Tod Sloan No. 2
Weighs 57 Pounds
Havre Re Grave, Md., Sept. 14.'
A new Tod Sloan has appeared on
the jockeys' horizon. He is strug
gling along, handicapped with the
German name of Schwartz, but
otherwise he Is all right. This
new star of the pigskin appears
to be a midget automaton moving
its arms and legs.
Schwartz is the peewee of the
turf. When he is fat and healthy,
particularly after a good meal, he
weights 57 pounds. With his sad
dle he weighed 60 pounds when he
rode Bogart to victory here on
Wednesday. Bogart was assigned
111 pounds in the race, so it w-411
be seen that in order to make the
weight Schwartz had to pack 51
pounds in the lead pads. This
dead weight was nearly as much
as Pee Wee Schwartz weighs.
It was Pee Wee Schwartz's first
mount in a race and his first vic
tory.
Last winter he was shining
shoes and selling papers in New
Orleans. When the races opened
in the Crescent City he got the
horse fever and applied at one of
the stables for a job. He took as
naturally to riding as a German
to sauerkraut. He learned so rap
idly that B. E. Chapman, the own
er of Bogart. gave him the mount.
This was what impressed horse
j , men about Pee Wee: Instead of
taking Bogart to the front, like
most novices. Pee Wee held Bo
gart back In the second division
for the six furlongs, then pulled
to the outside, challenged and rode
a strong finish through the
stretch. Pee Wee is totally lacking
in nerves, being phlegmatic and
utterly feaj-less. Although only
knee high to a grasshopper in
height, and being new to the
game, he has, on several occa
sions, schooled horses over the
jumps. Trainers who' have watch
ed him say that when flying over
the jumps he looks like a monkey
on a horse, with this difference—
that he controls his horse, whereas
a monkey merely clings to a
horse's back. In three essentials
Pee Wee is like Tod Sloan. He is
a natural rider, likes to gamble
or bet, and smokes big, black
cigars, the bigger and stronger
the better. He is just 16 years old
and hopes before he Is 20, he says,
to be as noted on the turf as
Sloan.
SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ' SEPTEMBER 14, 1918.
Tatler staff will be held next Wed
nesday afternoon, at which plans
will be discussed .for the first issue
of the paper. A score of candidates
have handed in their names as can

competition.
Members of the first year class
have been given their instructions for
fire drills that will be held in the fu

The following day. at 7 a. m.. the
legal time to start shooting, by club
edict, batmen were assembled, we
stepped from the back door of the
clubhouse into our boats, punting up
the bayou about a half mile to Lake
Waponoca. which covers an area of
approximately 1,000 acres. This lake
was formed by the earthquake, at
the same time Reel Foot Lake rushed
into the spotlight. Waponoca has an
average depth of about two feet, wild
rice and celery is everywhere in evi
dence, the limited water depth makes
this especially seductive for "pudd
lers," mallards, teal, sprigs and
j widgeon are the main standby, with
an occasional fiight of red-head and

j construction are located on likely
points and bayous. insuring good
shooting regardless of wind-direction,
club rules demanding a cessation of
shooting at 4 p. in. This gives birds

I was the runner up. A return to the

ANSWERS TO NIMRODS
Question —Is the sense of hearing
developed in fish?.
HENRY MAGNUS.
Fort Wayne, Ind.
Answer —The sense of hearing is
not acute. It is concussion on the
surface of the water that alarms fish,
so claimed by scientists. A step on
the ground adjacent to the water's
edge will also alarm fish, even though
no shadow is cast.
Question—Am a beginner in shoot
| ing. How much should I lead a duck
flying by me?
F. Y. D.
Sioux City, la.
Answer—A very difficult question to
I answer. Velocity, distance, wind and
j many other conditions become factors
, If ducks are dropping into decoys'you
j would not lead but hold a trifle under

