A FINE PLAY
my Boy, jack Proves BE One Of the
Seasons Best Bookings.

oEdSOu DCSt DVuNih6o. /
One of the hest plays of the season
was seen Saturday evening when the
four act comedy drama, MY Boy,
jack was presented at the New
Grand. While q very poor crowd
for such a good show was present,
all of those who we're fortunate
enough to attend pronounce MY
Boy. Jackn as one Of the best treats
Of the season. The play was one
which would suit almost any class Of
people. There we're both sad and
tragic scenes for those who prefer
that kind but interviewer with the
drama there ran a vein Of that de-
lightful comedy which is SO rare in
that kind of a play. Without ques-
ton, "My Boy, Jack" isthe best
comedy drama without music seen on
the local stage this season.
The play itself is $50 cleverly writ
ten and so original in its composition
that much of the credit of its success
belongs to the author, Edward Milton
Royle. But above this, the play was
put on by a company, every member
Of which was an artist in his or her
line. While containing only eight
members, the company was except
ionally well balanced. While every
part was an important and essen
tial in the development Of the plot,
the title role of "Jack," preeminent
all through the play. Eugene
Moore's Interpretation Of this, the
title role, was a rare treat to those
who were fortunate enough to be one
of his audience, While he was the
source of a greater part of the
comedy, Mr.. Moore played his part
with such surprising naturalness and
ease and at times held himself under
such perfect control that one can say

JOE CANS SHOWS WISDOM
ON The WEIGHT QUESTION

is accused of being afraid. The men
who are arguing in favqr of Blackburn
say that Cans has fought at the mid
dle-weight division before n why not
fight al it now. The question is a silly
one. Cans did not fight at that weight,
but he was younger than he is today.
Joe Cans is taking on years n his
past fights have not tended to help him
any at that. Many a beating he has
taken until he found the path to land
the knockout blow and with these scars
and results of other days his age will
not permit him to take any chances by
going out of his class. Cans and his
followers ought to tell Mr.. Blackburn
TO go and whip some of the good men
in the lightweight division. and then
when he has done this to talk business
with the champion.
If there is any mar who has a right
to meet Blackburn in the middle
weight class it is Jack O'Brien, because
osBrien cannot call the color line
against Blackburn. He has fought
others of the dusky stripe. and Jack
ought to take on this fellow and try
him out. If O'Brien was in the bust

howl from the friends of Jack Black

O'Brien is "skeered' of the coon and

and if Blackburn ever expects to get a
chance at the wise man of Philadel-

in the matters of arrangements. As

Amateur Champion Is Expected
to Have international Hon.
Ors in New York.

NEW YORK. May 4.-The interna-
tional amateur 1872 balkline billiard
championship tournament will be re-
sumed tonight at the Liederkranz Club.
The games thus far have brought out
the best amateur billiard playing ever
witnessed in this city. Calvin w. Dem
Arrest, of the Chicago Athletic Club, has
shown himself to be in a class above
the other entrants. He has an unbeaten
record, with the best average and high
run. In his three. anne the national
amateur champion has o~utclassed his
opponents and won easily. He has de-
monstrated his superiority in every de-
partment of the game, and unless he
should strike an off night he should be
returned an easy winner.
Lucien Re Role. the French cham
pion, has not developed the strength he
was expected to. His defeat by G. Il.
Conklin, of Chicago, was unexpected,
and his prospects of winning from DEM
Arrest are not of the brightest. His run
of 1903 shows him to be at all times dam
1erous, and. despite the handicap of
playing on strange tables, with climatic
conditions different to those to which
he has been used, he has made a cred
liable record. He is tied with Conklin
for second place. The latter will meet
e. W. Gardner, whose cue work has not
been of the highest order. in the final
game, and he should finish second in
the tournament. Re Role is scheduled
to play Champion Demarest tomorrow
night, and will find a much harder prop
osition than he has met so far in the
tournament.

derkranz Club, and e. W. Gardner, of
