westerners after Colorado, the favor
ite, had yielded to Utah as conference
leader. A contest with Utah could not
be arranged.
Reports that Alvin (Bo) McMillin,
coach of Geneva, would go to the

to Kentucky" McMillin said. II said
yes, suh. This evidently was taken
to mean that I would accept the job

ton fans were behind Siegal to the

for the championship.
Then Nate got married. With that
he began to slip. Somehow or other,
Siegal could not forget his home while
he was about the serious business of
training, and naturally. his fights
looked bad.
He got a chance with the then

though weighing less than he had in
years, Siegal was knocked down sew

That seemed to spell his downfall.

TIGERS SCORE NOT MADE
ON FAMOUS 'FIFTH' DOWN

BOSTON, November 10 R.-Prince-
tons famous fifth down" in Satur-
DAYS 1910 Tiger victory at Cambridge.
a play that mystitied $4,000 spectators
and allowed Jake Slagle to score a
field goal on Harvard, has been cleared
away.
The fifth" down. according to
Referee Wilmer Crowell, was in real
ity only the fourth. An error in plac-
ing the ball helped create the illusion.
Here is how he explained it:
"On the third down the Princeton
quarterback took an extended time in
calling his signals. and this caused
the Harvard guard to he drawn off
side.
Il called it no play and cautioned
the Princeton quarterback. The spe-
tators did not know this, and | doubt
if Field Judge Okeson knew whap
happened. That's why many believed
Princeton was given an extra down. y

ELDRIDGE ASKS DRIVE

Urges Police to Enforce Rule Re-

The Police Department was urged

Road hOgging." is practiced more

opinion. "Op this thoroughfare." he
said, there is room for three lines
of traffic on each side. When the
signal stops motorists at given cor
ner, the first car stopped should draw
in as near to the curb as possible,
the next to the left and the third
just right of the middle of the street.
Cars stopped subsequently should do
the same in order. Then when the
signal is given to so ahead. the three
lines of traffic should proceed abreast.
Motorists do not do this. Instead,
each one tries to get into the middle
of the street. The result is that some
get on the wrong side and a mix up
occurs when the traffic signal is
changed
obedience to just one of our regu-
lations will change all this. / am ask
ing the police to enforce it. 1t reads
as follows: A vehicle shall keep over
as far as practicable to the right-hand
curb, so as TO leave sufficient space
between the same and the center of
the street for overtaking traffic.
Police have been conducting a drive
against the practice, resulting in a
number of arrests.

ATLANTA, August 3.-Polioe today
were investigating threats against the
life of Solicitor General John A. Boy.
Kin, believed to have resulted from
the county prosecutors efforts to run
down the slayers of Bert Donaldson,
special investigator, who was killed
in a hotel here last Thursday night.
While some of the threats were
sent through the mails, Federal
authorities had not indicated early to-
day whether they would assist in the
investigation.
Meanwhile, the county prosecutor
temporarily discarded the theory that
imported Chicago gunner We're used
in the staying of Donaldson, and is
seeking connection between the
murderer and the Investigators hunt
for Jack Wilson, wanted here for
the killing of a grocer last December.
Three men are held in connection
with the crime. II. L. and G.. X.
Hughes, brothers, have been identified
by hotel employees as having been
seen in the hotel on the night of the
murder The name of the third man
had not been divulged by police.
In addition, two women, known to
have been friendly with the Hughes
brothers. are in custody in Macon, Ga
Mrs. Jack Wilson. wife OF the man
sought in connection with the killing
Of an Atlanta grocer last December,

Donaldson was killed when he
entered a hotel room. His slayers,
ambushed in a clothes closet, opened
fire on him with a shotgun.

