Joseph CawthOrn
Hunts the Elusive
Jersey Woodcock

Woodcock shooting in New Jersey, to
its devotees, is as thrilling sport as
hunting big game in the jungle wilds
OF India or Africa. Joe Cawthorn tried
it once and he couldn't get out of the
woods quick enough. Then he gave
himself thorough examination to
make sure that none Of the pellets in
tended for the elusive woodcock had
entered his anatomy. Those wood
cock hunters are all enthusiastic and
careless lot-take it on the authority
Of Cawthorn. They stop at nothing
when they see a chance for shot and
the comedian would far rather sit with
his legs dangling on the bank of q
placid stream, pipe in his mouth and
a rod in his hand. than to risk his life
in the woods with the hunters He
feels that it is a great deal pleassnter
to feed bait to the fishes than to allow
his friends to take random shots in his
direction in the thick underbrush.
Cawthorn was adjusting the wig
which transforms him into Nanderpop,
the hall porter and head waiter in
"Thc Blue Kitten Arthur Hammer

playing at the Selwyn Theater. In a

ern comedian cannot DO that. He must
be far moro subtle, and it is almcst
fatal to let the audience know that you
feel it is there. Comedians now must
have naturalness and reposc to make
their work effective on the stage"
Cawthorn has had ample cpportu-
nifty to observe the changes in comedy
style. When he WAS litth moro than
three years old he WAS end man for the
Pickaninny Minstrcls. whose childish
songs and foolery won the audiences at
Robinsons Hall. in Sixteenth Street.
The oldest member of the troupe was
only twelve years old. Previous tc
1.-The Blue Kitten some of Cawthorn's
best roles were in "Syhil," The Sun
shine Girl" "Thc Girl From Utah"
"Ramblcr Rose" aud Mother Goose"
In some of these he was associated
with Donald Brian and Julia Sander
son, and the trio was fayori.c among
musical comedy patrons.
1t will cause no disturbance in the
Cawthorn family to reveal the fact that
Mrs. Cawthorn has furnished the ma
terial for two of her husbands most
successful comedy songs. Cawthcrn
himself is authority for this statement
and valves all restrictions against it's
publication. In "Sybil" he sang q song
called II Can Dance With Anybody but
Ny Wife," and now in "The Blue Kit
ten" he sings 1.-The Best / Get Is the
Worst OF It," in which he reveals the
tribulations Of Fnan whose wifo plays

selves in position with the lead
ing clubs of the county when thew
defeated the X. of c. AGGREGATION

them with a total OF Ave victories
and only two defeats.

the same. as stated above.
1t has been reported that the
Griffith team has made a few addi-
tons to their lineup which they
hope and will hold the Vets down.
but the Vets are confident and feel
they have a team which will con-
tinue in victory for them in future
games.
There will be bus accommodat lions
for the fans who desire to accom-
pany the Vets to Griffith. The rate
of fare will be small, making 1.
possible for a large number of fans
to accompany them. The bus will
leave from the Colonial Sporting
Store on State st. at D. m. All
Vet fans are earnestly invited to
accompany the team.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
very much appreciated the loyal
support given them by fans who at
tended the Cresterton game at Ches-
terton last Sunday and who werc
present at last Tuesdays game

power to enable the fans to go with

that they have "sold's themselves

Tn Hammond X OF C.'s have just
about recovered from the trimming
they received at the hands of the
Hammond Vets last Tuesday and
they will be back in their fighting
to maintain their hold on first place
in the X of C. Suburban league on
next Sunday. when they stack up
against their ancient rivals. the
scrappy outfit from East Chicago.
Whenever Hammond and East
Chicago hook up in any kind of a
game. be it base ball. football. bas-
ketball or any other sport. there is
always sure to be plenty Of ex-
element and next Sunday will be
no exception. In fact, Harry Fierock
captain and third baseman of the
East Chicago club has already made
the crack that his team didn't care
near so much about losing all the
rest of their games just as long as
they can take Hammond into camp
next Sunday.
That East Chicago has a bunch
capable of going out and piling up
the runs Is evidenced by the strong
light they put up against South
Chicago, the team that beat Ham
mond. 10 to 2. East Chicago scor-
ed nine runs off the South Chicago
tribe and had the game sewed up
until the eighth inning when their
pitcher weakened and permitted
the visiting team to overcome a
four run lead. However. according
TO Johnnie McShane, the East Chi
cago catcher. this will not happen
again next Sunday as he swears
that he will hold up his pitcher

The bulletin also calls attention to
the fact that the auto association

fact that in many sections of the
