OBSERVATIONS BY
A FIRST NIGHTER

VIZ HEN "The Girl of the Golden
wv West" is presented at the Be
W lasco theater next month the
play will serve to introduce to Los An
geles theatergoers a new leading wo-
man of the Belasco stock company.
Miss Catherine Emmet, who has been
plyaing the leads since Blanche Stod-
dards departure a few months ago,
will retire and her place will be filled
in all probability by Miss Alice Treat
Hunt. Officially, the name of Miss
Emmet's successor is still secret, but
q shrewd guess gives Miss Hunt the
position.
Alice Treat Hunt is little known in
California. She made her first big
stage hit as Madge in ''In Old Ken
lucky" and since then has progressed
steadily, having played many import
ant roles, both with stock organiza-
tions and in travelling companies. Like
her predecessor, she is a small woman,
physically. 1t has been some time
since 1 have seen her upon the stage,
but I remember her as a charming
actress, with a dainty way OF DONG
things a young woman of delightrul
personality and decidedly pretty.
All guesses regarding the future OF
Oliver Moroscos new Majestic theater
were set at rest last week by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Morosco will play

OBSERVATIONS ON THE ART
OF ACTING
nv Edward MI. SotherI

MY FATHER used always to say to
V me: Never fail to ask the stage
A'A- manager why?" That is good
rule. Never do anything until you know
the reason why.
The successful actor must devote his
life to technique.
A triumph of technique is that 1t is SO
perfect as TO be unobservable. When,
by hard work. the actor achieves per-
lection. it must look like mere instinct
l carried this from stevenson over TO
the theater and read It 10 my company
I'm your own art bow your head over
technique
Action does not mean merely physical
action" 1t is a clash OF tempera-
ments, whether expressed in blows or
words or intonation.
The one-part man is sure to become
hammered. while the repertory man Is
on the alert.N
1 cannot see why there is any suo1ect
which cannot be so treated dramatically
that 1t will lose its offensiveness. II can
be true TO life and yet delicate.
The actor will deserve well of his pup
lie when he deserves we'll of his art. he
deserves wall OF his art when he mas
seriously tried to master its technique
He will win half the battle OF tecn-
nioue when he depends least upon ges-
ture And he will win 1t all when ne
selects his plays with conscience ana
interprets them with soul.

All this, however. did not end mat

WILBUR WRIGHT IN PERIL.
Propeller Stops. But He Glides Slant
 wise in Safety to the Ground.

Le Mans, Nov 19.-An accident befell Wilbur Wright during his af- ternoon's flight yesterday which at first threatened the most serious consequences.
 Wright was flying at height of more than 63 feet with Captain Lu- cas de Girardville. when the chain connected with the right propeller broke and the propeller ceased to turn.
 All the spectators expected an ac- cident similar to that which occur red to Orville, but Wilbur. with rare sang froid. stopped his motor, regain ed his equilibrium and glided to the earth safely amid the applause of the crowd
 In his last flight Wright started without his derrick yesterday after noon, and after having descended at two places indicated in advance he cleared the line of small balloons placed 7S feet above ground. exceed ing it by S1, feet. This official test will be examined by the Aero club of France, which will decide whether or not MT Wright has won the official prize.
 Protests are possible owing to the fact that Wright. although he did not use the scaffolding and weight to get his first start, did use the rail on which the aeroplane customarily runs before it ascends.

THE DIAMOND.
Baseball Life, of Manaeers Not a
 Long One.

That the Job of holding down po- sltion as manager of big league base ball club is no easy ono is most conciusively shown by the large num- Der of changes which have taken place in the two big leagues In the past few years. as several of the clubs have made changes season by season, while others have continued to hold on 10 their managers despite diversity. These latter cases have been few and far between, howeye... and the fact that in the past six sea- sons there has been in all forty-one managers in charge of big league clubs shows the magnitude of the task which single man is called upon to shoulder as head of league.
 Recently there has been several managers who have been relieved of their jobs, these being Donovan of Brooklyn, Ganzel of Cincinnati. Me Closkey of St Louis, Mcclure of Bos- ton and Elberfeld of New York.
 Fred Clarke of the Pirates, Johnny McGraw of the Giants, Connie Mack of the Athletics and Jimmy McAleer are the only men left who have pilot ed big league teams continuously since the opening of the 1908 season.
 The St Louis Cardinals lead the National league clubs, having let out four managers in six seasons.
 The Boston Red Sox are the lead CTS in the Amrecian league, having had al t,tInfc cfnpa 1N0Q
 Washington is a close second on the Johnson circuit, having had four different managers during that pe- riod.
 The roster of major league club managers who have held the reins since 1903 follows:
 National League.
 St Louis-Patsy Donovan, Charley Nichols, Jimmy Burke, Jim McClos- key.
 Boston-Al Buckenberger, Fred Penney, Joe Kelly. Cincinnati-Joe Kelly, Ned Han- lon, Johnny Ganzel.

