The Catholic Library Association team
took the game of indoor base ball from the
Chatham Artillery team at C. L. A. GYM

The game was witnessed by several hum

large there were many good plays on both
sides. The pitching of Horrigan, a catch
by Winters and Ed Brady's and Downey's
drives into the gallery were the features.
Barbour of the Chathams played a good
game.

j. f. Dodson does not believe that actors
are always born. "In my opinion" he
says, "they are mostly made. Hard work
and plenty of it-that forms the alterna-
tive route to the yet undiscovered royal
road to success. My training was long and
arduous. When boy, 1 dabbled in anna
teur theatricals, and after had given up
reading for the law l first faced the foot
lights as full fledged professional. That
was at the Princes theater in Manchester,
England, and while fulfilling stock en-
gagements there and elsewhere supported
such actors as Barry Sullivan, Charles
Matthews, Jefferson, Phelps, Ellen Terry,
Adelaide Nelson and Toole. The stock
system was then at its best, and can tell
you / played during a week in those days
as many parts as the average actor on tour
now plays in a couple of years. 1 don't
regret it, though, for it gives one a range
of work and an insight now almost wholly
denied to those who have entered the pro-
fession under the conditions imperative to
the touring system.

person of 4. II. Sothern, this popular
young actress ought to be about as con-
tented as an ordinary mortal can well be.
Miss Harmed has during the last few
years demonstrated her right to be regard
ed as one of the very best among the ex-
ceptionally capable leading women of tho
American stage, and the fact that she pre-
fers to accept engagements outside of her
husbands company, where there can be no
suspicion of preferment because of favorit-
ism, shows that she is possessed of the sort
of Independence which, when allied to
ability, is certain to win success in any
field of effort.
The first engagement of note that Miss
Harmed had was in 1887 with George Clarke
I'm 1.-THE Corsican Brothers and "False
Shame" His company toured for few
weeks in New England disastrously. Miss
Harmed was the leading lady.
For two years after that she acted the
part OF Lisbe in "a Night Off," under the
management of Messrs Bundage and Bu-
ford, appearing in the west and south.
She was the heroine to the hero Of Harry
Lacy in "The Still Alarm" She did not
quite finish the season with that organiza-
ton, owing to the fact that she became
involved in the legal trouble between
Messrs. Arthur and Lacy, the latter Of
whom suffered total eclipse as histrionic
prophet by his allegation that Miss Harmed
was incompetent. Julia Arthur is also
said to have left this company for very
nearly the same reason.
Her first New York engagement was to
play leading business in Sedley Browns
"a Long Lane ut the Fourteenth Street
theater. The engagement was short, and
she was next seen in the comedy part Of
Florence Fetherley in Louis Aldrich' s COM
pany presenting "The Editor"
About this time Daniel Frohman saw
her act and engaged her as leading lady of
4. II. Sothern's company. She appeared
with Mr.. Sothern in "The Master of
Woodbarrow' and in the other plays in
his repertory, and originated the part Of
the Dancing Girl in Henry Arthur Jones'
drama of that name.
The part was in reality the star part
and it is said that both Daniel Frohman
and Mr.. Sothern were induced to present
the play in this country especially to equip
Miss Harmed with character that would
advance her reputation.
Following that came engagements with
various prominent companies until, when
"Trilby" was produced in this country
she created the title role, in which she
won conspicuous success. Afterward she
was a short time with Mr.. Sothern as his
leading woman in "An Enemy to the
King" taking the place of Miss Kimball,
who had been suddenly stricken with ILL
ness. Her engagement for "Spiritisme"
followed

Barnet,s Many Successes.
