CARRIE IN TEE SPRING CHICKEN

Entertainment.
"ThO Spring Chicken the new musical
play In which Richard Carrie presented
himself at Daly'S Theatre last night, sue
decided In Q mild way simply because IL Is
divertlng and amusing. There Ia no novel
story TO IL nor any music that will be re-
membered five years from now; nor is the
star who adapted the piece to the American
stage a comedian who will take a place in
the first rank; but from start to fnish the
play is never dull.
The laughs are plenty. the music Is tune
full and has the popular swing to IL that made
the audience sing and whistle some of it in
the lobby after tho final curtain and the
company which supports the western ome
dian makes the most Of every bright line and
situation.
1t is q conglomerate sort Of offering,

programme il was adapted from the Frenon
by an EnglishmAn and two more English
man wrote the music. Then Carrie got hold
Of II, did some more adapting, introduced a
Few songs from the local foundries and
put 1t on. The result is that IL starts out
with a story which is lost in the shuttle be-
fore the first act is well under wa and then
just drifts along in an entertaining sort of
way until It IL II O'Clock and time to 60

What plot there Is and most Of the situa-
tons hinge upon the old theme which al

without their wives and get caught as often
as occasion requires. In che development
OF this theme Mr.. earle has injected q con-
siderable mo of white light broadness
that seemed a bit out Of place in the play
house which DAILY ran for so many years.
The comedian was mildly amusing
throughout, but the songs and the dances
that went with them will carry the play to
whatever success it attains. There are
several of them which are sure to be sung
around town, although the title OF one Of
them. "A Lemon in the Garden Of Love-"
indicates the lofty theme upon which the
lyrics are constructed.
Mr. earle sang about the lemon and
also Q ditty to the effect that IAN the Girls

BASE BALL NOTES.

If Barney" Dreyfuss could but secure
Pitcher Smith from the Comiskey forces his
cup of happiness would be filled to the
brim, and he would just sit back and the
rest would take care of itself.
The fact that Jim" Sebring Is signing
players for the Williamsport Tristate
League, or the "outlaw league" as 1t Is
generally known, is taken to indicate that
he will not play with the Chicago Nationals
next spring. Time will tell.
Toledo is said to have tossed an insinua-
ton toward Manager McGraw to the erect
that Bill Clarke would be welcome there II
New York turns him down. AS yet NOISY
Bits sentence for next season has not
been fixed.
President Dreyfuss says a man who
makes errors is a man who goes after any
thing, and says he likes to have men who
have them chalked up against them. Rec
ord players seldom win a penant. and sell
dom do any good for their team. The boys
who take the chances are the ones who
win the game.
Tim Hurst is telling his friends just now
that he may retire from umpiring, following
the example of Jack Sheridan. But when
the gong rings for the first championship
games in April Hurst and Sheridan will
probably be members Of the American
League staff once more, as neither's serv-
ices can be dispensed with in these days
of strenuous base ball.
The fact that Jake" Wells, formerly
first baseman of Detroit and now one of
the most successful theatrical people in
the south, was induced to take up with his
former love by accepting the presidency of
the Virginia State League goes far to fore
cast most successful season for that as
ISOLATION that has seen many ups and
downs Mr.. Wells is also president of the
Richmond club. Win Clark, with Concord.
Manchester and Lawrence in the New Eng
land League in recent seasons, will manage
in Norfolk, and is receiving applications for
positions in that city.
Charlie Carr the Reds new first base
man, makes the announcement that he ex-
poets to retire from base ball after the
season of 1905. Carr has been approached
by Arthur Irwin to jump to the Altoona
team of the outlaws. The offer was de-
clined, Carr is DESTROYS of ending his
career in base ball in an honorable man
ner.
The two ball clubs representing New
York in the major leagues are believed to
carry the highest salaried teams in the
profession. The New York Nationals 1t is
said, received last year more than $50, 600
In salary, while the New York Americans
pay roll footed up about $4,000 But the
Nationals salary list included $4,000 drawn
by Manager McGraw. No attempt has been
made by either club to reduce these figures
this year. but the other clubs, notably the
Boston Americans, have-asked their play
ers to accept pronounced cuts.

