■Baltimore, Md., Feb. 2.—lf "Kid"
Williams, of this city, bantamweight
champion, and Johnny Kilbane, of
Cleveland, featherweight titleholder,
meet in Philadelphia, as has been re
ported, it would probably be the first
time in the history of the sport that
two holders of world's crowns have
clashed.
What the result would be not the |
most ardent ring follower could con
jecture with any degree of certainty.
They are dissimilar types of boxers.
Williams represents the Terry Ale-1
Govern style, although he cannot hit |
as hard with either hand as did the
Terrible Terry, while Kilbane is of
the "Packey" McFarland school of 1
boxers. He wastes no punches and
he can hit when he poises himself for
a punch.

Enola P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. to Have Strong Team; Six Clubs in the
Lucknow League This Season
Activity in the organization of semi
professional baseball leagues has
aroused amateurs. A general opinion
prevails that unless players are sign
ed up at once, league enthusiasts will
put a crimp in the amateur game.
General Secretary Samuel G. Hep
ford of the Enola P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.
and the athletic committee last night
discussed baseball. Following the
meeting announcement was made that
ENGLISH LASS ADDS
SPICE TO THE DISH
Josie Heather and Henry I. Mar
shall Prove to Be Delightful
Entertainers
If all Britain Is teeming with girls
like Miss Josle Heather, the pretty
English comedienne, who, with Henry
I. Marshall, adds a dash of spice to
the dish the Orpheum offers this week
—I repeat, if all Britain is teeming
with such girls, it is little wonder that
the Crown is having trouble getting
Englishmen to leave their native heath
for the trenches.
For Miss Josie is just about as de
lightful a body to have about as you
can imagine. She's billed as wee, but
she isn't: she's billed as winsome, and
she is. The way she sings "Tipperary"
does your heart good. Her partner,
Mr. Marshall, is the composer of "1
Want to Linger." and he shows how
it should be sung. Marshall sings
even better than he composes, and if
you like ragtime, you know he's no
slouch at that little business.
Good Music a Feature
Good singing is a feature of the bill,
Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston, in a
song and patter skit, being particular
ly interesting. Miss t'ranston has a
beautiful neafl of blonde hair, but she
is obviously a bit too proud of it.
The Ray Dooley Trio—yes. they're
related to Johnny and Billy Dooley—
tickled the crowd in a lot of cut-up
stuff. The three Leightons in a skit
are boresonie. Dorothy Regel, in "A
Telephone Tangle" is good in parts,
but her skit is too long drawn out.
Lohse and Sterling, in a whirlwind
aerial act open the show and Brinda
mour, the mystery man, closes it.
Brindamour does his usual stunts of
escaping from shackles and ropes,
while several men from the audience
who are evidently payroll "fall guys"
do some alleged funny stuff.

<OI.OXI AL
It was the concensus of opinion of
those who witnessed the Keith bill at
the Colonial yesterday that one of the
best shows, If not the best, of the Colo
nial's whole career, is here for the first
half of the week. A great comedy
sketch called "Red Cross Mary," is the
headllner. Five players present the
sketch, all of them are above the aver
age. and the lines and situations strike
a rich vein of comedy. The Cabaret
vaudeville's best animal actors,
are exceptionally clever in a unique
net; force and Williams, presenting a
rural comedy skit with musical imita
tions, scored a hit rock-solid, and Sam
Harris, the popular monologist, pleas
ed with a brilliant routine of songs and
stories.—Advertisement.
"AI.OMS 1\ SEW YORK" AT THE

A OOCJ CEMETERY
Few people in London know that
there is right in the heart of their city

seventeen years old. and on entering it

hundred marble headstones project
above the turf in even rows, and on
them are to be found inscriptions of
the most endearing kind and carved in
many foreign languages of the world.
In his first picture journey, to be

