Holy Cross. The Purple won, IA to 6,
last season, but may find the Brook
landers much stronger aggrega-
ton this year.
Maryland, thrilled at its victory

Greatest interest for Capital
football fans lies, of course, in
GeOrgetOwn's appearance against
West Virginia. If the HiIltOppers
had not developed unexpected
weakness at Syracuse and the
M0untalneers had not suddenly
come to life to tie Lafayette,
Georgetown might have ruled a
favOrite. Now Il is impossible to
guess what will happen out at
the Griffith Stadium Saturday.

1t was Johnson's poor luck to-
spend his entire time with a club
worthy of him only after he had
passed the peak of his magnificent
athletic form. Coming to the Wash
ington club as free agent from the
independent team in Weiser, Idaho,
he began his big league career in Au.
gust. 1907. The very next sea son,
though backed by a wret2hed outfit,
he was establishing himself as a
maker Of records.
In 1908 he won three victories in
four days from New YORK, working
on Friday, Saturday and Monday.
Two years later In a game against
the AS he famed three pinch hitters
in a row. The next year he struck
out four of the powerful Red Sox.
Clark Griffith came to Washington
in 1912, and for the first time John.
son found a team behind him that
could do something besides take a
sOckipg. For instance, he won 80
and lost IL games that season, com.
ing close to pitching his team into a
pennant.
In 1912 johnson won Is con-
SecutiYe victories. Joe Wood, Of
the Red SOx, kept pace with
him, and they are tied yet with
that mark for the leagues rec
ord.
In 1918 Johnson pitched S. con

36 victories to balance seven defeats
for the season.
For six years he ranked on top OF
the pitchers in his league in 1913,
1914, 1915. 1915, 1918 and 1924. To
indicate what a marvellous pitcher he
has been he hung up one of his rec.
ords in 1924 when he famed six of
the White SoX in a row. He had
then been IL years out there on the

1t was in 1924 that Johnson re-
ceived the honor OF being voted the
most valuable player in the league.
but this year he received the first
distinguished service medal ever
granted by the American league,
the ceremony coming on August 2,
the anniversary date of his debut in
fast company.
There was grief as well ais iov in
the 1924 world series for johnson.
With all the world yearning for him
to win, he lost the opening game to
the Giants in twelve innings and he
was the picture of tragedy as he sat
on his stool in the clubhouse after
the game.
But in the deciding game, with vic.

forget that day.
Grim tragedy attended his world

again he was called upon for the
final combat in the murk and rain
at Pittsburgh. This time he lost,
though his head was unbowed.

The Little Theatre is no more COM
mercial than these others"
The Rev. Frank S. G. Wicks wrote
the following:
81 am very glad indeed to have
you use my name expressing my
appreciation of the work done by
the Little Theatre under the able
guidance of Mr.. George Somnes. I
feel that it meets an important need
in the community, giving expression
to its literary and dramatic aspira-
tions. Your performances measure
up we'll with the best of those of the
professional stage"
Another letter from Rabbi Morris
NJ Feuerlicht:
"It is gratifying to note the con-
sistently favorable progress made
by the Little Theatre Society of In
diana under the enthusiastic and
efficient dictatorship of Mr.. George
Somnes. Tie society merits the
full-hearted support, moral and
financial, of the entire community.
1t is only such support, I believe,
that any hope of improving existing
tastes and standards OF dramatic
art can be realized. The more pop
ular such support the larger will
be the returns not only for better
and more enjoyable theater, but also
for a higher and more widespread
culture generally"

ing at the Co.
IoniaI,

The Berkell Players, housed in
their new winter quarters at the Co.

third weeks production a robust
comedy by Barry Corners, entitled
"Hell's Bells"
Corners is we'll known to the the
ater-going public. His "Applesauce"

popular hits. The regular cast Of
ten actors will enact this smart
comedy, with Alney Alba and Milton

"Hells Bells" is what might DO
termed "corking comedy" for 10
seems to be literally full of laugh
provoking situations. The New
York Evening Journal said OF it:
"It has screamingly funny lines"
From beginning to end its action is
lively and the suspense is so high
powered that an audience can feel
at the end of three hours a rollick-
ing good evening has been spent.
The play concerns itself with the
adventures of two alleged Million
aires from Arizona, one of whom
had returned to visit his home town
in Connecticut. In reality they
were penniless and the complica-
lions resulting from their deception
furnishes situations for many hum
orous mistakes. The family of one

lunatic asylum, contending that he
is incompetent to manage his vast
estate. He is saved the indignity

Many of the big revues have been
booked as we'll as several outstand-
ing dramatic attractions. The Shu-
bert season in Cincinnati, Ohio,
started this week. 1t generally gets
started around Sept. l.
Many of the shows are late getting
to the road. There are many reasons
for this but the controlling one is
thought to be the fear among pro-
ducers that road conditions are bad.
Elliott Nugent, recently seen here
with the Stuart Walker company,
has hit in "Hoosiers Abroad"
which is q new version of 1.-THE Man
From Home" by Booth Harrington
and Harry Leon Wilson. 1t is now a
Chicago hit.
Have received the following from
Miss Mary McMeans, new secretary
of the Little Theatre Society:
For the. past week the Little
Theatre Society of Indiana has
made an extensive drive to recruit
one thousand new members. And.
according to the reports, there is
no doubt but what the goal will be
reached. The following letters from
the clergy of indianapolis tend to
express what they and their fellow
churchmen think.
The Rt. Rev. Father Francis H.
Gavisk says: 81 wish you to succeed
in the campaign for the playhouse
Nowadays every one is interested in
the theater; it engages the atten-
ton of more minds than any of the
other plastic arts, and its influence
is more intimate.
1.-THE Little Theatre movement
simply takes cognizance of the uni
versal interest in the play and the
desire for self-expression in the
world of believe, which is in
every one who possesses a little
Imagination. We cannot all be pro-
fessional athletes, but that does not
hinder us from taking part in man
ly sports; neither can all be profess
sional players, but there is room for
the exercise of dramatic expression,
whether in the play or in oratory
