why Not Let the Women Folk See
All the New York Series Free?
There is one way in which Earl Wagner
and President Freedman can win eyerlast-
ing consideration from the ladies Of WASH
ingtoD in the coming series between the
Senators and the Giants. That one way is
TO make all the games between these teams
ladies' days.
There will be large audiences present on
each occasion, and as the women folk are
great factor in baseball in this city, 1t would
only be the proper caper if the two con-
trolling pow in the clubs would get to-
gether and agree to give regular ladies'
day each game OF the co including series.
1t is definitely settled that all the games
of the entire series will be contested at
National Park, and, as Capt. Joyce's friends
and admirers are also among the female
cranks, it would only he in keeping with tile
good judgment which has predominated
among the Eastern magnates to give the
ladies' glorious opportunity TO enjoy four
glorious games.
This suggestion is thrown out with the
hone that MIR. Wagner and the New York
president will adopt the scheme and merit
the Endorsement of the numerous women
cranks who are ro yal rooters of the national
pastme, and who never fail to applaud
good play, no matter by whom it is made.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

''Blue Grass the play which Effie Oar
ling and Niron Letting well VIII prese mt our
ing their second weeks engagement at
the Bij jou Family Theater, was the flrst. and,
many critics contend, the best, of the plays
dealing with life in old Kentucky. The Gin
oinnai Enquirer, which is published just
across the river from Blue Grass land, says
of the play:
- Blue Grass although what might he
termed a domestic drama, is chock fuil OF
stirring and thrilling scenes. The orkings
OF the mysterious and dreaded Kentucky
Whitecaps are seen, and the storning OF
the jail and the sabcr duel are more than
sensational in their realism. number OF
new types OF character are evolved in
Blue Grass and one attraction is real,
live baby"
The production will be under the personal
direction of the author, Mr.. Miron Letting
WELL who plays an agreeable role, that OF a
young Kentucky lawyer, john Brand by
name. Effie Darling, the little Washing
ton actress, who SO pleased her friends with
her acting and singing In ''The Hand of
Fate is happily cast as Mary Brand, and
the same company, augmented for the oc-
casion, will appear in support.

make the Bijou place OF amusement to
which ladies and children may resort, with
the assurance OF every protection and cour-

Bjou S becoming a jewelin fact as well as in
name, is proved by the large attendance OF
handsomely-dressedl ladies and merry chill

by such audiences, the players give as spir-
tied performances as in the evenings, while
the prices are at the lowest possible limit.

HOME RUNS IN NEW YORK.

Right Field Shortened by Stretching
Rem milford writes to the Cincinnati Post
as follows:
Some of those home runs credited to the
New Workers ut the Polo Grounds since the
commencement Of the administration of
Scrappy Bill Joyce would have hard work
furnishing certificates Of good character.
New York provides one of the few grounds
In the league where a batsman can safely
count on getting full value ON every hit
made. Thereare no short fields, but Scrappy
Bill, who has never been accused of carry
Ing around more than his share of brains,
has made 1t possible TO turn three baggers
cracked out to right field into home runs>
Ropes have been stretched around the entire
outfield, and, exercising the authority
granted home clubsto make their own rules.
Capt. Joyce Insists that all hits past the
ropes shall be scored four baggers AT
first blush that looks fair for both clubs
until il is figured that New York's left
handed battalion is in the ma iority and
likely 10 make more hits in that direction
than the othc rfcllows. Twice when the
Reds pla ycd in New York were they com
PEELED 10 see Giants walk home on hit that
were legitimate three baSgers : I'D no
more.
THAT is bum rule" was the more
pointed than elegant wa y in which Umpire
Jack Sheridan dealt with the question. ut

fair play. Gsked President Young what
10 do IN the matter, and he said let it 60

New York, Sept. 12.-If you should
chance within the walls OF the Sing Sing
postoffice these days you might suspect
that some one had shipped a drug store
through the mails. Its atmosphere reeks
of carbolic acid, and underlying this is a

supreme. and with it there cane upon I he

Say, Mr.. Kane said he, why DON'T

Bury what?'' asked the postmaster,
icily.
Bury those dead letters They won't
keep much longer"
Sir said tie postmaster, this is no
joke"
And he was right. With the coming
of the odor, the entire office was crippled.

again much time was consuInedby tlecierks

Between the busy hours, the clerks and
the postmaster rooted around in an effort
to trace the source of the scent, hut found
nothing. Then the local health officer WAS

About this time persons called for their

along.

other in surprise. why, it's enough to

forth an adipose envelope. Tearing off the
end, he hauled out two sheets of paper, be-
tween which was i thin slice of limburger
cheese, dark and dank. On one sheet was
written:

remember the drop BAH of Buffintop and
Ramsey, Luby's sharp outcurve, Keefe's
slow ball, John Clarkson's variety of fast
and slow balls.
Nowadays, the curves are necessarily
wider and slower, and all such scientific
tricks as change OF pace, keeping the ball
up around the batter's neck, and the SIM
pie process Of sending 1t over at medium
speed, straight and true, with trust in the
fielder for safety, are the proper schemes.
"A drop curve is hard TO throw now, and
drop-curve pitchers had a terrible time
the first year ofthe new rules, ,as everything
they threw would hitihe plate. A wide out
curve can be seen and judged much easier
than In the old days, and an lncurve works
rather better. The fast, high hall, with
a little raise to it, and a drop by man
who can keep it up from the plate, are the
curves of the day.

Miss Vedder, the daughter Of a respectable
farmer Of Gruom's Corners, Tuesday night,
but failed to keep the appointment.
All preparations had been made for the
wedding. On the Wednesday night before
Leigh called at Miss Vedder's home, and
together they addressed the wedding in
vitations to mail, at the same time telling
Miss Vedder that as he had horse for sale
he would go out of town to dispose of the
animal, and would not return in time to
preach on Sunday, because, he said, after
the invitations were out he did not care to
stand in the pulpit and have the colgrega-
tion staring at him. That was the last seen
of him.
There were no services last Sunday and
noone received invitations to the wedding.
AS Leigh did not return an investigation
was made, and 1T was discovered thatmost
of his worldly goods had been removedfrom
his boarding house. He must have'taken
them away piece at time.