CDIIE MACK WILL
FIGHT LIMIT RULE
Athletics' Leader Not in Favor of
Cutting Down Players at
Expense of Game
f ■■
j^ )
CONNIE MACK
Not in Favor of the New Player Limit
Rule
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Feb. 2. Though
maintaining his characteristic quiet,
suave way •of doing things, Connie
Mack in battle array, will go to the
meeting of the American League in
New York to-morrow primed to fire a
veritable 42 centimeter gun at the
twenty-player limit propaganda of re
trenchment.
Mack is against this radical sugges
tion to cut down expenses. He is so
much opposed to it that he will fight,
to a finish to have the league go on
record with a regulation allowing each
club to carry not less than twenty
two players.
"I think twenty-two players is few
enough," snld Hack when asked his
choice of tlic two retrenchment meth
ods. "I can't see how they would run
a major league club with twenty men
available. On the other hand, prac
tically all the clubs already have sign
ed their men for the coming season to
contracts. Five less players than the
twenty-five formerly allowed would
make a great difference to a team."
McCormack Generous
With His Encores
I Those who go to hear John McCor
mack sing at the Chestnut Street Audi
l torium to-morrow evening, niav rest
assured that they will hear him in all
cf th" songs of love and heart interest
that have made him famous. The great
Irish tenor does not confine himself
merely to the difficult classical selee
| Hons, although he is much at home in
them as Caruso himself and will render
some of them in a manner that might
bring the Hush of envy to the cheek
of the great Italian songster, but he
is so generous with his extra numbers
that it might be said that his encores
are really the principal part of his pro
gram. He sings only once every two
days in order that he may be ablo to
give his audiences the full benefit of
his matchless voice, and he delights to
respond to the appreciation that is al
ways accorded him, by singing such
old favorites as "I Hear You Calling
Me," "Believe Me If All Those Endear
ing Young Charms," "Trotting to the
Fair," and "Mother Machree."
One of Ills own favorites is "In
Fanald's Grove,' a selection he never
fails to render when the opportunity
affords, and which is one of the best
in his repertoire. When one hears Mc-
Cormack singing that rare old song
he feels as though all the suffering
and longing of Ireland, her fortitude in
time of trial, her faith, her gladness
and her tears had conspired together
in this son of the Gael to plead the
cause of Inisfail with an eloquence be
yond the power of oratory.
So great has been the demand for
popular priced seats for the McCormack
concert in Ilarrisburg, that the local
management has arranged to place on
sale 200 additional $1 seats and 200
additional $1.60 seats. Already there
are indications that standing room will
be at a premium on the evening of the
concert, and in order to avoid disap
pointments the management has re
quested that seats be purchased at the
earliest possible moment.
Calder Teachers and

MO COLLECTED IN
CITY-WIDE CANVASS
General Committee Raises Another
$3,500, Which Will Be Used
For Local Relief Work
Working but half time, and bur
dened with a family, which made it
difficult for them to make "ends meet,"
a couple living up town in a modest
little home gave $5 to a canvasser for
the Home and War Relief Committee
fund.
"Use it to keep the babies alive," the
husband and wife told the canvasser,
who looked with incredulous eyes at
the bill, which he seemed to think was
sorely needed to keep the wolf away
from that little home during the win
ter. "We need it—of course we do,"
Ihe woman explained, "but we've go|
just the dearest little baby in the whole
world and we know what it would
mean to lose it. So, you see, we want
to save some of those little 'war ba
bies' ' lives, and we'll find a way to
get along without that money."
One of the committeemen
told that story to the ways and means
committee last night while partial re
sults of the city-wide canvass for funds
were being received. A total of more
than $2,100 has been collected and
pledged, and more than half that
much is believed to be due from vol
unteer canvassers who have not yet
reported from their districts.
The general committee, Which is
doing volunteer work at headquarters
and conducting the relief work, has
contributed more than $3,500. This
sum was given voluntarily and has
been used entirely to buy supplies and
pay wages to the more than 300 needy
women of this city who have sewn the
garments for the war sufferers.
The 52.100 just reported Is sufficient
to pay wages to the women sewing for
the committee for about three weeks.
If the home relief work is to be con
tinued longer there must be a more
liberal response. At least double the
amount now on hand will be required
to carry on the work until April.
