The coming of In Old Kentucky" to
the New Academy each year has become
a recognized theatrical event. This play
is now on its fifteenth annual tour of the
country and there is apparently no evi-
denee Of its wearing out in the good
graces Of local playgoers. II is not so diff

perity of the play when it's dramatic
merit and supply Of features are cOnsid-
cred. The now famous pickaninny brass
band continues 10 enliven the perform
ance with popular music, and the little
darkies sing. dance. and romp in way
that always elicits spontaneous enthusl-
asm on the part of the audience. Despite
many attempts 20 reproduce this feature
IN other plays, or in vaudeville. IL still
remains bright particular feature OF IN
Old Kentucky because IL is an integral
part Of the story. and limitations of the
scene in any other environment than this
play have invariably failed to please. The
horse race loses none Of its interest by
frequent repetitions because II Is so ad-
mirably led up 10 and given with such

son of 1SO7-0S In Old Kentucky has

that tho cast and production arc always

OFFERS FORTUNE
FOR ST.LOUISN N. |.
CLUBS FRANCHISE
BOokmaker Celia Would Give
Robson $50, 900 for Con-
troll of the Cardinals.

ST. LOUIS, May 25.-Even the fran
chise of a club which has been the
habitual tailender of the National
League is worth a fortune in six fig
ures. Owner Frank De Haas Robson
has received an offer of $780, 900 for his
club from a company headed by Celia.
the noted bookmaker, who controlled
the racing game in the State of Mis-
souri,. with Adler and Titles, until Gov
ernor Folk succeeded in closing the
tracks in the SHOW ne" State.
Robson had been holding out for
$3.50. 600, but the st. Louis club has been
a white elephant on his hands and as
he has already lost that amount in the
game, it is said that he is willing to
accept Cella's offer. The hitch, how
ever. is the action taken by Garry
Hermann. chairman of the National
Commission. Hermann is financially
interested in the st. Louis club and has
some say on that account. Then, too,
as chairman of the high tribunal OF
baseball, he objects to have the fran
chise go into the hands of a bookmak-
ing concern, which mas been In all sorts

But there is one fault. All the world

There is a spirit for you, the old spirit

BENDOKUS WINS
FOUR BATTLES
IN THREE WEEKS
Newark Boy Bests Sandy Will
Jams and Is Now Star At
traction in New York.

-Four clean-cut victories in his first
three weeks of fighting is the record of
Johnny Bendokus. the Newark light
weight who just at present is attracting
much attention at the fight clubs in
New York city. Bendokus on Saturday
night beat Sandy Williams in six rounds
Of fierce fighting before the National
A. G, of Brooklyn. His showing in all
of his fights was such as to attract more
than ordinary attention.
From a common preliminary pug to a
star in three weeks is the record Of
Bendokus. who less than a month ago
was considered a dub in Newark. Ben
dokus was thought to have very little
chance against Sandy Williams, who
once put up a great fight against Willie
Fitzgerald, the fighting Brooklyn lad.
Williams was really pitted against Ben
dokus in the hope hat he would end
the Newark boys fighting career. Will
Jams carries a knockout punch in either
hand. and, though in the second round
he laid back, drove his right hand ali
the way over to Bendokus's jaw, the
phnch did nothing more than to make
Bendokus lay back and vince.
Then the Newark lad cut loose, anc
in the last three rounds had Williams
stalling to save himself
After the fight Billy Brown matched
Bendokus with Billy Manning, the
crack lightweight, of Providence. r.. l.
This will be the star attraction at
Browns club tomorrow night. The
betting will favor the Newark lad.
Bendokus is not a finished fighter.
He has improved in every bout, but
has a lot to learn. One thing is GER
tain, though, he can take and give
beating. Close followers of his work
say he will be Jerseys lightweight
champion, now that Battling Hurley's
