ROCKIES PLAY
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Connie Mack is wondering if the
fans of Washington will love hin
in September as they did in May
Maybe you recall the merry month
when the White Elephants chal
lenged the might of the New York
Yankees and the name of the lean
Tioga seer was the toast and the
boast of the nation. Crowded
stands greeted the Mackmen. They
played to more than 175,000 ex'
cited folks in a week. But that,
as Connie will tell you, was in May,
when all the grass was green. Now
it is September, and the leaves are
turning brown.
To Bucky Harris this coming of
the Athletics is most welcome.
Against the quality of opposition
he can turn the game over to his
rockies and feel that he has better
than the usual chance to win with
the noviceS.
1t is the intention of Harris and
Griffith to start Joe Kohlman, the
no-hit hero of Salisbury, tomorrow.
The probabilities are that Ray
PhebuS will pitch against George
Jasper Casper. Casper used to give
the Griffs fits in the early season.
PACK POWER
Now don't forget that there is
power in that Athletic team.
Plenty of power and peril for a
pitcher that gets careless. Con-
slider Bob johnson, the hard-hit-
ting outfielder of the Macks.
johnson set a new American
League record by hitting in six
runs in one inning. Playing
against the Chicago White Sox,
johnson hit a homer with the
bases loaded, and single that
drove in two runs.
Wally Moses yields little ground
to any of the boys around the cir
cult in his department.
WATCH CHANGES
1t will be interesting to watch
the operations of the Washington
Brigade of Youth. Harris may de-
eide to retain Lewis at third base
and play WaSdell at first base,
Bloodworth at second base, Tres
hook at shortstop. Or he may
juggle the club to keep the balance
OF experience on the speed and
temper of youth.
George Case will be in the out
field, definitely and just as long
as he plays the sort of ball he has
played recently. That boy looks
like a blown in the glass big
Lacquer. He came out of Trenton,
which is not the biggest town in
the world, but he is going to be
well known in the big cities before
many moons elapSe.
Harris continues to speak en-
Enthusiastically of Jimmy Blood
worth. The youngster has a lot
to learn, just as Wasdell has a lot
to learn, but he is picking up
knowledge and style rapidly. Keep
him tabled for 1889, and maybe
next year.

QUOTE YANKEES
EVEN AGAINST
G|ANTSIN SERIES
BY PAT ROBINSON
QnternationaI News Sports Writer)

NEW YORK, Sept. Is Q.N.S)
Along Broadway today several OF
the leading bookmakers say the
Yankees will not be any better
than even money against the
Giants in the World Series.
They are taking for granted, OF
course, that the Cubs haven't a
chance to win the National League
bunting.
The bookies are basing their
forecast on the fighting qualities
of the Giants, on the fact that
they are hot" right now, on the
further fact that they have two
great lefthand 9rs in Melton and
Hubbell, and on the dubious sup
position that q lefthander can
stop the yankS.
We can string along with the
bookies on everything but that
last crack. Nobody is going to beat
the YankS merely because he
throws with his left hand. Only a
very good ieft-hander enjoying one
RI his best days is going to beat
the YankS and if he beats them it
will not be because he is lefthand-
ed but rather because he is pitch
ing great ball. The same applies
to a Highlander.
NOTICE NO WEAKNESS
It's true that Gehrig, Dickey
and Selkirk are lefthand hitters
but nobody has ever noticed that
they were ticularly weak
against lefthand pitchers. And it
must rot be overlooked that Di
Maggie, Lazzeri, Hoag, Crsetti and
Powell are righthand hitters and
they don't figure to be round
heeled against any lefthander.
Lefty Grove has been a pretty
fair country lefthander for many
years, but he never was a ball on
fire against the YankS. And it
must be remembered, too, that
the Yanks have a pretty fair left
handler themselves in Senior Lefty
Gomez. He beat the Giants twice
last fall and he may repeat. His
last two starts were three and
four-hit Shutouts, so it may be
assumed the goofy senior is pretty
hot himself right now.

'AUER SHINES AS
 MONKEY YINLOCAL
 POWELL PICTURE

Director La Cava's retentive mem-
 ory was responsible for one of the
 funniest sequences in Universal's
 My Man Godfrey starring Will
 liam Powell and Carole Lombard,
 at the Capitol Theatre now.
 At party some six years ago, La Caya was astonished and convulsed with laughter by the monkey shineS' of Mischa Auer, generally cast in heavy dramatic roles. La Cava watched Auer initiate a |champing chimpanzee or gallump- ing gorilla, swinging from rafter and chandelier, cavorting over chairs, tables and piano top, for all the world Ike a hairy ape. The director decided then he would use that comedy hit in a picture some day. He told his idea to Eric Hatch and Morrie Ryskind at the first My Man Godfrey story confer ence. Result: They wrote the side splitting scene into the script and Auer proved to be riot before the camera.

