As in the majority of other con(licts between teams representing football on the eastern and western slope of the Rockies, the east was given the odds. Pittsburgh adherents offered 10 to 7 odds. Both teams were pronounced in perfect condition and well rested. The elevens went through their last workout Saturday and Sunday indulged in rest and skull practice. A capacity crowd of 70,000 was expected to jam the Rose howl to witness the football classic.

BANCROFT BEATS CONKLIN TO THE REALIZATION OF WISH Young America always has had a secret ambition. The majority of youngsters hope someday to become railroad engineers. Chester Conklin was no exception. At the age of seven, this Paramount comedy star cherished the desire to operate one of those thundering Baldwins. He yearned for the opportunity even when he became a grown-up. This opportunity came at last when it was announced at the Paramount studios that he and George Bancroft were to be comedy co-stars in “Tell It To Sweeney,” which will bs at the Voncastle today, a story of railroad life. Both Conklin and Bancroft were to be engineers. The day first scenes were to lie shot came. Two engines were on the tracks. One was a modern 350,000 pound locomotive and the other a worn-out affair thirty years old. Conklin started for the big engine, but found that Bancroft was already in the cab. Director Gregory La Cava called to

him.

“I’m sorry, Chester. 1 intended to give you this big one,” LaCava declared. “But George Bancroft told me a sad, sad story. He told me that all his life he had hoped to he the engineer of a giant engine and that

SYNOPSIS

Bob Walnwright goes to Coney Island to Uni adventure and instead finds the first real life that he has known. Under the name of Bob Gordon he stays to work as engineer for Hank Wellman of the Ferris wheel. lie falls in love with Jane, Hank's daughter, who returns his affections. Tammany Burk, the barker, his rival and best friend, (» the only one that knows who he really is. The night that Bob ts going to propose the wheel catches fire while Jane and her father are (n tf. Bob is injured while rescuing Hank and the doctor who attends him discloses part of the secret. Jane asks him to explain and the doctor, wishing to avoid a misalliance, tells her that Bob is engaged. Hurl and disappointed, Jane tells Tammany that she will marry him. “Bln up long?” ho asked. She nodded brightly. "Two hours. I've had my breakfast, Daily. What do you want?” “Nothin',” he answered briefly. “I ain’t In tho earin' mood. 1 suppose we'd bettor go over an' take a look at the wheel." She nodded, then turned quickly aside. "Before we go over, Daddy, there's something I want to tell you. Last night, after you went to bod, Tammany asked me to marry him and I said ‘Yes.’ Is It

all right with you?"

“Baby,” lie said, taking her Into his arms, “anything you do is O. K. with Daddy ’cause you can't do nothin’ wrong. Only don’t tell Boh

’til he gits well.”

"Why, Daddy?" she asked quickly. “Well, I kinda thought that he was a little soft on you,” honey.

the Fire Department or the Island, Don’t recognize them, do yon?” ) “I don’t think anybody from th9 Island or the Fire Department’ would be here this shon, Daddy. Let’s And out.” Hank and Jane stooped and went under tho rope. “Keep outa that!” yelled a burty. man in shorts and puttees. "Keep out what!” yelled Hanfe back at him. “I’ve got the Icasd ou this concession.” They marched over to him through the charred embers and twisted pieces of scaffolding. "What’s tho Idea?” "Idea?" What d’yuh mean, Idea?” "What’s gain’ on here? Do yon belong to the Fire Department ox

the Island.

“Well, I should say not. I belong to a contractin’ firm that’s got the contract to clean cut this mess. Including that funny lookin’ thing,’* he said, pointing to the wheel. "But I’m the proprietor. 1 don't know nothin’ ’bout It.” “That's not worrying me. Borne responsible party give our contractin’ Arm tho job of shaping It up. Our linn don’t dream things.” The old man turned to Jane. "Baby,” he ejaculated weakly, "la your pore old Daddy goin’ off his uut? Do I look right to you?” “Have a cigar, old man. Don’t worry about it. It's on the level. The name of our firm’s Forsythe and Company, 23 Couth street. New York. Call ’em up. They can tell you somethin’ about it, I guess.” Hank took the cigar and mechanically chewed it. Jane had taken down the address of the contracting firm. Just then, Hank’s eyes lighted on another man, who was looking up at tho wheel and down

