THREE-RouND FIGHT is
WEEKS FEATURE AT GRAND

Manager Baker received a genuine ova-
tion when he threw off the managerial
coat and jumred into the ring to referee
the Dalton Webster game yesterday af-
ternoon at the Grand. Those who have
seen Jim Jeffries in action as referee
say that the champ had better look TO
his laurels. When Manager Baker snout-
ed Break and walked between the two
fighters he was the genuine aiIaita KING

duced at the Thalia theater in New York
on September 9 of this year. There It

BURBANK PLAYERS REVIVE
PROFESSORS LOVE STORY"

J. M Barries delightful comedy Of
sentiment, 1.-THE Professors Love Story
was presented at the Burbank yester-
day afternoon with A. Byron Beaeley In
the role created by e. S. Willard, and
Miss Blanche Hall in the part first played
In this country by Marie Borroughs. 1t
has been many years since the drama
has been seen here, but the revival proved
that 1t has lost none of its charm.
The Play tells the story of man who
had missed his youth through devotion
to science. For years love had passed
him by and when, at last, he fell In love
with young girl, then employed as his
secretary he himself didn't realize what
had happened The play shows his
absent mindedness, his ignorance Of wo-
men, his final awakening and his con-
quest.
In the first act he says: Love is
merely woman's device for wasting
time" In the last he realizes that love
is the greatest thing In the world, as
Sir Henry Drummond has phrased 1T.
The theme is handled with deftness of
touch and delicacy that makes the pre-
sentation of the play a distinct joy.
though yesterdays audience did not al
ways give the piece that appreciation
which 1t deserves.
A Barrie Eplgram
There are many good lines in this Bar
rie work, among them a speech put into
the mouth of DR.. Cosens, which never
fails of applause. when woman
loves u.s." he says I'VE shouldn't ask
why. We can be sure that she sees
something in us that isn't there"
The work of Mr.. Beasley as the pro-
lessor needs shading. 1t lacks fineness.
In other words the pecuiiarities of the
character are overdone. This is espe-
cially true in the first act, where the
man of science is made to appear fool.
Later, however, Mr. Beasley redeems
himself and in the third act, when he is
refused by the girl whom he would
marry, he plays with convincing natural
ness.
Miss Hall as the secretary has had no
role better suited to her methods this
season and 1t follows naturally that she
Is altogether charming in the part. John
w. Burton too, gives us an admorable
Characterization of the old doctor and
excellent character bits are contributed
by H. ]. CHM and Henry Stockbridge.
Miss Maude Gilbert is cast as the
dowager Lady Gliding and is quite as
pretty as usual. Perhaps 1t Is unfair to
expect Miss Gilbert to waste much time
on makeup At any rate her dowager
this week is the most charmingly ingen-
ious and silly young thing imaginable.
Miss Louise Royce handled very veil
a role that the audience failed to appre-
ciate at its true value, and both Harry
MESSENGER and Elsie Esmond, as usual
were effective in the parts allotted them

 New Orleans against Shreveport and Memphis against Little Rock played ex- cellent games yesterday, both resulting In scores of 1 to O. In the first Fritz gave Shreveport but three hits but had exceeding difficulty in besting Red Tom F'lshar. In the other, Cristall and Hart fought out a magnificent pitchers battle, each allowing his opponent but three singles.
 In excusing Billy Smiths two defeats of yesterday, one might refer to the ab7t senue of "Rube" Teller. The wizard Is out of the game. suffering from boil under his pitching wing. Had he been in shape, he might have saved the day as far as the second game is con cerned. However, he would have been compelled to go at a merry clip. to have gained the advantage over young Weems, who held the Crackers to three binglets.

MOTORCYCLE RACES

At a meeting of the Birmingham Motor Cycle club, held last night, the Birming- ham Motorcycle club started arrange ments looking towards the motorcycle and automobile races Labor Day, at the state fair grounds. The boys made sucn a nice showing on July 1. and the public seemed to be so interested in the races that the club decided to give another race on the above date.
 There will be several automobile races and several motorcycle races and all who saw the races July 1 win testify to the excitement and interest the same pro- duced.

In referring to this game one must not overlook the fact that Paskert got in the bcx. He has starred as an outfielder, and a swatter, but no one dreamed that he would do Hairly well as a pitcher, in addition. But he did, just the same.
 If Del mont wins the hat offered by Bill Ak, the Barons will have to do as well as split the doubleheader this aft e:noon. It Is believed that Demont will win. If no doubleheader is played, then he has already made good.

On Saturday afternoon. July 13, the East Lake and Easonville baseball teams will play double-header on the Howard college grounds at East Lake to decide championships of the two teams, and the first game will be called at D. m.

They have won twenty games out of twenty two played this season and are confident of taking both games Saturday. Admis- sion is free and everybody invited.

of other teams began to draw pay on that date. The claim of Player Hub Perdue for salary from the Nashville club covering the time difference between the National and Southern league seasons was disal- lowed. Perdue had failed to make good with the Chicago Nationals and according to agreement was then disposed of by that club to Nashville, who agreed to pay him at the monthly rate of his Chicago contract. In the absence of any agree ment to that effect it is said that he can- not collect for the time that he was 70 play.
