I read stories about him in the New York World and Herald,” replied Schrank” and T thought he was crazy to seek a third term.

Murphy and Arthur CROWDS WAIT FOR BRINKMAN SEATS Hundreds Line Walk Until First Audience Leaves Room at Home Talent Vaudeville. SUCCESS BEYOND DREAMS Receipts for Monday Evening Said Close to $163 and S. R. 0. Sign Needed. *|SECOND PRODUCTION TONIGHT ‘| Will Be Started at 7:30 and Repeated at 8:45—Every Number to Be New. Few entertainers are ever present- ed with a first night andience that taxed their theatre to the extent that the Brinkman was taxed last night for he first of the series of home tal- ent acts to be presented this week. As early as 7 o’clock the crowd began drifting toward the theatre and by 7:30 the S. R. O. sign would have been hung out had Mrs. Brinkman been able to secure one. As it was, the crowd lined the sidewalk until 8:30 wnen a second performance was given. Mrs. Sanborn reports re- ceipts of §163. Those who attended the perform- ance were not anxious to say which selection they liked the best. ~ Mrs. Sanborn and Miss Humes, in their Colonial Act, reached a place not touched by the other numbers and |were in a class by themselves. Mrs. Sanborn has played before Bemidji audiences many times and received a demonstration as she came on the stage. “Dear Old Moonlight,” sung by a chorus of girls dressed in white who | carried baskets of flowers and by men in dark coats and light trousers, not only seemed to please the audience musically but proved to be an effec- tive piece of stage work. “Teasing Moon” also called for moonlight ef- fects and Miss Wightman and her chorus were liberally encored. Vera Cutter and Vera Dempsey, two tiny tots, were assisted by Louis Brown and his violin in giving their Dutch dance. They were called back several times. Louis Brown looked thoroughly Dutch in his wooden shoes and Dutch costume while the girls might have come direct from Ellis Island. . “T'll Meet You at Half Past Two” called for the encore “Oh, John” from the Misses Lycan and Humes. Their numbers had been presented in Cass Lake so that they were thoroughly familiar with both music and dances. Miss Lycan has lived in Bemidji sev- eral years and Miss Humes is so well known here that both received dem- onstrations as they came on the stage. “Rum Tum Tiddle” closed the pro- gram and was encored until the sing- ers were tired. “That Melodious Strain” is being whistled on the streets of Bemidji today. This evening, a second program will be presented and a third to- morrow night.

(Written by Grantland Rice,) Press Box, Stadium, New York, Oct. 15.—Driven to bay, the Giants led a last rushing desperate assault against the Red Sox machine yester- day in the sixth game of the world’s series and tore it apart within one round. Marquard pitched his pals to a romping cakewalk victory by the count of 5 to 2. The Rube, as in his first start, broke the Boston attack at every turn and after one rickety round, the second, stopped Stahl's slashing sluggers with a thud. Today the Giants are back at Bos- ton for another game stand where Jeff Tesreau and Joe Wood hook up for their third clash. The first round at the Polo Grounds- - yesterday settled the battle. stuck in “Buck” O'Brien and the (iants were ready.

Ray Collins followed O'Brien im the second round, rolling back . the Giants’ rushes with wonderful pit- ching—sure and effective—but his brilliant work went to seed. For working on that five-run lead the Rube, after one short lapse through over-confidence, settled to his _ task and breezed along under wraps. From the second round on he was never in trouble and sharp, sure sup- port by his ma‘es did the rest. That first assault on O'Brien was a clumsy one. Doyle led with a hit, and a steal.
