Not one man is certain Of any

are boys who stand out here and
there, but everything is in state
of flux and will continue to re-
main so until early next week,
when the coaches will settle down
to pick out the regulars.
The squad as a whole Is in

boys need expectional condition

Willing to pay their own expenses
In order to realize two weeks Of

The entire squad pays its way

And not because the latter doesn't

The players want the trip each

That brings out the first

Next they're at camp to get

And they certainly mean busi-
ness. Twepty-eight strong. out on
the field two times a day. with
nothing overlooked in carrying
out Coach Ty Rauber'S teachings.
Coach Ty has the line to de-
volop this year. He has only two
men back from last year. namely,
johnson, . tackle, and Black, an
end. Helping him with the
linesmen at camp is Angus
Lamond, allHigh product Of last
year, and serious and energetic
assistant II there ever was one.
Both he and Rauber are giving
the lineSmen q great deal Of at

plays and strength Of plays.
Coach Ty does not have to
worry much about the backfield.
He has q star array in Larry
Pinckney. Paul Colella. Paul
Einkle and Whitley Cumberland.
Pinckney is the punter and
plunger Of the quartet while Col

the name of DeVeau on the
roster who is showing promise as
o backfield candidate. His chief
attributes are in the punting
line.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 11-That the
Washington club will go through
with q 12-game post-season barn
storming tour Of Havana, Cuba,
and thereabouts, was considered
a sure thing today.
Final arrangements are to be
ironed out tomorrow when Merito
Acosta, ex.Washington outfielder,
goes into conference with First
Baseman Joe Judge in Chicago.
President Clark Griffith. Of the
washington club, yesterday
oksyed the trip. The Old Fox
will accompany his club to the

the Griffmen.
CatcherS Herold Ruel and Roy

Buddy Myer. Jack Hayes. Ossie
Bluege and Jim Mcleod; Outfield-
ers Sammy Rice, Dave Harris,
Sam West and Earl Combs, and
Pitchers Fred Marberry, Bobby
Burke, Irving Hadley and Lloyd
Brown, are those who are expected
to make UP the expedition.
Two Washington regulars,
Heine ManuSh and Joe Gro
min, will require substitutes.
Earl Combs, Of Yankee fame,
is to suppIant Manush. Either
Jim Mcleod or Jack Hayes
will fill in for CrOnin.
Whether Manager Walter John

lematical. He is being urged to
do so.

FRENCH WRITER COMES TO GET
 NORTH STORIES
Princess Norah Calls on First Trip of Season to
 Southeast Alaska

Instead of love in the gilded ID palac es of age-old civilization, French readers of fiction are be- ginning to show preference for ad- venture on the long trails of re- mote frontiers, in the opinion of J. Alloucherie, newspaperman, nov elist and magazine writer of Paris. He is a passenger on the steam ship Princess Norah, which called here last night enroute from Van couver, B. O., to Skagway. At the Lynn Canal port, he will board the train for Whitehorse, and from there travel by automobile stage to Dawson. He seeks material for literary articles which he hopes will reflect rough and reckless char acters jostling one another along paths to vaults of gold in a land of rigorous and forbidding ele- mentS.
 "Ah, mosooo," he said in part ing as he shook hands, with jack knife bow, at the ships end of the gang plank, T am charmed all ready with my veezit to ze North"
 The Norah is on her first voyage of the season to Southeast Alaska, having taken the place of the Princess Louise for the winter The Norah, which arrived at 6:30 and departed at midnight, disembarked seven passengers at Juneau. They were Mrs. J. c. Readman, Mrs. E. A. Friend, Mrs. s. Elstead and child, Miss Irene Burke, Thomas Hall and P. Peterson.
 The vessel will be back here to- night on her return voyage to Vancouver.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Jeanne Aubert travelled thousands of miles to escape a life of wealthy leisure, and now she reports for work each night at the stage door.
 As the wife of Nelson Morris, millionaire Chicago meat packer, she could lead life with every desire granted.
 But career is more important than marriage to this slim, blonde French singer.
 After a whirlwind romance with Morris, then known as the richest student in Harvard, Mile. Aubert married him in Paris. r. She wanted to continue on the stage but he went into French courts and got an injunction pre- venting this, quoting the French law that "a wife is subject to her husband in all matters"
 She fled to Liege and to Milan,
  but he kept her out of the theatre there. Then she sailed for this country and was given one of the leading roles in the operetta, "Prin- cess Charming"
 q consider my stage career more important than any marriage l can make" she explains. My main object in seeking a divorce is be- cause he objects to my stage ap- pearances.
