As social life became somewhat dull
toward the end of the season seven of
the 1924 Fiskites of Little Rock de-
cded to enliven things bit by giving
a Rustic Frolic at the Mosaic Tenn
pie on the night of Friday, Sept. 18th.
At very early hour, in comparison
with the time that older persons usual
ly arrive at such affairs, the debu-
tantes, sub-debutantes and the rus
tic swains began to assemble and
were soon swaying gracefully to the
enhancing music of the Rose City Or
rhestra. The seven little hostesses
were very chic in their pink and white
,.nghams gowns and pink garden
hats and their mothers at the door
S. that no unlimited guest register
ed for the good times in store.
At the appointed hour the Grand
March, after which the music became
livelier and livelier, beauty and chiv-
airy mingled beneath the Fisk colors
of blue and gold which stretched in
a canopy across the entire balcony.
Promptly at ~ o'clock the orchestra
hid their instruments in their little
black cases and the hostesses and
guests made a reluctant departure to
their various domiciles where, we
have no doubt, they were soon wrap
ped in the arms Of Morpheus.

PRESIDENT MAY
MISS FIRST
GAME
Scheduled to Address Vets At
Hour Of Opening, But
Time May Be Shifted

A rude jolt was handed to Wash.
ington's fans for the World Series
today.
1t is taken for granted that
President Coolidge will be present
at the first game Of the series on
Saturday, October 4--provided, of
course, that the Griffmen attend
properly to the little matter of
winning the American League pen
nant.
The opening game is to be held
In Washington, and It Is a FORE
gone conclusion that President
Coolidge would be present to throw
out the first ball, and give his moral
support to the Washington team
except that he has speaking en-.
gagement for that day.
The President will deliver an ed.
dress at the unwilling of the First
Division memorial on the White
Lot at o'clock that afternoon. II
will be impossible for him to attend
the ball game and to attend the un.
yelling ceremonies also. Between
the two of them he will be forced to
cancel his engagement to attend the
first game of the world series, un.
less another time arrangement can
be made.
The situation il regarded as
ominous at the White House ard
confidence IL expressed that q way

CHICAGO, Sept. %. - Twenty
nine dead, two missing, hundreds
injured. and property damage
which will run into millions, was
the toll of the tornado which
swept the Middle West Sunday,
according to partially complete
reports reaching here over Grip.
pied wires from the devastated
areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
the Dakotas and Illinois.
Twenty-Five were reported killed
at Thorp, Wis, which was re-
ported virtually annihilated by the
cyclone.
At least six more are known
to be dead at Ashland.
Lake Shipping Hit.
At Milwaukee, one man is dead
and his five companions were re-
covering from a battle with the
waves Of Lake Michigan. which.
dashed to fury by the gale, scuttled
their yacht at anchor in the barber
there.
The storm apparently swept down
from the Northwest cutting a wide
swarth through the Dakotas, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Fear For Vessels.
Throughout Wisconsin. trees and
wires were down. Five Of the six
dead at Thorp were killed by live
wire.
, At Chicago proper, the full fury
Of the storm was not felt and prop
erty damage was sight. Only out
on Lake Michigan did the gale
threaten life.
Craft were imperiled and it was
feared later details would bring
word Of boats missing and lives
lost. Several pleasure boats which
had fought through the storm all
night to a harbor here brought ex.
hausted crews who told of having
sighted other craft apparently un.
able to weather the storm. The
coast guard towed several craft to
safety but were unable to reach
others.

HUGE TANK SHIP.
MASS Of FIRE 4
Of COAST
Liner Lithuania Picks Up
lVor's Crew and Warns
Vessels Away

HALIFAX. N. s.. Sept. a.
Radio warnings to all shipping to
give the burning oil tanker Ivor a
wide berth, as a terrific explosion
probably would precede her plunge
to the bottom, were sent out today
by the Baltic American steamship
Lituania, which was speeding
towards Halifax with the crew Of
the doomed tanker.
Flames were leaping hundreds Of
feet slxyward and a thick column Of
black smoke rose in a pail over
the doomed ship as the Lithuania
stood by to pick up the crew from
the Ivor's life boats, said the mes
sages.
The big British tanker. bound
from Cardiff, Wales to philadelphia,
was standing 500 miles off Cape
Sable, Novo Scotia, when the fire
was discovered.
The crew made strenuous efforts
to subdue it, but the flames soon
were beyond control. Radio calls
for help were sent out and It was
decided to abandon the ship.
The captain ordered the boats
launched and the crew hastily
tumbled in. There was no time for
them to salvage any Of their belong
ings ex 1t the clothes they wore.
Steam was rising from the sea as
they manned the oars and pulled
away from the floating cauldron Of
blazing oil.
The distress signals had been
picked up by the Lithuania, which
rushed full speed to the scene.
According to radio reports TO
Halifax, all members Of the Ivor's
crew were picked up.

GRIFFMEN n.
FULL Of
FIGHT
Will Not Let Up Despite Com
naanding Lead in
Flag Race ii;
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER

by LOUIS A. DUUGHEH
CHICAGO, Sept. 20. With sew
en- games left to play and rush,
ing along two games in advance
of their nearest rival, the New
York Yankees, the fighting Griffs
are on their way.
Today they open a three-game
series here with the Chicago
White Sox. Next Friday, in Bos-
ton, they are due to open their
final series Of the campaign. The
American League championship Of
1924, giving Washington its first
pennant in the history Of major
league baseball, will be deter
mined by next Sunday at the lat
est. Friday may see the Griffmen
undoubted winners.
Walter May Pitch.
Walter johnson may enter the
box today If it is cool at game time.
The veteran tried to twirl in ST.
Louis on. a hot day without suffi.
cient rest. and failed. 1t looks like
cool weather here for this entire
series. which means that johnson
will be the Washington hurler to.
day in the opening game with the
White Sox.
II johnson fails to show any stuff
while preparing for the game,
George Mogridge will get the call.
Both Of these veterans need little
rest on the eve of the world series,
but the pennant race has not yet
been settled, and Bucky Harris is
sparing nobody until it is impos.
sible to lose out.
Dope Favors Griffs.
All the dope points to the fighting
Griffs to run away with the Sox
IN the series opening here today.
The Griffs have won fourteen out
Of nineteen games played with the
White Sox this season. They should
make a clean sweep Of this series.
Just which Of his pitchers he will
send against the fighting Griffs,
Johnny Evers will not decide until
before the bell rings. His pitchers
have not been doing any too well
and he may have to look at them
warming up before making his
choice.
It is much cooler here than IL
was In st. Louis This is expected
t. prove Of advantage to the
veterans in the ranks Of the com.
ing champions. The muggy days in
st. Louis took a lot out Of the vet.
Grams. who are none too powerful
at this stage of the hottest race in
years for the American League
remnant.
