Drills and Athletic Con
tests. Forty troops of Boy Scouts, composing
tho Philadelphia Council and more than
"KO In number, held their annual field
day exercises at the Philadelphia Ball
Park, Broad and Huntingdon streets this
afternoon. For the first time residents
of this city wcro afforded an opportunity
to sto the much-lauded Scout3 perform
a: such exercise, for heretofore tho
drills have been held In camps outside

they have rehearsed many weks
Promptly at I o'clock the formal open

raising of the American flag by the
Nautical Scouts and the Bugle Corps of
Troop No. 3. This was followed by
bridge building work and the erection
of a signal tower by experts of Troop
No. S3 and 57, who showed by the pre
cision of their movements that they
were accustomed to tho difficult taEk.
A "setting up" drill was glen by Troop
S3, accompanied by the band of Troop
No. 21. This was followed by wood chop
pint, wall scaling and lariat throwing
contests by members of Troop No. 41. A
barrel tilting contest by Scouts from
Troop No. 40 gave the spectators much
amusement when successful thrusts from
extremely formidable looking poles dis
lodged several contestants from positions
on their respective barrels. The bandag
ing contest and semaphore signaling con
test were followed by the awarding of

Mrs l-eopold was well known about the

IN FULL BLAST
In This Section Sport Lovers
Can Choose Between Foot
ball, oGlf, Baseball, Soc
cer and Racing.
Autumn sports have been placed on to
day's menu card for service to an eager
public with a lavish hand. Throughout
the country athletic events will attract
the attention of P0 per cent, of the popu
lation. The resounding thud of the ln-
I flated leather will create the moat pro-
1 found auricular disturbance, yet there are
I countless other sports which will not be
performed upon the gridiron that will do
their share toward malting this another
successful athletic Saturday.
1 In Philadelphia the largest percentage
1 of athletic followers will watch for tho
, rtsult of the Ponn-Swarthmoro fotoball
1 game, though only a few, lompnratlvelj
! speaMug. will be at Tranlilln Field to see
I the actual play. While the Garnet and
Blue team is not particular!) strong this
season, the great number of followers of
Ills little tiuhurbnn eleven will keep up
local giidiiijii interest to the high key at
which It was pitched when Penn met
the Navy two weeks ago.
Besides the collcgu game at Term theta
are two high school fotoball contests of
more than passing Interest. They will
also be played In the afternoon West
Philadelphia High meets Williamson It
will not be an easy game for the Orange
and Blue that Is, If the Mtength of the
Williamson team tan be judged by Its
good showing asjin t'-'ntral High. The
I other "prep" game of greatest local In

Tills morning in si hedulM the Inter-
scholastic croas-country run. This event
will take place over the short course in
I Falrmount Park. All of the entries have
I been In several dayB, and tho run was
! expected to draw a big crowd. The class
of runners In this race is the best that
has taken part in such an event in some
time, and It would not be surprising to
see one of the most thrilling finishes of
the present season Penn Treshmen will
take part in this run.
At Z 30 o'clock this afternoon the Fair
mount Park harness meeting will be
held. This event is always a big drawing
card, bringing more people Into the city
perhaps than any other one event of the
day.
At Holmeshurg the Quadrangular Club
will give a shoot. This gun meeting
will he largely attended and the con
testants will be among the best per
furmers In this section.
The baeeball season still hangs on. at

Qolf Is still holding a section of the
limelight. There nro no games In Phila
delphia today that would attract any
but tho dved-tn-the-wool bug. Yet tho
annual fall tournament of the Country
Club of Atlantic City has a fine meeting
now In full progress. Some excellent
golf was played jehterday, and more
was predicted for today. Among the
prominent Philadelphia golfers who en
tered that tournament were Spencer D.
Wright, Jr.. G. Scott, X. A. Burrows, H.