TOURIST TRAVEL !. TO BREAK MARK, ! SAYS M'KENzIE
Predicts Big Year for AL aska-North Becoming

NO~e'eSAS e(eNAeJ AAehNDf
 Tourist travel to Alaska through the Seattle gateway will break all records this year, according to K D. Mckenzie, assistant general pas Senger agent of the Alaska Steam ship Company, who was in Seattle recently after a tour of the East apd Midwest.
 MT. Mckenzie made a survey of prospective tourist travel to Alaska during the 1887 season and pre- diets that all records will be broken
 T talked to our agents in two dozen cities and they all were opti- mistic on prospects for tourist trav- lel to Alaska the coming spring and summer" said Mir Mckenzie.
 My tour convinced me that prosperity has returned. More peo- pie are travelling and Alaska ap- peals to them. It looks like the big gest tourist year in the history ot the Territory. There will be many special parties.
 Some folks back east wanted to know when navigation to Alaska started, believing that all ports in the North are ice-bound in winter but I found that more people are talking about Alaska than ever be- fore and the Territory is becoming better known as a tourist attrac- tion."
 MT Mckenzie visited Chicago New York, Philadelphia, Washing ton, Boston, Albany, Rochester Syracuse, Buffalo, Portland, Me. Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, St Paul, Milwaukee, Duluth, St. Louis Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha Denver and other cities. He left Seattle January 26.

NEW YORK, April 13.-At three o'clock on Easter afternoon ir New York, a chill March wind blew On Fifth Avenue, a few valiant strollers, garbed in holiday finery still were seen.
 And at that hour a wafer-thir man with glasses and a young wo- man walked along 50th Street, bent cn visiting the thin mans es- tranged wife and another daugh- ter. A block from fashionable Beekman Place they entered a walk up apartment house. Perhaps, as they glanced toward the river they recalled the brutal murder nearby of young and beautiful Nancy Tit terton year before.
 The man was Joseph Gedeon, an upholsterer; the young woman with him was his married daughter. They ascended four flights, and entered Miss Gedeon's apartment. A Pekinese in the living room re- mained silent.
 Find Three Slain
 Going to the bedroom. they came upon stark tragedy On the bed, Iunclothed, lay Veronica Gedeon Loveliest of models, the toast of ar Itists, she might almost have been ,,oci,,n ,,ooo y,,ora bod if not Ixao,, for the disorder of the room and the cruel marks left by a sadistic slayer. Under the bed. partly dis robed, lay the body of Mrs. Mary Gedeon, her mother.
 Father and daughter had seen the worst, but they had not seen Iall. In another bedroom opening off the opposite end of the living room, lay the body of Frank Byrnes, a lodger. Gedeon summoned the police.
 As they arrived, uniformed and in plain clothes, the Pekinese reused itself and parked shrilly.
 Third Time in Year
 It was the third time in little more than a year that a fiendish killer had given New York's crack cops baffling crinle-with mea- ger clues Thrice a young and beautiful woman had been struck down-Nancy Titterton Ca piece of string led her slayer to the chair) i;

 Rear is feet 1, he has metic- ulous air. An observer cannot help being impressed by him--his height, his blue eyes. white hair and neat, double-breasted suit = but he re- mains noncommittal even when he is talking, which is rare indeed. He doesn't speak sentence when la word will suffice. When he is not talking, he wears a poker face.

down Saturday afternoon in his re-
hearsal lair on the top floor of the
Joe Brown Studios over on G. street,
Harry was discovered draped lam
guidly over a bench, giving the i'm
preston that he'd been thrown at it
and had stayed where he hit, and all
he could do for some time was mutter
Where can We rehearse that's cool?"
Watch Mr.. Crosley in action for
awhile and you'll discover the reason
Tor his concern. This weather isn't so
bad, he admits, II you don't move, but
as soon as you start little action
oh, boy. And Harry moves when he
works. The two most oyerWorked
phrases in his vocabulary are hold
it," and Tets take it again" And
when he takes it again he usually is
up in front OF the girls, practically
knocking himself out with the action
OF showing them how the steps should
be done.
He. knows, too, how the steps
should be done. You can tell that
by watching him dance and by watch
ing him as he runs over a chorus of
music In his mind, fitting routines to
1t. Background for his knowledge
comes from long term of vaudeville
when vaudeville was something to be
in. from dance production work for
New York musicals and from two
and half year session in the film
musical factories in Hollywood.
Mr.. Crosley is not one Of those chaps
whose appearance bellies his job. He
looks as though he might be an actor,
director, dance director or some
body connected with the theater.
Dragged away from his labors at 6
O'Clock to give the girls an hour and
half to rest, he talks OF many things.
Hollywood he likes, because OF the
weather, the scenery and the eternal
intrigue that is the picture business.
He likes dance directing for films,
too. because sound stages give him so
much scope for the expression of his
ideas. He also can be induced, at the
proper hour, to delve into those dis
