THE SPOKANE.

Nat G. Goodwin has made it his
policy, as far as Spokane is con-
cerned, to present during each OF
his annual visits one of his old
favorites in addition to a new play.
This year his opening piece will be
The Genius, a farcical comedy
written for him by w. c. and Cecil
de Mile, which he will present at
the Spokane theater Monday night.
In it he has scored an enthusiast
tic success everywhere. On Tues
day evening he will present when
We Were Twenty One in the
opinion of many people the best
play in Mr.. Goodwin's repertoire.
Both plays will be handsomely
mounted.
The Genius" is a comedy farce
in three acts. 1t tells a story of
artist life in New York, interwov-
en- with romance. The hero, Jack
Spencer, wealthy young business
man, thinks he is in love with a
Miss Van Dusen, a young woman
of social position and art aspira-
tons. She gives little encourage
ment to his devotion because he
lacks artistic temperament. By a
conspiracy he removes the impress
sion and becomes the artistic rage.

Gregg:
Joe Gregg, a real Indian boxer,
who is now in this city looking for
a match, is an interesting fellow.
He is a full blooded Navajo and
his father is the second chief of
the tribe at the reservation at New
Mexico. Gregg does not speak very
good English, but the way he de-
scribes the battles he has been
in Is interesting. When asked how
he happened to get into the game
he said: ME saw two pale face

drifted to California he went to

northwest. He looks like a heavy
weight. but will fight at 1876 pounds.

PLAY BALL
F. At MAN|TO

The baseball team that repre-
SCENTS the victorious plumbers will
play team composed of members
of the electrical workers union
tomorrow at Mantle park and will
try to continue their winning
streak. The reason ascribed for
the easy victory Of the plumbers
at Mantle park last Sunday was
that they did not work while the
building laborers were all stiffened
with hard manual labor.
The electrical workers will not
be able to offer as an excuse that
they have worked so hard recently
that their efficiency as ball players
has been impaired; the Washing.
ton Water Power company has
seen to it that the electricians have
mot been overworked during the
last few months.
Several members of local unions
are still playing ball at Natatorium
park in the City league. The fact
of these men playing at the unfair
pleasure resort of the Washington
Water Power company has been

the bill at the Washington theater

performance of THE Counsel for
the Defense" during the opening
week at the Washington.
Orpheum acts galore will be seen
during the coming week, and a
number Of them are said to be
worthy of the top place on the bill.
One of the chief attractions will be
that of Laura Howe and her Ores

unique and pretty to see. The
dolls" are four young ladies attir-
ed as Colonial bellies and beaux and
they sing, march, and dance the

beauty and has won high praise in
eastern cities on the circuit.

venture. His first excursion is
made during the absence of his
wife on one of the prevailing foggy
nights in London.
In the course of his travels he
meets with circus girl, who is
shivering from the cold and unable
to find her way. He CALAMITY ties
his handkerchief around her neck
and accompanies her to the Hip
pOdrome, where she is performing.
The plot begins to thicken en- the
following morning when the girl,
having discovered his identity from
marks on his handkerchief, arrives
at his home.
While she is conversing with
Hummingtop his motherin-law ar
rives on the scene Unexpectedly
and, puzzled to explain the pres
ence of the girl. Hummingtop ex-
plains that she is his niece, who is
expected from America. The real
niece appears shortly after, but
Hummingtop is forced to disown
her. One lie leads to another, and
the resulting complications are
amusing. So involved does the plot
become that the audience is confus-
ed, and the tangle is not straight
ened out until the fall Of the cur
tain on the final act.

TIGERS CHEWED
Up RUSH

1t was great baseball that was
played at Tacoma yesterday be-
tween the Tigers and the Indians.
Rush, the amateur, was in the box
for Spokane and the Tigers took
kindly to him-devoured him. Ed
die Hutchison played like a demon
and swatted Rush for three singles
out of four times up. Eddie is vim
dictive and makes an extra effort
when playing against the Indians,
from whose wigwams he was fired.
Ike Butler proved an enigma to the
Indians. who osuld only find him
for FIVE hits. The final score was
3 to 2 in favor of Tacoma.
