"TIRLS, Play Something" is
VI Nell Brinkley's advice that
accompanies the beauteous fairy
like creatures that only her genius
can spin from a pen, and her ad-
vice is seconded by a most inspir-
ing editorial urging that all young
ladies learn to play some musical
instrument at once and thereby
further their charm and social

Alas. many of us are not at all

JACK SHARKEY ID
 WORK IN NEW YORK
Harry Wills Opponent on Co.,
 IumbuS Day to Bid for Title Shot

New York, Oct. 2-Jack Sharkey
 Boston's sensational heavyweight who will make his big bid for titu- 1 lar consideration against Harry 1 Wills. the outstanding challenger
 for the worlds heavyweight cham l pionship. under the direction of Humbert J. Fugazy at Ebbets field | on Columbus day, will do his | training in New York. Johnny Buckley. manager of the latest l luminary in heavyweight circles. made this announcement last night and added that his man will work out at Stillmans gymnasium where | all the world can sec him. Present arrangements call for Sharkey to start his metropolitan showings by Monday at the latest. 1 Undoubtedly all the scribes and l experts in the city will be on hand 1 to see the man who put George Godfrey, the Black Shadow of Lei perville. out of the heavyweight running.
 The Boston boy Is in great physi- cal condition. He has been boxing just enough during the past few months to bring him to the peak of form against Wills. His great victory over Godfrey showed that he was ready for the big test, the supreme 'shot" of his career. For if he can outscore Wills there will be no one between him and Gene Tunney, the newly crowned heavy weight king.
 Wills is working daily at Billy Grupps gym for the battle that will either make or break him in a pugilistic sense. Paddy Mullins Black Panther fully realizes that his chance to remain In the running will rest on his showing against Sharkey.
 Mullins spent most of yesterday getting sparring partners. for his man. Harry is tough on his camp mates. almost as tough as Jack Dempsey, the dethroned monarch. ever was. Few sparring mates last more than three or four days in Harry's company.
 Wills is working for speed against Sharkey. He knows that the Bos- ton strong boy is one of the clev- crest among the big fellows, and for this reason he is brushing up against lighter men. He will round out his boxing through next week, and then taper off until the day of the battle.

BROOKLYN LINEUP
 FOR FIRST GAME
FugaZy's Team to Open Up To- morrow Against Chicago Bulls

New York, Oct. 2-Coach Ed Nc. Medley, of the Brooklyn Horsemen announced his lineup last night fol the opening game against Joe Sternamann's Chicago Bulls at Com. mercial Field tomorrow afternoon Although McNeeley's line selection were decided upon early this week he held off naming a backield tc minute. His big squad includes a number of high class backfeld stars all of whom will get into the game at some time or another.
 He finally decided to use Harry Stuhldreher, of Notre Danes Four Horsemen; Earl Britton, running mate of Red Grange at Illinois; Babe Frugone. former Syracuse star. and Jimmy Bulger, of St. Mary's (Cali- fornia.) This combination has worked well throughout the practice sessions, and McNeeley feels it will develop into the most powerful pro- fessional backfleld in the country be- fore the season is many weeks old.
 Dave Sehres, former \. '. |. star; Jimmy Fitzpatrick, of St Johns; Herb Harrison, of St. Fran cis. and George Smith, the old Army star, will make up the second quartet.
 With these quartets, McNeeley Is well fortified behind the line. He has speed and power in either combina- tion. Furthermore, McNeeley has switched the men around so that they can work as well in a combi- nation. Smith has been dropping in- to Britton's job, and he galloped along with Stuhldreher, Budger and Frugone as though they had played together for several seasons.
 The line is one of the strongest in the American league. Ed. Harrison, of Boston College, and Ed. Hun singer of Notre Dame are at the ends. Tiny Nichols Of Oglethorpe and Leo Prendergast Of Lafayette are taking care of the tackles. The guard berths are filled by Red How ord. of Princeton, and Tarzan Tal- Tor. of Ohio State. Sheldon Pollock of Lafayette is at center.
 Ted Andres, Shep Bingham, Artie Scapp, Fred Forbom, Jack Sheehy, Swede Olsen, Joe Baldow and Paul Brennan, all well known to follow CTS of collegiate football, are the other linemen who will break in,