WILL BE GOOD RACE.
Longboat's Manager Names Condi.
 tions for Meeting With Shr11hh


 Toronto Nov 19.-Thomas FIana- gan, manager of Tom Longboat, in reply to Al Shrubb's suggestion for a series of races between the Eng lishman and the Indian, said:
 There is only one way we can ever get together. Shrubb wants 10 or 15 miles. Longboat wants 20 or 25 miles. I'll make concession. If Shrubb will agree to run Longboat a 20 mile race out of doors, I'll agree to race Longboat against Shrubb in- doors for 10 miles. I want the Eng lishman to bet s5,000. We'll decide the bet on the two races, if Shrubb likes. I know Longboat will beat him"
 If Longboat and Shrubb get to- gether here and sign for the match. four big cities are prepared to bid for the match. It can't be held in To- ronto. There isn't a building avail able. This match would draw at least 25.000 people here in Toronto. New York. Kansas City. Chicago and Denver want the match Buff falo has already made bid. naming a high price in the way of a purse to secure the runners. Longboat and Shrubb expect an ss.000 purse for their end of the match. New York is ready to give them a guarantee of S7.500. Chicago offers s7,500 for the first race and $6.000 for the sec ond race. Shrubb says he won't run in New York. Longboat feels the same way about it. The match will 20 either to Buffalo or Chicago.

THE CRIDIRoN
Everything looks Now .s if All Wstsrbury and BrooEyps
 Will Play.

With about all the arrangements completed for the football game on Thanksgiving day between the All- Waterburys and the Brooklyns. there Is just one hitch. That arose over the, grounds. It has been customary for tho Waterbury base ball corpor- ation to collect twenty-five per cent of the gate receipts for their share every Sunday at the football games and both teams admit this is too much. Aside from that tho teams playing would have to pay for police men, ticket takers, and the ticket seller employed by the base ball cor poration. It IA all clear profit for the corporation which takes no chances to lose. It was decided last night that unless the corporation saw fit to name stipulated price for the rental of the grounds, that arrangements would be made to play the game on the Driving park.
 When Managers Lawlor and Dun phy met last evening both proposi- tlons of the All-Waterburys were submitted to the Brooklyns. One was that the winner should take all the receipts and the other was that the receipts be divided seventy-five per cent to the winner and twenty five per cent to the loser. This last proposition was accepted. The question. of side bet was deferred until later. In the matter of off, cials there was not much dispute. Johnny Clifford of Naugatuck was decided upon for either referee or umpire, Harry Quinn of Bridgeport and Matthew G. Carroll of Winsted were named also for the other posi- ton and one of the two will be se- lected. There will be but one timer and he will be the great football player, Pop" Hotchkiss of this city. iDr F. 0. Marggraff of this city will be the official linesman. There may be change in some of>this list, as those named may decline to act. Both managers named their play CTS last night too. Manager Lawlor has practically the same team that he has been playing in the last few games. They are as follows:
 l, ll-Waterbury-Captain Joe Bag ley, Jack Bagley, Lou Cronan, Nolan, Thompson, Tanner, Gooding, Mulli- gan, Solberg, Dalton, Schildgen, w. Cronan, Lawlor, Neary, Griffin, Bau- by, Wentworth, Bird, Spain, Me- Donald and Sullivan.
 Manager Dunphy had some new men on his staff, among them being Bill Thompson and Tom Dodds. His lineup was as follows:
 All Brooklyn - Captain John Hayes, w. Mahaney, Brandt. Dodds, Buckley, Parella, J. Mahaney, Dun ming, Rooney, Ashmore, Beardsley, Bird, Brearton, Breney, Ghent, Merits, Byrnes, Thompson, Noland, Boylan, Dave Cronan,f Bergin.

Washington, Nov 19.-J. J. Par ker, an amateur athlete of St Paul, called on the, president yesterday to renew an acquaintance which deyel- oped twenty-seven years ago, during Mir Roosevelt's ranching days in the west. Mir Parker brought letter from Frank B. Kellogg. the antitrust lawyer but it was unnecessary, for the president recognized his caller as soon as he espied him as the man with. whom he boxed several times on western ranch.
 ''I called merely to pay my re- spects and was cordially received, :" said Mir Parker. "I don't want thing in the world in politics, but the president gave me a picture of each of his three younger children aud I prize them more than any of- flee. By the way. that man in there is the greatest man in the world hereupon Mir Parker entered pant ing taxicab and rode away.

Corbett has accepted provisionally. He will nurse his arm along during the win te rmonths, and if he feels right next spring. will pack his trunk and join the club.

Results of Contests Played Las
 Night,

Worcester, Nov 19..-After mak- ing an uphill fight and succeeding in tying the score with less than twenty seconds to play, Worcester lost the polo game to New Britain in Mechanics hall last night in a little over four minutes of overtime play. The Indian sign is on Worces- ter. Bobby Hart was pulled out and Schiller, though i'll, was sent in after New Britain had scored three goals in succession. Schiffer clouted Pence's' foot which kicked in the goal that tied. Duggan saw his chance and shot the winning goa from the center of the hall. Schif- fer is to be released because he works daily in Connecticut and has to trav- Tel nightly to games. Lincoln has been secured in his place. MitchelPs' 97 stops is a national elague record.
