The 1-B class has made its first
picture show. The story of 1.-THE

were drawn of various happenings

pasted on strips of paper. The
next afternoon this was rolled off
as a movie.
Great interest was shown and
many were the laughs at seeing
their own work in their first movie.

Youngster Badly
Burned By Blast

Bobby Horne, 10-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. o. G.. Horne, is con-
fined to the ramny home today
with severe burns as the result of
a gas explosion on Sixth street near
Lenrey late yesterday afternoon.
Workmen from the gas company
uncovered a leak in one of the
mains and placed a barricade
around the trench, with lighted
lanterns at either end. A group of
youngsters, of whom Bobby was
one, were playing around the
trench. He entered the trench to
show one of his comerades where
the leak was anG had just climbed
out when the gas became ignited,
presumably from the warning Ian
terms.
The youngster was enveloped in
the flames and sustained severe
burns which will keep him con-
fined to his bed for at least a
week, but he had the satisfaction
Of claiming a better than Olym-
pic record for the time it took him
to run from the trench to his
home.
Bobby Horne's speed record was
beaten all hollow Saturday after
noon by a kitten which got caught
in the press at The Press office.
The kitten had CLIMBED into the
press unseen by workmen and when
it was started up pitiful shrieks
split the air. The press was stop
ped Immediately and roller re-
moved to rree the kitten. Once
free it would have been easier to
catch a lightning oolt than a
mighty scared kitten, which head
ed out the door and due west.

Surrounded by an exceptionally
fine cast, Norma Shearer scores
another decided success in "Smilin'
Through" her newest film, which
opened last night for three days
stay at United Artists theatre.
Frederic March, Leslie Howard,
o. P. Heggie, Ralph Forbes, Beryl
Mercer, David Terrence, Margaret
Seddon and Forester Harvey have
important roles in this production
of the stage play in which Jane
Cowl made one of her greatest
successes.
Based on the story of an Eng
lish family romance, "Smilin'
Through" has slight war back
ground, but it is not to be classed
as war picture.
Miss Shearer plays dual role in
one of which she portrays young
English woman in the year 1868,
the other showing her as the
sweetheart of a man whose father
had ruined her guardians ro-
nance. The air of sophistication
which has heretofore been present
in her film plays, is absent in
"Smilin' Through which is pure
romance from start to finish.
Leslie Howard, as the Old Eng
lish nobleman, who tries to break
up a modern romance to avenge
his own tragic love affair, does a
splendid bit of acting in this role.
Tonight marks the last showing
of THE Phantom of Crestwood" at
Fox Imperial theatre. This is the
play which was heard over the
radio by millions of Americans,
who participated in the contest to
write the ending of the story. Be-
cause of this feature no persons
will be seated during the last Is
minutes of the film.
"The Phantom of Crestwood" is
a thrilling mystery play, which
keeps the interest of the audience
at high pitch as they try to solve
a mystery Staying. Ricardo Cor
tez, Karen Morley, H. B. Warner
and "Skeets" Gallagher have the
leading roles.
The management announces in
connection with the Wednesday
and Thursday shows that the
Schmeling-Walker fight pictures
will be shown.

Secret drills, formation and
perfection of surprise plays, and
the Standardization with the
ground on which they must wage
battle, are the most important
advantages the Colonials will de-
rive from use of the stadium.
In past years the Buff and
Blue gridders worked under
handicaps in these respects when
they practiced on the open
spaces of the Tidal Basin grounds
and played their games wherever
a field with seating facilities was
available.
BY training in Griffith Stad-
FUN, the Colonial coaches feel
confident of precluding repetition
OF a nearly disastrous incident
several years ago when scouts of
a certain opposing team, which
was rated weaker, copied their
best attacking play, with the re-
suit that this weapon was eff
fectually combatted in the subse-
duent game and G. w. barely
pulled through to victory.
Alabama, Iowa, Oklahoma, Will
liam and Mary, North Dakota
State, Catawba and Westminster
are to be met by the Colonials IN
the stadium. Coach Jim PiXlee
will start his charges off on the
preliminary training grind one
week from tomorrow at Camp

GOLF
CHA|NP ILL

BOSTON, Aug. 27.-While the
British team practiced daily for
the historic Walker Cup matches
next week, two leading stars of
the American contingent were
confined by illness today.
However, there was a possibility
that both Captain Francis Ouimet
and Jesse SWeetser would be in
good shape when the interna-
tional tournament gets under way
next Thursday.
Ouimet, ma tional amateur
champion was stricken with chills
and a high fever in his tWo-day
match with Gene Sarazen, which
the professional star won 4 and 2.
Today Ouimet was reported much
better
Sweetser, the most experienced
member of the American team
next to Ouimet was ordered to
bed a week ago by his family
physician.

She came right back, however,
with a three on the ninth, while

That was when the tide was

way out-and if you want to

In fact, they vision a great
future for the youngster, who
has shown so exceptionally we'll
since donning Griff livery.
"The kid has plenty of
stomach" was Owner Clark
Griffith's comment today.
This is a distinct aid to any
pitcher trying to make the
grade in the big show. It's
true, maybe, that McAfee needs
little more polishing, but
he'll get that as he goes along,
particularly if he continues to
pitch as well as he has since
joining u.s."
McAfee, for a fact, looks like
a pretty capable prospect. His
first appearance before Manager
Johnson was in the old.timerS
game, August Is, when he
pitched against Harris, Peck and
the others.
He wasn't noticed much that
day because of all the excite
ment. but later on he made
everyone perk up when he was
sent to the mound against the
Chicago White Sox in the second
game of a doubie-header on AL
gust 10.
Here, he hurled an exceptional
game and was forced to the limit
because the SoX proved such
stubborn foes. He beat them
3 to l and granted but six hits
all the while.
Faced Indians Next
The youngsters next assign
ment was against the Cleveland
Indians last Monday. In this
instance he appeared as a relief
finger and once again played a
stars role.
He relieved Gen. Alvin Crowder
in this game in the ninth inning
with the score tied at A ano
two out. He retired the first
batter to face him, and proceeded
to blank the Indians for foul
more rounds-just long enough tc
enable the Griffs to shove over
the run which gave him his sec
ond straight triumph in as many
official appearances.
1t was in this eXtra-inning con
test that Washington club Off
Gals noticed McAfee more thar
ever before. All because the
pitcher had to bear down plenty
to come through a winner.
"His courage was remark
able in that game" said Owner
Griff today in reminiScing about
the incident. Eyes, he showed
so much that / think he'll be
a success with u.s."
Curley Ogden, former Grift
pitcher, recommended McAfee to
Owner Griffith. Curley TOLD
Griff that he was a great pros
pect, and so far Ogden's ideas
have been correct.
McAfee. who has an excellent
curve ball, pitches at all times
with his head. Quite unusual fol
a youngster trying to make thf
grade in the big leagues. He
studies each batter, and this L

The thoroughness with which
the good old Blue and Gray
has soft pedalled the general
subject of football is equalled
only by the thoroughness with
which previously it decided to
go in very strongly for the
sport and which it actually did
to the extent of getting itself
from year to year some of the
best teams in the East, so
much so in fact that it was
being invited here and there
and thither and yon to disport
