JOHNNY EVERS
May Not Report to Braves at Boston
To-morrow.
Boston. Mass., Aug. IT. Johnny
Evers' grievances are not settled by
anv means. There is a strong possi
bility that Evers will quit baseball.
Before leaving for his home in Troy,
N. Y.. Johnnie told officials and club
mates of the Boston Braves that if he
did not show up at Braves' Field, in
Boston, for the opening of the mam
moth new park to-morrow, when the
world's championship emblem will be
raised, they would know he was
through with the game for all time.
While the Braves were out West
Evers declared he meant to quit base
ball because of his health. He re
tracted this statement In a measure
later, when he modified It by stating
that he would make no final decision
until he had seen and conferred with
President GafTney.
Before going he tn?d Stallings that
he did not know whether he would
continue playing ball or not.
"If I decide that my health will al
low me to play. I will be at Braves'
Field on Wednesday. If I am not
there you will know I am through,"
Johnnie said.
If Evers quite now, the last slim
chance of the Braves to repeat this
year is shattered. While not a par
ticularly mechanical player, Evers'
hrsin and his magnetism and power
to get the best efforts out of every
player make him invaluable.

TUESDAY EVENING.
RAIN MIY CRIMP
TOOK DAY MS
Weather Man Predicts Showers All
Day; May Go Over Until
Tomorrow
Rain drops threatened to put a
crimp in Thorpe Day plans at Island
Park this afternoon. The program
called for two games with Providence,
and side featuring by a big crowd of
rooters from the Carlisle Indian school.
The local weatherman said there
would likely be showers all day.
Big preparations have been made at
Carlisle for this event and the Indian
girls and boys expected to reach this
city at noon. President Thomas
Fogerty of the Harrisburg Club
thought the plans would be carried out
He was unable to say what would
happen in case of a postponement.
Jim Thorpe, was one or the great
est track athletes of the United States
ever produced. After winning many
laurels and hanging up new records,
Thorpe made a clean-up at the
Olympic meet two years ago. Soon
after someone charged him with hav
ing played baseball for money. This
made him a professional and he re
turned all his prizes. While his rec
ords go down in history they do not
stand on the amateur athletic union
books.
McGraw Lands the Indian
Thorpe's jump into baseball came
through "Muggsy" McGraw who
thought he saw a comer, and a big!
advertising feature. He took Thorpe i
with him on a trip around me world, ,
and later turned him over to Jersey
City. Thorpe likes Harrisburg and j
asked to come here when Cailahan
was injured. He is popuW with the
fans, a great sticker and a fast man
on bases. To-day's special event was
planned in his honor. With favorable
weather a record crowd was looked
for.
The Providence Grays were hungry
yesterday and ate up the Indians,
winning by a score of 11 to 0. It was
a hard luck team Harrisburg pre
sented, the sick and injurea oelng un
able to offer any strong opposition.

JIM THORPE'S PRETTY WIFE UNABLE TO ATTEND
"7^ AT |
MRS. JAMES MILLER THORPE
Threatened postponement of Thorpe Day celebration because of rain,
was not the only disappointment local fans were likely to suffer. At a late
hour this afternoon it was announced that Mrs. James Thorpe, wife of
the popular Indian player would not be able to attend the celebration. Mrs.
Thorpe who was Miss Margaret Iva Miller before marriage, Is a Cherokee
Indian girl and a former resident at CaHlsle, where she attended the
school and met her husband. She is now in New York City.
PAXTANG PARK
When Manager Davis picked the five
acts that are appearing at the Paxtang
Park Theater, tnls week, he certainly
proved hla ability as a judge of vaude
ville acts. There is not an act on the
bill from the skating act that opens
the show to comedy acrobats that close
the bill that isn't in the headline class.
The Krllles present a classical musical
act that is one of the best refined
musical offerings that ever appeared at
the park. They play selections on the
piano, 'cello and violin in a masterly
manner, while the lady in the act has a
wonderful singing voicei The act is
beautifully staged with a blue plush set
ting and every property detail worked
out to harmonize with the surround
ings. Mae Dale was the big comedy
surprise of the evening. Miss Dale
makes no pretense at personal charms.
Her make-up is decidedly grotesaue,
but she keeps everybody laughing that
is within sound of her voice. Her
monologue is one of the best we have
heard in a long while. The Box Car
Duo consists of two men in the weird
make-up of the typical stage tramp,
who appear in a stage setting that
faithfully represents a box car on a
railway siding. The two men make
their entrance from the "side-door
Pullman." and proceed to entertain
their audience with a series of parodies
that caused the duo to respond to five
or six well-earned encores. Rice. Elmer
and Tom made their usual hit with
their comedy bar act, and Sprague and
McNeese were remarkably clever in a
; beautifully staged rollerskating act.
I For Wednesday. September 2, Manager
Davis says he will have a big bargain
day at the park. What the genial
manager's plans are he does not care
to fully state at present, but promises
that on that day anyone who visits
Paxtang will get their bigest ten cents
worth in the way of amusements they
I ever got anywhere.—Advertisement.
AT THE REGENT
To-day the last of Hazel Dawn in
"Niobe" at the Regent, in five reels.
Hazel Dawn, as Niobe. Is thoroughly
bewitching, and sustains the spirit of
[ the unusual role to perfection. As the
incarnated Greek statue of the ancient,
sorrowful queen, she is superb with a
l c lassic manner of portrayal. In her
more sorrowful moments, when accus
ed bv Mrs. Dunn of usurping her home,
| she 'proves herself, by means of her
, clever and natural performance, to be
i as much a woman as a statue, the two
I requisites necessary to the success o(
the role.
I To-morrow, Thursday, Friday ana
! Saturday, the supreme triumph of the
I screen. "The Eternal City," a mammoth,
I elaborate photo-production of Hall

record for a 5-year-old pacing stallion.
His second heat, in 2.00, was another
world's stallion record, and his com
bined average time of 1.59% is a
world's mark for a 5-year-old pacer.
William also smashed the local track
record of 2.01 % and paced the fastest
heat of 1915.
