THEODALDI'S LEFT HAND.
- -
Mcdlcnl Men Would Call It a "Freak"
Out It Enables Him to Outclass. '
It limy not bo regarded an unreason-
alilu to assume that If an alhvlso ereI
utor "tempers the wind to the Hliorn
luiiili" that lie alno flls Ills creatures
for the life-work Mo designs thoin to
follow ; and , reasoning from this hypo
thesis , It IH not difficult , to under-
Htand why Theobald ! , thu wondorfnl
Norwegian violinist who will appear
hum this week In capaliln of perform-
mires which nro InipOHHllilo to other
violin virtuosi. Nature seems to have
especially prepared him to undertake
the mission ho IH now fulfilling In the
musical world , not only by endowing
him with extraordinary genius and a
marvelous artistic temperament , but
Iiy shaping one of his hands so that
he may piny with ease passages which
'
? no other violinist IB capable of oxeeut-

Ing.
Theobaldl's left liand , leaving out
the theory of naturo's specific ordina
tion In thu matter , would doubtless
bo regarded by anatomists as a
I
"freak" as the first and fourth fingers
are of equal length an are also the
Hocond and third. But one other violinist
linist , known to history has possessed
1 ; a hand of similar formation , the great
f Paganini. ( hough In the hitler's ease
ft > there was a great variation than In
5 that of Theobaldt's. This hand forma-
ii , ' tlon enables the musician to play In
| > seemingly impossible positions In ex-
$ . . , cent Ing remarkable passages and to
produce tones and harmonies baffling
his most skillful rivals and placing
him In a class distinctly by hlmselt.
There appears upon many of Thoo-
baldi's programs a number of his own
composition , entitled "A Devilish
Dream , " and though Its harmonies
fl
J . are perfect , It. is disconcerting to
i those who seek to Imitate his porfor-
t innnro for the positions are quite beyond -
; yond the limitations of the ordinary
' . hand.
It Is told of Paganinl , whose left
hand was similarly formed , that the
difficult scores ho performed led
many to believe , In that age of super
stition , that the musician was in
league wit'u the devil and that upon
charges preferred by rival violinists
of Ills time , the evidence of Satanic
partnership was so strongly presented
that the virtuoso was convicted and
condemned to death. Despite the fact
that the sentence was not carried out ,
Theobaldl longratulates himself that
ho lives in an age that is free from
witchcraft for his admirers assure
him that did such customs prevail In
the present day a clear case of being
league with the evil spirit could be
made against him.
i Theobald ! appears at the Norfolk
Auditorium Thursday night of this
week. A woman with a beautiful
voice accompanies him. Prices , 25c
to $1.

AN IRISH LEGEND.
The Foxcn Mourn When n Head of the
Gormanston Family Dion.
"Among the oldest families In Ire-
nnd are the Gornmnstons. It Is said
hat when the head of the hou.se dies
ind fur some days before the foxes
ea\o all the neighboring coverts and
olloct at the door of the castle. This
strange phenomenon , " writes E. T.
Humphries In the National Review ,
'occurred when the twelfth Viscount
iiiriiiaiHion died in 1S0 ( ! and again in
1870 , when the thirteenth viscount
shook off this mortal coll. The four-
loonUi hnldir of the title died In I'.KIT.
Inquiry vns then made to test the
truth or otherwise of the weird leg
end.
'Tho son , In a letter published In the
New Irish Review , stated that when In
the chapel watching his father's re
mains prior to burial he heard noises
outside asi of a dog sniffing at the door.
Upon opening It there was a full grown
fox close to the steps and several more
around the ehnrfli. The coachman con
firms the presence of the foxes ; so
does another family retainer.
"The daughter of the thirteenth suc-
sesser wrote saying that upon the Ill
ness of her father the foxes sat in
ptslv-4 under the bedroom windows ,
howling and barking all night , and if
driven away returned.
"Thu family crest Is n running fox ,
and a fox Is one of the supporters of
the family arms. "

