THEATRICAL.
Lord Byron"

IL was happy inspiration which led Hiss
Rlda Louise Johnson to select the picturesque
personality Of the English poet as the central fp
ure OF a play which aims to present in a series
OF pictures threaded with historical and literary
interest the many sided phases of Lord Byron's
strange career, The public has recently been
treated in magazine literature TO a number Of
revivalS' in historical subjects chiefly biograph-
ical in character Great soldiers and great states
men have both been put into human guise and ex-
hibited with dramatic effect. But il remained
for Miss johnson 10 select for stage purposes
character presenting qualities not only martial
and polite but also in unique degree sentimental
"a composite OF characteristics happily suited
to the maintenance of the increasing dramatic in.
terest essential to the success of stage repre-.
sanitation.
As treated in the play produced at the Lyceum
theater by Mr.. James Young and company last
evening, Lord Byron offers in combination the
qualities OF poet and dreamer with those of the
resourceful man of affairs. Possibilities are re-
realed which indicate that he narrowly missed
becoming one of the great statesmen of his
time; and we are led to believe that had Byron s
earlier environment been better adapted TO the
cultivation of his more substantial endowments
instead OF the melifuous dandy, the half satirlc
the courageous enthusiast, the libertine, half in
spired bard, history would have had to record for
him career as great in constructive achieve.
ment as his real career was great in failure
How true this picture is to fact need not concern
the people of this generation. II is enough to
know that the Lord Byron o. tac pay makes
characterization full of romantic and dramatic
possibilities, which MIR. Young has developed
with artistic intuition and skill
The last appearance OF this young player in
Scranton was in production of Hamlet" made
four years ago at the age of 2l. During the in
tervenng years he has had the advantage Of
study and companonship with some OF the great
actors and stage managers of the day. including
an extended engagement under the immediate
supervision of the late Augustin DAILY The benc.
ft of this broadening course of professional in
struction was visible last night in the greater
confidence Of his workmanship and in the fine
artistic Of the value and proportion OF stage
detail. The audience was made aware early in
the play that it was in the presence of an
artist. As the play developed from climax TO
climax the increasing demands upon his inter.
pretative skill were satisfied in each instance
and the effect wrought out in the death scene in
the concluding act was one which many an older
and more famous player might well have en-
We'd. In scenic features, costuming and the va
rous accessories the production was among the
best OF the season.

BASE BALL CHAT.

The boys certainly had their batting clothes on
yesterday.
Kervin made fine showing in center field and
batted with terrific force.
The Deehanty family divided six hits among
the three Of them yesterday.
Something must have been the matter with Nc
Intyrc. The big fellow didn't get hit.
1t seems to be speciality Of Dick Knox to get
hit with the ball. lie manages to bring his form
in contact with the sphere every game.
Ralph Scybod last year with Richmond, who
was considered the heaviest hitter in the Allan
ii clcaguc, was the first American league bats
man to make home run.
And the pirate was put out Of the game! Anu
the mild nsnnered Kennedy, also! That GER
tainly looks as though the members of the team
are Of o decidedly pugnacous turn OF mind.
Jimmy Dean played a great game against
Wilkes Barre yesterday at Elmiia Four runs
and three singles were his batting record, and
in the field he accepted eight chances. He also
stole two bases.
Patrick Donovan, the st. Louis right fielder,
is a big favorite in Pittsburg as the result Of
his long service captain of the Pirates. Ar
rangements were made to give him great well
come yesterday, and $500 in cash and gold
watch and chain were secured for him by ad-
miring friends.
In Mondays game between Rochester and Wor.
cester Of the Eastern league, Householder, Ro-
chester's big first baseman landed on the curves
of Miller and Klobedanz, the Worcester twirers,
for quartettc Of hits which counted for eleven
bases. They were a single, double and two
home runs.
"Doggie" Miller, the ex.National Lacquer, COW
cred himself with disgrace in Mondays game
between Dayton and Fort Wayne. He took
exception to one Of Umpire Cookies decisions
| and viciousy assaulted him. lie put out
of the game and his action very much disap-
proved by the crowd In the same game Catcher
Donahue of the Dayton team, had a great bat
ting record, hitting out a single, three doubles
and a home run.
Don't get away from the fact that Scranton has
in Mike Doherty a greater third baseman than
he is given credit for being-Wilkes.B Barre
| Record.
| Right you are, Mr.. Merrill. Dohertys work
last year made him, with the possible exception
| of Bill Coughlin, the crack third baseman Of
| the Atlantic league. He has hit the ball hard
so far, also, and everything augurs that his par.
| ticular corner Of the Scranton inheld will be
particularly well taken care of.

ATLANTIC LEAGUE.

As a result of yesterdays games
Scranton and Reading maintain the
Atlantic league lead, and the Philadel-
phia Athletics are now at the very
lowest rung OF the ladder. 1t took
Scranton ten innings yesterday to de-
feat Allentown, but heavy hitting did
the trick and the local boys came out
triumphant, having a patched up team
in the field at that, at the end, on ac-
count of the removal of Second Base
man O'Brien and Kennedy from the
game on account of their becoming
trifle too loquacious. Elmira won its
first game, hitting the Wilkes-Barre
pitchers almost st will and trouncing
the Barons soundly. Newark downed
Jersey City and Reading took its third
game from the Athletics. The aver