ADJUSTMENTS
Observation-Disclosures"

Notable contributions TO Washing
tons Summer entertainment have
been made by every member of the
National Players, but it has remained
for Percy Winter, oldest member of
the company, to present what can
fairly be called masterpiece. That Is
what Mr. Winter does as Lightnin'
Bill Jones, a character made famous
by the late Frank Bacon, a character
that inevitably will live.
Bacon's work in this remarkably
felicitous role was hailed from one end
of the country to the other. The
greatest tribute that can be paid to
the performance of Percy Winter is
that it doesn't differ in the slightest
shade from that of the fine old actor
who created the role.
Mr.. Winter is peculiarly equipped
to score a triumph as the lovable,
lying, loyal Lightnin' Bill. He under
studied Frank Bacon in the role dur
ing a large part of it's great run on
broadway, and when Bacon was taken
i'll in Chicago Winter assumed the
nart and carried on with the same de-
gree of success.
1t was a hot night and every one
wanted air between the acts, but no
one hesitated to sacrifice personal COM
fort to pay the tribute that was so
we'll deserved, and that so obviously
delighted Mr.. Winter between the sec
ond and third acts, at the end of the
ever-appealing courtroom scene. 1t
was in this scene that Winters per-
Torrance scaled the heights, and no
one left the theater until he had regis
tered his sign of appreciation.
In a brief curtain speech Winter
recalled that he had been in stock In
Washington 33 years ago. His trl-
umph last night must have been much
like Bacon's a few years ago, for
"Iightnin' gave the latter his great
est success after years and years of
struggle.
The play itself probably needs no
introduction to Washington. 1t has
been fiourishing for more than eight
wears, largely because 1t is a remark
ably sound piece of dramatic writing.
While to Percy Winter goes the great
est honor, other Characterization suf
fered none in the hands of Steve Coch
rams players, augmented by several
local celebrities.
John Warner is particularly good as
Young Marvin and Mrs. Hibbard is
most happily cast as Mother" Jones.
The same can be said of Dorothy Tier
ney as Mildred Buckley. Charles
Hampden and Rhea Diveley wrest
much comedy as the judge and the
divorced, and Romano Calendar and
Maurice Jarvis make the villianies of
Thomas and Hammond delightfully."-
despicabIe. Dennis Connell, local
light, does nicely in the role of the
trick sheriff.
"Lightnin'." as Percy Winter does
1t is something that happens once in
a blue moon in stock company, re-
CARELESS of how talented it's members
may be.
1t is an event that no one should
miss.

INGENUITY SHOWN IN
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Remarkable Escapes Made
by Prisoners.

While it is difficult to imagine a
more toilsOme task than cutting
through thick masonry with pair OF
scissors, as the two prisoners VINO es-
capped recently from PentonVllle dlo,
there are cases on record OF even less
likely tools being employed for a sim
liar purpose, says the London Mail.
Five years ago all the convicts con-
fined in Marion county Jail, indian
apolis, escaped through one of their
number managing to obtain watch
makers saw, which was Struggled TO
him inside the cover of small book.
The bars of the cells were immensely
thick and made of specially tempered
steel, but this prisoner managed to re-
move their temper by wrapping round
them a cloth saturated in formalde-
hyde, the prison disinfectant. Inc
saving took many days, the marks be-
ing hidden by soap.
Alfred Thomas, an English burglar,
was employed in his cell at boxmak1ng.
He cut from his bench long fiat piece
Of iron, and fashioned 1t into chisel.
A metal pin he took off the leg Of his
table, replacing it with wooden pin,
and initiating the metal nut with a
piece Of brown bread.
Armed with pin. chisel, and the leg
Of the table as mallet, he cut away the
wood around the lock of his cell door,
opened it, and began to grope his way
to freedom. Reaching the jailer's room,
he found the keys, but came to door
which none of the keys would unlock.
He went back, found knife, and
picked the lock- He reached the exer-
else yard to find great iron ratings
that could not be scaled. Undismayed,
he dug out under them, taking out a
load of stones which would take a
laborer day to put back. He wrote
on the wall: "a pleasant night !"
Then he vanished
