This year's schedule contains ten
games and is proportioned in its de

DRIVE GOLFERS
OUT OF RANKS
Bar Three Champions From
Participating in Amateur
Contests
New York, Jan. 13. Several golf
ers of national reputation will be
driven from amateur ranks by the ap
plication of the new definition of ama
teurs approved early to-day at the an
nual meeting of the United States Golf
Association. The meeting also sus
tained the rule under which Francis
Ouimet, Paul Tewksbury and J. H.
Sulivan, Jr., of the Woodland (Mass.)
Golf Club were deprived of their ama
teur standing.
A motion for a direct vote on the
action of the executive committee in
giving notice to the disqualified golfers
and calling upon the Woodland club
to withdraw their names from the
handicap list of the Massachusetts
Golf Association was ruled out of or
der after the vote on the main ques
tion had shown that Ouimet's friends
were well in the minority.
Upheld Report
After a spirited debate lasting long
after midnight, the delegates by a vote
of 80 to 12 upheld a report of the ex
ecutive committee sharply restricting
the status of an amateur. The rule
as amended and adopted makes ineli
gible as an amateur the players "en
gaging in business connected with the
game of golf wherein one's usefulness
or profits arise because of skill or
prominenco in the game of golf." The
interpretation put upon this is that it
will class as professionals players en
gaged "in laying out, constructing,
supervising or giving advice concern
ing the lay out, construction or up
keep, of a golf course or any part
thereof," commonly known as "golf
architects."

"Broken Chains" is the story of a
love that remained supreme despite
doubtful circum
"Brokcn Chains" stances, and a novel
at the story handled in a
V ictoria To-day novel way. The stars
. make the most of the
big opportunities afforded them. Car
lyle Blackwell, who is the incompar
able romantic lover in most of the
stories in which he appears, plays a
part which calls forth all his plenteous
supply of talent, and receives it. At
the head of a battalion of our soldier
boys, he makes a picture not easily for
gotten. For Monday and Tuesday we
shall present the queen of emotions.

