The rhinocerous has a one-track
mind, four speeds forward, ana no

temper, ranging to temporary in
sanity, a dislike for white people in

forward, and a couple of tons Of

he burns the breeze, and shivering

read something like this:
Wanted: Attractive girls to act
in photoplays"
Miss joys first picture was made
n New Orleans, entitled "The Folly
of Revenge" and this gave her a
taste for moving picture acting. She
wanted more of it. That was in 1917.
In short time she was, on her way
to New York with a one way TICKET
and letter of introduction to some
of the men holding responsible posi-
tions in the moving picture world at
that time
After short time she secured a
place in one reel comdeies.
1t wasn't all peaches and cream in
those days. Sometimes she worked
and sometimes she didn't, but after
many experiences she succeeded in
rising to stardom until now she is
considered one of the leading act
resses of the screen and has appear
ed in such successes as "Manslaugh-
ter, Bachelor Daddy" SATURDAY

Compares With Sisler
An inside slant on Grimm's first
hasing and his general all-round
ability was present by Jim Bagby
recently. Bagby, an American
Lacquer for years, saw the brilliant
George Sisler play. He is with the
Pirates this season and he has
watched Grimm daily.
81 may open an argument" re-
marked Bagby recently, "but Sisler
surpassed Grimm only in base run
ming and a bit in his hitting. In
fielding Grimm is the equal cf Sisler
in doing everything else and is con
stantly improving.
4 have never seen a first base
man throw with such accuracy while
flying in the air as Grimm He
reaches grounders going to his right
and with a sort of a hurdle losses
the ball down to Maranville, waist
high to force runnGrs.
"He is one of the few first base
men to go over to the third base
side of the plate, field a bunt on an
w'ptended sacrifice and catch the
sdnner going to third.
On Long Hitting Streak.
This kid is one of those ball
players you don't read much about,
but who is a star in his profession"
Grimm started the season with
remarkable batting spdrt, hitting
safely in his first Is games. Sixteen
more and he would have equaled the
modern safety record.
The nearest approach to his
achievements this year were those
of Harry Heilmann Of Detroit, with
a safe hitting mark for Fl games.
Bill McKechnie has Grimm ir
seventh place in the batting order,
not because Re is a weak hitter but

because, as he puts it, 81 like to
have a good hitter down there and
Charley is the best I know Of"
Grimm had but two years of pro-
fessional experience before he re-
ceived his diploma. He performed
on the semi-pro lots in st. Louis
when he was recommended to Con
ME Mack. The Athletics manager
carried him around for a month, but
with Stuffy McInnis on the bag
naturally did not have an opening
for him.
Grimm lined up with Cardinals
in 1918, but playing in so games was
transferred to Little Rock in the
Southern League. He finished with
the Travellers and improved to such
an extent in 1919 that he was pur-
chased by the Pirates. Grimm bats
left handed, throws with the south
paw, weighs IT'S pounds and meas
ures 5 feet II inches.

 SEA, IS OPINION
our of Six Phla. FugitiYes Re
 ported Seen in Small Boat

Philadelphia, July 17.-Four of the
 X convicts who escaped Saturday |om the Eastern State Penitentiary in his city are believed by the police to ave put out to sea in a motor driven pry they stole from wharf at Poco-
 oke City, Md, early Sunday.
 The report that the dory had been
 olen by four men was received today Captain Souder of the local de-
 ctive bureau from Mayor E. J. Tull
 Pocomoke City, small eastern bore town. Although a complete de-
 ription of the men was not obtained the Pocomoke city officials, Souder
 i'd that he was inclined to believe
 ey were the fugitive convicts.
 The boat was stolen from Cole
 ore E. Byrd, cashier of the Citizens ational bank of Pocomoke. It is a
 irty-foot craft, of sturdy sea-going ialities, and is called the Sunbeam. he motor had recently been over huled, the boat caulked and made fady for sea-, MT. Byrd said.
 The mayor said it would be fully hpable of making a trip to the Der (udas, if skilfully sailed. It was pundantly fueled.
 Should the thieves prove to be the bnvicts, Captain Souder said he felt pre the skipper of the craft would P Thomas J. Gillen, a former sailor.
 was Gillen who spliced the rope N which the convicts slid over the Nf t.te of nr hich they commandeered big se- hn, kidnapped the driver, Thomas J.. cAllister, and fled through Pennsyl- Rnia and Delaware to Elkton, Md. At lkton they abandoned the motor car hd left McAllister bound, gagged and ed to tree.
 Pocomoke City is about 100 miles om Elkton. It is situated on the pcomoke river, which flows into Po- Pmoke sound, part of Chesapeake hy. It is about 20 miles from Poco- oke City to the mouth of the river. Louis A. Edwards, the convict who as at the wheel during the wild ride om this city to Ell1ton, is believed k local authorities to be on the Sun ham. Edwards is not only an ex- |hrt automobile mechanic, but is also miliar with all types of engines. He |hce raced an airplane in Canadian tournaments and was said to be lually facile with marine engine. lone theory of the police is that the Nnvicts plan to join rum running let off the Virginia coast.
 Edward Landing, a bridge tender, Nv the four men climb aboard the |tnbeam about a. m. Sunday morn |g. One of them carried suit |se, he said. He was unable to give detailed description of any of the len.
 No trace of the movements of the |her two fugitives has been received bee McAllister returned here yester- |y. He said that all six had left Elw- In together, but he believed they had |parated shortly afterward. They Id decided to do this, he said; while Plding him prisoner in the woods.
