ably successful play, "Trilby," will be
given at the Providence Opera House,
May H., II, and IL. A company Of nd-
mirable players has been brought to-

once commenda BILE.
There are four acts in Paul NJ. Potter g

a serious step in the matter. When he goes
out the Laird enters the studio. he

Trilby has been exhibiting herself some
where and he is terribly excited over it.
Trilby comes in dressed as a vivsndier.
Svengali makes insulting references to
Trilhy's exhibitions, and il suddenly

BROWN DEFEATS WESLEYAN.

In spite of the cold drizzly weather yes
terday afternoon the Brown boys played
Wesleyan an exciting game OF ball on
Lincoln Field and scored another VIC
tory. 1t was q hard fought battle from
start to finish and was the most exciting
game the Brown boys have yet played.
The weather was so chilly ano raw that
II kept the mems hands cold and the
fielding was very ragged on both sides.
1t was decidedly a batting contest, and
1t was here that Brown cutclsssed her
opponents. Scarcely chance to bunch
hits slipped through her fingers. When
hit was needed the boys with brown
stockings stepped right up and made it
and banged pitcher Tirreli's delivery 40
has not been done this year. The Wes-
leyan boys took their turn at the bat and
did some very pretty stick work and they
managed to keep just enough ahead Of
Brown until the eighth inning to keep
the latter on the jump all the time It
was nobody's game until 1t was over.
The fun began In the first inning when
Wesleyan, by a combination of hits end
3 errors, sent three men across the plate.
But Brown was right at their heels.
Phillips and Robinson flied out, Fultz
got base on balls and scored on Ladders
two bagger. Brady got base on balls
and when Lauder was on third Brady de-
liberately started to walk down toward
second. The Wesleyan men were phased.
Lauder started for home and the result
was that Lauder stole home and Brady
second, much 10 the amusement of the
spectators. The next scoring was done by
Brown in the third inning When four
runs were scored by combination of 3
bases on balls, two bagger and a single.
In the fourth inning Wesleyan scored one
run only though they bad the bases full
all the time. In the fifth inning Wesleyan
had scored four runs when Captain Fultz
thought ii wise TO put Brady In the box
in the place of Mellor. Tommy" stop
ped the scoring for that ipnipg. Brown
made one run IN their half. In the sixth
Wesleyan made three runs on two costly
errors by Summersgill. Brown made two
runs.
At the end of the sixth inning the in
tense excitement began when Wesleyan
was In the lead by two runs. The Brown
boys realized that their lucky seventh
was approaching. and when they came to
tho bat the spectators, who were mostly
college boys, went wild. Such lusty
cheering, shouting and stamping is sell
dom heard even at Brown. They began
to cry "We want three runs and the
boys on the field gratifed their wish ex-
actiy. Wesleyan then opened the eighth
with two more runs again taking the
lead. In the last half of the inning the
home boys put the game on their list of
victories by making four runs on 3 bases
on balls, 2 two baggers and three bag
ger. The only fielding feature in the game
was Robinson's catch OF low straight
drive in the seventh. The batting OF
Robinson, Gammons and Lauder were the
other features.

It's case OF Judging between the old
and the new, a selection of a veteran who
lie rapidly passing into the ranks of the
"has beehs" and novice who is as rap
idly developing into the professional
ranks. Grain has pitched on many a team
and has years and years of baseball ex-
perience. while Friel is practically speak
ing, inexperienced. On the other hand,
however, Big Eds arm is slowing, going
back on bim; ever since he picthed on

erhood and National Leagues bis arm has
been getting glassier and giassier, season

possible for him. TO pitch through an en-
tire game. OF the youngster IL can be
said that he has good control OF the ball,
understands his business and only lacks
the readiness that can be acquired by ex.
perience Still this lack OF experience
puts him on a par with Grain and the
only way in which the better man can be
determined, as far as can see is TO take
them on the trip and give them both
trial Doc