UNCLE SAM KIND
TO FOOTBALL
Indications Are That Game
Will Thrive in All War
Colleges, at Least
The latest action of the Federal
government in regard to football is
a Washington dispatch saying that
"football programs for this fall at
colleges and universities with any
student training corps will not be
interrupted by the War Department,
except where they would actually in
terfere with military training.'
This news settled somewhat the
delirium that resulted on Thursday,
when It was said that the officials in
Washington advised colleges not to
arrange football schedules, but plans,
especially at Penn, are indefinite,
and will remain so until the military
authorities under Major Griffith map
out the football future.
One thing is certain. There will be
football in war colleges, and the Uni- j
versity of Pennsylvania will be one
of them. The sport may not have
the glamor of yesteryears, but there
will be more of it, with more partic.'-j
pants than ever before. One of the;
nrrangements'is to stage interbatta-j
lion games among the battalions of
the training corps.
It is understood at Pitt that there
will no further hitch and Colonel
Silas A. Wolfe, the new command
ant, is expected to say something
definite to-day.
Colinel Wolfe resides at Carlisle,
where Coach Glenn S. Warner was in ,
charge of 'he Indians' physical de
velopment before ho went to Pitt,
and the two are slightly acquainted.
Like all Arnfy officers. Colonel Wolfe j
recognizes the benefits to be derived
from athletic sports of all kinds, and
the chances are that he is not un
mindful of the great good to be de
rived from football.
Charles S. Miller, athletic director
at Pitt, yesterday received a letter
from H. R. (Boscy) Reiter. the fa
mous old Princeton gridder, now
ccach of the Lehigh University foot
ball team, which Pitt is slated to
meet at South Bethlehem on Satur
day, November 2.
In his letter, Reiter says that Le
high has secured official sanction of
its football plans from Washington,
and has been told to go ahead withj
its season. Reiter added that he was
preparing to start practice at once
and hoped to be able to turn out a
fast team.
This news, on top of that brought
from the middle west by Dr. Robert
son 0/ the Pitt faculty, concerning
the conference elevens, cheered the
Pitt grid ruthorities, and caused
them to hclieve that in spite of con
flicting reports from other place!
there will lie no interference with the
football plans for the coming season,
but that, on the other hand, football
will be officially recognized, and the
sport flourish this fall, just as much
as in any past season.
Ooach Glenn S. Warner is due to
arrive in Pittsburgh to-day from liis
home in Springville. N. Y., where he
has passed the summer. He will be
ready to take charge of the Pitt
candidates at once, and if it is de
cided to call them out, the chances
are that September 23 will find the
Panthers working in practice at
Forbes Field.

MOROSCOPLAY
PLEASES MANY'
Hawaiian Life Vividly Por
trayed in "The Bird
of Paradise"
"The Bird of Paradise,'' a love
story of Hawaii, by Richard Walter
Tully, with its vivid portrayal of life
in these islands of the Pacific, at
tracted and pleased a large audience
at the Orpheum last night.
The strange religious beliefs and
superstitions of the native Kanakas
are handled by the
author and were just as capably re
produced by this company of Oliver
Morosco. In this unusual play the
author aims to show that these
quaint, lovable people of the tropical
islands with their strange customs,
have not changed the least particle
since the days when they were first
visited.
Superficial changes may have been
wrought, but beneath the surface,
the author shows them to be the
same: they still make their sacrifices
to Pele and they will worship their
many gods and goddesses despite the
whole-hearted but apparently futile
efforts of the missionaries; their tem
perament remains unchanged. Pic
turesque scenery, characteristic of
the island, adds a pleasing effect.
Produced by Oliver Morosco, "The
Bird of Paradise," has been one of
the big sensations of the stage. In
this company Miss Rita Romilly,
playing in the title role as "Luana,"
"The Bird of Paradise," highly sat
isfied her hearers with her very sat
isfactory portrayal of her flifiieult
part. Brandon Evans as "Ten Thou
sand Dollar Dean," a beach comber:
Guy Harrington, as "Paul Wilson,"
a young doctor; Miss Jane Haven, as
"Diana Larned," a university gradu
ate, and John Milton, as "Captain
Hatch," a planter, capably filled the
other principal parts in the play.
Added to this the satisfactory por
trayal of many other difficult parts
and the native music, "The Bird of
Paradise" ranks high among the
other early season productions in
Harrisburg.
Strong Flay For Ray Is
"His Own Home Town"
In the portrayal of virile charac
terizations, which appeal by their
convincingness and power. Charles
Ray has few equals among the
younger cinema stars of the present
day. Mr. Ray has a magnetism and
charm, which, reinforced by native
talents of no insignificant merit,
have won him a decidedly large fol
lowing of motion picture fans.
In his forthcoming photoplay "His
Own Home Town," which was pro
duced under the supervision of that
master craftsman. Thomas H. Ince,
Mr. Ray has another vehicle, which
seems destined to add to his stellar
laurels. It is a strong story written
by Larry Evans, and it has to do
with the fortunes of a young man
of- high ideals, a powerful political
boss, who dominates a small interior
city, and other elements which com
bine to make the production one of
more than average attractiveness.
How Mr. Ray, in his impersona
tion of Jimmy Duncan, succeeds in
smashing this corrupt ring, thereby
winning the respect and admiration
of his townsmeh, not to speak of the
love of a beautiful girl, is charming-'
ly told in "His Own Home Town."
which is to be displayed at the Re
gent theater next Monday and Tues
day.
There are numerous thrilling in
cidents in the development of the
story, and the continuity is excellent
ly sustained. Mr. Ray is adequately
supported by capable players.

