Jim Thorpe Real Ba'l Player;
Will Be in Game With Giants
Harrisburg Admirer Brings Good News About the Former
Carlisle Indian Star; McGraw Is Much Pleased
Indications are favorable for the
appearance of Jim Thorpe, the Car
lisle star athlete. In the regular base
ball game this season. Thorpe has
improved wonderfully, according to
Leo Harris, the local coach and foot
j ball official, who recently met Thorpe
! in New York.
When McGraw first signed Jim
j Thorpe the then ex-amateur wizard,
I considerable speculation was had on
every side as to the Giant chief's mo
| tlve in such a mad venture. Many
I pointed out that Thorpe as a ball
player was nil and that Muggsy had
•nerely signed him as a drawing card.
Others, more sanguine, declared that
there was really a chance that the red
man would develop, and that if any
one could make a presentable player
of him it was McGraw.
Thorpe didn't get discouraged and

Buried Under Foot of
Earth an Hour; Life
Is Miraculously Saved
Caught under a fall of ground when
the walls of a ditch at Fourth and
Seneca streets caved in. this afternoon,
Salem Hill, of 6 Lochlel Row. was
buried under a foot of damp earth
for an hour. His life was saved by
i a plank which fell on top of him when
the earth fell, giving him space
I enough to breathe.
1 Workmen on the Job worked for an
: hour to dig Salem out. He was com
j pletely covered, but showed that he
was alive by calling to the rescuers
as they worked. When' he was taken
out he was injured about the legs
| and chilled from the damp earth
! which covered him.
It 1b not known what caused the
earth to slide. The pipes were being
put in the sewer. Hill was working
in the ditch when at 1.58 o'clock with
out warning the walls fell on top of
him. At first it was thought that he
was killed, but a faint voice from the
pile of earth hurried the rescuers
with the shovels. The police ambu
lance arrived ready to carry the man
to the Harrisburg Hospital an soon as
i lie was taken out. He was less seri
-1 ously hurt than wus expected
HARRJBBURG TELEGRAPH
Muggsy McGraw didn't give him up.
The Indian kept hard at work and
proved himself a keen observer. He
watched his own shortcomings and
studied the methods of his teammates.
Let it not be forgotten that he is a
wonderful athlete. Matters of throw
ing, running and general speed wor
ried him little. He had only to learn
the inside dope of the game.
Muggsy McGraw declares that the
world's tour has worked wonders with
Thorpe. He has had chances to take
part in fast little games—chances thai
he didn't get last year In the regular
season. He has Improved beyond be
lief, declares Muggsy. And next sea
son when the -Giants trot out on the
field to do battle among their numbet
will be Jim Thorpe, able to field and
hit with the best of them.

PLAYS OF TIMELY INTEREST
Theatergoers have the assurance that
each play presented by Helen Grayce on
her return engagement to the Majestic
Theater, next week, is right up-to-date
and that it deals in'topics Jiat are of
general interest. "The Lion and the
Mouse," Monday afterloon and evening,
shows how a daring young woman out
wits a Rockefeller type of millionaire.
"The Witching Hour, Tuesday -natl
nee, gives a realistic exposition of
mind-reading. The society tango dance
In "The Girl in the Taxi," Tuesday
night, brings that merry comedy right
up to the minute. "A Grain of ust,"
Wednesday night, lays bare the life of
a beautiful stenographer. Flirtation
and divorce gives a spicy combination
in "The Buttorlly On the Wheel,"
Thursday night. "A Dawn of To-mor
row," Friday night, interests Christian
Scientists, as it teaches cheerfulness.
White slave Issues are graphically pic
tured in "Traffic In Souls," Saturday

a more carefully selected list of plays,
and it Is these carefully selected bills,
all late metropolitan successes,, that
have made Miss Grayce famous

"THE BRIDE SHOP"
The Orpheum's fine novelty bill that

novelty and good fun as the current
offering. But next week is the time
that the management expects to spring
the surprise of the season in an elabo
rate one-act musical comedy, called
"The Bride Shop." This pretentious at
traction is the newest and said to be
the most catchy vaudeville attraction
Mr. Rolfe has yet presented the varie
ties. It is a playlet of comedy and
song, beautifully mounted and gorge
ously costumed, and declared by critics
to be a most delightful attraction. "The
Bride Shop," one would imagine, gives
the young women of the cast unlimited
opportunity to display uorgeous gowns,
many of them being delightful bridal
creations. Bright comedy situations
handled by clever comedians add the
smiles to the playlet, and an" number
of tuneful song hits are offered amid
the most spectacular surroundings. An
drew Toombs, a comedian of the first
water, Is starred In the vehicle. Also
on this bill the Gardner Trio, young
man and two young women, will offer a
marvelous exhibition of the latest so
ciety dances. Van and Schenck. Har
risburg's favorite singing and piano
playing entertainers, are also slated to I
appear on this offering. The offering
for next week really looks unusual
