HANS WAGNER DETERMINED
TO HAVE SEASONS REST
Star Pirate Shortstop Turns Down
Tempting oFers-WiiI Raise
Chickens This Year.

Hans Wagner gave Pittsburg base
ba.. f2ns "a jolt recently by announcing
that he would not wear q Pirate uni
form this season. There has been no
trouble between President Dreyfuss
and Wagner. Hans is not holding out
for more money. He simply says he
wants to get out Of the game and will
not play.
Wagner says when the season opens
he will be found experimenting his
fine chicken farm near Carnegie. Wag-
ner is worth more than 100000, and
has been anxious to quit playing ever
since last season. Wagner declares
his mind is made up and cannot be
changed
On finding that Wagner meant
really to retire, the owners of the
Pittsburg team offered MIN a straight
salary of $4,000 and agreed to allow
him to cut out the spring training.
When he declined this bait contract
signed by the Pittsburg club, with
only the salary line left blank. was
shown to him, and he was asked to
fill the figures himself and the club
owners would pay it. This he refused
also, saying there Was not enough
money in the world to make him play
ball, this year at least
There is intimation there was more
than rheumatism back of Waguer's re-
fusal to play ball this year He has
always been opposed to spring train
ing trips, and, having always played
his best ball with Ritchey, he felt
somewhat aggrieved year ago when.
after a quarrel with one of the club
officials, Ritchey was sent to Boston.
Wagner, who was never known to
talk much, told a friend that his bust
ness interests We're now getting so
large that he could not afford TO
play ball.

GALLANTs ANNOYED PLAYERS.
Managers Could Scarcely Keep Them
Of Stage in Revolutionary Days.

The theater in New York during the
period of occupation by the British WAS
really quite a social if not an artistic
success. The town was filled with
! tories, who We're glad to attend in
order to show their love and affection
for the British officers who appeared
as actors. Othello was a great favor.
ite as was Richard III.
One advantage the soldier folk had
over the civilian actors who preceded
and followed them. The orchestra was
always made from the regimenta
bands, and there were IA musicians al
a dollar head a night to make pleas
ant the entr'acte and to provide the
chills and fever accompaniment fol
the slaughter of Desdemona.
The scenery is said to have beer
insufficient and of a quality hardly cal
culated to arouse vast applause, and
yet it is known that Maj. Andre was
one Of those who helped paint tbs
scenery for several of the productions
Thomas Barrow, originally coach
painter and afterward New York's
only dealer in engravings was his as,
sistant. They painted roadside flats,
drops, side scenes, including in the
general effect streets, woods and
wilds, chambers and palaces accord
ing to a writer familiar with their
efforts. A Capt. Delaney also gave
his talent with the brush as a CON
tribution 10 the success of these anna
teur shows.
The costumes were of the best, how.
ever, for. no matter what the play,
the actors appeared in the uniforms OF
their regiments. The young subalterns
borrowed the gear and millinery of
their friends among the tory danes
of New York and cast back to the
days of Shakespeare. when all the fe
male parts were played by men.
For a long time in these early days
of the New York stage the hardes;
, 70 keep the gallants of the day oil
the stage. They insisted upon the
privilege accorded box seat holders in
| London and dawdled about the stage
| curing the action of the play, bah
bling among themselves or talking
TO the actors who We're not actually
engaged with their lines.
That they were an addition to the
scene slightly incongruous and foreign
! was not only admitted, but insisted
/ upon by the managers of those early
/ days, but it required a vast amount

DEBUT OF WILLIAM NORRIS.
Actors Experience in London as

about 1000 persons. The crowds be.
gan assembling about five o'clock in

as this was too early for supper, there
was an army of men with baskets of
luncheon which they pcddled among
the waiting throngs. The favorite

when, CHANGING TO glance at the side

glaring sign which read:
Gentlemen VIII Please Not Throw
Trotter Bones at Actors on the Stage.
The significance of this request
hit me instantly. Visions of Sleeps
feet filing the air and headed my
way petrified me with apprehension.
My tongue stuck, my feet grew numb,
my whole being was paralyzed. To
this day do not remember getting off
the stage, though | have been told the
stage manager dragged me off
Il remember hearing him say: You
had better get out of this as soon as
you can and my next clear recol-
lection is being in the cab on the
way back to my room. | removed my
makeup as best | could with my hand

pearance as a song-and-dance artist
Next season | came back to America
and went on the stage in a legitimate
company, though | confess | told the

Capron Ousted from ColIeae.

George Capron, Minnesota's greatest
football hero. who, through his mar
velous drop kicking last fall brought
victory to the maroon and gold ban
ners in more than one game, and who
is regarded as the greatest all around
athlete that ever attended Minnesota
university, has been expelled from the
institution. 1t is claimed that crib
bing' caused his downfall. There have
been rumors for some time to the ef-
feet that the famous gridiron hero
would be seen at Minnesota next fall,
but it was due mainly to the reports
that he had tempting offers by many
of the big eastern schools, and for
time it was even said that Capron
would be missing before the present
school year had been completed. Ac-
cording to the university authorities,
Capron has been expelled until next
fall, but ne will never return to Min
neSOta