"The Bird of Paradise," Richard
Walton Tully's romantic drama of the
Hawaiian Islands, pro
"Thr Bird duced by Oliver Mo
ot Paradise" rosco, will close a two
days' engagement at
the Orpheum to-night. The story of
the play deals with the downfall of
one white man through the Insidious
Influence of the tropica, and the up
lifting of another through the pure
influence of an American girl. Through
it all runs the tragic love story of
Luana, the pretty little Hawaiian
pfincess, who thinks she can hold the
love of her American husband with
her lips and her arms, and failing to
do so. gives herself as a human sacri
fice to save her people from the wrath
of Goddess Pele.
Mr. Morosco presents a newcomer in
the part of Luana, in Miss ltita Homil
ly. a young lady who has not yet
passed her teens, but of whom great
things are promised in the dramatic
line. Others in the cast are: John
Waller. Guy Harrington. Jane Haven.
Taylor Carroll, and the Hawaiian
singers and players.
What is recognized as a stupendous
consolidation of minstrel talent the
modern stage has ever
GUM HIII'M known, is promised at the
MinHtrelu Orpheum, Tuesday, mati-
nee and night, where Uus
Hill's Minstrels is to be the next at
traction. It is described as a burirt
cork festival of mammoth propor
tions. requiring the services of fifty
capable white artists in a single ag
gregation. All of the men are stars
in their particular field, shining with
versatility a& instrumentalists, sing
ers, dancers, vaudeville headliners,
comedians, soloists, balladists and
blackface destroyers of gloom and
the blues. The show is said to be a
combination of the best up-to-date
songs, ragtime, predominating, of
course: the old classics, ditties that
seem to be ever green, original set
tings, pretentious scenic endeavor,
new jokes, wheezes and Inimitable
sayings, and ingredients bound to
please and amuse. George Wilson,
who has just completed an engage
ment at the Hippodrome, New York
City, heads the cast. He is aided by
Arthur Deming, "Rags" Heighten,
"Jack" Kennedy. Golden and Heines,
"Eddie" Horan, J. Francis. Brennan.
"Eddie" Girton. .Tames Barradi. Chas.

