnarled, for which no purpose can
be assigned. Who knows what
wraiths of bygone wardrobe mistress
ses, what callboys, what dead stars,
stumble about in the earth these
nights looking for the boards" which
once they trod.-Phila. Inquirer.

Ban OF Marriage

A curious idea among the Burmese
is that people born on the same daV

if they do defy the fates their union
will be marked by much i'll luck. TO

every girl carries record of her
birthday in her name, each day of the
week having letter belonging to it,
and all children are called by name
beginning with that letter.

DUKE REILLEY
GOES In DEAL
Hoosier Vet Sold to Nashville
Tinker Sells Columbus
Club Holdings.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 10.-Baseball
deals in which American Association fans
will be interested were made here today
during the many confabs being held by
minor league magnates from all over the
country.
Duke Kelley, veteran Indianapolis out
fielder and the Oldest player In point of
service in the Hickey loop, has been
sold to the Nashville club OF the South
efn Association, according to announce
ment made by Owner William C. Smith
o. the Hoosier team.
The passing of Kelley will be received
with certain amount OF regret In In
dianapoliS because the little outhelder
has done valiant service for that club in
the past. On two previous occasions he
was let out by the boosters, but made n
comeback both times because of his great
fielding and base running. His batting
eye has been dimming recently, however,
and he hardly would be able to keep
pace with the lineup that Owner Smith
is building up for next season.
Another deal important to Association
fans, came with the announcement that
Joe Tinker has sold his interest in the
Columbus club i, to Thomas E. Wilson,
Chicago packer. Tinker stated that the
sale clears him entirely Of baseball stock
and that he is through with the game
Wilson is said to have been Tinker's
chief financial hacker when the former
Cub star took over the Columbus team.
. A big league deal announced today was
the sale of Outhelder Leslie Mann OF the
St Louis Cardinals to the Boston Ma
tionals. The price was not named.

Ty Cobb's View

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1o.-Tyrus
Cobb. star outfielder of the Detroit
team, declared today that the forma-
ton of the New National League"
was due to the Jealousy of the Ma
uonai League over the success OF the
American League under the construc-
tive leadership of Ban johnson. Cobb
said that the new League would be q
failure from q business standpoint.
81 I'm for the American Laeguo and
for Ban Johnson" said Cobb. From
the players viewpoint IL looks to me
as though the whole rumpus Is due
to politics and personal animOsities
on the part of the minority owners
who have withdrawn. Ban Johnson's
administration has been a construc-
tive one.
"It Is natural for National League
magnates to want to join hands with
the insurgents of the American
League. They have seen the junior
league advance TO the leadership and,
of course, it is good business for
them to throw a monkey wrench into
the machinery of the American
League If possible"