'J#

an’ It ain't good to take chances with a man's heart when he's knocked out tho way that boy is. Just li'iep it quiet 'HI he gits better.” Tammany's remark of last evening flashed through her mind. Now her father was repeating It. In different words. However, she knew and she wasn't sacrificing a loyalty like Tammany's for an evidently nebulous quantity like Bob’s affection. "I won’t tell anybody. Daddy. We'll keep it quiet ’til—’til—Bob gets better." It was late afternoon. A crowd of people were gathered about the charred and blackened thing t’.at stood out, like a monstrous deformity, against the sky What had hurt Hank so badly had been good for Cooper. His Inlet was dottiil with small row boats and the man himself was, evidently, in high glee as Hank aud Jane were passing. "Afternoon, Hank!” he sang out with the eternal chewed cigar clutched in the corner of his mouth. “Better come around an’ see me about that lease. Think I kin help you out." The old man’s muscles tightened. Ho walked swiftly over to Cooper. Jane marched by his side. “You can’t help me out, you skunk! I don’t want none of you or your bootleg money. When you go to jail. I’m a goln’ to make a special trip down there to take a look at that ugly mug of yours be hind the hars.” Cooper's face lost its sniilo There was something prophetic about Hank's utierauco. But men of his calibre are not easily daunted. *T said you’ll be glad to come around to me to git help. You ain’t even got a shoestring to start anything else on. What'ro you gonna do—starve?” The old man seamed about to leap on him. but Jane restrained him. They were standing an inch away from him. Jane suddenly raised her hand and dealt him a stinging smack across the face. Her eyes blazed. The man actually cowered. “That’s what 1 think of you, you rat. You keep your bootleg money and your friend Grimm and we ll play it out to a finish.” Cooper did not feel as triumphant as he mlghL However, he laughed in bravado In answer to the laughter of the small crowd which had gathered, and went bac!: to his ostensible business. With tempers considerably cooled, Jane and Hank pushed their way through tho small ring of people. At first tbeir attention was directed only to the blackened charred embers and they were held back by the rope that had been placed around the entire enclosure. Hank surveyed the scene and started in amazement. Beyond the wheel at the shack and around tho wheel Itself, some men who looked like laborers were already clearing away tho debris. They had made marked progress. "Quick work,” commented Hank. “Must be somebody connected with

at tho surrounding arna, with a very professional air. “Is that feller connected with you?” asked Hank. "Don't know him." replied the other. "Thanks. Good cigar.” "Glad you like it.” Hank tried to look dignified as ho started tlirour-li the debris over to the other man. Once, lie looked at his daughter wildly and she returned It. After con idirable slipping and sliding Hii'u'mh puddles of water and obstruction.-; of all kinds, they reached the Immediate vicinity of the pleasantly professional looking individual. " ’Sense me," said Flank. "I’m the proprietor. Hank Wellman." “Glad to know you. Mr. Wellman. We’re going to do a good job here. Leave It to Redmond Company, We’re putting up a new wheel with all metal parts—” "What!" yelled Hank, but, as the other glanced at him In amazement, be tried to come back to normal. " ’Scuso me, I ain’t quite myself. Must have been the Are last night, I guess.” "Terrible thing,” commented tho other, "but you certainly are a quick worker. Just as eoon as the contractors get this debris cleared off. we’ll start laying a foundation for the new wheel.” "Yes, 1 work quick," rejoined Hank weakly. "How long do you think It’ll take to put It up?” "Well, I figure that it'll take the contractor a week to get this place in shape for us. It’ll take us about three weeks to etlck tho wheel up; so you’ve got a wait of a month.” “Who did you say your contractor was?" inquired the old man. The professional gentleman looked at him In some surprise. Hank noticed it and add' , hastily, “f ain’t quite right In my head this mornin’. Had an awful night an’ day. I’ve got the address over in my bungalow but I wanted to telephone—" "Here's the firm's card, Mr. Wellman, and,” as Hank started off, "don’t worry. We ll do a good Job and you’ll have a good season in front of you yet.” Once more Hank and Jane picked their way through the debris. They said not a word. When they werd passing the Inlet “Ol ! Hank” had a purely human Impulse, as Cooper grinned maliciously. "Been over to take a look at my laborers yet?” “Laborers?” echoed the other, “Whftt’re you doin,’ kiddin’ me?” "Thought you’d get the best o{ “Old Hank, eh? Well, men Ilka me ain't whipped that easy. Three weeks from now you’ll seo another Ferris Wheel right wh re the other stood an’ all metal, too. Bticlt around an’ watch it, if they don’t put you away in the Jug before that, S'long.” After he had gone a few steps, they turned and looked back, Cooper was hurrying towarde the Wellman concession. “Come in with me, Jane. I want to telephone to these contractor! and git this thing cleared np, f ain't sure I’m sane.” (To be continued.)]
