AN ANECDoTE.

Charles Reed, the comedian, was
playing to immense business in San
Franciscoat the same time that Barrett
the tragedian, was playing to very
poor houses. One day while walking
up Market street with some friends,
they saw Barrett coming in their d.
rection. Reed felt as if he would like
to show them that he was on speaking
terms with the great actor. So when
they drew near he said very ckeerily:
Good morning, Mr.. Barrett"
Barrett looked as il he never had
seen Reed before, but answered his sa-
lutation with chilly Good morning.

rett.''

"Ah. yes,-and Brass Monkeys.-in

And Reeds friends concluded that he
was not on very intimate terms with
the great tragedian.

DIAMOND GLINTS.

Emmett Heidrich, the great ST Louis
fielder, reconsidered his decision to
quit the game. He returned to his old
te am Monday and made four hits.
Chicago seems to have the inside
track of Boston in the fight for the
American league championship. The
White Sox have three good pitchers to
son--wh1le the Beauties have been one
star twirler-the veteran ICY" Young.
There are many baseball fans who
would be pleased nightly to see the
Phillies capture the National league
pennant. Since Jennings advent to
the team they have taken a tremen-
dOus squirt, and it is within the pale of
possibility that they will win at the
post.
Baseball has been officially recog-
nized and Endorsed by the French gov
eminent, and is to be made a part of
the schoolboy's education in France.
This is evidenced by the engagement
as instructors Of Albert Hopkins of
Baltimore and Harry Alexander of
New York, by NJ. Leyques minister of
public instruction. 1t will be the duty
of the Americans to teach baseball to
young Frenchmen.
Roy Patterson, of the Chicago Am
crican League team, made the best
pitching record one day recently that
has ever been credited to professional
slabman. Detroit made two hits off
of him, and these two men were the
only ones to reach first base during the
game. In all the no-hit games pre-
viously pitched occasional bases on
balls or errors by the winning club
have allowed from three to six base
runners to touch first, and Patterson's
record of two must stand as absolutely
unrivaled.

John c. Chapman, the veteran mana.
ger, writes as follows: 1.-The Donovans

ness and while there are two gooc
.uns' in the National League at present
in Bill and Pat, there is one playing
III the New York State League who
is coming very fast. He has few equals
as an outfielder in any of the minor
leagues. and his hitting is far better
than many of those now playing in the
major leagues and he is a good base
runner. He was brought out by the
late Tommy Cahill, when he managed
the Troy Eastern League club. He cap
tanned the Meriden club, of the Con-
necticut State League, in 1897, when
they won the pennant and besides play
ing outfield he won 10 out of the 81
games he pitched. He has been
knocked about the past few seasons in
the minor leagues, but always kept his
end up. l consider him good enough
for faster company, and where he
would undoubtedly do still better work
if handled by competent manager"

FAvoRs COLLEGE PLAYERS.

There seems to be more college play
ers entering professional baseball ev-
cry year, and my limited experience in
the business has convinced me that
the game offers many excellent oppor
tunities to young man, provided he
can make good, writes George Winters
of the Boston American Leauge club.
Moreover, | believe that there is much
better chance for a college player to
make good than is usually thought.
The wonderful Christy Matthewson is
perhaps the best example of the sue
cessful college pitcher in professional
baseball. His ability makes him an
exception to the general rule. of course,
and few of us can hope to equal his
phenomenal record. Plank of the Phil
adelphia American League team, col
lege mate of mine, is another example.
While these and others are excep.
tional stars and through their ability
are bound to achieve unusual success,
believe hard work and constant appli-
cation will enable many with less
genius to at least make good
In my own case, | know that l owe
more to the excellent support of my
team mates and the wonderful coach
ing of Jimmy Collins than to any abil-
ity of my own. Collins is an ideal
captain, and. with him as side part
ner any pitcher is bound to do his best
In close game or a bad inning his
coaching has been of wonderful assist
ance to me.
1t Is this that shows the vital differ
ence between amateur and professional
ball. When pitching in college usual
ly tried to fool the batsmen. and it
can be done, but in the league it is diff
ferent.
You can't fool the old timers, and it
has been my experience that in the
league it is better to just keep pegging
at it, putting them "over the corners
and depend on your support. Control
seems to be the greatest asset pitche,
can have, and if he has that, follows
the coaching of his catcher and captain
a good team behind him will often do
the rest"
In college | always trained carefully
during the season, and I selieve in do
ing the same thing now. In baseball
as in everything else, one must be in
good condition to do justice, and | try
to keep in trim all the year round
Many contend that the temptations
which young man meets on the road
are dangerous and provided ones bab-
its are well formed, that is undoubt-
edly true.
If one keeps in training, however,

NEW BOER PLAY.

The new Paul Potter play in which
Louis Mann and Clara Lipman will
appear is Boer story with it's scenes
laid in Doppersdorf, Transvaal vii
lage, and it's vicinity, just prior to and
during the jameson raid. 1t will be
presented in four acts and six tab
leaux. Its title has not yet been defin-
itely settled. Mr. Mann will play the
character of Piet Prinsloo, an old Boer
farmer of fifty years, deaf, peppery,
and full of fight. Miss Lipman will
play Mona Prinsloo, his daughter, a
willful, pretty girl Of twenty years.
Eight of the principal characters will
be strong types of the Transvaal Boer.
The sentimental interest is developed
between the characters of Mona and
Rodney Blake, a young English doctor,
with whom she falls in love, and who
joins the Jameson raiders. For com
edy interest Mr.. Potts has depended
mainly on the development of what
may be termed unconscious hui or
funny things that some of the Boer
personalities in his play might do or
say without palpable intent to be
comic, in this way creating a very
strong, but enforced bright and hui
morous tone in the drawing of his
characters. The scenery will be paint
ed by Physioc, from photographs taken
in the Transvaal, SO that the scenes
will be most graDbic nictUreS of tho
country now racked by war. Mr.. Mann
and Miss Lipman have left Berlin for
