CALUMET THEATER Believing that the people of the Calu met region appreciate the best In the dramatic field. Manager Connors of the Calumet theater is experimenting with a new plan, which, if successful, wil lead to a radical change in the policy of his playhouse. It Is the plan of the manager t6 intersperse the melodramas with high class dramatic productions and by a tentative agreement which he has made with the booking agency he will be enabled to offer to his pat rons first class attractions at approxi mately one-half the prices paid by peo ple in other cities to see the same plays. As the week end attraction this week the Calumet offers George Barr McCutcheon's famous play, "Graustark," and as the week end attraction next week he will offer another drama of great merit in "The Volunteer Organist." This play begins Its three days stay at the South Chicago playhouse on Thursday evening, Jan. 14. "The Volunteer Organist" Is a play of New England life, introducing scenes In Vermont. One of the great scenes in the play is a realistic snowstorm. In the cast is Master Willie Nelson, the phenomenal boy soprano, who formerly sang in the choir of Trinity church. New York City. The cost is composed of artists and the attraction is strictly high class in every sense. As the first half of the week show a powerful melodrama will be offered. The Convict and the Girl" is the name of this play and it will hold the boards at the Calumet for four days, commencing with the matinee Sunday, Jan. 10. It is a melodrama that is well worth seeing and Is brlmfull of pathos, good comedy, sensational climaxes and wonderful scenic effects. Them arp also several good specialties In the bill. A Preliminary. "How would you start in to educate the Filipinos?" "Well," answered the man who has been among them, "if I had my way, the first thing I should do would be to send over a hazing party and a football team." Not of Great Consequence. Candid Friend "You must excuse me, Donald, but I must say your wife Is no beauty." Drummer "Oh, that's of no consequence. You see, I am so seldom at home." Fliegende Blaetter. Not Bad. A boy was asked to explain the difference between animal instinct and human intelligence. "If we had instinct," he fcaid, "we should know everything we needed to know without learning it; but we've got reason, and so we have to study ourselves 'most blind or be a fool." Universalist Leader. Twentieth Century Modes. There seems to be a tendency among heroines in novels to get themselves crushed, rather than folded, in warm embraces. Styles change, of course. Puck. Spendthrift's Purchases. A spendthrift ir. one sense he has his money's worth by the purchase of large lots of repentance and other dolorous commodities. Nathaniel Hawthorne, Various Effects of Fros Frost has a variety of effects upon different products. Under the same influence eggs will burst, apples contract and potatoes turn black.

SOUTH BEND TO RAISE LID That the fight lid which has been on South Bend for several years Is due to be pried off within a short time is believed here as a result of efforts of promoters in the Indiana city to secure Chicago fighters for early dates. The lid was shut down in South Bend some time ago and since it was clamped on it has not been raised. With the retirement of Governor Hanly it is said the state officials will not Interfere with boxing and the municipal and county officers at Sauth Bend are said to favor the sport. PAPKE MAY NOT FIGHT AGAIN Hot Springs, Ark., Jan. 10. "I may never fight again," declared Billy Papke, erstwhile middle-weight boxing champion of America, on his arrival here tonight. Papke was asked whether he would meet Kelly at San Francisco Jan. 29 before Lecari's club and Stated that he would not think of entering the ring for at least two months. "I want a good rest," said Papke. "If I find that I am in good shape in two months I shall take on all comers regardless of weight or color." Papke does not look like the same fighter who left here last spring to meet Ketchel at Milwaukee. He appears pale and drawn aifd his statement caused no great surprise inasmuch as he declared he might retire immediately after his defeat by Ketche? at San Francisco. An attempt is being made to match Papke and Barry for a ten round go here. Marvin Hart and Barry are to meet before the Whittlngton A. C. next month. MARQUETTE TO HAVE NEW GYM. Milwaukee, Jan. 10.

The new athletic headquarters will be the most completely equipped of any gymnasium in the state, with the possible exception of that at the University of Wisconsin. CLOSE CALL FOR IOWA ATHLETE. Iowa City, Iowa, Jan. 10. Swallowing half a bottle of hair tonic which he believed to be cough medicine. Will Carberry of Panor, Iowa, had a narrow escape from death. Prompt assistance by his fraternity brothers saved his life. Carberry, who has won his "I" in football, track and baseball in the University of Iowa, resides in the Sigma Alpha Epsllon house. He arose at 4 o'clock Saturday morning and took what he supposed was the cough medicine in the dark. He noted the queer taste, lighted a light and aroused his roommate. Medical students in the house came to his aid with an emetic, i which promptly relieved him.