HOW GEORGE JACKSON DE-
CAME A BALL PLAYER.
George Jackson , the IJoston I
outfielder , one of the batting sen- J
Rations of the National league ,
learned to hit by using n log for J
a bat and to catch by throwing
a ball agaMist a barn nnd catching - J
ing It on tiic rebound. That was
In lUum , Tex. , his home. 2
None of the kids Jackson know
played ball. Ho made a ball of
string , got a log and had the J
kids pitch to him. n
Jackson went to town one day J
and learned two teams played
there every Saturday , lie asked JJ
for a chance to play and was
offered carfare from his homo to J

GOTCH MAY MEET ZBYSCO.
Wrestling Champion Will Grapple
Glnnt Polo if He Gats Enough Money.
Stanislausbysco , the giant Pole ,
will bo the next man to grapple with
Champion Frank Gotch for the heavy
weight championship of the world.
The conqueror of Ilackenschmldt baa
practically assured Herman , manager
of the Pole , of a date In the near fu
ture.
Two years ngo Zbysco met the peer
of catch-as-catch-can head spinners In
Huffalo , N. \ ' . , and gave Gotch one of
the merriest arguments of his career
for one hour. Later Gotch disposed of
his rival twice In 27 minutes. Gntch
won the first fall in G seconds , but thu
Pole was taken unawares as the men
were shaking hands.
Zbysco , who Is In Europe at present ,
will come to America In November for
a tour similar to that of last season.
On his first visit to this country the
big Polo was practically new to the
catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling.
Up to that time his strong forte was
the Greco-Roman style , In which he
was practically Invincible. For the
past year Zbysco has been practicing
the catch-as-catch-can game. Ho has
the weight and the strength , he be
lieves , to give the present champion a
run for the honors.
It's a matter of dollars and cents
with Gotch. If the purse Is forthcom
ing and Herman has the necessary
backing the farmer will give action to
the Pole. Gotch hud Intended to retire
after his match with Ilackenschmidt.
but the easy manner In which he put
away his most formidable rival has
stirred his sporting Instinct , and now
ho declares that he will throw all the
aspirants to his crown before he goes
Into seclusion.

PACKY AFRAID OF WOLGAST ?
It Is Questionable Whether Pair Will
Ever Clash In Ring.
It would be Interesting to know who
stirred up the Wisconsin olllclals to
prevent the proposed bout between
McFarlaud and Champion Ad Wol-
gast recently. It was not the title
holder. It Is certain that McFarland
drew a long breath when ho realized I
ho would not have to moot the Michi
gan wildcat. In spite of all talk of
another match , It Is questionable that
McFarland will ever again be drawn
Into arranging another contest with thu
champion.

WALSH FAMILY BITTER.
They Feel That President Should
Have Released Prisoner.
Chicago , Oct. 2-1. The Walsh fam
ily feels bitterly over John R. Walsh's
death.
A sensational sidelight on the bank
er's death was thrown by Orvlllo E.
Babcock , a son-in-law , who declared
that Mr. Walsh's death was due to delay -
lay In obtaining the hitter's release
from prison. Mr. Babcock held Presi
dent Taft and Attorney General Wick-
crsham responsible for that delay.
"They wanted the last ounce of
blood , " said Mr. Babcock.
"Whom do you mean by they ? "
"Why , President Taft and Attor
ney General Wickersham , " he replied.
"Wo presented them with statements
made by Dr. Frank Billings and Dr.
Joseph A. Capp , stating Mr. Walsh
was dangerously ill and that further
confinement might mean his death.
They simply Ignored these medical
statements and the long delay In ob
taining his release resulted In death. "
Mr. Walsh was 74 years old. Death
came nine days after his release on
parole from the federal prison.
Mr. Walsh's health failed soon after
ho entered the prison. An immediate
movement to obtain his release on a
parole was begun by members of his
family , Mrs. Mary L. Walsh and his
two sons , Richard W. Walsh and John
W. Walsh.
The former banker was surrounded
by all the members of his family
when ho died. He is survived by his
widow , three daughters , Mrs. L. Blake
Baldwin , Mrs. Orvlllo Babcock and
Miss Mary Walsh , and his two sons ,
John and Richard.
Ho was born In Cork county , Ireland -
land , and had lived in Chicago for
moro than sixty years.
Ho was of humble origin and on
his arrival hero worked first as a
newsboy , gradually holding better po
sitions until ho became attached to a
bank. Later when ho acquired wealth ,
his chief business concern was his
group of Chicago banks , the Chicago
National , the Equitable Trust company -
pany and the Homo Savings bank.
Among his other properties were
the Bedford Quarries company , the
Indiana Southern Coal company , the
Southern Indiana railway , the Chi
cage Chronicle and the Northwestern
Gas Light and Coke company.
Withdrawal of money from his
banks to finance other enterprises re
sulted In an Indictment following the
closing of the banks In lii)7. ! ) Ho was
found guilty and Dec. 3 , IDOH , was
placed In custody.

