''Gallops."

Charles Richman in David Gray''
"Gallops."
"GaIops,' a comedy in which there
is just enough Of the serious side TO
make the necessary contrasts, was pre-
sented last night at the New National
Theatcr by the Garrlck Theater Com
Pany. with Charles Richman in the lead
ing part The play was admirably acted
by an evenly balanced company
David Gray has woven his series OF
short stories. entitled --GaIlops" into q
fOur-act play, and while ne has intro
duced villain in the shape of Randy
Gordon. who takes chances at which
even steeplechaser might be expected
10 balk. nevertheless the author has
retained a number OF the most amusing
incidents which occur IN his really
clever stories.
Jack Herinway, played admirably by
Richman. is man who once had
bad spill and has distrusted horses ever
since. is introduced 10 a hunting com
munity OF Long Island by the alto
gether charming Mrs Innis as a dare
devil hOrseman- It is her conception OF
a joke. As luck viii have q he sus-
taifs this reputation by riding the uEli-
est horse IN the place over an unheard
of jump.
There is nothing Elaring about the
play The lines are bright. the situa-
lions amusing. but there is a pleasing
lack o. hoTse-play and the really sen
sational incidents are toned down 10
meet the requirements Of a society that
detcSts scenes
Frances Starr does her part well as
Nell ColfaN. and her decidedly wOmanly
tC seeing the race in which
the man she loves has part IS a very
natural touch.
Grace Flkins as Mrs. Innis is clever.
ard X is rot a matter for surprise that
she has her own way with the men.
The performance tonight Is for the
benefit Of the Children's Hospital. under |

Great Britain has Il new sort of
revenue problem on its hands. bpt
not the sort that the United States
has been worried about for years.
1he British budget shows a surplus:
revenues have been greater than es-
tlmated, and expenditures have been
less. 1t is proposed by the govern
ment at once to reduce some of the
taxes and give the people the benefit
OF the improved condition. There's
nothing sacred about ;axes in Eng
land; they actually reduce them
when by so doing they can promote
the welfare OF the community. and
when conditions warrant.

Buffalo Team Is Evidently
Out for the Pennant and It
Finds the Skeoters Fly too
Close
NEWARK AND TORONTO TIE
ORIOLES BEAT THE BRoNCos
AND PROVIDENCE sUCCUNIBED
TO MoNTREAL-THE CLUBS
STANDING

The winning streak of the Skeeters
was broken yesterday by the Bisons, who
think that the pesky critters are getting
too close. Buffalo is evidently out this
season to win the pennant again. So
themselves up against a hard proposition
when they faced Brockett, who was on
the slab for Buffalo. They got seven
hits off him, but Brockett cut the hitting
game out when hits would have meant
runs. Itwas sort ola Greek alpha betscore
that the home team made with all the
letters cut out from Alpha to Omega,
and cyphers substituted. In other words,
they scored a run in each of the first and
last innings. Meanwhile the Beasts
had piled up seven runs. They landed
on Moran from the start and kept it up,
winding up with batting bee in the
eighth inning in which they banged the
Jersey City slab artist for two singles
and a brace of homers.
In the first inning Moren proffered
Badel pass. He was sacrificed to Sec
ond. He reached third on a wild pitch.
and sprinted home on Nfurray's hit. In
the Skeeters's half they tied the score.
Clement lined out hit Bean attempt
ed to sacrifice but Mcconnell missed
Brockett's throw and Clement made the
circuit In the third Brockett hit to Cas-
sidy and Moren ran to cover the base.
but muffed the throw Clement got home
on Murray's and McConnelfs singles.
The Bisons scored again in the seventh.
ON scratch hits by Smith and Woods.
by Brockett, on which Keister attempted
a double play, but threw wild to Cassidy.
In the eighth the Beasts broke loose. Muir
ray drove beauty to centre. Mcconnell
sacrificed him to second. Corcoran hit
long one to Clement, who nabbed it. It
was sensational catch. With two out
Smith slammed the ball to the flag pole
and made the circuit, sending Murray in
ahead of him. Mattress hit to bean and
beat the throw, which was wide and got
second, Wood lined one out into left.
The ball bounded away from Clement
and made its way to the fence and Wood
completed the circuit sending Mattress
home ahead of him.
The Jerseys second run made in the
ninth, was a result of landlords single
and Keister's double.
The score:-