MTARLAND SIGNS TO B0XY0UNGOTTO Will Meet Easterner for $1,000 Side Bet; Big Crowd Seas Packey. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 10. About 1,200 people turned out this afternoon to see Packey McFarland, the Chicago lightweight, In training at Doyle's South Side Athletic club. Right royal ly did McFarland entertain the Sun day visitors, staging an extensive box ing card. First Packey sparred four rounds, two rounds each with Maurice Cayers and Charley English. After that the stock yards champion alternated five rounds with Walla Wheeler, Charles Boscha and Fred Gardner. The latter trio were Los Angeles Athletic club amateurs. McFarland is in excellent shape and will easily be in a first class trim by next Friday night when he meets Dick Hyland in a schtduled ten round bout before the Pacific Athletic club. His weight was 136 pounds when he came off the road this morning after a thirty minute Jog. TOBFBEHMT HOPEFUL Little Idea Entertained That Arkansas Legislature Will Permit Betting. Little Rock, Jan. 10. Hotel corridors and the aisles of the capitol building were thronged today with lobbyists who are seeking to have the antibetting laws of the state repealed at Hot Springs at least, but the outlook is not considered especially hopeful. Efforts will be made to have racing legislation taken up immediately, so that arrangements can be made for a winter meeting at Oaklawn and Essex Park. The rival track managements will not clash this year, as everything will be done to keep the sport in popular favor. An agreement has been reached for a division of the dates in case racing is attempted. The Dexereaux element, representing Essex Park, the pioneer track of the city, is well represented here. The Stuart and Dugan contingent is also on hand, as opening of betting would mean much to the proprietors of gaming rooms. The hotel proprietors and business men also -have a delegation here, asking for a repeal of the antibetting laws In Garland county. JEFFRIES AGAIN DENIES RETURN Tells Only Way He Would Meet Johnson. Los Angeles, Jan. 10. "The only way Johnson could get a fight with me would be for him to step on the tail of this little collie pup," said Jim Jeffries thi3 afternoon to a crowd of sporting writers here to watch the exchampion train for his theatrical engagement. "If he should hurt this pet of mine, yqu would see the quickest and best heavy-weight fight that was ever pulled olT." The big champion laughed as he coddled his pet. Then seriously, "I mean every word I say when I repeat for the thousandth time that I shall not return to the professional prize ring. That ought to be enough. "Right here I want to say a word or two in favor of Marvin Hart. The big Kentuckian has been made the butt of the sporting writers' jokes from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Probably there are good reasons for Hart's claims being derided, but I am willing to go on record as being of the belief that Hart will give Johnson a stubborn fight, if they ever meet. "Marvin is credited with a twenty round victory over Johnson three years ago at San Francisco. This fact alone entitles Hart to the talk of a return match that he has been making. Same people figure that Hart's only idea in this connection is to land the loser's end of the money. I think differently however. I sincerely believe that Hart would prove a troublesome adversary for Johnson." TUKF FACTIONS SEEK LAT0NIA. Louis Celln, It Is Said, lias Been Asked to Nnuie Price for Holding. Lexington, Ivy., Jan. 10. Local turf men say something is brewing in turf circles ana tne iatonia track is a storm center. It is well known that turf magnates of the west have been at loggerheads for some time. The situation at New Orleans and Hot Springs and the conducting of the Latonia track in the past have all furnished points for differences of opinion. The fight to re-establish racing at New Orleans is going along without the support of Louis A. Ct-lla, it is said. Hot Springs, Oaklawn and Essex Park will open if the racing laws are modified. Oaklawn track is controlled by John Condon and Louis Cella, Essex Park belonging to J. B. Itespess and Humphrey Devereaux. Each track wants dates and little hope has been expressed that the factions would reach an agreement. Then comes Latonia, and, as it seems the only live looking proposition in the middle West, each side is trying to get control. The matter is said to have reached an acute stage yesterday and Cella was asked to put a price on his holdings. He was told the money would be forthcoming, provided the amount asked was reasonable.

