HALL PLAYERS AND DIAMONDS.

Ball players are given TO the diamond
habit About twice year Diamond
Joe" visits the players Of the leading
organizations and shows them the lat
est gems that he has picked up on his
travels II II is about pay day, he is
certain to make some sales. a young
player who begins in the National
league at fair salary looks forward to
the day that he will be able to buy his
first diamond and consults every man
on the team as to what he should pay
for the stone When the players leave
their hotel TO so TO the grounds, the
safe gets its full share Of valuable
rings that are left behind. Some OF
the Weather men can afford a small
diamond set In a watch charm or lock-
ct. and some even permit themselves
the luxury Of a diamond scarfpn. You
can be assured, however, that the pin
is screwed TO the shirt when worn In
public. A ball player who has sweet
heart or a sister never considers that
he has done his fun duty until he has
made her a present OF at least one dia-
mond. Players when asked why they
have such preference for diamonds say
that in case they get hard up they
can get more return for good diamonds
than for anything else.

, his thousands Of admirers and sincere
wellwishers have long marveed. For
instance, Mansfield has a way OF ex-
/ tending one hand heavenward with his
/ fingers stretched wide apart He Is also
given to the habit of sprawing his legs
while committing that offense, and the
combination is simply appalling to
| those who earnestly desire to see this
brilliant actor do always the best Of
which he is capable. Still another fault
is his trick of stopping suddenly,
| throwing his chest forward and de-
| pressing his head the while he vicious
/ ~ spits out his speech to the accom-
| paniment of quivering body and out
| stretched arms. II is possible that
some Of these mannerlsms are tolerable
in certain circumstances, but Mansfield
employs them so often that they can
not but make the judlcious grieve,"
But, after all, these do not seriously
affect Richard Mans6eld's greatness.
They are merely unsightly little
| splotches upon an otherwise perfect
picture Of majestic proportions-like a
few poorly executed leaves in a mag
nificent painting of vast forest. What
the future may contain for Mansfield
he alone can determine He has reach
ed the point where he is the aTbiter Of
his own career but In the way Of
friendly advice II may be suggested

sistible temptation to stray or after

There are many facts In connection
with the rise of Mansfield which make
interesting reading The Londoners
thought him so poor an actor that they
accorded him only the most meager
support, yet they flock to Her Majesty's
theater OF which Beerbphm Tree is
both star and manager. This would
seem tantamount TO the declaration
that, from the British standpoint at
least. Tree Is better actor than Mans
field. Try. however, to get prominent
critic in the British metropolis to say
that, and you will find that he is UNI
willing to do so, unless he happen to
be member of that select little clique
which affects TO believe that the sun
