OLD 11 NEW MEN
IN WORLD'S SERIES
Connie Mack Has the Veteran
Players; Youngsters to Battle
For the Boston Braves
By Associated Press
New York, Oct. 3.—When the Phila
delphia Athletics and the Boston
Braves go into action in the twenty
third series for the world's champion
ship baseball honors the diamond
campaign will be fought out by teams
which represent the old and new in
the national sport. Although the aver
age age of the leading players of the
two combinations is not widely sepa
rated tjje Athletic's machine is So fa
mous and its success so striking that
It appears old by comparison with the
squad that George Stallinss whipped
In shape in midsummer and thus won
«. pennant for Boston. Taking tjventy
odd players of the two teams as a
basis it will be founcj that the aver-
U nge age of the Athletics is twenty-six
and one«toalf years and the Braves
twenty-four and three-fourth years.
While less than two years in aver
age age separates the teams the ex
tremes are more marked in the Ath
letics tban the Braves. Plank, Bender,
Coombs, ftldring, and Thomas.
All are past thirty, but the majority
of those who will figune in the daily
line-up are several years under this
iige. The three youngest players in
the squad are the pitchers. Bush,
I'ennock and Wyckoff.
Americans Have Advantage
The American League represents)-
H tives hav* the advantage in wears of
■ baseball experience for the Mtfladel
■ jihia club player? average fully a year
■ jnore in time spent upon the profes
f sional then the Boston players. Tbe
Braves average is approximately live
years with Johnny Evers heading the
list with twelve years of play. The
point of professional sew ice Plank
leads the Atheltics with thirteen years
of baseball play and experience at his
ba<ck. Bender is but ope year behind
suid several others just- fall short of
double figures in their diamond career.
As a result the Athletic's average is six
years notwithstanding the fact that a
number of comparative youngsters are
marshaled under the Philadelphia
flag.
The team which will act as the
_ _ standard bearers of \he National
|M~ League is an interesting combination
of the youth and the age of the dia-
W mond. In some cases extremes have
■ been blended by Manager Stalling? in
■ artful mannor to make of the Braves
w a winning team. This fact is illus-
J trated in two notable cases. Principal
figures in the scheme of attack and
defense which enabled the Braves to
win to the front of the stirring race
In the National League
Veteran of Many Gaines
Johnny Evers, veteran of nearly
2,000 games, a figure prominent in
the recent history of the sport, has
■tvorked in effective colaboration about
second base with "Rabbit" Maran
ville, barely more than a boy, playing
his second season with a major league
club. The same combination of old
and young is found in the records of
the men of the outfield, and of the
pitching staff. These figures show the
oldest member of the team to be Otto
Hess, with 33 years behind him. Al
most a boy, Paul Strand at 19 years
Is the baby of the team.

are likely to participate in the world's

"BOB" SHAWKEY 10
WED "TIGER LADY"
Former Harrisburg Twirler Admits
That Reports Are True; An
nouncement a Surprise
"Bob" Shawkey, the former Harris
burg twirler, now with Connie Mack,
will marry Mrs. Herbert Marvin Clapp,
better known as the "Tiger Lady,"
soon after the world's series. An
nouncement of the engagement was
made in Philadelphia last night. Both
Shawkey and Mrs. Clapp admitted that
the reports were true. A dispatch from
Philadelphia says:
"Mrs. Clapp was divorced from her
husband four years ago. H. Mason
Clapp, known as the "Boot Black
King," died in Japan a year ago.
"Her married life with Clapp was
tempestuous. Four years ago she was
arrested on a charge of shooting her
husband in the neck in their apart
ments at 1511 Girard' avenue.
"When Clapp recovered he dropped
prosecution. Soon afterward he was
made defendant in an action brought
by his wife, who accused him of as
sault and battery. Nothing ever came
of the case. In her charges Mrs. Clapp
asserted her husband tried to kill her,
but was shot himself In a struggle for
possession of a revolver.
"In December, 1911, Clapp and two
detectives charged that they had found
Mrs. Clapp with another man in a
house near Seventeenth and Mount
Vernon streets. He immediately began
divorce proceedings and was granted
an absolute divorce some months lat
er.
"He then went to Japan, where he
died a year ago. Since her divorce
Mrs. Clapp has been living at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Roberta C.
La Kler, at G2l(i Vine street.
"Before her marriage to Clapp, who
had an income of 110,000 a year from
his grandfather's estate, she was a
manicurist in a downtown hotel. She
met Clapp when he visited the hotel
to have his nails manicured. He in
duced her to go to Texas with him,
and at New Hempstead, that State,
they were married.
"After their return to the city Mrs.
Clapp was a familiar figure, riding in
an automobile and wearing a robe o£
tiger skins and a toque to match. Thus
she gained the title of "tiger lady.' "

KIRK IJROWX
Two big houses greeted Kirk Rrown
at the Majestic at yesterday's matinee
and night. "Camille" was the mati
nee performance and "The Wife" for
the evening, and Mr. Brown and his
| excellent organization gave two per
formances that were perfect in every
detail. Excellent was the costumes
and stage settings of both plays, which
is the keynote to this popular star's
success. To-night ends the company's
stay, when "The Red River" will be
the play offered.—Advertisement.
EVA TANGUAY IN "MUSS TABASCO"
In her new play, "Miss Tabasco,"
Eva Tanguay has Interpreted fourteen
musical numbers written by John
Ford. Eva Tanguays success is due
to herself alone, her ability to give
her public just what it wants, and
she very wisely refrains from trying
to make them accept anything else.
lln deciding to produce "Aliss Ta
basco" she had to turn down a tempt
ing vaudeville offer. The company
that will be seen in support of Miss
Tanguay are all actors of metropoli
tan reputation and she has given tho
play an adequate production. It will
be at the Majestic Monday evening.-

"THE MOVIE GIRI," '
"The Movie Girl," headed by Billy
Carlton, is billed to appear at the
Majestic Theater Tuesday and Wed
nesday afternoons and evenings. "The
Girl" is a comedy set to music,
j The situations are laid in and around
a moving picture studio and are funny
Ito the extreme, as the clever come-
I dians never let an opportunity pass

"TO-DAY"

•one of the longest runs on Broadway
of the drama presented during the
I past year is held l>y "To-day," the stie
cess which will be seen at the Majestic
I Theater, Thursday afternoon and
! night, October 8. The record of hav-
I ing played an entire season at the
Forty-eighth Street Theater is one that
has not been reached by many rivals,
and can be explained only by the il
luminating fact that "To-day" would
never have won this distinction if it
had not satisfied the theater-going
public.—Advertisement.

the palates of vaudeville devotees this

number of sterling Keith acts that
supported the big headliner appear for
the last time also. Chief of the Keith
stars that come to entertain Harris
burg and its visitors during firemen's
convention week will he the return of
Irene Franklin, queen of vaudeville's
singing comediennes. Miss Franklin
will offer an entirely new repertoire
of songs that she has been singing
with tremendous success in many of
the country's leading vaudeville thea
ters this season, but which will be
heard for the first time in Harrisburg
when Miss /'"ranklin introduces them
next week. Miss Franklin appears in
a budget of character songs that were
written expressly for her, and her new
numbers are said to be tuneful, catchy
and elewr as any of the old favorites.

act of Interest on week's bill will
be the return of Frank Milton and the
DcLong Sisters in a revival of their
I successful "rube" comedy skit, called
I "Twenty Minutes' Layover at Alfalfa
[station." Mr. Milton has added much
[new tom-foolery to his part of the
[act and the girls will as usual don
some interesting creations in cos
itumes. This act never fails to score
