CUTTING UP PLAYS.

1.-THE most confusing and trying per-
Torrance for an actor is not the initial
representation OF piece by any
means. said Thesplan who has taken
part in scores Of theatrical productions,
though OF course most persons believe
such 10 be the case The performance
which occasions him the most worry
and anxiety Is the one which follows the
making of cuts In the show--that Is TO
say, the removal Of sundry lines and
bits Of stage business here and there
throughout the play,
These cuts are usually made on the
morning following the first representa-
ton The author and stage manager
put the entire company through a re-
hearsal and make the cuts as they go
along. When evening arrives, one Is
terribly puzzled TO remember whether
such and such a line was to be left In
or to be eliminated, and II for the sake

A Notable Winter.

The winter season II seldom noted for
the breaking of athletic records, Track
and field athletes rarely round into
prime condition until spring, but this
year they have started In TO alter the
usual order Of things, Alfred d, Plaw
Of the University Of California aud
John Flanagan. the famous heavy
weight champion, have already started
the smashing Of records, and II is more
than probable that others will follow
their example.
plaw first acquired national reputa-
ton when he raised the intercollegiate
hammer throwing mark TO l65 feel .
inches. This he accomplished in 1900,
and il was thought at the time that he
would have done better had he been OPP
posed by dangerous competitor That
this opinion was justified was illus
trated recently when he propelled the
sixteen pound hammer lSI feet 8 inches.
On this occasion plaw threw from a
seven foot circle. The worlds record,
made by Flanagan was III feet inch
es. The California star is planning TO
compete In the east In the spring. The
university track team has entered most
OF the intercollegiate meets and the
members depend on Plaw to capture
the weight events.
Flanagan has won new laurels by
breaking the shot put record. The Irish

Last year gave Braid bis first expe-

standing his defeat Of Vardon and Tay-
Tor, he ls not considered their equal
and II is very unlikely that he viii ever

played last season between Braid and
Taylor the former won three, Taylor
corralled five and one was halved, In
the ak contests between Braid and
Vardon the champion took two, Vardon
three and the remaining one was
halved
]. H. Taylor visited this country In
1900 after he had vanquished Vardon,
and, while he received a hearty well

impair Vardon's prestige The Amerl-
cans are warm admirers Of good golf-
ing, and. while they recognized the fact
that Taylor was champion, they re-
garded Vardon as being his equal a
fact which he demonstrated that year
by defeating Taylor at Chicago for the
open championship Of the United
States.
