BIG CROWD AT
SOX-CUB CAME
Opening of City Series Received
With Enthusiasm, Judging
by Attendance.

Chicago, Oct 5.-Chicago was
prepared today for the opening
game of the series to decide the
championship of the city between
the Chicago clubs of the National
and American leagues. With fair
and warmer weather in prospect,
the local rivals met today for the
first time since 1916, and enthusi-
asm, which had been at high pitch,
was reported in a substantial way
by the thousands that thronged Co
miskey park.
There was much speculation as
to the pitching selections for today.
Among the best guesses was Red"
Faber for the White Sox and
Speed" Martin for the Cubs. Gro
yer Alexander, the Nationals ace,
it was said, would be saved for the
opening games on the Cubs
grounds.

Decatur, I'll, Oct. 5.-The fourth
aH-American Gridiron player was
added to the Staley roster today
when Ralph Scott, for three years
star with the Wisconsin eleven,
arrived in the city to sign with the
Starchworkers. Scott has been as
sisting at Wisconsin the past few
weeks and will be in great shape
for the Rock Island Independents

220 and is expected to fill the berth
made vacant by Bert Ingwerson,
now at Illinois.

Turn In Conner Market

Another turn for the better was made
in the copper market during the past
week, due TO increased inquiries from
consumers and somewhat larger orders
than have been placed on the average
for several months. While the busi-
ness il not yet to be considered sub
stantial, the increase nevertheless is
said to be gratifying to the leading au-
thorities in the trade.
Quotations are higher. the American
Metal Co. which had been selling
freely at the beginning Of the week
at 12 cents per pound for spot copper.
holding firmly for 1914 cents at the
end OF the week. and even at that
figure it was offering smaller quantities
than unusual for immediate delivery
only.
Some of the other sellers who had
been meeting the low price Of the
American Metal Co. had made even
greater advances before the end OF the
week. one Of them naming l212 cents as
the minimum at which copper would be
sold for the present at least. Even
the small dealers and iobbers advanced
their prices to from l2A cents to 121a
cents per pound.
Naturally, this change strengthened
the attitude Of the leading selling
agencies. which continued to adhere to
their quotations Of from 12N cents
to l3 cents per pound. according to de-
liveries and the quantity wnnted. These
leaders insisted that il would be rather
difficult to place any large order at
the I2i, cent price at this time. and
for that reason they did not make any
effort to compete with those who were
undertaking them.

Chickens Rival Jonah in
Pastors Snake Story
Brothers Swallowed by Python
as Clipper as Ever After
They We're Rescued

The Rev. Erwin II. Richards, who has
been missionary in Africa for thirty
one years, was at the Methodist Epis-
copal Board of Foreign Missions, $50
Fifth Avenue, yesterday telling snake
stories
One time, he said while missionaries
of his district were having u confer
ence python with no respect for the
Methodist Episcopal Church and a
ravening desire for chicken dinner,
sneaked into the hen house.
1t was fifteen-foot python, said Mr..
Richards, and it was practically all
appetite. 1t slowed away seven broil-
crs, setting hen and the latter's nine
eggs. While it was contemplating a
hysterica rooster with an apprtcia-
tive eye the python fell asleep.
Tho indignant ROSTERS protests at
the fate that had befallen his family
aroused two native women. Each got
an AK, and they chopped that python
right in two, seven feet six inches
behind the nose Then they reached
in and took cut seven broilers, which
they put back on the roost, setting
hen and nine eggs, placing the latter
under the hen. The next morning, he
said, the broilers were scattering around
as usual and the hen was leading nine
chickens about with great pride.

Old Frohman Feud
Results i'm $25O,OOO
Suit for w A. Brady
Press Agent Of 33 Years Ago
Asserts Autobiography of
Producer, Saying He Was
Putin Cooler Is a Libel

The rivalry that existed thirty three
years ago between William A. Brady
theatrical manager, and the Frohman
interests over the production of "She :"
the dramatization Of II. Rider Hag-
CARDS story, has led to libel suit for
$3.50 600 against Mr.. Brady, which was
filed in the Supreme Court YESTERDAY.
The plaintiff is Charles e. A. Nc
Geachy, who was the Frohman publicity
agent at the time, and who sues on
certain statements made by Mr.. Brady
in his book. The Fighting Man, which
is an autobiography. Mr.. McGeachy
alleges that the defendant says some
things about him in the volume which
are not according to history
Mr.. McGeachy recalls that the Froh-
mans produced "She' in 1888 in New
York, and that Mr.. Brady organized a
"She'. company in San Francisco to
play towns in the far West. Froh-
mans bookings included st. Paul,
MINI. The Brady company included
that city in its itinerary, and got there
before the rival company.
Mr.. McGeachy was commissioned by
the Frohmans to go to St Paul and
publish the fact that the Frohman
"She" company was the larger and more
spectacular. Mr. Brady caused the ar
rest of Mr.. McGeachy on the charge
that he had published "1alse, malicious
and scandalous" notices. He was re-
leased on bail, but never was prose-
cuted.
That brings the Brady Nc Geachy
row down to date. According to the
publicity man of thirty three years
ago, Mr.. Brady relates in his book,
The Fighting Man, that Mr.. McGeachy
was snatched out of bed by the police
and "haled to the cooler" later be-
ing released in $4,000 bail, which Mr..
Brady's book says Charles Frohman
put up in cash. The Fighting Man also
tells Of a meeting between Mr. Brady
and Mr.. Frohman, in which the latter
requested the rival manager to have
his lawyer in st. Paul, call off the
case against Mr.. McGeachy, who. the
book says, refused to return to St.
Paul and stand trial, Mr. Frohman be-
ing in danger of losing his $4,000
bail.
The complaint of Mr. McGeachy
quotes from the Brady book as fol-
lows, "'All right, Mr.. Frohman,' said,
that goes We shook hands and l
walked out of his Office. 1t was not

was still pretty sore about what he'd
sent McGeachy on to do to me in
Minnesota, but, as I said, was some
thing of a prophet. had watched
Mr.. Frohman and felt that he was
destined to do big things in the theatr-
cal world, and | thought it the part of
wisdom to make friend of him"
Mr.. McGeachy alleges that the state
ment that he was held under $4,000
bail and refused to stand trial was
not true, his bail being only $500 and
$1,000 respectively in the two cases
against him. He also says he was
never prosecuted, and, further, that
while he was arrested, he was not put
in "the cooler,' IS stated by Mr.
| Brady.