Auto Crashes Into n Hack.
George Fox Is suffering from a
broken rib , several severe bruises
and probably a crushed chest ; two
unknown passengers of an automobile
are suffering from slight bruises and
a valuable horse belonging to George
M. Dudley had to bo shot as the re
sult of a collision between an auto
mobile driven by Frank Mashek and
a hack belonging to George Dudley ,
driven by George Fox , at 1 o'clock
Sunday morning.
The collision occurred on Norfolk
avenue between Second and Third
streets. The hack was going west
and the automobile was going east
when they came together. Mashek
declared he did not see the hack. The
lamps on both conveyances wore
burning brightly when the crash
came.
There were three passengers in the
rear seat of the automobile and one
was seated in front with Mashek. The
automobile was going at a fast rate
of speed when it struck the hack.
The hack was demolished and the au
tomobile was badly damaged. Fox
was thrown from Ills high seat on
the hack to the brick pavement. Two
passengers in the automobile , whose
names have not been learned , recelv-
ed slight injuries. One of the hack
horse's leg and back were broken and
Patrolman O'Brien ordered it shot Im-
mediately.
With the aid of George Dudlov , Fox
dressed this morning and was able to
bo about the city. He is considerably
bruised and there Is one broken rib.
It will be some time before ho will be
fully recovered.
George Dudley declares his damage
will amount to over $275.
"Mashek said he did not see the
lights on my hack , " said Mr. Dudley.
"There were good lamps burning
brightly at the time and he should
have seen them. He was not looking
ahead of him when he struck my
hack. Ho admitted that he was talkIng -
Ing to the passengers in the rear seat
of the automobile. 1 have been in the
hack business for seven years and
this is the llrst horse that I have lester
or first accident of a serious nature
that I have bad to deal with. "
Mashek purchased his automobile
some months ago from a local dealer.
The accident occurred on the south
side of Norfolk avenue. Fox declares
he was coming west and ho had turn
ed to the right far enough for the
machine to pass him. Ho thought the
driver saw him turn out of the way. ,
Two other accidents besides tills
occurred Saturday night. Howard'
Best living southwest of town , driving -
ing a single horse and buggy , was go-1
ing down Norfolk avenue when a dog
bit the horfcc. The animal ran away
and the buggy was damaged. The
horse received some bad bruises on
the legs. i
Another man getting out of his bug
gy in .front of the Fleming drug store |

saved himself probable injuries In j
tills way.

