This seems to be about the biggest palace of bport that has ever been built. In the old -days it was said the Circus Maxim: s seated 115O.O0O. This is doubted, however. It is also-suid by some that the Coliseum at Rome seated 87.O0O Romans Measurement shows. hoMfcver, that it would hold about 45,000.

Members of the freshmen class of the Jersey City Law School were relieved by Dr. t'alvln McClelland's decision that a baseball thrown uy a pitcher is still in his legal possession when it is midway between the pitcher and the plate. .Dr. McLelland propounded the problem to his cltss to demonstrate the law of possession, and the task of solving It was taken up by the baseball fans. There was a variety of r-r.swers. Now, the teacher has decided that tho pitcher still possessed the ball because his power over It has not been Interrupted by the batsman or the catcher. ' ' 'Ontch'' Leonard, one of the Boston pitch ing stars, held by Duffy Lewis to be the mainstay of the club, is to take a little flyer In vaudeville before he hits the Pacific Coast. According to Duffy, the offerB of the theatrical agents were so . tempting that Ionard finally fell a victim to a proposition that was made him and for several weeks at least he. will scintillate before the foot lights. This isn't going to he as tough a' matter for Leonard as it might he for other mem bers of the Red Sox, since the St. Mary's lad comes from a musical family and can torn his talent to good advantage In his r.ew venture. Dutch will make his appearance in baseball uniform and show the lovers of the National game how he pitches. Later, all dndded up in evening dress, he's going to give a muslcale. Ought to be a great performance. WTLTjAMKTTE astir for game Elftra Is in Shape to Meet, TJniver- sity of Oregon Saturday. WTLLArKTTE TJN1VERSITT. Salem, Or., Oct. 27. (Special.)
