COLTS WIN FROM THE PROUD BARONS BartIey Pitched in Mid-SeaSon
 form CLARK HAD BAD INNING Raean Yields a Single Scratch Hit. AIcock and Mitze Do Clever Work. The Barons Are Round
 ing To-"

The Barons were beaten yesterday aft ernoon in the second and last game with the Colts of the Philadelphia Athletics. The score was 3 to l.
 The game was neatly played, there occurring several very brilliant pieces of worK. The pitchers on both sides were effective as a whole, although Clark in one inning was hit exceedingly hard, the result of hich was the loss of the game Ragan was exceedingly effective he having gone through the last four innings with but single scratch.
 Bartley pitched the entire game for the visitors. The old Southern leaguer was in mid-season form, and allowed the Barons but three hits. Last season he had hard luck with his wing, but hopes to appear regularly on the firing line this year.
 The single score. of the Barons was made ir the third inning. Walters, first up was passed. Clark cleverly sacrificed him to second. Molesworth then hit safe to right, and Cunningham letting the sphere ease through his legs, Walters hi no difficulty in reaching the home piate Molesworth drew breath on third.
 Squeeze" Miscarries.
 The Barons again failed to successfully work the squeeze" With but one down and Smith at the bat, Molesworth being on third the chance presented itself. Something went wrong, however, for Smith did not even swing at the ball. Molesworth, having got fine start could not check himself, and Catcher Berry nabbed him near the plate. It is not known whethcr Smith missed the slgnal or whether Bartley knowing that the play was contemplated, threw the ball so close to the lanky outfielder that Il was impossible to hit it.
 The Colts scored both their runs in the second inning. Shean, first up, doubled to left and was sacrificed by Foster. From second he scored on Berrys safe hi. to left center. Cunningham hit safe' ar Berry went to third, to score later ol. Hoffman's single. This was Clark ons bad inning. He yielded bunch Of four safe swats.

POLES NEW THEATER.

"The Mascot" laughter-provoking opera, was presented last night at Polls by the Poli Opera company be- fore well filled house. Comedy seem ed to appeal strongly to the theater- goers, who enjoyed the cool breezes of the PoH cooled air process.
 As comedy played the leading part In the opera conlique, credit must be given to James McElhern, as Lorenzo XVII, prince of Piombino, and James A. Donnelly, as Rocco, the farmer. McElhern has the livelier side of the comedy provided, while Donnelly makes an ideal and conservative old farmer.
 The entire dialogue is lively and Me Elhern and Donnelly make the most of it. Their effervescent comedy seem ed to be imbibed by the audience, and the many sallies were taken in good style
 The music of The Mascot" is de- cidedly tuneful and catchy and the costuming and scenic effects were, as usual up to date.
 Miss Bertha Davis made an ideal Bettina, while Florence Rother was a pleasing and pretty Princess Flamet- ta. Horace Wright, a newcomer, was Frederic the Prince and was decidedly feminine, as the part demands, J. J. Castellans made stately Pippo, shepherd in love with Rettina. Edwin W. Lewis, Ernest Fisher and Dive and Lillian Woodbury were excellent pages.
 The opera is laid in three acts and is considered one of the best written by Audran. It seemed to please last evenings audience immensely, and should draw big houses this week. The opera will be repeated afternoon and evening for the remainder of the week.
