by long odds the best female bag-punchrr

give cards and spades to the pugilistic
cracks who think they can hammer the
pigskin. Miss Gordon has the art down to
a fine point. Her fancy figures are ex-
ecuted with precision and skill that could
only have been obtained by years Of hard
practice. The stage setting for Miss Cor
