"My Wife's Family" is the at
traction booked for the Spokane
Sunday and Monday nights. There
have been and still are, many pro-
auctions which cause occasional
outbursts of laughter Or applause,
but there are very few which keep
an audience in good humor from
the rise until the final drop of the
asbestos curtain. This, however,
is the record of Stephen and Lin
tons "My Wife's Family" a merry
musical mizup, founded on the ia
miliar theme of the numerous re-
latives who will visit, but with var
iations worked into the plot which
are original and deliciously mirth
provoking But the secret of sue
cess in a farce comedy is variety,
and in "My Wife's Family" this
quality is accentuated not by varied
situations alone, but by the intro
duction of a number of bright and
breezy singing and dancing special
ties, not to mention a comedy auto
mobile and hundred and one other
accessories. The company is cap
able throughout and includes APP
pleton and Perry, Chas. Mitchell,
VIM. Hearty, Jas. Parke, Arthur B.
Nice, Helen MCGOWAN, Ruby Ray

thorne, Lorraine Keene, Marie Del

Young Corbett and Dick Hyland

BY Jas. J. Corbett.

Prize fighters never amount to
much on the base ball diamond, but
they have proven wonderful cards
at times and probably hold the
records for the highest salary ever
paid for a single appearance on the
diamond.
Personally | like baseball better
than any other sport that l have
ever seen and next to fighting have
given more time to it. | figured
in one big game. And luck was
with me.
During the palmy days of base
ball in Milwaukee | happened
through the city of hops, and be-
cause Of my great friendship for the
boys and the management of the
Brewery team, consented to don a
suit and play part of real cham
pionship game.
will never forget that afternoon.
In all the days of my ring career |
never did anything that caused me
so much pleasure. | came to the
bat in the ninth inning and after
the Brewers opponents had all but
finished the game victorious | hit
out safe drive that turned the
tables. The players afterward said
that 1t was one Of the remarkable
things that happened during the
championship season. The Milwau
kee fans still insist that If | had
turned my attention to base ball
instead Of fighting | would have
had more Of the worlds goods.
But 1t was John L. Sullivan that
made o record on the diamond that
still stands. Sullivan received the
largest sum ever paid an individual
for one Fame.
II. was In the early sos that Mr..
Sullivan established his ligh salary
mark. He was engaged to pitch
part OF Il game for the Old St. Louis
Browns. At first he was offered
$1,000 guarantee for single appear
ance, but he refused and insisted
on percentage.
Sullivan worked four innings and
received as his share Of the gate
receipts nearly $4,000.

Jim Jeffries also holds some
thing of record for an appear
ance on the diamond.
Jeffries was secured to umpire a
game in st. Paul, Mimi, several
years ago. jeff hadn't much ex-
perience on the diamond and when
he arrived n St Paul informed
the management of the two teams
that were to play that his work
would have to be limited to de-
cisions on the bases.
JEFF waited to so to the grounds
until almost time for play to be-
gin. He appeared on the field
dressed much the same as the reg
ular indicator man and at once es-
tablished himself behind first base
where he remained throughout
the greater part of the game.
1t is claimed that JEFF never
spoke a dozen words during the
| entire contest and the only way
, the fans in the stand knew what
he had decided was from the &C.
ton Of the players.
For standing one hour and 81
minutes Jeffries received $1,000.
This probably was the largest
sum of easy money ever paid an
umpire for working a single turn.
After that game was over JEFF
fries had a carriage driven on the
grounds and he jumped in and
was driven Off the field before the
fans realized what had happened.
Terry McGovern is one of the
best base ball players that ever
gained prominence in the ring. To
this day Terry would sooner play
a game Of ball than win title as
far as the real pleasure goes.
Big fighters as a rule are not
base ball players, although 1t Is
generally admitted that In the dia,
mond game they have. generally
speaking, been more successful
than in foot ball