With the fast lot of men on the Brown
Varsity bali team 1t seems to me thst the
style of chit and rum playing would aid
them materially in games played against
effective pitchers. The plan Is simple
and after comparatively short amount
OF practice can be successfully used. In
brief II i0 as follows: Whenever base
runner reaches first base the next batsmsn
must work with him, that is to say, the
runner signals TO the batsman on what
ball he will start for second, and until
that ball is pitched the batsman must
tempted by one exactly where he likes it.
On the contrary, when the ball Is
pitched on which the runner agrees to
start, the batsman is bound to hit, no
matter how wide, close, low or high 1t
may be.
This concerted action between runner
and batsman throws the opposing infeld
out of gear.Rnd no double play Is possible
unless IL be short fly ball. BY this pro-
cess runners are worked around the
bases, one by one. with such regularity
that victory comes oftener than defeat.
The intercollegiate football rules com
mittee, appointed for the purpose of re-
ceiving and adjusting the differences in
the various codes, has completed its work
and in the course OF fortnight will pub
ilsh hilc HtW fulrb NuiIn HHNt Dttu HETttu
upo1. The three important questions
which were considered, and which will
affect the game es played next year were
those OF mass momentum plays, fair
catches and officials. In the matter OF
fair catches the rule which has been
adopted Is practically the reinstatement
of tine old rule relative to fair catch,
which was In force in 1893.
As to the officials, II was decided that
there should be three es i'm 1893, an UNI
pire, a referee, and q lineman. The two
last named shall not interfere, except
upon the request of the umpire, though
they shall call his attention to any un-
necessary roughness OF foul tackling.
AS TO mom0tum plays, after much
debate, In which Harvard and Pennsyl-
vania opposed any rule which required
men to occupy fixed positions, Yale and
Princeton taking the opposite view, il
was settled TO do away with momentum
plays altogether.

After to days game the Grays will start
on their first trip end tomorrow open the
season at Wilkesbarre. Thus far in prac-
tice and championship games alike, the
march of the 0rays has been one OF vic
tory and triumph and there are a goodly
number of the local cranks who are ex-
pectant OF seeing the team return unde-
feated and again ready to do business at
the old stand in the same old way How
this will pan out no one can predict. All
of the teams IN the circuit are picking up
and are rapidly falling into line, so that
the path of the Grays will not be one OF
asphalt by any means, but judging from
the showing they have already made the
probabilities are that they will render q
good account OF themselves while away.
Ii is only customary for the Grays TO
carry 13 or ID men on the team, end as
there is more than the usual quota of
pitchers on this seasons nine, the probn-
bilities are that ono of .he extra men,
either Grain or FrieI will be left at home,
farmed or released. This has become
necessary since Rudderham has signed.
President Draper says that the Providence o
Baseball Club can only afford to carry
four pitchers, that is speaking from a
financial standpoint, and as thore would
be but little TO do for the extra man some
immediate action will, very likely be
taken.

LOSS OF $500, 900 CLAIMED.
Liquor Company Cure Doomed by the
Late Col Shepard, Sues the
Mail and Express.

New York Dec. 22.-The AIorrell Ii
quOr Cure company has brought suit
in the United States circuit court
against the Mail and Express Publish
ing company for $500. 900 damages.
When Elliott r. Shepard was alive
the Mail and Express gave much space
to the Morren liquor cure. The company
occupied offices rent free in the Mail
and Express building, at No.203 Broad
way
In the complaint the liquor cure COM
pany claims further that Mr.. Shepard
entered into an agreement in 1892
whereby, in consideration of $50 shares
Of the companys stock, valued at SIS
600, he pledged the Mail and Express
to boom the enterprise by printing
laudatOry notices. According to the
complaint they helped to increase the
business of the company
Relying upon a continuance of this
backing the company claims to have
city and also to have established dis
pensaries for gratuitOus treatment-alI
at heavy expense and all redOunding to
the enterprise and beneVOlence of the
Mail and Express.
After Mr.. Shepard's death, according
to the plaintiffs allegations the Mail
and Express Publishing company turn
ed a cold shoulder upon the cure Bus
mess soon fell off, and the offices were
necessarily abandoned.
The Mail and Express company has
responsibility in the contract made by
Mr. Shepard. The company takes the
position that Mr.. Shepard was not au-
thOrlzed to enter into any such agree
ment. and that the contract was his
personal affair.
