MUSIC AND DRAMA,
GA NOBLE ROGUE"

Steele Mackaye's New Romantic Drama.
Steele Mackaye, whose romantic drama
of Paul kauvarn is one Of the most brill
liant dramatic achievements of the season
just closing, has devoted the leisure hours
of his present Chicago visit, says the Herald,
to the completion of new comedy drama,
which he believes will fully equal the popu.
larity of Hazel kirke." AS was an.
nounced some days ago, the title Of the play
is " A Noble Rogue the central character
being a man who has falleu into evil ways,
but is inclined naturally to better things.
There is a STRIKING ingenue role and various
other characters pictured with skill and
originality. The scene IS laid in Chicago,
and one Of the strongest dramatic situa-
tons is supposed to occur at the Clark
street bridge, where an episode almost SEN
sational in its character Will transpIre.
There are three acts written with close at
tention to the requirements of d legitimate
coined y-drama, and, as Mr.. Mackaye has SC
often distinguished himself as a draElatist,
and is one of the few who understand the
just proportion of literary and dramatic
features in play, exceptional merit may be
anticipated.
1t is a gratifying circumstance that this
new and promising work by the leading
dramatist of America is to be first pro-
duced in Chicago. The week of June % is
selected for this interesting and important
event, and the Grand Opera-House is to be
the place of production. Manager Hamlin
has determined that the environment of
the new play shall be entirely adequate, and
Mr.. Burridge is actively engaged With
scenery that promises to be better than the
best work he has done heretofore. Lee
Townsend, manager for Mr.. Mackaye in this
enterprise, is engaged in recruiting COM
pany of exceptional strength. Negotiations
are pending with Buckley Hillard, George
Fawcett Rowe and others, but any an
nouncement of the personnel of the CON-
pany would be premature until the con-
tracts are gned. At all events it is en-
couraging to know that Chicago is to have
another important dramatic production.

he Denies Some Wild and wooIIy State
ments- Detroits Club All Right.
Manager Watkins says his men are hit
ting the ball hard, but of late they have not
been punching their hits, which accounts
for their small scores. He pronounces ab-
surd the rumor that Frank Bancroft is to be
selected manager of tho Detroit club, and
he says the report that the franchise of the
club is for sale is equally false. Said he:
''Do you suppose we intend to dispose Of
business enterprise that is paying Us from IS
to 100 per cent! Detroit is in the League to
stay, and our city is growing all the time.
The backward weather this spring has re-
dUccd the attendance N all the baseball
cities, and the total receipts are several
thousand dollars behind what they were at
this time last season. Certain persons are
confused over this statement and construe
it to mean that the various clubs are head
over heals in debt. Such is not the fact.
All OF the clubs appear to be doing fairly
well. and as soon as the weather becomes
seasouable for baseball the attendance will
increase ali along the line"
Absolute harmony prevails among the De-
1Eoit players, and Bennett and Camel are N
good shape to do the catching during the
trip, barring accidents. Getzein, Conway
and Gruber are also in good trim. and Man
ager Watkins predicts that his team viii be

Standing of the League Clubs at the End
of The Sixth Week of the Season-The
American Association Players.
Six weeks Of the league championship
season have passed, and The Chicago team
still leads Its position in the race for the
pennant is not, however, as comfortable as
it was a week ago. It has begun It's East
ern trip with three defeats and one victory,
the result being reduction of over six per
cent IN its standing, while Boston has held
its own and New York has advanced seven
per cent. With Boston billed for three games
with Pittsburgh, New York for three with
Indianapolis, and Chicago for a similar num-
Der with Philadelphia, which is now playing
good ball and to be feared, the situation is
not altogether rosy for Anson's swells.
Still there is nothing in it to brighten their
friends. In their games on the home grounds
they outplaycd every visiting team, and
when they started East all Of them were in
frsrclasS condition.
They had a few ''off days." which ever
club has during the season, and it is, per-
haps, better to have them with a COM
Portable margin of lead in their favor than
when that margin is narrowed and their
strongest rivals confront them. Following
is the standing of the clubs at the end of
the sixth week Of the season:

from the results OF the campaign up 10 the
end of May, I should say that the battle for
the pennant will be between Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati and st, Louis, with the Athletic and
Baltimore clubs struggling for fourth posi-
ton and Cleveland, Louisville and Kansas
City bringing up the rear. That is the out
look at present. Perhaps circumstances
may bring about some startling results dur
ing the June campaign, but l incline to the
opinion that the three teams now in the lead
will be the leaders in the race by October
