PLEASING VAUDEVILLE BILL

The new vaudeville bill at the New Palace the last half of the week is a very pleasing program and very entertaining. The opening act, Carvet and Nerena, do some very clever tap dancing in a novelty way that occasions much applause. The McAllister children are very en- tertaining in their song and dance offerings. They have several spe- 1ialties that they perform to per lection. The youngest of the chill dren is one of the finest dancers that ever graced d New Britain stage. The child does a Charleston that deserves credit, not only be- cause of her age but because of the perfection of the dance. There are three of the children in the act and all are very much talented. The third act, Ginger Snaps" has some very clever bits that bring laughter 10 the audience and much applause from them. Basil and Keller in their comedy bit entitled Recruit ing" carry on the laughing work and tho audience has a laughable time through the whole act, Hori and company are very pleasing in their barrel working stunts and diff ficult feats in the air. There is also some clever dancing by one of the members of the company.

was to be followed, ending with the
usual brief but strenuous rounds
with his sparring partners. This is
Saturday" in the champions train
ing camp, for Wednesday has been
picked as his day of rest. This
shift of the Sabbath was decided
on because Dempsey thought he
needed one days layoff week and
because Sundays big crowds were
a financial asset too good to miss.
For the first time during the pres
ent training season, Dempsey opened
up Monday. his vicious ~battering

Around the A. A.
By Eddie Ash

The Indians were in Toledo today
to open a series with the smuggling
Hens and the Bushmen will remain
there through Friday. Toledo Is
pointed toward the third-place po-
sition held by the Tribe and no doubt
will give the Hoosiers much anguish
the next few days.
The Hens have two $4,000
FASTENERS in the lineup. Lebourveau,
outhelder. has been sold to the
Giants for that sum- and English,
shortstop, has been sold to the Chi
cago Cubs for a like amount. The
players are not to join the major
outfits until next spring.
Toledo made 1t four straight over
Columbus by winning Monday. 1t
was the only fracas staged in the
A. A. Lyons allowed Toledo only
six hits, but he walked four men and
he was supported poorly. Veach got
three of the Hens six blows.
That Leo Cotter deal that sends
the Colonel first baseman to the Chi
cago Cubs after the A. A. season
looks like another cover up" affair.
1t is said the Giants covered him up
for Louisville last year. He Is
eligible for the draft.
Outflelder Duncan, Inflelder Kill
duff and Johnny Corriden, coach,
members of the M.llers, drew pen
alties from Prexy Hickey Monday
for a run-in they had with Umpire
Connolly Saturday. Kilduff got
ten days and the others five. Sus-
pensions became effective starting
today.
1t is said Milwaukee has lost its
fear of Indianapolis i'm the A. A. flag
fight and is only concerned about
Louisville. The Indians are seven
games behind, a long way at this
stage. Bush's pitchers have been
unable to hold leads recently and
numerous runs don't mean much to
the Tribe.
1t is not thought Maurice Shan
non will be able to play for anoth-
er week Shortstop Schneider is
bothered by a sprained thumb on
his throwing hand. Luck muse
turn shortly or the Indians will be
definitely out of the race within a
few days.

Leaders Have Tough Series
Ahead With Philadelphia
and Cleveland.

. NEW YoRK, Aug. 81. - The
American League contest, which for
weeks has been regarded as a run
away affair for the Yankees, began
to. assume the aspect of a race to-
day. Attention. hitherto centered
on the exciting see-saw in the Ma
tional League, shifted in part to the
junior circuit.
The Yanks, galloping along in
front, have been slipping. Only six
and a half games in the lead, they
opened a seven-day series with the
formidable Philadelphia Athletics to-
day which may drag them down TO a
point where the issue will be unde-
cided until the closing week.
The Yanks themselves can see
rocks ahead. 1t will be a struggle
to get the upper hand of the Ath-
letics in the series which ends with
a double-header in New York on
Labor Day. Then only a brief breath
ing spell and the Hugmen must
lock horns in Cleveland in a six
game series with the fighting sec
opd-place Indians.
The three-team National League
deadlock remains unbroken, and
will continue until one of the teams
cracks. Not the tiniest crevice has
yet. The leading Pitts
burgh Pirates and the St. Louis
Cards, in third place only a game
behind, divided honors in n twin
bill Monday and met in another dou-
ble-header in st. Louis today.

four points behind the Pirates,
met the Cubs again today, after halt.
