WIDEN THAT GAP.
Chicago White Sox Win Again
While New York is
Losing.
BAT VICTORY OFF OBERLIN
Former Three-Eye Lacquer, This Sea-
son With Milwaukee, Proves
Formidable.

Chicago. Sept. 27.-Comiskeys men
doubled the little distance between
themselves and New York in the
American league pennant race yester-
day when they made it three straight
from Boston. winning a pitchers con-
test, , to 0, while Detroit's Tigers were
clawing their third straight victory
out of Griffiths hide by exactly the
same count
A Mr. Oberlin, who has helped make
Milwaukee famous. did his best TO put
crimp in the fighting SoX. and for a
time it looked as if he was it, although
he was matched against Eddie Walsh's
slippery elm delivery. This recruit
wasn't little bit scared of the White
Sox nor of Walsh. and came mighty
near outpitching him. Eddie struck
out eight of the visitors. while his
smaller opponent famed only five of
the SOx. but Oberlin had a shade the
better of it in the hitting.
Strong In Pinches.
Each pitcher issued tire passes. and
only in the pinches did Walsh outshine
Oberlin, for two of the latter's free
tickets were turned into SoX runs by
timely hits. while Walsh was a whole
stone wall when run was in sight.

Decatur Review: Billy Purtell left
today for his home in Columbus and
he does not expect TO return next year.
AT least he won't if he can help it,
He may go either TO Providence. To-
rOnto or Little Rock. Purtell express
ed the opinion that what was needed
in Decatur is almost an entirely new
team. Some of us have been here
TOO long" says Billy. 'and some of us
have been spoiled beyond repair by
the system of managing. Not man
on the team that can't play good ball
elswhere under other conditions, but
do not believe some of our team will
ever play their best ball in Decatur"
Billy gave as the chief reasons for dis
affection on the Commodore team bad
judgment in handling players, grudges
of several years standing between GER
tain players and more than anything
else. the constant dangling before their
eyes of offers of more money if they
could get away from Decatur, but he
admitted that proper disciplining
might have caused some players to
forget that they wanted TO go else
where. At least if they didn't forget it
they wouldn't show it in their work.

new play. THE Law and the Man.
which is founded on Victor Hugo's ia
nous novel. Les Miserables." This
will be Mr.. Lackaye's Chicago debut in
the dual role of dramatist and star. In
adapting Hugo's classic for the stage,
Mr. Lackaye has done his work with
reverence, intelligence and skill. and
has followed very closely the msfor
tunes of Jean Vatican. A st. Louis
critic has pronounced The Law and
the Man" a smashing melodrama of
the highest type. and Mr.. Lackaye's
characterization of the unfortunate ex
galley slave is far and away the best
piece of work he has yet given us.
Those who have seen Mr.. Lackaye as
Jean Vatican will readily admit that
ne is the greatest character actor on
the American stage today"
In securing the supporting company,
William A. Brady has been fortunate.
Melbourne Mcdowell is the Javert
and plays the bulldog policeman in an
artistic manner. When last seen in
Chicago Mr.. Mcdowell was starring
in the Sardou dramas. Miss Jeffreys
Lewis has a most congenial role in that
of Madame Thenardier and has an ex-
lellent foil in George W. Denham. who
will be recalled as having played David
in THE Rivals" with the late Joseph
Jefferson. William Lamp, whose sue
cess as the young lover in Mrs. Tenn
pies Telegram" is too recent for COM
ment. will be seen as Marius, and Jo-
sephine Sherwood makes a fascinating
and engaging Cosette. The play is in
prologue and four acts, showing 10

been fitted with the most congenial role
he has played for years. AS Helmar. n
young German violinist of genius, he
runs the entire gamut of feeling. There
are sparkling passages of wit, in which
his rich comedy gifts are given every
scope; there are tender love passages
where the romantic ardor of his acting
is seen to the best advantage. and there
are dramatic climaXes where the full
plentitude of his powers reaches the
apex of acting.