Not until the last quarter of their
game with Norfolk on the driving
park gridiron Saturday afternoon did
i Madison stop using the forward pass ,
, ' which marked most of their efforts to
'score. At no time was the , Norfolk
goal in danger and only twice did
Madison have any chance of coming
anywhere near the Norfolk goal. Capt.
Schmidt for Madison , strongly assist
ed by Faes and Baisch , was Madison's
star and his ability to place a forward -
, ward pass at will gave Norfolk some
I , consternation. These forward passes ,
, however , were finally broken up by
| Norfolk and three times Madison in-
completed them , surrendering the ball
to their opponents.
j Three times Madison with the aid
of these forward passes and a punt
stopped Norfolk from scoring , but one
attempt at n backward forward pass
cost Madison six points and Norfolk
retaliated near the end of the game
by falling from Madison's goal to the
middle of the field and then pushing
over a touchdown.
The use of the new shift play by
Norfolk was a surprise to Madison
and this gave Norfolk an easy touch
down. Madison , In trying the shift ,
was very slow and in an attempt at
p. fake forward the punt was taken
by Norfolk for good gains. Fisher
for Norfolk missed goal but once , but
even this tlmo It was so close that
the ball almost scraped the goal
stakes.
Norfolk won the toss and defended
the west goal at the beginning of the
game. Logan , Koerber , Keleher and
Emery went through Madison's line
for good gains. In this first quarter
Schmidt made some good gains
through Norfolk's line. The ball in
Norfolk's hands crawled close to Mad
Ison's goal , and finally Emory was
urged over the goal lines. Schmidt
again made some gain on Norfolk's
kick-off , but Capt. Keleher was given
honors , and with a few penalties for
Madison for being offsldo Parish took
the ball around the end for a touch
down. Oberg was hurt in this quarter
and Kohl took his place.
Emery took the ball over for a
touchdown In the second quarter , with
Keleher , Logan and Parish playing a
star game behind him. Schmidt made
a fine catch of Kelehor's kick in this
quarter , but he made no headway ,
Hibben being on the ground to bowl
him over.
In this quarter Dobson , Smith , Lan
ders and Fisher all featured as tack
les and for a tlmo both teams were
evenly matched. After Logan had
made a long run with the ball , the
pigskin wont to Parish , who gave the
fans on the side lines a touch of real
football by a sensational and specta
cular long end run through some very
small holes. Madison got the ball af
ter Norfolk was very dangerously near
their goal line and Capt. Schmidt , as
sisted by Loonier , featured In a for
ward pass just as the whlstlo ended
the first half.
Norfolk went through Madison with
much ginger at the sound of the
whistle for the third quarter and Par
ish took Madison's kick to where It
started. Keloher , followed by Logan ,
took the ball far Into Madison terri
tory and when the ball was danger
ously near Madison's goal , Schmidt ,
with the USD of the forward , got the
ball out of danger. Madison tried a
punt which Emery took easily with
Faes on top of him In speedy ( lino.
The ball with the aid of Kinory , Lo
gan , Parish nnd Keleher went back
to within a few yards of Madison's
goal and It was nt tills tlmo Schmidt
tried the backward forward pass
which he fumbled. Odlorne pounced
on It nnd was given a touchdown.
.Madison kicked off , but Parish
brought ( ho hall back agaln _ to ( he
pol whence It ntartod Just'as the
whistle ended the quarter.
The lasl quarter was full of specta
cular playing on ( ho part of every
member of both learns. Madison
worked hard to keep Norfolk back
and In ( ho mlxups that ensued Capt.
Keleher's wind was Iwlco taken from
him. The second lime ho found It
necessary to retire nnd Landers look
liln place. II. was after ( 'apt. Schmidt
made an Incomplete criss-cross for
ward pass that Landers received the
hall ami took It over for a touchdown.
Twice in tills quarter Norfolk threat
ened to go over nnd twice ( 'apt.
Schmidt urged his men to "hold 'ma
back. " but this did not help. The ball
went back lo the middle of the field
when Palish found Madison's stone
wall guarding him and on a second
start he ended the game with n spec
tacular ( Mid run through small holes
for a touchdown. With thirty seconds
to play , Madison kicked n beauty to
Emory who , In war-horse fashion ,
wont up the flehl bowling over three
Aladison players as the whistle ended
the game , llolii teams cheered each
other good naturedly with their re
spective football yells before I hey loft
the Hold. Madison ban now lost three
straight games II to 0 with Colum

Neligh , Neb. , Oct. 2 ! ! . Special to
The News : The Wayne Normal foot
ball eleven , composed of the first
team , met the Gates academy boys of
this city at the Riverside park field
Saturday afternoon. Gates figured
that they were to have the tightest
game of the season , but after the first
half they tame to the conclusion that
they had the game well in liand and
their previous version of the visitors
in speed and strength w-as a matter
of mere unfounded illusion. At no
time during the four quarters of play
was tho.home goal In danger. When
ever Gates secured the ball the Nor-
malites were rushed down the field
by line plunges and end runs by Ed
Host and Griffin , the two stars of the
home team. A touchdown was secured
by Gates in the first and last quarter.
Horry failed to kick goal either time.
Score : Gates , 10 ; Wayne , 0.