SPEED IN TRAINING
WINS CANS FRIENDS

SAN FRANCISCO. January 1s.-Every-
body who watched Joe Cans, the Oriole
darkey, train for the fight with Mike Twin
Sullivan tomorrow night is convinced that
the Boston Irishman will have hard task
to obtain the winners share of the purse
Cans speed and hitting power have won
him many friends. Instead OF being on
the decline, he looks as good as at any
time in his career. He wears out several
sparring partners every day with his fierce
rushes.
He has ordered his men to thump him at
will. but up to date he has been shifty
enough to avoid punishment. In the bet
ting today Cans is the choice at 10 to g.
In Sullivan Cans will find an opponent
who is almost as clever as he Is and who
has a handy left jab. Sullivan showed
his worth in his contest with Jimmy Gard
ner, and. Notwithstanding that Cans Is
supported more substantially in the pool
rooms, Mike is expected by many to go the
distance with the colored man.
1t Is not thought there will be much
difference in weight between the two. Last
September these same boxers went fifteen
rounds to a draw at Baltimore and on this
occasion the articles called for both to
weigh in at 1876 pounds at o'clock, and at
that hour both were not only at weight, but
had a little to spare.
The articles call for the men to weigh l42
pounds at o'clock Friday afternoon.

JOHNSON AND PULLIAM
CONFERRING OVER SCHEDULE

NEW YORK, January 1S.-Ban Johnson
president of the American League, arrived
III town yesterday, and today will have a
conference with President Pulliam of the
national League regarding the PLAYING
oates or next season. AS matters now
stand the National and American leagues
VIII begin their championships five days
apart, the Nationals on April - and the
Americans on April II. This would seem
as If there would be many conflicting dates
between the two leagues, and it is to avoid
such contingency that President Johnson
mas come 70 New York to go over the
schedules with the National League leader.
Even II the two leagues should open their
season on the dates already arranged and
there does not seem any likelihood at pres
ent for a change. IL is quite likely that the
two presidents, who are empowered to com
pile the schedules and submit them for
adoption at a meeting here next month
VIII try to avoid as many clashes as pos
sible.
So far as the Greater New York Club Is
concerned President Johnson says that the
| Philadelphia Athletics, the champions of
| the American League. would probably open
| the season with Griffith's team at American
League Park on April II. Two days later
| the local team will go to Boston, and in
! commemoration of Lexington day will play
| two games with the eX-champions. The
! Washingtons will be here on Decoration
| day, and on July the Greater New Yorks
| will play the Athletics in Philadelphia. On
Labor day September g. the champions will
| play the local team at American Lea que
Park.
| President Johnson also announced that
| Jimmy" Collins had signed a contract to
| manage: the Boston team again. The very
serious differences between President Tay-
| lor and the manager led many persons to
! believe that the rupture could not be heal
| ed but the signing of Collins evidently
| means that all trouble in the club has been
| eradiCated

VICTORY FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
All Of His Candidates Elected to Par
lament From Birmingham.

Birmingham. England. yesterday remain
ed true to Joseph Chamberlain. electing all
of his candidates In the seven divisions, and,
except in the case of Sir John Stone by
majorities Of from 5000 to 5000. Sir John
Stones defeat in the east division was ex-
pected by the uniopists themselves, ana
hence his retention of the seat by a ma
jority of only few hundred is regarded as
satisfactory.
The liberals had been enthusiastically ex-
pecting that the results throughout the
country would affect Birmingham, but even
the liberal sweep was not able to overcome
Mr. Chamberlain's great personal popular
ity
Immense crowds stood for hours In City
Hall Square awaiting the results. When
the figures were presented there was ire
mendous cheering. particularly when II
was announced that Sir John Stone had
been reelected. The enthusiasm indicated
the anxiety of Birmingham to send Mr..
Chamberlain back to parliament with
solid union contingent.
Mr. Chamberlain did not visit the city
hall last night, but received the returns
at his home. His majority was 5000.
