East Orange, N. J., ranked No. ) and
No. 8. respectively.
Allison was a member Of the
American zone squad last year and
has played brilliantly in the south
ern tournaments this spring. His
recent victory over Hunter in the
annual Mason and Dixon toWna-
ment at White Sulphur Springs, Va,
makes his place on the team doubly
certain
Wilbur r. Coen, Jr., the Kansas
City yOungster who was a substitute
on the European zone team last
year, is not likely to win a berth on
this years team.
Coen is one of the best forehand
players in the country, but the rest
of his game is weak by comparison
and there is nothing to indicate
that he has rounded out his strokes

RED DANCE" IS NOW
 SHOWING, COLISEUM

"The Red Dance" which opened as the feature attraction on the screen of the Coliseum Theatre last night, proved to be a picture that thrilled and held at concert pitch the interest of the capacity audience who witnessed it. Dolores Del Rio, Charles Farrell and Ivan Linow, a giant Russian are cast in the principle roles and give splendid performances.
 Some of the sequences, those showing Del Rio performing her Red Dance, are made in technicolor. There are plenty of thrills, fine romance and scenes of unusual in terest in this production The czar and his family, Rasputin, the black monk, Trotzky and other fa- nous characters of the revolution play their party and help round a nearly perfect entertainment. The direction of Raoul Walsh is splen- did and the maker of What Price Glory" proves that he is still the master of them all.

JUNEAU IS NOT
 FR0NTIER,SAYS
 REGENT CALLER
As Cosmopolitan as Any Other Capital City, Says
 Writer in N. Y. Sun

There is adventure to be met with in Juneau, both in her society and her outdoor life And it's a pleasant place to pretend you're roughing it on the frontier. But don't let them jolly you; it's no real frontier" so writes Miss Fran ces Grinstead in a recent edition of the New York Sun.
 Miss Grinstead spent several weeks in this city during the past summer. Her impressions of the town, showing an observation both keen and interested, are enter tainingly set forth in the article. "They say this small town is the frontier But how can it be frontier when there's a boat or two every day in the summer, when you may go to the talkies any evening, when a woman can buy smart dresses and hats in the shops if she is not too hard to fit, and when entertainment includes such events as a Cadman concert and the London Glee Club Sing CTS"
 In fact, Miss Grinstead found that Juneau has the cosmopolitan spirit and the diversified interests of any capital city" And she could not discover "any Alaskan lone Illness in Juneau, either" She wrote interestingly of the social life here, the industries of the city, mention ing the Alaska Juneau and it's ac- tivities, the scenery in which the town is set, mountaing climbing and other diversions. The article was illustrated by good reproduc- tion of photograph Of the city.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The de- fenseless old record book took a good pounding this year.
 One week after Rogers Hornsby set new modern National league mark for runs scored, the National league home run record for one season was equalled by Mel Ott and the two base hit mark for the same circuit was dropped for the count by Johnny Frederick.
 Tom Zachary took a leading position in the big parade by cap turing his twelfth victory of the season and making himself a fav- orite to become the first major league regular to finish season without losing ball game.
 With Eornsby it was case of setting one record and yielding ex- elusive claim to another one he had previously set. Chicago's great second baseman made a new high total in home runs for one season in 1922 when he hammered out 42. This is the one young Ott cqualled.
 The modern record for runs scored, which the Rajah beat, was established by Kiki Cuyler in 1925. Cuyler's total was IA. Hornsby topped this by several counters.
 The record for two base hits which Frederick, Brooklyn fresh- man, beat, was 50 for one season. Paul Waner set it in 1928.
 This fellow Zachary, whom they call "Old Tom,' although he is, only g., has turned in a perform ancc which perhaps overshadows all of the others.
 It's all the more remarkable be- cause Jonathan Thomas-that is Zach's full given name-was cast overheard by Washington last year and landed with the Yankees only because the champions were stag gering around under the burden of 3 second class pitching staff.

Through series of consultations
 the National City Bank, with its
 allied financial institutions, has
 become the greatest financial in
 stitution of America. Its assets
 are in excess of two-and- half
 billions of dollars. Among the lat
 est of the major financial trans actions of the National City Bank was the absorption of the Farmers Trust Company. The latter conl-. Ipany was reorganized and called the City Bank Farmers Trust Cont Ipany.
 James H. Perkins, who became President of the Farmers Trust Company in 1921, was retained as President of the City Bank Farmers Trust Company. He is also a member of the Board of Directorf of the National City Bank.
 Charles E. Mitchell, probabl, Americas leading banker, was pr,- noted from the Presidency of the National City Bank and Presidency of the National City Company to be President of both institutions in 1921. Last spring April, 1929, he was made Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National City Bank, the National City Company, the City Bank Far mers Trust Company and the In- tcrnational Banking Corporation.

JACKIE COOGAN IS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

It isn't more than a coupe of years back that the wiseacres of the films wagged their heads and opined that Jackie Coogan would soon be at the age where it would be impossible to find suitable screen stories for him.
 As an eXample-there's Buttons, , -Goldwyn Mayors new sea story, playing at the Palace for the last two times tonight
 Jackie plays the role of a page or bellboy on great ocean liner in an amazingly dramatic adven- ture of the sea. None of the old ship stuff about tits on a mod crn liner, a veritable floating ho- tel, where science has mastered all the hardships of the sea-but where adventure is just as interesting as in the days of the clipper ships
 Buttons is one of the cleverest things Jackie has ever given the screen as well as perhaps his most pretentious offering to date.

MINOR LEAGUE CHIEF
 URGES SPLIT SEASON

TOPEKA, Oct. 14.-A revolution ary change in m TOT league baseball schedules, designed to bring sea- sons to close semi mi-annually with a scramble by all clubs for ranking positions, is advocated by Dale Gear, president of the Western league and Western association.
 His idea is to split the playing season for all minor leagues, from class A on down. The last eight days on each half season would be left open. Subsequently schedules would be arranged so first and sec- ond place clubs in each circuit would meet in final series" those last eight days.
 Third and fourth place teams also would be paired, and so on to cellar contenders.
 MT. Gear believes such an ar rangement would eliminate lopsided contests that so frequently result when a pennant race is decided early in the season, and the appar- ent winner closes it's schedule against tail-enders.
 Keener competition under the proposed change, he points out, should result in better games and bigger gate receipts for worried small club owners.
 He intends to recommend such change this fall to the two leagues of which he is president.

165-POUND BACKFIELD
 BEATS REBOUND SET

! DURHAM, N. C., Oct. 14.-Duke University coaches had their choice this year between a quartet of backs weighing ITS pounds, and another set weighing, 165 pounds. They are choosing the latter.
 The 175-pound quartet is a hard running set, with tremendous pow CT.
 But the 165-pounders fit in better with Coach Jimmy Dehart's plans for a fast, deceptive attack with lots of passing.
 Sam Buie, a halfback, is one of the best passers in the country, and Glenn Robeson, the other halfback, sophomore, is the greatest pass receiver and carrier ever seen at Duke.
 The fullback, always an import ant cog of a team coached by De- Hart, is the little Jankoski, who led the country with 19 touchdowns in 1927.