New Polo League Started Schedule is Arranged With Out ol County Roller Polo learns

The great game of roller polo which recently secxired such a hold on the Central Indiana and Michigan cities is to be introduced here and Manager Fred Heintz of the Lewis skating rink at East Chicago is now arranging a schedule with teams which will represent the Lewis rink, Landsfleld at Indiana Harbor, the Englewood and the Chutes teams from Chicago and will be known as the Indiana-Illinois Roller Folo League. The first game will be played Tuesday evening at the Lewis rink and will be between the Lewis and the Englewood teams. Those who have not witnessed a game of roller polo have missed seeing one of the most interesting and exciting games that was ever invented. The game consists of knocking a little disk about the size of a dollar about with hoc'key sticks. The players are on roller skates and they must be experts in skating in order to be able to play the game. The goals are little coop like baskets which are placed on the floor at both ends of the hall. The lineup Is a great deal like basketball and the object is to drive the little disk into the opponent's goal. The holes in the goals are so small that it is hard to believe a person could become expert enough to drive the disk into the goal. The players are compelled to pad H0BART TEAM DEFEATED. Bast Chicago Banket-Ball Tram Covers Itself With Glory. East Chicago, Ind., Jan. 11. The East Chicago high school boys' team succeeded in handing bitter defeat to their opponents, the Hobart team, on Saturday evening. The score was 67 to 11 and had the boys exerted themselves to the utmost the score might easily have been run into a hundred points. The game became but a succession of scores for the East Chicago team, the Hobart players following the movements of the ball in a listless manner. Riley and Cadman did star work for the East Chicago team, making several fancy goals from difficult points on the quadrangle. Johns played a good game at forward position with Silverman and Spence at guard. The East Chicago girls did not nut put as good a game as usual, even Lillian Williams failing to find the baskets on her various attempts to make the goals. They were defeated by a score of 11 to 8, after as hard a game as was ever plfeyed on the local floor. Mabel Palmer was easily the star of the game, while Edna Olds, at center, also played her usual strong and Intelligent game. SPORTING BRIEFS.

Fred Buelow, the old Cleveland catcher, goes to Montreal next season. Ai Kaufman is the latest to draw the color line. His color line drawing is done with a piece of charcoal.

' It ia neoeswary to screen off the rink with a netting to prevent the spectators from being hit with the disk when it is being driven around the floor of the rink. There will be three games of roller polo a week in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. This week all three games will be played at East Chicago and after that the games will be divided between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. The skating rink will open at seven o'clock and the spectators will be able to skate until nine o'clock when the roller polo game will begin. It requires three fifteen minutes periods with a five minute intermission to play the game and the contest will consume fifty-five minutes. After that there will be skating from ten until eleven. This' makes an ideal evening's entertainment, for it is possible to skate all a person ordinarily cares to and then see a good game of roller polo besides. Mr. Heintz says there is a good team a Aurora, a fair one at Elgin and two iti process of organization at Joliet and Chicago Heights and if they become members of the league an exciting championship series can be arranged. ton Americans to the Baltimore club of the Eastern league. George Winter, the old Boston pitcher, is to be instructed how to find his way to Indianapolis by the Detroit club. Gus Ruhlin wants to meet Jack Johnson. If Gus waits until the dinge comes home perhaps someone will introduce him. Jack O'Brien says he intend to take a trip around the world. Not one or those Stoddard tours, but real traveling. If Pittsburg gave New York a sheet of song and dance music for Spike Shanhon, what did Kansas City give Pittsburg? Ted Sullivan says that Ty Cobb is the greatest ball player In the world today. They are all great today as the season doesn't begin until April. Ball players are playing the marriage game to a standstill this winter, which is a mighty fine thing. Baseball news is scarce during the "benny" days. Manager McAIeer of the St. Louis Browns will give a trial to Paul Cobb, brother of the famous Tyrus Jimmy signed Paul because Jack O'Connor said he wouldn't do. Martin, the little brother of Pitcher Ed Walsh, will be given a chance to display his idea of the national pastime with the Chicago White Sox next spring. Mike Kelly will manage the St. Paul team and Tim Flood will be the cap tain. That combination is enough to start something on any ball field in the American association. When you come to think of It everyone gets an even break at one time or another. St. Paul has the champion boy trap shooter and Mobile has the champion boy crap shooter. The lady patrons of the Minneapolis ball club will be at the opening game 1 a-plenty if Nick Altrock Joins the Mil

In digging the foundation the workmen discovered a golden sarcophagus ornamented with three circlets, on which were inscribed: "I have expended; I have given; I have kept; I have possessed; I do possess; I have lost; I am punished.

A friend recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself recovering, and am to-day well." MRS. D. I. JONES, 5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O. Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach digest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
