chesbro,s Record.

Chesbro led the American leagues
pitching column last year with per-
centage of TIA, appearing in total
of forty-one games. He pitched in
one tie game. Not considering men
who appeared in less than twenty
games, Tannehill of the Boston cham
pions and Bernhard of Cleveland made
the next best records. Waddell was
seventeenth in the official list. "Rube
therefore should be omitted from the
list of possibilities, as he is doing no
better this year than he did year ago
Then, too, he fields his position only
moderately we'll compared to several
others. When right "Rube" is a piae-
nonlenon. but his uhsteadiness on his
''off" days would sometimes convince
one tirat minor league job was about
his limit. The trouble With the erratic
'Rube" is that he tries to do too many
things. He is an actor, a life saver, u
tourist. fisherman, a practical joker
and a pitcher. One of these days when
he decides to follow only three or four
branches of activity he may become the
greatest box artist in America. but not
till then.

Chesbro thinks nothing Of batting at a
.23Q rate. "Matty" hits the ball sur
prisingly, too-for a pitcher. In recent
game l saw him crack out two doubles
and single. He has also made two
home runs and a three Dagger this sea-
son.
AS for comparing Chesbro or any
other really star pitcher of the present
day to Rusie--well, there is hardly u
basis on which line can be drawn.
The batting and pitching of today are
very different from what were seen even
ten years ago. While don't doubt that
Chesbro would make a better showing
against teams of Rusie's time than
Amos did himself. it should be remem-
bered that Chesbro has had the benefit
of up to date ball science. 1t takes
better pitcher to succeed today than it

day Joe Cans threw over that one
punch knockout Erne had typhoid
fever, few months ago. and after get
ting out Of the hospital went to his
home near Buffalo to recuperate. A
little later he went to Canada on a
hunting trip. The outdoor life brought
him into condition. Then he came back
to New York and for the past two
months has been working hard daily in
Elmer's gymnasium. He is very fast
and strong.
When Erne is entirely satisfied that
he is right he will throw down the
gauntlet to the best of the lightweights.
He is still a genuine lightweight him

pounds stripped and could easily come

that these four players are the ablest

PLANS OF MANAGERS FOR
NEXT YEARS PLAYS.

Here are the plans Of some OF the
theatrical managers for next season SO
far as they have announced them:
For Savage two companies will play
"The College Widow on the road, one
beginning in Chicago at the end OF
July, the other in Boston the middle
of August. 1.-THE County Chairman
"The Sho- Cum" woodland" and 1.-THE
Prince of Pilsen" will all continue on
the road. Early in the season Savage
will mount George AIDES new piece.
1.-THE Bad Samaritan" and musical
play by John Kendrick Bangs and
Manuel Klein. Later will come Will
liams' newspaper" play.
From London for next season Klaw
& Erlanger will bring Forbes Robert
son, and in two or three new parts; the
Drury Lane pantomime, "The White
Cat;" "Veronique," Messengers pretty
operetta that has been running for q
year, and, for the road, 1.-THE Duchess
Of Dantzic." They will continue Ben
Hur," and for a companion piece they
will mount play from Wallace's other
novel, 1.-THE Prince of India" They also
have many musical plays in prepara-
tion-"The Pearl and the Pumpkin"
which is spectacular; 'In Tammany
Hail." for Cawthorne; "The Ham Tree"
for Mcintyre and Heath, the vaudeville
pair; "The Rogers Brothers In Ire
land" piece by George Cohan for Fay
Templeton and 1.-THE Butterfly of FASH
ion," fanciful thing by Mcclellan and
Kerker. The Cohans go on with Little
Johnny JONES'
Belasco, If he does all that he 10
promising, will revive "Zaza" and 'Du
Barry" for Mrs. Carter, continue War
field in 1.-THE Music Master" with Lon
don as the ultimate goal; mount new
play (said to be American) for Blanche
Bates and another likewise American,
for Robert billiard and put Bertha
Galland into kitty Bellafrs."
Mrs. Fiske intends to appear as Rec
becca West in 1bsen's "Rosmersholm,"

Hughes and possibly to revive Tess"
Liebler & Co. will continue Bellew In
"Raf7ies" with London in view for him
year hence, and Eleanor Robson In
Merely Mary Ann" with new play
for her about Christmas time. Mrs.
Wigs" is also to continue, but Tar
kingdoms play is definitely shelved.
Faversham will try 1.-THE Squaw Man"
for them, and Arnold Daily John Bulls
Other Island" and Mrs. Warren's Pro-
fession,' both by Shaw. A special cast
will act Gaines "Prodigal Son." No
play has yet been chosen for Clara
Bloodgood. 1t Is almost safe to say,
too, that the Lieblers will bring some
eminent player from the continent.
C. B. Dillingham; will have new op.
eretta for Lulu Chaser and a revival OF
die Fledermaus" for FRITZ Scheff,
while Daniels will continue in Ser
geant Brue." Maxine Elliott will act

Heink In Loves Lottery" with proba-
bly, new piece to follow. Alice Fisch-
er goes on with 1.-THE School For Hus-
bands" and "Pin. Paff, Pouf," will keep
the road
The plans OF the shuberts are nec-
essarily unsettled until Lee Shubert re-
covers from the death of his brother,
Sam S. Shubert and the future course
of the firm is decided.

shut out his opponents. MatheWson
pitched in forty eight games, the next
highest number. The Iron Man" won
thirty five games, losing but eight.
Two of his games We're ties, and in six
he was sent in the box in the last in
nings to take the place of the original
twirler. This year McGinnity is re-
peating his l1eady effective work. His
delivery is uniformly the speediest in
the major leagues. He fields his posi-
ton in excellent fashion. His batting
is not as good as Mathewson's nor as
Chesbro's.