Follies" Wednesday, matinee and
night, in a new play en
titled, "Broadway Rastus." Catchy
songs and scenes will be the. pre
dominating feature with this seasons
show, and the scenic investiture will
be all that can be expected of the pro
ducers. Lots of comedy, dancing and
singing are introduced in every part
of the show and the patrons of tp e
Orpheum no doubt will get their
monev's worth in two and a halt
hours"' of real enjoyment. Irvin C.
Miller will assume the leading role,
and will hav for his support Esther
Bigeous. a winsome soubrette. who
has won many admirers during the
past few seasons, and "Billy" Curaby,
the dean of colored comedians. There
will be several others who have made
manv friends with the "Follies" cli
entele. A company of twenty-five will
also to distribute the good
things to those who attend this one
and onlv performance. Seats are on
sale at "the Orpheum Theater.
"In the Dark." the feature attrac
tion at the Majestic vaudeville, on the
bill that winds up
"In the Dark" its local stay to
ut the Majestic night, has made a
marked impression
with Harrisburg theatergoers. The
pleasing way in which a truth con
cerning circumstantial evidence is
brought out never fails to land solidly
with the audience. The entire bill is
excellent. Next Monday Homer Miles,
a well-known vaudeville actor, comes
back to town with a new sketch. The
title of the act is "Spare Ribs of
Love." and the act is based on a time
ly theme. There will be four other
Keith acts grouped around this one.
And another of the lattpr chapters of
Pearl White's now most exciting
photoplay serial, "The House of Hate,"
'will be on the bill.
"Flower of the Dusk," showing at
the Colonial Theater to-day only,
1 features Viola Dana.
"Flower of Miss Dana is appealing
the Dunk" as the little heroine
who tries to bring
cheerfulness into the lives of those
with whom she comes in contact. In
the role of her father there is shown
a pathetic character of a blind man.
Monday - and Tuesday, "Friend Hus
band" will be shown with Madge
Kennedy. Miss Kennedy gives a de
lightful performance as the heroine of
this spicy comedy, which fairly bub
bles over with clean fun and is alive
with action from start to finish. The
star's engaging smile, natural grace
and talent have never been exhibited
to better advantage than in this, her
latest success, which will probably
rank in the estimation of hsr many
admirers she has as yet made to the
screen.
To-day is the final showing of the
newest Artcraft release of William
S. Hart. "Riddle
William S. Hart Gav. ne." This is
at the- Regent the superb western
picture that has
held large audiences spellbound at
the Regent Theater every moment of
its thrilling • scenes and daredevil
stunts of the famous Hart. It is pro
nounced the best Hart picture that
has yet come to this city and caused
more favorable comment for Hart
than any of its predecessors.
Monday and Tuesday, the famous
Artcraft star, Charles Ray. who has
won so much success lately in "Play
ing the Game" and a "Nine O'clock
Town," will be seen In the latest re
lease in which he stars, "His Own
Home Town."
"Doug" Fairbanks appears at the
Victoria Theater to-day in one of his
best pictures,
Douglas Fairbanks "The Habit of
at the Victoria Happiness."
„ „ The sunny dis
position of Douglas Fairbanks has at
last been adequately dramatized In the
Triangle release called "The Habit of
Happiness." According to the plot
which has been devised by Shannon
Fife, and elaborated by Director Allan
Dwan, Fairbanks has been given a
profession that approximates that of
the Brothers Cheeryble in "Nicholas
Nickleby."
His particular business is to make
down-hearted people laugh. The
very novelty of this brings him more
clients than he ever can hope to
cure. Among them is a crabbed old
millionaire; and Fairbanks takes pe
culiar interest in his case, because
he has a beautiful daughter.

contest in the series to decide who
shall win the pennant. The Yo Ed
dies are to get all receipts which are
to be used in stocking up the larder
of Uncle Sam's huskies with tobacco
and smokes.
Manager Cockill took his men over
last evening and gave them a good
rest at the American Hotel, for of
course, he recognizes the importance
of having all hands in prime shape.
Every day this week the team was
worked hard and Cockill said yester
day that if Bethlehem wins to-day
she will deserve It. Chances are ten
to twelve that "Lefty" Pierce will be
in the box for he held his own and
more with Jeff Tesreau last Satur
day.
Arrangements were made for the
biggest crowd of the season and a
brace of brass bands was hired to
wake things up early as 1 o'clock,
when the gates opened. If Steelton