What would your verdict as a jury
man be in a case where a good woman,
who has been separated
"The from her millionaire hus-
Innocent band by a blackmailer, then
Sinner" reduced to a low level
through his cupidity and
drugs and who slays the man when he
plans to ruin her beautiful daughter?
This is one of a number of absorbing
questions involved in "The Innocent
Sinner," a new four-act drama by Oli
ver D. Bailey and Joseph Noel, which
will have its first public presentation
to-day at the Orpheum, matinee and
night.
Composed of an all-star cast, with
Miss Julia Dean in the leading role, the
drama abounds in problems pertinent
to in America and France, especial
ly in cities like New York and Paris.
Miss Dean was specially selected for
the leading role. She is expected to
achieve her greatest histrionic success
in it. Miss Dean has made herself one
of the foremost actresses of the modern
stage by her successes in "The Law of
the Land," which William A. Brady
ran for a year in New York; as the
original "Virginia Blaine" in "Bought
and Paid For;" "Her Own Money' and
"The Lily,' when produced by David
Belasco with an all-star cast.
"The most astonishing achievement of
motion photography," are the words in
which the critic of
I.yman H. Howe's the Philadelphia
j New I'rogram Press describes the
remarkable film
I epic of Sir Douglas Mawson's Expedi
tion into Antarctic, to be presented
here by Lyman H. Howe at the Or
! pheum on Friday and Saturday, with
daily matinees.
j But let it not be imagined that this
amazing visualization of heroic en
! deavor is merely "astonishing." It is
all that, and more too. It bristles with
humor. It scintillates with comedy
! that is all the more wholesome and de
! lightful because it is so quaint and na
tural. This pleasing phase is happily
I expressed by "\Vid," of the New York
Evening Mail, as follows: "Now I know
where Charlie Chaplin got his funny
walk. And a band of daring explorers
had to risk their lives in the Antarctic
wastes and bring back most wonderful
films of the animal life there to make
it evident."
Never in the memory of the oldest
amusement caterer has there been at
tempted anything so nre-
Annette tentious as "A Daughter
Kellermnnn of the Gods," the Wil
liam Fox $1,000,000 pic
ture beautiful, featuring Annette Kel
lermann, which will be shown at the
Orpheum week of January 22, with
daily matinees.
To give one an idea of the collossal
undertaking it may be said that for the
purposes of finished production • Mr.
Fox built a city, with all modern im
provements, that accommodated a
resident population of about 20,000 per
sons. To shelter this great body and to
produce the picture, Mr. Fox took over
an entire island at Kingston, Jamaica,
and, like a supreme sovereign, is said
to have governed it in every detail
from his office in New York, some 1,500
miles away.
Much of the fun on the Majestic's bill
is due to the combined efforts of Stone
and McEvoy, two men of
Stone nml pleasing appearance, who
McEvoy offer a comedy singing
at Majestic and talking act that at
once becomes one of the
most popular numbers on the bill. An
other attraction that possesses real
merit is that of Lewis and Feiber,
young couple, in a clever singing and
talking comedy skit entitled, "Ye Motor
Inn." The Mabelle Fonda Trio, intro
ducing some good club-swinging stunts,
and two other acts, complete the bill.
For the first half of next week B. A.
Rolfe's latest musical comedy, "The
Girl From Amsterdam," with twelve
people, will be the headliner. Grouped
around this attraction are: The Yaltos,
noveltv dancers; Billy K. Wells, in a
comedy talking and parody act; Jolly,
Francis and Wild, in a musical farce,
"Step Lively," and the Millettes, sensa
tional trapeze artists.
"The Matrimaniac," Douglas Fair
banks' funniest and most thrilling fea
ture, will be
"The Matrimaniac" shown at the Co
at the Colonial lonial Theater for
the last times to
day, and the many persons who do not
get an opportunity to see this cle/er
photoplay will miss seeing Fairbanks
at his very best. In the role of a young
man who tries to elope with a charm
ing young lady, he is sure to amuse
and interest you.
Monday and Tuesday, the Vitagraph
Company will present E. H. Sothern,
one of the best-known actors in
America to-day, in a splendid dramatic
production, "A Man of Mystery." When
Sothern appeared here recently in a
production, the public paid advanced
prices to see him, and the play was un
doubtedlv worth all that was paid to
Bee it. "A Man of Mystery" tells of a
man who coipes back and protects nis
wife when his enemies think that he
is dead. The story was written by
Archibald Claverlng Gunter. There
will be no advance in prices for this
production.
To-day is double attraction day at
the Regent. Charlie Chaplin, Thomas
Meighan and Anita
Three Stars at King divide the lion
llexent To-day ors. Chaplin appears
in "The Floorwalker,"
which has been re-engaged by popular
request.
The dramatic portion of the bill to
dav is provided by Anita King and
Thomas Meighan in "The Heir to the
Hoorah." The Hoorah is a very rich
Igold mine owned by three men, who
decide that they must have an heir.
The youngest partner is chosen to
marry. His adventures in matrimonv
take him through many different angles
of this exciting game. They marrhd
first and Mved happily every afterwards
—afterwards is the etory. But there
was an heir.

Alexander, the Phillies' star pitcher,
has returned his contract unsigned.
He wants more money. He asks for
$15,000 and a three-year-contract.
Alexander may not be so great in his
attempt at this holdup game.
Les Darcy says he is willing to meet
Miske, McCoy, Dillon, Chip, Levinsky
or Mike Gibbon. He hopes to sign his '
first contract by next Wednesday.
Darcy means business.
Red Calhoun is getting a strong
team for Wilkes-Barre. He keeps
busy winter and summer. His plan is
to land players when they can be had,
get a contract with each, and let the
other fellow worry.
Few major league managers take
the players' threat to strike seriously.
Charles Comisky does not expect trou
ble, and President Baker of the Phil
lies is of the opinion that his men will
be ready when the call comes to re
port.
TABERSKI STILL LEADS MATURO
Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 13. The
second night in the championship
pocket billiard match between Frank
Taberski of Schenectady, N. Y., and
James Maturo of Kansas City took 4S
vinnings of slow play before Taberski
scored his 300 th shot. He had the first
night's play by a score of 150 to 107,
but last night Maturo gained 12 points
by scoring 162 while his opponent was
tallying the second block of 150. Ta
berski's best runs were 30 and two of
21, while Maturo had a 29 and a 34.
This makes the score for two nights
300 to 269 in favor of Taberski.
