LONDON, October 6.-Discussion

broken out anew with the declara
tion by Professor T. f. Wall of the
electrical research department OF the
University of Sheffield, that he be-
lieves he will be able soon to break
up the atom and control its energy.
If the experiments he now is try
ing result in the release of atomic
energy, the question of the possioll-
ity of directing such energy in any
desired way would become of su-
preme Importance, he added.
Prof Wall has been employed in
his researches for the past four
months They originated out of an
investigation into the death ray and
it's posi- bilities. which he carried
out earlier in the year.

BALL PARK DAMAGE BY CROWD
UNDER REPAIR FOR THURSDAY
Moments of Hysteria Experienced When Cosln
Honed and Peck Broke Tie, and Fans Are
Hoping for Return Battle.

A deserted field. a vast of empty
seats and groups of workmen clean
ing up here and there were all left
this morning of the vast, cheering
throng of life and color which filled
every nook and Granny of American
League Park for yesterdays game.
Early today men went to work
about the. diamond, repairing here
and there, making everything ship
shape for what they hope will be
another battle on the home field
Thursday.
Yesterdays crowd, as large as
Saturdays, took it's time in getting to
the park and it was only half an
hour before the game was ready to
start that the grandstands were
filled. The unreserved sections and
the left field pavillions were jamed
and over-fowing, however, early in
the morning. and while there were
no ceremonies, such as preceded
Saturdays game. the early birds had
enough to look at.
Band Joined by Altrock.
The band, which put in an appear
ance around 1880 o'clock, played for
a large part of it's time in front of the
right-field bleachers. Nick Altrock
the first Nat to take the field in uni
form, went over and Joined the musi-
clans and went through his antics for
an hour or so. When the Nationals
took the field for batting practice AL
trock and Schacht joined them and
amused the crowd until the game
started.
YESTERDAYS crowd did not have to
wait long to get it's first thrill. When
| things looked bad in the opening in
ming and the first doubtful fan had al
ready advised Harris. from the stands
to take Zachary out, Bluege started a
sizzling double-play which brought

Washington's half of the same inning,

Excitement Jagged during the next few
| innings, with a flare-up in the fifth
when Harris sent one into the left

of the day.
Ninth Inning Thrills.
Otherwise the crowd sat back and

excited about until the ninth inning
and then there was more than
enough.

packed thousands when Peck, COM

only the experienced chefs judgment

also. there are times when theatric
art becomes so artful that only the
seasoned dramatic critic of the
metropolis. perhaps. is competent to
pass upon its excellence. Artful art
always takes it's rise in the great
city of New York, and there arc only
few producers who are adequately
equipped to create it. Among these is
