4 NTHONY HOPES costume comedy,
u "The Adventure of Lady Ursula, :"
was revived last night at the
Auditorium theater by Lewis S. Stone
and his company, Mr.. Stone appearing
as Sir George Sylvester and Miss Flor
ence Oakley portraying the venture
some lady. The play was first presented
in this country by Virginia Harmed. 1t
is, in reality, a comedy in three acts
and prologue, though the program does
not so specify. The first act is merely
preparatory, and the action of the play
proper does not begin until the second
rise of the curtain. Once under way,
however, it proceeds swiftly to a con-
clusion The action is brisk, the situa-
tions slSillfully contrived and the hu-
NOR spontaneous and unaffected.
Lady Ursula herself is bewitching
young woman, whether in the aabila-
ments of her sex or in the brayer ap-
parel which, in this case, doth falsely
proclaim the man.
The Plays Philosophy
The lesson of the comedy, some per-
sons always are looking for moral, is
summed UP in the philosophy of Castle

STAHL PLAYS BETTER IN
BOSTON THAN IN GOTHAM

Tuesdays Boston Journal said:
Stahl plays a steady game on first
base and his fast work puts lots of
snap into the other feeders. Yesterday
in his anxiety to make good before
tile big crowd Jake made one poor
throw, but the fans are satisfied with
his playing and expect great things OF
him in the future.
In view of the good game Stahl IS
playing for Boston the following,
which was recently printed as part of
a New York special to the Washington
Star is Interesting:
When StahI wsis obtained in the
spring By Griffith, National League
manager declared that New York had
been "stung"
Il don't wish to be quoted" said
this man, referring to Stahl He will
be Il dead one from start to finish He
is q much oVer-rated ball player and
New Workers will find this out in the
near future"
This manager was surely a prophet
and 4 prophet who called the turn
Stahl has been big disappointment
since he joined the Highlanders. In
the cutfield his work was poor, and at
first base. his natural position, it was
little better Stahl may be an Al play
er, but he failed to show up as such
in this city.
1t may be that he was dissatisfied
here. There are many who are of this
opinion, and judging by the manner in
which Stahl hit the ball i'll yesterdays
contest, there may be something to
this. The former Washingtonian vas
informed before the game that he
could pack his trunk and jump to Bos-
ton after the contest. The result was
that out of four times at bat he raped
out home run. a double and a sin
gle, and on each occasion he deliber-
ately turned toward Frank Farrell and
gave the New York president the horse
laugh. This is not to say that the big
player did not do his utmost to help
out the Highlanders, but he played as
he never played since he has worn a
New York uniform and tried his ut
most to help his team to victory

King TELLS WHERE HE
THINKS OUTFiELDERS WEAK.

Catcher Johnny King of the Chica-
go Cubs believes that outfielders as
general rule are becoming deficient in
throwing to the plate.
ut seems to me that outfelders are
overlooking enc very essential point
in their practice when they do not take
three or four heaves from their posi-
tons to the plate" said King II have
seen quite few runs scored because
throws from the outfield We're not ac-
curate. 1t is not particularly difficult
for some outfielders to throw as true
as die. while others appear to put
their full force behind 81 throw, which
Is aimed at random. and trust to luck
for the bah to go to the waiting catch
er. Some fielders with great throwing
arms seldom shut off n run because
the catcher is pulled too far from his
position to take the throw, while 9TH
ers who may not be able To- get the
same distance AS some Of the stronger
throwers put the ball right at the
catcher every time
This feature of the game may look
insignificant tn many feeders, but |
am of the opinion that too great stress
cannot be laid upon it by the mana
gers.
ut is my contention that many a
run can be shut off if the outfielders
learn to throw more accurately to the
plate"
