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.

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.
