New York, Aug. 25-when speak ing of great ball players, as he fre- quently does, Branch Hickey, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, starts and finishes with one man only. That pnan is not Rogers Hornsby, although doned for being a bit partial toward the Texan in view of the fact that Hornsby is a member of his ball club.
 Neither is he George Sisler, whom Hickey really developed while coach ing the University of Michigan ball team. If bounded and harried about the matter MT. Hickey may be per- suaded to admit that he did a good job with George and that certainly the Cardinals.
 Cobb the Greatest.
 But when it comes down to the greatest of them all, Hickey knows only one ball player, and his name is Cobb.
 One of Branch Rickey's favorite stories, if that noted raconteur can be said to favor any particular anec- dote, deals with the game Cobb won At that stage of his checkered career Hickey happened to be manager of the Browns. Hence the occasion re- mains fixed in his mind much in the same manner that a cornerstone re- mains fixed in a building. It has been his singular contention ever since that Cobb has brains in his feet

Accident Record of
 Palace Due to Care

William A. Schaf, of the Schaf Construction company, who has been the big boss in chief of the building of Polls Palace theatre since the day ground was broken, rather, rock was blasted, on the site two years ago the first of November, is proud of the now nearly completed building. He is proud of it's architectural beauty. naturally. but he points to another record with equal pride. In the entire time there has not been one serious accident among the three or four hundred workmen employed. This is unusual and perhaps partially explained by the strict system of order and cleanliness insisted upon by MT. Poli in the way each days work is completed-a system thor MT. Schaf. For instance, every even- ing after the shrill five o'clock whistle has resounded in the building, and nammerine and decorating and organ tuneing have ceased, workmen take broons and brushes and put into perfect order the entire place.
 Dust is not permitted to remain upon half-finished jobs-which. incl dentIy reacts to the patrons advant- age later--and stray bits of wood, plaster, marble. and all loose mater ials are picked up. The place would delight the soul Of any good house. wife. B With the danger of mis-step- ping or tripping greatly 1essened by these habits of order. it is not strange there have no injuries to marr the splendour of the theatres opening Saturday evening. September End.

In The Theatres
EMPIRE

There's no comedy drama about The Trooper" the Universal attrac- ton at the Empire theatre, starring Gladys Walton.
 Gladys Walton, so long seen in straight comedy dramas, stepped out of her fascinating shell of prettiness and created a real figure on the screen in Second Hand Rose.'' Her DOT trayal of ''Tf1e Trouper' is equal to it if not greater. It is emotional, in tense ain it's pathos and wistfulness.
 And yet through out the picture every sequence is dominated by some comedy, burleSque usually of ye an- cient nd honorable traditions of the stage. The whole story is a satire of barn storming road companies and penniless players in pressing situa- tiOnS.

Y WilL Kn0ck Out Luby, 7
 Pete August,s Prediction

Matchmaker George Dwyer IS
 anticipating a bumper crowd at the oIen-air fights on Monday
 night when Pete August and
 Young Luby will clash in the star
 bout for the local lightweight
 championship.
 There's no doubt but that loca fight fans are wrought up to a nigh degree of interest in the affair be- tween these boys. if the gossip tha, is rampant in local sport circles can be taken as a criterion. In fact, some of the fans are more excited over the pending battle than the mem orable Bogash and Delaney ring tilt some months ago.
 There's a lot of betting going on no large amounts, but sufficient to show that the fight is one of the best of local attractions to be staged.

Paris to Be Served By
 Chicago Yellow Cabs

Paris, Aug. 25-Fifty yellow cabs from Chicago soon will exert an Americanizing influence on Paris taxi cab service.
 The cabs will be brought over in time to operate at the beginning of the Winter season, according to John Hertz and Charles A. McCulloch, of the Chicago Yellow Cab Manufactur- ing Company, who have organized a subsidiary company here. They will be run on a profit-sharing basis, simi- lar to those in Chicago, but will be operated at Paris taxicab prices
 Drivers of the new cabs will be selected according to their ability to handle American fares. Politeness will be a prerequisite.
