POLI'S

The greatest adventure known to man will be thrillingly reconstruct ed on the screen of the comfortably cool Loew-Poli theater tomorrow when Stanley and Lingstone," with twice Academy Award winning Spen- cer Tracy turning in another mas terful performance, co-starred with Nancy Kelly and Richard Greene at the head of one of the greatest act- ing casts ever assembled. When Tracy, in the role of Henry M. Stanley, the crack young reporter on the old New York Herald, spoke those famous words, 'Dr. Living stone, I presume?" in the heart of Africa, dramas most thrilling mo- ment was Stirringly reenacted in this spectacular 20th Century Fox hit.
 Here is true and authentic pic- ture of thc thrilling adventure and the heroic adventurer who faced all the nameless dangers of unknown Africa-heat, fever, cannibals, jun gle-when his fiery publisher, James Gordon Bennett, gave him that memorable assignment: Find Liv- ingstone!"
 The film shows Stanley first as he was in 1869, a hard-boiled re- porter of bulldog tenacity who will ingly risked his neck to get his story!
 It follows him through all the thrills and dangers of his great ad- venture and shows with great dra- matic force the influence on his character and hls whole life of his meeting and subsequent friendship with the great missionary-expl who had buried himself in the black heart of unknown Africa to serve humanity. For when Livingstone died, young Stanley picked up the torch and became one of the great est men of his day.
 The chief romantic interest of the story is carried by Nancy Kelly, as the lovely daughter of the English consular agent at Zanibar, and Richard Greene, as the son of Lord Tyce. who had just returned, fever racked, from a similar but unsuc- cessful expedition.
 Other splendid actors in the film are Walter Brennan, Charles Co., burn, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Henry Hull and Henry Travers.
 On the same program is another big hit, "The House of Fear" a spine-tingling, nerve-chilling mys- tery drama featuring William Gar gan and Irene Hervey.
 Attractions ending their engage ment at Loews this evening are Hotel for Women" and '"Tfs Spell binder"
 "The Wizard of OF" is coming to Loew's Poli. Be sure to watch for this gigantic screen technicolor sen- sation, the biggest triumph since Snow White.

ELECTION LAWS
 CONFUSING HERE
Socialists Awaiting Legal Opinion About Place on
 Voting Machines

The legal steps necessary to se- cure a place on the voting machines in the city election this fall were discussed at a meeting of the So- cialist party last night. Still unde- cided is the question of whether or not the party must file nominating petitions on behalf of every candi- date on its ticket or whether 1t au- tomatically is given place on the machines.
 An opinion on this point is now being prepared by Corporation Counsel Harry Schwartz of Bridge port.
 There is also considerable con- fusion over conflicts between the eelction laws and the fact that the city election will not be held until November IA, having been delayed until that time by vote of the legis- lature.

DOG DAYS

DOG DAY6 The sun goes down a fiery red dog Behind clouds rising like towers; The air heavy, close and dead Portends good old thunder showers The lightning crackles with fiendish glee Tracing patterns cross the sky; Each flare anticipates roaring noise, The thunder's prompt reply. Most every day the air is heavy, Morning struggles through haze; Each day more and more the windows stick So we know it's those darned dog days. The sun goes down fiery red dog Portending day of real heat; Oh, summers all right sometimes nayhap, But dog days are no treat.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20.-Long
John Mize, the corn-fed robust
farm boy from Jawja, found his
hitting eye early enough this
summer for smuggling splurge
that has brought him the Nation
al League batting championship.
AT least the seeking crown is
apparently all wrapped up and
waiting for Long John to pick it
up come October LIST. AS the Sc
Nor circuit campaign moved into
the home stretch Mize was hit
ting around 1866 and had lead
of some so points on his nearest
challenger.
This is John Robert Mics
fourth year as first baseman for
the st. Louis Cardinals. In other
seasons he has had to play second
fiddle to Joe (Ducky) Medwick
but John has always thought he
was better hitter than hand
some doe and now he has some
figures to back up his claim. The
Cards will hear of these when
contract-signing time rolls
around.
John has come close to
winning the batting cham
pionship in two of his first
three seasons in the majors.
He was runner-up to Med
wick with a 1854 average
two seasons ago. Last year
he trailed Ernie (Schnozzle)
lombard of Cincinnati by a
few points with 1897 mark.
Asa freshman in 1896 John
hit .32e.
Johns trouble has always been
that he can't seem to start bang
ing the ball until hot weather ar
rives. During April, May and
well into June Johnny sports a
puny average for such robust
guy. Then he starts powdering
the ball. In past seasons john
ny's late start has given his rivals
a big advantage that he hasn't
quite been able to overcome. For
instance, last year Mics hitting
was so weak that frankie Frisch
actually henched him for several
weeks.
In order to finish among
the leaders Johnny has had
to hit around 400 during the
last month to level off his
earlier low average. This
year he woke up soon enough
to overhaul Morris Arnovich
of the Phillies. who had set
the pace during the first-half
of the season.
Mize not only has a crack bat
ting average but stands second
in the league in the all import
ant department of runs-batted-in.
His Slugglng has played a major
role in the Cardinals threat to
Cincinnati's pennant hopes.
Johnny entered baseball with
Greensboro in 1881. He was with
Elmira in 1882, with Greensboro
and Rochester in 1888 and with
Rochester in 1884 and 1885. He's
never hit lower than .317. He's
26, stands 6 feet 11z inches tall,
and weighs EOS.
