The Louisville Courier-Journal
says:
plans for increasing the circuit
of the National baseball league t.
twelve clubs are under way and it is
stated on good authority that Louis
vile will be one of the clubs in the
circuit. During the last week Presi-
dent James A. Hart of the Chicago
team and Secretary Harry Pulliam
and Manager Clark of the Pittsburg
team were in town and, though they
stated at the time that they were not
here on business, recent developments
have tended to show that they were
looking over the ground with a view
to placing a team here"

John Drew as LIfe-saver.

OO1U 0t0w 80 euS-S0VSus
It may have been forgotten by thea
ter goers that John Drew once proved
himself hero by saving the life of
Miss Maude Adams at the risk of his
own. At the time Mr.. Drew was
playing in Providence, r. /. 1t was
on the initial night ard in the open
ing scene Mr.. Drew and Miss Adams
were occupying the stage, when the
backing OF the attic interior gave
way ana fell. Quick as thought Mr..
Drew threw himself in the path of the
railing scenery, knowing full we'll that
II 1t struck Miss Adams she might re-
celve terrible injuries, if not death.
he received the full weight of the
topping piece, receiving bad cuts
about the hands and face, but Miss
Adams escaped unhurt.
For time it was feared that the
famous actor was seriously injured.
The curtain was rung down, but when
MI. Drew assured the managers that
as soon as his injuries could be dress
ed he would be ready to go on, the
audience was requested to remain in
their seats until the scene could be
set again. Meantime surgeon had
been called, and the numerous cuts
which Mr.. Drew had received were
patched up one after the other 1t
was within half an hour after the ac-
cident that the scenery was once more
in place and all was ready to pro-
ceed
When Mr.. Drew reappeared he was
received with great enthusiasm by
the house, which was quick to appre-
ate his heroic act. 1t was fortunate
at the time for the distinguished
comedian that no small part of his
leisure was spent in various kinds
of exercises by which his body was
made strong enough to stand the
shock which he received.

Buchanan was also barred, but no
other ruling was made against him.
Last spring he signed to ride for Van

owned by the New York millionaire
failed to come up to expectations and
Buchanan was unable to win with
them. Buchanan can ride as low as
100 pounds He is a strong boy and
can make a good finish. Last year
he had PIT mounts and rode thirty
winners. He was married only few
