THE DRUMMER's ERROR.
II Turned a Cry Into Laugh and
Spoiled the Scene.

SpoIeo the occ0c.
1t might have happened over on
Staten Island. Anyhow, it occurred
in Greater New York and at a stock
company house. The company put
on an uprosrious farce one week,
during the course of which the lead
ing lady made several burlesque
falls. In order to accentuate the
comedy of these the stage manager
directed the drummer in the or
thestra to give the bass drum re-
sounding whack every time the lead
ing lady fell to the stage. He fol-
lowed instructions faithfully at ey-
cry fall except one at the opening
performance. The stage manager
was furious. After the show he
had heart to heart talk with the
drummer in his dressing room.
'SThat was the place where the
loom would have got the biggest
laugh, and you let it pass" he roar
ed.
The drummer scratched his Teu-
tonic head. "Vell, it LOGGED serious
derc," he answered.
mo, that's burlesque," said the
manager. ''Now, every time you
see her fall don't think anything,
but just wallop that drum. See?"
"Chess," said the drummer, and
at every performance thereafter the
boom Of the drum never failed.
The following week the bill was
"Sapho." The leading lady took
her part seriously and studied great
effects in business for the big
scene" at the close Of the third act
when Jean leaves her. 1t would be
her great personal triumph, she
thought, and truly her work was q
triumph, and the audience thought
so, too, as the play proceeded. Not
an eve in the house was dry when
the leading lady threw herself
against the door through which
Jean had just passed with his an
gry farewell. Her form shook with
sobs. and the very atmosphere was
tense with emotion. Slowly she
staggered from the door, then, with
a great cry Of agony, threw up her
hands and a. the curtain descended

AN ATHLETE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
DR.. N. 7. Adkins Comes February
list, TO Train Trinity Team.
From The Trinity Chronicle

Baltimore, Jan. 2.--Dr. Merls
Theron Adkins, bachelor of arts
of Beloit college, Medical doctor
of Johns Hopkins medical schoo
and for the past five years one o
the star pitchers of the eastern
baseball league, has been engaged
to coach the baseball team o.

been called the Annex" of the
Johns Hopkins hospital at Balti-
more since last September and
will resign that position about the
tenth of This month. After spend
ing couple of weeks at the home
of his parents in Troy, Wis, he
will report at Trinity College on
February and remain there until
the latter part of April, when he
will again report to Baltimore as
one of the Oriole pitchers for the
eastern leagues championslipsea-
son.
DR.. Adkins is so years of age
and is well-proportioned athlete
Of the commanding type. For
some years it has been conceded
that a baseball pitcher should be
of large build and DR.. Adkins
answers the requirements. He
weighs about 2Io pounds when
in playing condition and is strong
enough to stand any strain upon
his physique.
He was born at Troy, Wiscon-
sin, in 1877. As he matured he
became more and more deter
mined to get an education, though
the way was not in evidence.
Working hard during the summer
upon the farm, he saved enough
money each year to go through
the high school at East Troy.
One of his school mates was
Beaumont. who has attained dis,
tinction as a professional baseball
player with Pittsburg and Boston.
Perhaps the bent of one boy to-
ward baseball turned the attention
of the other in that direction, OF
perhaps each was a help to the
other in developing the latent
baseball talent each possessed. Al
any rate, both boys, al the age Of
seventeen years were much in de.
mand and by the fame gained
from playing on a country team
in the vicinity OF East Troy soon
secured an engagement with the
seui-profe:sional team at Waupin,
Wisconsin.
The revenue derived from thi.
enabled ".Addie" as he has always
been familiarly called, to gratify
bis ambition for collegiate edu
cation and upon his graduation
from the East Troy high school
he ma,riculated at BeioIt college.
Jack" Hollister was the coach al
Beloit in those days and to him
"Addie" attributes whatever sue
cess he may have gained in tn,
pitching line in after years. HoI.
lister carefully worked with "Ad.
die" and undoubtedly had a great
dea! to do with his development

in the western league, to get
more experience. He distinguish
ed himself that season by pitch
ing one of those rare no-hit-no-
run ga,nas against Denver and at
the end of the season he was sold
to the New York Americans. F.
In the meanwhile he had grad
uated from Beloit college and was
ready to turn his attention to
medicine, preferably at Johns
Hopkins. The way seemed to
open providentially when Jen-
nings, then manager of the Balti-
mere team, made a deal with
Manager Grifiths, of the New
York Americans, by which "Ad-
die was sent TO Baltimore, about
SIX weeks after the 1903 season
opened. From the first Adkins
proved one of the Orioles most
valued pitchers and always rank
ed high among the talent of the
entire league, In 1908 he ranked
ninth, with eleven games won
and FIVE lost. percentage Of .6S7.
In 1904 he won ~ games and
lost 9, ranking third, with a per-
centage of .7o9. In 1905 he took
fifth place with is games won and
9 lost, a percentage of 667. His
worst year was 1906, when he
won 16 games and lost IS, a per-
centage of $40 and rank Of
18th. Last year, unofficial aver
ages give him 20 games won and
II lost, a percentage of .645.
A review of the games "Addie"
has lost will show in nearly every
case that it was not so much the
pitchers fault as the inability of
his comrades to bat. His chief
request to the Oriole teams has
been make three runs and You
will win the game " Time and
again his losses have been by one
to nothing, two to one, or some
such score.
While he considers his 1904
season the best he has had with
the Baltimore club, those who
have watched him during the FIVE
years he has been an Oriole be-
iieve that he had never been more
effected than in the season. just
past, in which he developed a
spit" ball that puzzled all clubs
alike.
One of the E3ost notable per-
formarces of his career was re.
corded last summer at Toronto,
when he defeated that team, al.
ready looming up as champions,
twice in one afternoon, allowing
but three hits in the I6 innings
played. The first victory was ? to

1895 and 1896. He won the first
game, probably the most nerve
racking. for the champions were
terrors TO the Younger men. by
an s TO 5 score and pitched again
in the last game, in which the
veterans were reinforced by the
great Donovan, Of the Detroit
American league champions, and
the equally great Mathewson, Of
the New York nationals, Adkins
held his formidable opponents
down to two runs while his com.
rades made 5 and were never
really in danger Of losing.
Upon coming to Baltimore in
1903 Adkins entered the John
Hopkins Medical School and com.
pieted his course there last tune.
