Walter johnson yesterday did not prove
the puzzle for the Detroit Tigers dat he
has for the other clubs in the American
League. They started right In on him in
the first, and they pelted his curves from
that time on To the finish.
We must not overlook the fact that the
Nationals put up real scrappy game and
tried their utmost to put the Tigers to the
bad. They scored in the third and fourth
on tLrec singles and Il double. but that was
the best they could do. From that time on
Eddie Sieyer kept the hits scattered and
there was nothing doing from a local
standpoint.
one of the greatest crowds ever seen at
National Park was present. Close on ten
thousand persons pushed themselves
through the gate. The grand stand, the
hty-cent seats and the bIeachers were
jammed and at least 800 persons stood
behind the ropes extending from right field

by gentle prod which impelled him
to move forward. A command to re-

backward. This was repeated over and

with infinite care and patience, the re-
markable battle scene, which these
clever elephants present in the show
was evolved.
After several years spent in the
school the elephants get a fairly good
human vocabulary, and. like an intel
ligent house dog. there is scarcely any
thing that the trainer says to them
that they do not understand. The ele-
plant school always has some pupils
that learn quickly and others that are
slow to comprehend the trainers
meaning. The faculty of imitation is.
however. very strongly marked in all
of them and the dull elephants learned
a great deal from their more intelli-
gent companions. The trainer realizes
this and always begins his lessons with
the brightest elephants in the herd.
This is of invaluable assistance to the
duller ones who can of course, compre-
bend their companions more readily
than they can the trainers.

How do I train elephants?' said
George ConkIin. the star animal man
with the Barnum & Bailey circus
which appears in Richmond next Sat
urday, May II.
This is question that is often ask
&c me. There is only one adequate
answer. and that is contained in the
single woodwork The elephant
trainer constantly exemp1ifies the mot
10 OF the persistent advertiser. that
keeping everlastingly at it brings sue
cess"
Il may say incidentally. that there is
no part of the big shows performance
that requires SO much attention and
which involves such persistent appii-
cation as the trained animals. The
reason for this can be readily explain
ed. The acrobatic, aerial and riding
numbers are presented by expert per-
formers who are engaged for the pur
pose. In their case the management
is simply concerned to arrange them
on the program in such a way as to
make their acts most effective. The
performing animals, especially the elc-
plants and horseS-arc owned by the
show. and their acts are prepared by
trainers regularly attached to the or
ganization.
Elephants are in themselves great
study. The more | see of them the
more / am impressed by their intelli-
gence. While We have accomplished
some very remarkable things with
them. l am convinced that their train
ing is stifl in its infancy. To thor
oughiy understand an elephants char
acter the trainer must start with the
baby and keep in touch with it during
several years of physical growth and
mental development. | am now doing
this with herd of eight little Singa-
pore elephants recently imported by
the show management. These little ele-
plants were taken from the mothers
shortly after they were weaned. and
were considerably under three years of
age when they entered the Barnum x
Bailey elephant training school at
Bridgeport. Conn. They had never
been at liberty together, and when they
were turned loose in the ring barn
they were as playful as flock of
lambs. No attempt had ever been
made to teach them anything, and it
was necessary to begin their education

There are excellent reasons for be-
lieving that this will be as good if
not better week for business than
tae Desmond company has enjoyed
during its long run at the New Phil
lips in combined repertoire and vaude-
VILE For the first half of the week
the new sensational play, THE I'm
written Law, or THE Roof Garden
Tragedy has been provided and there
will be great interest in this as it is
based on the famous New York muir
der case which is yet to be disposed
of by the courts. The company tried
to get in readiness for this play the
past week but owing TO the scenery
being delayed it was not possible to
90 so and the first performance will
be on Monday afternoon. For the
last three days of the week the COM
pany will present A Desperate Wo-
man" and it is promised that it will
be fully in keeping with the many
other plays that have been presented.
New specialties have been secured in
Guiding Malta, the nymph OF the sea
and queen of the air, an act that calls

trated song and new motion pictures.
On Wednesday there will be Souve-
mir matinee, on Friday a reception to

day a special matinee for the child

Repertoire at the Gcnnett.
There will be no performance at
the Gennett on Monday afternoon as
it is not the rule of the North Broth
ers company to appear on that after
noon but on Monday night the COM
pany will open its four days engage
ment for this week with presenta-
ton of Saved From the Sea-. This
is one of the best pieces in the extern
sive repertoire of the company and
clever and pleasing performance is
assured. For the remainder of the en-
gagement the plays have not yet been
announced but it is certain they will
be the same high standard that have
been offered during the past week.
No company ever appearing at the
Gennett i'll repertoire has pleased as
greatly as the Norths as is evident
from the fact that they have enjoyed
three weeks of the most liberal pat
ronage and could apparently remain
indefinitely and play to big business.
For this week new specialties nave
been provided and patrons of the
house will get the best that the North
company has to offer. For the road
tour that the North company will soon
begin under its own pavilion, now
being built at Terre Haute, it has
engaged the Adams brothers, trick
skaters, well known to Richmond the
atre goers, as one of the specialties.

creation, it is nevertheless evident that
the thoughts of men and animals do
not run in the same groove. The es-
sential thing is to bring the human
and animal minds into sympathy,
when this is accomplished the rest is
simply matter of practice. When the
elephant understands what is expected
of him he will usually do it if it is
within the range of his physical pow
ers.
The elephant never exhibits any
emotion. When his turn comes, he is
there-and not before. And when he is
through he displays no evidence OF
satisfaction Once an elephant is train
ed he can be sent into the ring, and
will go through the performance with
out further urging. The moment
horse trainer turns his back, the horS-
es will begin to loaf, and it is neces-
sary to watch them closely in order to
get the best results. Elephants don't
care whether the trainer is in evidence
or not Once started. they will go
through the act without further urging.
The main purpose of the trainer in the
ring is to expedite the act. and keep
it from dragging. Another curious
thing in regard to elephants is the fact
that they cannot think of two things
at a time No matter how mean their
disposition may be, they will never in
jure a keeper during a performance.
Their meanness is exhibited during
their idle hours. In the ring they are
too intent on performing their part of
the work to have any thought for their
private grievances. The elephants
motto seems to be: Zone thing at a
time"
THE general method of training ele-
plants is the same with all trainers.
1t is best accomplished by system Of
rewards and by repeatedly suiting the
action to the word until the perform
ance becomes a habit with the animal
pupil But even after the lessons have
been thoroughly learned the elephants
must be kept in school. 1t is only by
constant, intelligent and persistent
practice that the elephant act can be
kept up to a high standard OF effici-
ency."
All of which will be illustrated when
the Barnum Il Bailey show exhibits in
Richmond next Saturday, May IL.
