New York Damaged New Orleans By Refusing Finish Se res There Last sebrng Stays Black List and Bill Campbell's Decision Still Pends-Former Baron
 Pitcher On Perpetual Black List

Cincinnati, November 1.-The National Baseball commission held meeting here today and passed upon several important cases, while a number of other equally as important were either carried over or taken under advisement.
 The New Orleans club of the Southern league was given Judgment of 5000 against the New York National club for the violation of its contract to play out d series in New Orleans last spring. New York played two games there, but q dis pute arose and the aggreements were broken. The New Orleans club claimed it had been damaged. The commission de- cided the case in favor of New Orleans and fixed the damages at 5000, which the New York club is ordered to pay. The application of Player James B. Sebring for reinstatement was adversely decided.

Sebring was sold by the Cincinnati Na- tional league team to the Chicago Ma tional league club, but refused to join that club and jumped to the Tri-State league, which at that time was classed an outlaw.
 Player John Forester of the Little Rock club of the Southern league was awarded $65 due him from the Detroit American league club for services ren- dered. The much expected decision in the case of William Campbell did not ma terialize. The commission discussed the case and took it under advisement. A decision in favor of Campbell in this case will have to be carried to the National association, inasmuch as the latter at its recent meeting in New York placed Campbells name on the perpetual black list. President Joseph O'Bren of the American association presented the claims of the Louisville club in the Campbell case.

tain Wilkerson. Center Batson and Guard Locke were injured, and rendered unfit for heavy work. It is very probable. however. that these men will be able to appear in the Alabama-Auburn game.
 As concerns weight the teams are about evenly matched, those who saw the Ala bama- Sewanee and Auburn-S -Sewanee games, are led to believe Auburn claims that Alabama is the heavier by a few pounds. In the way of experience, Au- burn has a decided advantage. Of Ala bama's present lineup. but two are vet erans of last season, Burkes in the line and Quarterback Hannon. On the other hand. the majority of Auburn's team Is composed of veteran players. Both teams have been eXcellently coached. and both are tuil of enthusiasm and pluck.
 The tickets for the game have been placed on sale at Browns cigar store, the Florence tobacco store, Parker's Twentieth street store. The game will

 and it's development has been fast. It is generally admitted too, that Alabama is improving faster than Auburn is. For those reasons, it is very probable that Auburn will have the toughest proposi- ton of it's season.
 On account of the intense rivalry exist ing between the institutions. the teams will be out for blood. The men will fight as they have fought at no previous time this season. Both teams are working es- pecially for this game and it is q fact that each will have a bunch of plays not yet seen on this seasons gridiron.

NEW YORK THEATRICAL LETTER

"The Rose of the Rancho" in the Belas- co theatre, June 29 will mark the clos ing night of this great drama hit, and the beginning of Miss Starr's brief hol- idasJ Although capacity audiences con- tinue to fill the Belasco theatre at ev- cry performance, Its manager has decid- ed that his youngest star needs a rest, in spite of the fact that she has re- quested him to allow her to appear as Juanita throughout the entire summer.
 William Collier reached the 200th per- formance of his prosperous run in the Garrick theatre with Caught in the Rain" tonight.
 The end of June will see the end of the run of 'The Red Mill" in the Knicker- booker, despite the crush demand for seats that has continued uninterrupted ly since the premiere last Labor Day Charles Dillingham; wishes to give Mont gomery and Stone and the eighty odd other hard working "funsters of the company a months vacation before be- ginning the Chicago engagement of tho piece in August. an engagement already thrice postponed.
 The opening of the twenty-eighth sea- son. and the last in the present inclos- ure, of Pains fireworks at Manhattan beach, took place tonight It has been deer1ad best to close the old amphithsa- ire with a thoroughly patriotic produc- tion, consequently MT. Pain has evolved most dramatic picture, which he has called "Sheridan's Ride Cedar Creek)." It is full of American vigor and dash and will without doubt be intensely pop ular. After the presentation of "Sher- idan's Ride'' there will take place re- production of the fight between the Mer-  shl IS and real fighters.
 When "The Road to Yesterday" reaches it's s50th performance June 25 in the Lyric theatre, the pU will have had seven months of uninterrupted success.

NEW YORK, June 22.-(Special.)-
 M Four roof gardens. two opera companies. very few long run plays which have not yet closed, the vau- deville houses, and last but not least. the Beach resorts, constitute New York's midsummer amusement assets and the people seem to be getting along pretty well, thank you. while the mummers, who can afford it, take well earned season of rest.
 The closing of the engagement of E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe tonight at the Academy of Music was not because the people of New York were tired of seeing these sterling players, for even the hot weather had little or no effect on the crowds which gathered at every per formance in the big Fourteenth Street Auditorium, and the management was anxious for the engagement to be ex- tended. But MT. Sothern and Miss Mar lowe concluded that they had earned rest and were anxious to take 1t.
 I learn that this is not to be their final appearance together, though we stay-at- home Americans will not see them again on the same programme. After the close of the tour throughout the United States next year, when each star will cover diff ferent territories, they will again join hands and journey to England there to repeat their success with Shakespearean performances in the English capital. Their opening performance will be attended by His Majesty King Edward himself, who assured Lady Paget that both MT. Soth ern and Miss Marlowe must consider and therefore notify him early of the date of the return to London. During the fol- lowing season Miss Marlowe will In all probability remain in England all the year. MT. Sothern will return to the Unit ed States for part of the time. The rest of the time MT. Sothern will devote to Lon don, having effected an arrangement with George Alexander, the famous actor-man- ager of London and proprietor of the St. James theatre. whereby MT. Sothern and Mir. Alexander will exchange companies and theatres.
