Signing With Outlaws.

According to the belief in Southern
League baseball circles money will be
spent with a lavish hand in the Penn
sylvania baseball fields this year. This
opinion is based on the amount Of
money being offered southern players
to sigh contracts in the outlaw league.
Contracts which the BAH players
describe as luscious looking are offered.
and several Southern States stars
have accepted.
Charlie Shields. a Memphis man. who
played with Seattle in the Pacific Coast
League last year. has agreed to the
terms offered from Altoona. Bill Can
non, Who has played left field with the
Memphis team for two years, helping
to land the pcnnant in 1904, has also
Signed with Altoona. Jack Law will

1t is an open question whether or
not the widely heralded list of boxing
events which nave been announced by
the management of the Tuxedo Club,
at North ESsington, near Philadelphia,
will be pulled off according to the pro-
gram arranged. There is a question
as to the legality Of the matches and
it is PROBABLE that the police will take
decisive action in the matter as soon
as the attempt is made to give the
matches. When the club first gave
out notice of its iuteEtiOn to pull off
some bouts the district attorney
promptly stated that any attempt to do
so would be promptly checked. The
members of the club at that time were

lo gal authorities. but now they have
changed their minds and are anxious

boxing matches.

"RIGOLETTO" At HAMMERSTEIN'
Renaud Sings Tit e Role for First Time
Here-Big Audience.

Verdi's "Rigoletto" was given last night
at the second performance of the Manhattan
Opera House, which opened on Monday
night. The house was comfortably filled
and many stood behind the rail, but there
was not so great a crowd there as on the
opening night. Several Of the boxes were
u%ntenanted and there were vacant seats
here and there on the main floor.
Nevertheless, il was a large audience and
an appreciative one. All the principals
we're cordially received and responded to
many recalls at the end of each act.
The chief interest of the evening centred
in the appearance Of NJ. Renaud, who sang
the title role for the first time in this country.
The singer has a high reputation as a barry
tone abroad, which is based in a marked
degree Upon his Interpretation Of Rigoleto.
He is a big man physically and has a voice OF
great power. The audience seemed to take
TO his singing NJ once He appeared TO be
a trifc nervous, but made a good impression
from the start.
At the end of the second act il was an
nounced that NJ. Renaud had been seized
with aSsudden hoarseness, but that with
the indulgence of the audience he would
continue as best he could with the opera.
NJ. Renaud was heartily applauded when
ne appeared lot the great scene IN the
third act, and if he was hoarse there was
little in the manner he sang to indicate
il. His acting as well as his singing was
of a high order Of merit. He and Mile.
Pinkert, who was the GiLdd of the evening,
responded TO a half dozen or more curtain
calls after the third act. NJ. Renaud
seemed, on the whole, to make a very ia
workable impression.
NJ. Bonci was the Duke and his admirers
were out in great force, especially his own
countrymen, who stood behind the rail
and greeted him in the usual italian ashton.
Judging by his reception at the two per-
formances in which he has appeared here,
there is little doubt that he will continue
TO be a great favorite with Manhattan
Opera House audiences.
Among the other principals in the opera
were Nile. Severina, GiovdnnG; Mile. FAC
caria, Countess III Ceprdpo; Mile. Gia-
coma, MdddGlend: NJ. Arimondi, SpdrG-
fuciLe: NJ. Fossetta, NduiHo, and M. Res
chiglian, Count III Ceprdno.
The quartette in the last act got its usual
share OF applause.
The police regulations for handling the
crowd as il arrived at the opera house were
carried out without a hitch. A large con-
course of men and women watched from
the other side Of the street the operagoers
IA they arrived.
