MAN o. WAR ESCAPES.
Peer of Track Narrowly Escapes Injury at
Rose Tree Hunt Club.


Man o. War the horse without peer
on the race track, narrowly escaped serious
injury yesterday at the Rose Tree Hunt
Club, near Media, Pa
The thoroughbred, known as the "horse
that money cannot buy" had come over
from the Glen Riddle Farm TO be ex-
hibited at the annual fall race meet at
Rose Tree. As his private limousine, big
motortruck, pulled up in front OF the Rose
Tree stables and the gangplank was low
cred, the crowd focked around Tor n
glimpse of the racer that has won SID ,265
and Sc, 900 gold trophy in his two-year
career on the track.
Another horse, Man o. Wars travelling
companion from Glen Riddle, walked
quietly from the truck, but Man o War
hesitated as he saw the throng. Then the
crowd started to applaud, which only
made matters worse with the high-strung
champion.
He stopped momcntarily and then
sprang sideways to the ground, coming
within an ace of breaking his leg or at
least badly barking his hide. Grooms
leaped forward and quieted HIM, and
Samuel ID. Riddle, owner of the champion,
led him into the quiet Of the stables
"That was close shave" remarked
Man o. Wars owner, "but | don't think
he is hurt. The crowd startled him when
they applauded II got on his nerves.
Man o. War is as temperamcntal as an
opera singer"
Sixteen reserve policemen were at the
races to keep the crowd back from the
stable and paddock reserved for Man o
War.
1t was day of champions at Rose Tree,
with Man o. War as the brightest star.
The other championship attractions were
Jack Dempsey, champion of tho squared
circle; and Jack Kelly, worlds amateur
sculling champion.

ARCADE TO-DAY

! the failures of marriages among the
actors and actresses of the screen.
While Matt Moore has never married
lie has been in good position to OBJ
serve the things which lead to separa-
ton for all of his three brothers who
have been married to screen stars and
each one of them is once more a bach
elor due to the divorce courts. Owen
Moore was the husband Of Mary Pick
ford, Tom Moore was the husband of
Alice Joyce and Joe Moore was the
husband of Grace Cunard.
Don't Ever Marry His Advice
Matt Moore advanced his theory in
discussing the latest production in
which he appears under the direction
of Marshall Neilan, Don't Ever
Marry" which will be the attraction
at the Arcade theatre. beginning today
and naturally the talk turned to the
unsuccessful marriages Of his brothers.
Il may sound queer said Mr. Moore
but l really haven't word of censure
for any one Of my brothers or any one
of my ex-sisters-in-law. That they
could not continue to be happy is the
fault of the profession and not due to
any individual short comings. Act
resses and actors have married outside
the profession and have become ideal
husbands and wives. In the profes-
sion, however. the chances for happi-
ness are small. for the simple reason
that the attraction usually comes
through the acting of the individual
and therefore it is a false attraction.
