freshing variety.
Ten Cents q Dance" Is q story
presented in rhythms that change
their tempo as the action requires.
The girl in the film narrative Is q
dancing hostess who has the right
ideas about love and marriage
but she gets the wrong husband.
What she does to gain the romance
she Is seeking, forms the basis of q
strange situation, which IS being dis
played to all those who attend the
Capitol Theatre. It would spoil the
entertainment Of those who are going
to see the picture to tell more OF its

APT TO FALL BACK
IN SECOND SEASON
Veterans Easier to Handle
in Salary Arrangements.
Morgan May Quit.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, January 3d.
M From now until the major
/ Y league base ball teams be-
gin to report to the training
camps in February there will be
the usual diSagreements between
players and clubs as to the terms
offered for the season of 1881.
Younger players are more inclined to
be dissatisfied than those who have had
experience. The youngsters, with one
successful season to their credit, usually
have a good opinion of their probabili-
ties in the year following. That is at
tributable to enthusiasm and the good
showing they have made in the records
Unless a young player is very good
he is more apt to fall off in season
following a good one than to maintain
his pace of the previous year. Some of
this is due to overanxiety and some to
the fact that the games do not break
as well for him as in the year that first
established his skill.
Morgan May Quit.
Eddie Morgan of Cleveland is a player
of the latter kind. He was more of a
success in 1880 than any one thought
he might be. The Cleveland club Of
fered him a fair contract for 1881, but
he values his services so highly that he
has made public announcement of his
intention to quit base ball and enter
business If he is not given more salary.
If he really is dissatisfied with base
ball, the time to quit Is Immediately,
because If he lays of" for q season
there is no likelihood that he will return
to the game and do as well as he did
last Summer.
One season of complete absence from
the field can do more to spoil the future
of a young ball player than anything
else, except injury. Dan Brouthers. who
was a great first baSeman in his time
and whose counsel to young players al
ways has been full of good sense, is a
strong believer in the principle of max
ing q base ball career continuous.
Matty Never Argued.
st have seen more hurt done to young
players by their foolish IDEAS he said.
than have seen done by their foolish
escapades. The best policy is to go for
ward and make the best terms with a
club that can be made and then play
the best base ball that can be played,
because in the long run the player will
rot suffer much by contact with an
owner.
"Christy Mathewson was a great
pitcher. He never had an argument
with the New York club about salary,
and he earned the good will of every
body because he had made up his mind
that he could pitch more successfully
for the Giants than for any other club
in the United States, despite the fact
that he never got as much money as
some others. I know that he felt that
way because he talked to me about it.
Some of the youngsters would do well
to take a leaf from his book"

fieet-footed outfielder VINO could get the
Jump on any pitcher or catcher he ever
worked against. And there has been
no finer character in the game. The
wonder is that some ball club doesn't
grab of an expert who is an expert,
unless they all figure that only home
runs are now important. 1t would be
difficult to find better all-around
instructor for young talent heading
South in the next few weeks.
Down in this section they believe to
a certainty that Stribling is going to
beat Max Schmeling and that his first
opponent as heavyweight champion Will
be Primo Camera, the two-ply masto-
don. For that reason the Camera
Maloney fight will draw larger crowd
than one might first expect.
Just how much Camera can fight
will have to be tested, but there has
never been any doubt as to how much
he can draw in at the gate. He can
draw plenty and in this drab era of
pugilistic cards even fair attraction Is
like an oasis in a desert. The fact that
both Stribling and Schmeling will be
on the same card will at least give the
Winter caravan something to look at.
Stribing at last is all steamed up about
the title and has already started light
training for the big shot of his career.

ZOE SEWELL appears cinch to
perform at least one useful
function for the New York
Yankees.
The clubs acquisition of the
little infelder who saw IL years of
service with the Cleveland Indians,
most of it in starring role, should
shake somewhat the hold-out de-
mands of Lynford Larry, the smiling
kid from the West Coast.
Larry, whose play around shortstop
last season for the Yankees was at
times brilliant, at times cratic, de-
clined the first offer the club made
for his 1881 services.
No other shortstop of tested big
league quality was available TO the
club when Larry first made his de-
mands for a raise in pay. The sign
ing of Sewell changes that.
Sewen was secured primarily as a
relief infielder, but unless Larry and
the club come to terms before the
start of the season Sewell may get a
chance at shortStop during the
Spring training games.

Victory Over Hall Is One of
Biggest UpsetS Since
Hopes Early Days.

- HICAGO, January 3O.-Arthul
Thurnblad Of Chicago, who
thought he could play billiards
because he was a good geom-
etry student, is the new three-cushion
champion of the world.
The lanky Swede captured the title,
worth between $4,000 and $4,000, by
upsetting another Chicagoan, Allen
Hall, so to 43 in SO exciting innings
last night in the final match Of the
1881 championship tournament. His
victory was one of the most surprising
triumphs since the days when the IA
nous Willie Hoppe hitched up his short
trousers and toppled over the gray
matched masters of yesteryear.
Thurnblad, draughtsman by pro-
fession, played a consistently brilliant
game against Hall as he did in brush
ing through to the finals. Shaky and
cratic at the start of the champion
ship match, he made mistakes that en-
sbled Hall to gain a 25-to-lH lead at

Then he found himself and his steady
stroke, tied up the count and then took
the lead at 30-to-29 in the twenty ninth
inning.
After that it was close up and down
match until Hall was stopped by three
consecutive kisses in the forty-sixth.
forty-seventh and fortv-eighth innings
that gave the new champion lead Of
four points and shattered Halls nerves.
The hard match ended with Thurnblad
running out with a cluster of four
points. Hall had given him perfect
position after missing long, treacher-
Gus bank shot.
Play for Second Place.
More than $4,000 was wagered on the
match, it was estimated, and the Thurn-
blad hackers reaped a bumper harvest
as their man entered the match on the
short end of to 5 odds.
Thurnblad's record in his sweep to the
title was a remarkable one. He scored
the maximum of 400 points to win the
northern sectional championship and
349 out of q possible $50 in the world
tournament A grand total of TAG out
of a possible ESQ points. His only de-
feat in seven matches came at the
hands Of Johnny Layton of Sedalia, Mo.
the dethroned champion. who bested
him. so to 40, in the closest match of
the Today tournament. He is the only
sectional champion ever to win the
world title.
Hall and Layton, who won five
matches and lost two in the regulation
tournament play, will meet tonight in
a 50-poiIlt match to decide second place
which is worth $4,000 in cash plus a
higher share of the gate receipts.

Last season playing third base for
the Indians Sewell had slowed down
almost to a walking pace 1t was
the failure of his legs that caused
his release in the teeth of batting
record just one point under 800 in
100 games.
Since the close of last season
Sewell has had his tonsilS removed
and it may be that this favorite
"cure-all'' of base ball players will
help put some spring into a pair of
legs that have gone back on him at
the age of 80.
At any rate, Larry, a kid who has
yet to show he is consistent major
league performer, probably gets no
great amount Of pleasure in looking
ever Sewells batting average for the
past i years.
In only two seasons was Sewell
below 300, and then he missed the
select circle by just one point.
Larry, on the other hand, hit only
.289 last season and he found it diff
flcult at times to work into a smooth
functioning major league infield.
All of which should be very dis
couraging indeed to a. young man
1ndulging in his first big "hold-out."

My San Francisco associate,

Russ writes:

"Max's l5-year-old brother, Jacob,

little tight for Jacob, ir., who goes to

THE family is German-Jewish and

rus WILSON, the genial Alsatian
" who has trained Carpenter, Demp-

the stuff to make a flrst-class heavy
