Aberdeen was not only week at the

ball, full OF vim and ginger. They stole
bases with ~impunity. Aberdeen simp-

played together in three or more games

THE WHEATON GAME.

Umpire r. w. Reynolds, OF Mellette.
THE WHEATON GAME.
On Saturday morning the team iourn-
eyed to Wheaton to contest with the
crack nine of that city. Mess. Ross
Parks, l.. g. O~chsenreitsr and A. ID.
Kramer accompanied the boys. Play
was not called until 4 p. IN. Wheaton
presented their crack pitcher Bandelin
in the box, while Webster put in Cox.
Tommy Schall, OF Ortonville, acted as
umpire and while he meant to be fair,
proved entirely incompetent. Both
sides suffered, but Webster lost u couple
OF runs by reason OF his decisions. This
il admitted by the Wheaton players.
Cox pitched a good game, pitching such
as would win nine games out OF ten.
He was only hit for four safe hits, but
gave three bases OH bulls and hit three
batters or rather they hit themselves
knowing the umpire would not inter
iere. Bandelin struck out but two men
but was very effective when men were on
bases. A base hit at three differeat
times would have won the game for
Webster but it was not forthcoming.
The Wheaton fans had a strong attack
OF heart disease and did not breath easy
until the last man was out in the last
inning. But it vas a good game iii the
losing Of which there was no dIscredit.
| The Wheaton team is a strong team
and has not been defeated this season
except by Webster twice. Wheaton is a
hard town for a whiting team to win in,
for the hackers and fans continually
! shower abuse on the visitors and would
probably meh team ii they won from
their pets.

chosen until he appeared on the grounds;
each club to play che same nine
as played today with a privilege
Of change of one player IL desired.
This was defined and the stuff
was off. Webster can beat Wheaton
under any fair circumstances and they
know il. Take the Saturday game at
wheaton-with the advantage of home
grounds, with an umpire fayoring them,
with a friendly crowd, with their best
pitcher In the box-the best they could
do was TO beat Webster 8 to 2 and they
admit but for the umpire the score
would have been 9 TO 4. Webster has
never squealed over the loss of a game
this season, but this gang of has-beens
always has an excuse ready. The first
time they were defeated, the hackers
claimed the game was sold; the second
game they claimed the men were drunk;
now they cry umpire. The truth is that
Webster won the games on their merits.

lowing Influences of soft Italian skies un-
der which the librettist composer spent o
well earned vacation last fall. Upon the
famous island of Capri in the Vesuvian

Kingdoms, and in the loves intrigues and
martial struggles of their pretty poten.
tates, he has found an abundance OF hui
NOR and romonco for his story 1t has
long been an open secret that neariy r'l
tho clever verses that glisten in the libre;-
to Of "El CAPTAIN" were written by Sousa,
although his name has never figured on
the bills In tho capacity Of part author Of
that book. The Ingenious "Typical Tune
of Zanzibar" Is an apt illustration of his
happy gift of humorous versification. ~
is confidently predicted that the lyrics OF
"The Bride Elect will be q genius revela-
tion for their crisp humor, swinging
rhythm, and singablo quality.

To succeed these days, astar must eithor
have talent Or rare personal magnetism.
Sometimes, these qualities are combined
though rarely. Miss May Irwin certainly
has u lot of histrionic ability and u person.
ality as magnetic rs it is comprehensive.
If one wishes to SOC matter triumph over
mind, one has only to SEQ performance
of 1.-The Swell Miss Fitzswell." Good
comedians and farces are more uncom.
mon than In times gone by. Not, per-
haps that the public has tired of them,
but because writer's Of that style of onter-
tainment are not us able now to turn out
rs pleasing concoctiOns rs they once were.
Miss May Irwin, however, has found an
exception in her new play by H. A. Du
Souchct, which is original In the extreme,
genuinely comic and productive Of un.
feigued hlarlty. But however clever Is
tho play. the star is more so. Miss May
Irwin is sui gcneris." She Is the en-
bodiment of'good humor and spontan eous
fun. She has only to appear on tho stage
and close bond Of sympathy Is at once
established between two sides of tho foot
lights.
Her iovulity and hnnhomie are irresis
tible. She has what so few women on tho
stage possess, n keen sense Of humor. And
to all these natural gifts, Miss Irwin brings
to her work, however trivial that 1t may
seem at times, an artistic perception Of tho
highest voluo Itissomothing more than
mere inspiration that enables singer to
get as much out of simple littlo song as
Miss Irwin does out of 1.-THE Frog Song"
and "The Pckaninny's Lullaby"and some
of the. others she renders sans rival
presents at the Walnut Street Theatre for
one week only beginning Monday. March
2Sth
This will be the only opportunity to sec
May Irwin in this big success for she does
not play in or near Philadelphia again this
year,
