FOOTBALL CAPTAIN ELECTED.
WASHINGTON, PA.. Dec. 5. -Bur
leigh Cruikshank. of West Somerville.
Mass , was yesterday elected captain
of the Washington and Jefferson foot
ball team for the season of 1914.
THE JOLLIEST CROWD
YOU EVER SAW IS AT
THE OLD DUTCH MILL
The jolliest showgirls and the
cleverest comedians you have
ever seen are to be found at the
Dutch Mill. Like one big fami
ly. they laugh, dance and sing,
and the good humor is infectious,
for you just can't keep still while
they are in action. The costumes
are catchy, the girls are pretty
and the music is good. If time
hangs heavy, go to the Dutch Mill
and dull care will vanish, and the
smile will return to brighten. A
Dollar show for a Dime. You
may smoke, too.
EMBERS of Lew Hardage's all-
star football team wifi have their
final work-out at Grant Field
j this afternoon for their battle with the
Seventeenth Infantry at Ponce DeLeon
! Park Saturday afternoon. The players
will be put through a long signal drill,
j hs the team Is mostly In need of team
work.
Lieutenant Devore, of the Soldiers, Is
wasting no time in having his players
’ in the best of shape for the fray. The
•' infantry boys will rely on the wide open
i game, as in Swartz they have one of
the beat forward pass tossers In the
South. . *
Time and again Swartz threw the
oval with deadly accuracy against the
cavalry last Saturday, and Devore
thinks'if the Soldiers can get away with
a couple of touchdowns against the All-
Stars they will have a chance to bag
the game.
In Bingle. the Soldiers have another
| reliable piayer. He Is also a great place
kicker and is dangerous anywhere with
in the 40-yard line. Devore, has hail
him practicing all week ami it would
not be surprising to see him get away
with a couple of scores over the air
route.
Low Hardage. however, is not worry
ing over his opponents. He doesn't (
think there Is a team in the South ca
pable of stopping the great collection
of players he has gathered.
Newell, Hardage. Morrison and Mo* j
Whorter will probably be the backfield 1
that will start against the Soldiers.
Gardner and Majors at etuis Mea- |
dows and lamb al tackles. Means and'
Peacock at guards, and Pitts at cen-
ter will probably be the line that will J
open against them.
With this aggregation of stars, the !
Hardage eleven should certainly be able
to put up a mighty hefty scrap.

BETTER THAT THAN A HYPO.
•*/ can not sleep," a stranger said.
7 toss upon mg restless bed;
In rain I linger in the hag
And wait m\til the break of dag,
For Slumber, always passes bg
Und never even bats an eye."
"Cheer up!" I kindly told the lad
"Your ease is not so gol darn bad,
For l have seen men worse than you
Recover in an hour or two"
"Then" said the stranger with netv
hope,
M Slip me an earful of your dope!
And when / whispered in his ear
His joyous voice was good to hear.
And with a smile upon his face
He hastened to a six-day race,
And soon arose a healthy snofe
That echoed for a mile or more.
Christy Mathewson advises ball
players to avoid overeating, but tho
advice is unnecessary when they are
buying their own meals.
The war in Mexico is not interfer
ing with the racing at Juarez. This
is because the average bookmaker's
hide is so thick that bullets fail to
puncture It.
Mimorioso equ. ied the track record
at Juarez, travelinq almost as fast as
a Federal general in retreat.
Charlie Somers, of Cleveland, has
sold Jack Lelivelt to Charlie Somers,
of Toledo. Charlie is the best dou
ble-action magnate ir baseball.
It mav be true t«:at Governor Tencr
accepted his new *ob purely for the
love of the game, but there is no
truth in the rumor that he has re-
Fused the $25,000 a vear.
