TWoHundred Youngsters
Guests IN Peanut
Last Night.
HAPPY BUT SKEPTICAL
VociferOuSly Applaud Maggie
Cline'S MCCluSkey and
Daisy Dancers.

most critical assemblage Of small
boys witnessed last night the all-star
vaudeville performance at the Belasco
Theater. They were the Washington
Times neWsbOys, more than IJO IN
number and they crowded the peanut
gallery and taxed the vibrating powers
OF the walls OF the house with their
applause and shouts of approval.
Needless 10 say, the thing they liked
the best was the sharpshooting OF the
Chevaller De Lorls. And this was em-
inently appropriate. as they were there
as the guests OF the chevalier and the
theater jointly. They gazed, wIde-eycd
and breathless. at the cheyalier as he
shot the clothes from his wife. and they
leaned far forward In their seats when
he hit an egg swinging in the air.
Maggie Cline got a good share of their
applause with her "AlcCluskey" song,
for the newsboy loves "a scrap. and the
sound OF the general destruction that
goes on behind the scenes while Miss
Cline sings the song VISA as the sound
OF ripping waters 10 the man who is
dying OF thirst.
Skeptical About Chevalier.

harmony of enjoyment was threatened
seriously. one such time came while
the chevalier was shooting out candles
with incredible rapidity. One small
boy was busily reading his cravat. and

The games last night were cIosa ora -,

started off rather poorly. They seemed to

in the first game. After the first couple of
boxes they pulled themselves together and
by steady bowling they won out by a
small margin The last game, being the
rubber and the one to decide the champion
ship, was the most closely contested and
interesting of all. In one box one team
would be in the lead and in the next box
the other would go to the front. That kept
UP for some time until the fifth box, when
the Brewers struck their stride and made
a ten, two spares. a strike and a nine. That

WHlTES0X WILL
RETAIN VlNSON

ST LOUIS, April 27.-Ernest Vinson will
not be lost to the Chicago White Stockings
The national commission, which has been
considering the question of his eligibility TO
play in organized base ball will hand down
a decision to this effect within a few days
This statement has been made on unini-
peachabIe authority.
While Vinson will not be disqualified by
the decision of the supreme court of base
ball 1t is expected that heavy fine will be
imposed upon him. Whether 1t VIII be
charged against the player or one of the
two Interested clubs has not been disclosed
The Chicago club cannot be held responsible
in any way, it is believed, as the president
of the White Stockings had no dealings
with Vinson until notified by the secretary
of the commission that the status OF the
player in question was clear
At the time Comiskey wrote to John +.
Bruce. secretary of the commission, asking
how Wilson's record stood and whether
there was anything against that player, the
protest had been filed against Ffnson,
though Secretary Bruce did not know at
that time OF it. Chairman Hermann had
the papers relating to the case. but had not
turned them over to the secretary, as he
usually does For that reason Bruce an
swered Comiskey's query with the state
ment that so far the records OF the
commission were concerned. Vinson was
eligible in every sense of the word.

sion to play Vinson as it was not prepared
to render decision in the case Chairman
Hermann and President Pulliam were
ranged on one side, demanding that the
player be forever disqualified from organ

burg team of the Tri-State League last fall.
after being suspended by Cleveland for fall
ure to keep in condition.
President Johnson opposed this radical
view of the case, and 1t Is through his able
handling of it that this player has bee1
saved to the South Side team.
Under these conditions ii is probable that
the fine will be levied against either the
player or the Cleveland club. more probably
the former. although the latter is also held
somewhat at fault In failing to notify the
proper authorities of the suspension of Vim
son and for neglecting to file charges
against him when, still belonging to that
team, he Joined the outlaw club and played
with It, and, also. for calling to another
club a player known by that club to be
Ineligible.

BEAUMONT I'M THE
HANDS OF A SPECIALIST

PITTSBrRG. April 27.-The Pittsburg
team returned from Chicago yesterday
morning. well pleased with getting two of
the three games from their bitter rivals.
The Pirates think that an injustice was
done Johnny Evers in the Geographic ac-
counts of Wednesdays lengthy battle in
holding him responsible for the victory of
the smoky city team. They point TO the
tabulated score. which shows that the
scrappy second baseman had no less than
twelve chances. Some of the chances WEIR
extremely difficult. If II had not been for
Evers' sensational fielding early in the
game we would have won in less than eleven
innings said one OF the Pirates
The Pirates admit that Jack Pfeister
pitched great ball against them. and did
not show any sign of his old fault-laclk of
control
Clarence Beaumont did not come east with
