20 Tells Of the
Baseball Players

Those who have watched the fortunes OF

be hard task to equal the work OF John

tutelage the men have developed a system
OF team work which Is as smooth as the

dueipg a great spectacle, so'the work OF

The angel finders are not all dead by any
means but they cut lit le figure in The present
theatrical world. One Of the most SUCCESS
full finders was the late A. II. Chamberlyn.
When he first came to this city no one had
ever heard Of him. The first thing he did
on his arrival here, after disastrous tour
with a dancer abroad. was to put up at a
Broadway hotel and hire a press agent
To the press agent he fed fairy tales Of the
swath he was going to cut in the theatrical
field.
At various times he was reported to have
bought more than dozen theaters In this
city. He wanted to get talked about and
to have his name as that Of a theatrical man
men who had money.
After his initial campaign OF publicity
IL was time for him to 20 out and hunt up
an angel. He started out and found one in

theat rical managers. The man who dallies
with stocks is a good loser and ia not apt to
squeal and quit "a soon, for inst ance, as
a man engaged In mercantile pursuits.
'Chamberlyn garnered an angel and made
a production. While 1t wasn't a SIC
cess 1t didn't lose much money, and the
little It did lose the angel chalked up to
experience. As for Chamberlyn, he finally
got hold OF theater and a good show and
was on the high road to fortune when he
died suddenly.
As rule one experience as an angel
is enough for q man. Many an angel
who has been plucked by manager becomes

Of wealth and luxury, there is nothing

except that the opening at the neck Of the
waistcoat Is much shorter and there are
usually four or five buttons. The striped
waistooats come in black and yellow, blue

red and black and black and brown.
These same suits are worn when house

when the family does not boast butler.
