Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-Com-
mencing today Jack Twin" Sullivan
and Stanley Ketchel started hard work
for their battle of May 9, which prom
ises to be the most interesting and at
tractive middleweight bout ever de-
cided on the coast. For the last ten
days the huskies have been partaking
of light exercise so as to fit themselves
for the laborious task of preparing for
35-round mill, and both are ready to
enter the tough grind which must last
close onto two weeks.
From a fight fans point of view
nothing better than this Sullivan
Ketchel match could possibly be Of
fered in the pugilistic line. Ketchel, the
most spectacular knocker-out of the
present crop of middleweights, is to
hook up with the larger of the famous
Boston Twins who has met and dis
posed of the country's best heayies, in
Guiding Mike Schreck, Al Kaufman,
Bill Squires and even the present near
champion, Tommy Burns, whom he
beat in Los Angeles in twenty rounds.
Hugo Kelly claimant to the middle
weight throne, was lucky to share the
honors of draw with the sturdy Jack
"Twn"-so the winner of the fleet week
scrap will be the bona fide champion
of the middles.

ERNEST CRAWFORD CHOSEN
FOR PLACE
viii Succeed Sparks Berry June I
Mr.. Crawford Is an Eastern Man.
ager of Many Years
Experience

Ernest Crawford, a theatrical man.
ager well known in the east, will sue
ceed Sparks Berry as manager of the
Auditorium theater June /. Mr.. Craw-
ford's appointment was made by the
Auditorium governing board yesterday
afternoon. He was one of fifteen appli-
cants for the position.
Mr. Crawford will enter upon his
duties practically untrammeled by con-
tracts made before his accession. The
Edgar Temple season at the Auditorium
| is expected to continue until July b.
After that the slate is clean except for
conditional time. being held for grand
opera engagement next fall. Whether
or not the Temple season will be ex-
tended depends. of course, upon the
patronage and the decision of the new
manager, whose plans have not yet
been formed.
Ernest Crawford is a nephew of L. M.
Crawford, head of circuit of theaters
in the Mississippi valley and was for a
time in his uncle's employ. He has had
experience in the theatrical business
both before and behind the footlights.
His first LOB" was as usher. Then he
was promoted, into the box Office, ulti'
mately becoming treasurer of the same
house. For several seasons he toured
the country as an actor in the company
of the late Alexander Salvini. He also
appeared in the notable New York pro-
duction of "Dante" made by the late
Sir Henry Irving.
During the Columbian exposition Mr..
Crawford was treasurer of the bureau
of music. During the st. Louis fair he
was connected with the Ocean theater
as stage manager of the spectacle, "The
Louisiana Purchase" More recently
he has been with Charles Frohman.
What policy the new manager intends
to pursue has net been announced, but
with H. c. Wyatt of the Mason opera
house dictator of the higher priced
travelling attractions booked by the
Klaw & ErIinger combination and with
John Cort and oliver Morosco in the
popular priced field it would seem that
| the Auditorium must resort to stock
Whether it will be dramatic stock or
operate stock, however, remains to be
seen.

FRANK L. CHANCE TO

CHICAGO. April 25.-Frank L.
Chance. "corking' first baseman,
manager and captain of the worlds
champion Chicago Cubs. will take to
the stage.
oh, no it doesn't mean that the great
first baseman will desert the diamond
for the footlights. He will not give
up the worship of the fans for that of
the matinee girls. Here's what 1T does
mean:
He will bait the umpire in the sum-
mer. He will beat the villain in the
winter
Chance will make his debut early in
the fall And not In a burlesque or
monologue in which he will tell "how
he did it," But he will have the lead
ing role in a real comedy written by
George Ade and Charles w. Murphy.
president of the Chicago National
league team. And right mere let II De
said that if Mr.. Murphy can't make
hero of Chance, whether on the stage
or off, no man can.
Which means that If Mr.. Murphy
writes about Chance in the play the
way he talks about him when discuss
ing the great first baseman, the base
bali magnate will make the hit of the
season as a playwright.
"a Home Run Hitter" is the title OF
the comedy in which Chance VIII be
starred and his initial appearance will
probably be in some Chicago opera
house soon~after the closing of the
baseball season.
Chance will not be the first ball
PLAYER to make his bow before an au-
dience in a theater. Cap Anson was
featured in "a Runaway Colt" and

athlete. However, in his sophomore
and junior seasons he developed into
one of the best quarter-milers in the
south and scored a third place in the
440 against the other runners in the
conference meet. His performance in
the relay was also a grand effort, the
official time for his heat against Parker

is expected to lead his squad to VIC

The Occidental ball team is in better

GET HIM in TROUBLE
Gumshoes Follow Pug on Case of Mis-
taken dentlty-conductor Said
Diamonds Were Result
of Robbery

What does fame amount to. any
how? Last night Jim Flynn, called the
gamest man in the fighting business,
was nearly pinched by a couple of city
gumshoes for the wise guy that
touched the Redondo railway ticket
office for a bunch of kale. or course
the detectives recognized Flynn on
sight. but at that they put in couple
of hours trailing him around on fur
nished description.
Flynn went down to Redondo to see
the fleet depart and was spotted by
one of the car company's conductors.
The fare grabber Immediately tele-
phoned to town and Informed the de-
tectives that a man answering the
much sought robbers description was
hanging around the beach. II know
it's the guy" he said, "for he's got
couple of Jumps of rock and is looking
at them all the time, so he must have
just grabbed them"
When Flynn was ready to come to
town there was the conductor waiting
to see him depart. A couple of plain
clothes men were notified to meet the
car at the city limits and hurried out
on the assignment. Some way or other
they missed connections and with the
eagle-eyed conductor began to skir-
mish around town for the man with
the Kohinoors. Finally they entered a
downtown resort and the con grew ex-
cited. "See. there he is" he ex-
claimed. THAT guy with the soft hat
and gray suit"
And the coppers looked in time to
see Jim Flynn getting on the outside
of lump of book.
Jaw, skidoo back to Redondo and
her sand crabs was the best they
had for the car company's employe,
and wended their way back to the sta
tion.
And Flynn says he's had those dia-
monds q long time, too.