A strong delegation of Red and Blue
cross-country runners left yesterday for
Bellefonte, where the Penn men were
booked to compete with the Penn Stute
team. This meeting Is one of unusual
Interest on account of the Intense rivalry
which has always existed between tho
two Institutions Coach Orton did not
make tho trip with his cross-cbuntry
team, but sent them away In charge of
Stanley Root, who has been assisting In
tho coaching of the long-distance men.
Penn's cross-country team has been
a pleasant surprise to the followers of
the Red and Blue. When the team made
the trip to Hanover last week to run
the Dartmouth men It was not believed
tha' tho Red and Blue had even a fight
ing chance to win. Yet several of the
runners, notably Colton, showed up to
so murh beter ndvantage than they had
I evor done before that Penn came away
I lcforloua The team representing Penn
I now nt Bellefonte Is composed of Hus
tcn, captain: Colton, Humphries, Mc
1 Michael, Peeso, Llberman, Stevenson and
AEslstant Manager Townscnd.

DANCES OF TODAY
NO MORE TROFANE'
THAN THE GREEKS'
Philadelphia Dancing Ex
perts Resent Allusion to
Modern Steps as "Am
bling of Kangaroo."
Modem dances do not resemble the
"ambling of a kangaroo," according to
indignant protests of Philadelphia danc
ing experts, who take exception to state
ments made tecently by Professor Troop,
of Toronto, In an address on "The Study
of Poetry," dellvored at Norrlstown.
The kangaroo nlluelon was not tho only
remark made by Professor Troop which
does not please the dnncing master, for
ho recommended that rather than to in
vent new and outlandish steps, an effott
should be made to Imitate the Greek
dances.
Questioned today upon the relative
merits of the ancient and modern dances,
one of the Philadelphia dancing masters
replied:
"Of course, no fault can be found with
Professor Troop because he likes the
Greek dance3, for some of them ate very
beautiful indeed, and there Is much that
may be learned from studying the posea
nnd rhythm of the classlo dance, but It Is
ridiculous to say that the modern dances
lire not graceful and beautiful, because
they are, and 60 one who has soon them
dono by people who hao really learned
to do the stops, can deny it "
Another expert, whoso specialty Is In
the Held of classic dancing, explained that
ury few people loally understood what
the art signified to tho Greeks, with whom
any measured movement was considered
dancing, although there were three main
classifications, namely, sacred, military
and profane dancing. This allows a com
parison on equal terms with the modern
dances, which may ba divided into three
divisions of a somewhat similar nature,
ns stage, society and profane dancing
dancing of modern times with the sacrod
dances of the ancients, any moro than
It wovld to fair to the Greeks to com
pare their "profane" or ulgar dances
with ttu society dances of today. Tho
pioper comparison of the stago and so
ciety dances with the sacred and military
movements Known to the Greeks and
Egyptians would not show that the mod
ern steps are overshadowed.
There Is only one point In which the
Greeks excelled the dancers of today, they
lost no opportunity to exhibit their skill
in tho art. Births, marriages, deaths, the
ccming of the new season, banquets and
festivals, all w ere occasions celebrated by
dancing. A Baron, In "Lettres sur la
Danse," tells of an actress who danced
her part welt In the tragedy of Medea, of
a onrver who cut up food "dancing," and
of Hellogabalus and Caligula, who made
thcmsel.es understood in "language with
out words" when delivering Jlscourses
The daticlrs experts assert that almost
without exception each new dance is
more beautiful than the last, citing as
examples the coming of tho Brazilian
Maxlxe, the Hesitation, the Parisian Tan
go, the Fox Trot, the Ta-tao and the
Lu Lu Fado These, they say, are ex
tremely popular, the grace and beauty o'
each preventing the arrival of the newer
tepj from displacing the older ones. The
Oreeka may have been "some dancers,"
but the Philadelphia enthusiasts are con
fident that they had nothing to surpass
the so-called "modern" dances
Slow Progress
A regiment of regulars was making
a long, dusty inarch acrofla the roll
ing prairie land of Montana. It was
a hot, blistering day and tho men
longing for water and rest, were im
patient to reach the next town.
A rancher roda past.
"Say, friend," called out one of the
men, "how far 1b it to the next town?"
"Oh, a matter of two miles or bo I
reclvon," called back the rancher. An
other hour dragged by. aud another
rancher was encountered.
"How far to the next townf the
men naked him eagerly.
"Oh, a good two miles."
A weary liajf-luur longer of march
ing and then a third rancher
"Hey, how far"3 tho next town?"
"Not far," was the encouraging aa
av,.ti ",?tily about two niUea.'
