WHAT DID WEAVER SAY
WHEN FABER STOLE?
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—Thirty-two
thousand people who saw Red Faber’s
historic phantom steal of third base
wondered what Weaver said. When
Rariden pegged to third to get Fab
er. Ruck Weaver thought they were
trying to pick him off the base, so
slid back. The two players were flat
on the ground facing each other, with
their feet hooked to the base. Weav- |
er, in his astonishment at finding Red .
there, exclaimed:
“Where the h— -»re you going?”
Without an instant's hesitation,
Faber responded “I'm going to pitch.”
Which he did with as much com
posure as if he had not just made a
reputation for himself that will out
slate Merkle's trip.
The steamship Alaska passed Ju
neau yesterday, and is expected to ar-j
rive in Valdez some time tomorrow |
night or early Wednesday morning.

sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service. •

That Hallowe'en Dance
At Kagle Hall on Hallowe'en
From nine till half-past one,
A dance of ghosts there'll be
Who back to earth have come,
Hy invitation, of the Witch,
For one night in the year:
Again to walk for mortal man
Who for them show no fear.
: We wish all to attend this dance,
And meet these spectres face to
face.
| And ghostly garments you will wear
Such as sheet ar'd pillow case.
And join us in our revelries
And form a fitting scene,
A spectral party, gay but weird.
To celebrate this Hallowe'en.
