The encounter is intensely dramatic
and the final escape of the survivors

scene to a spirited conclusion and SOL

Irving is we'll conceived and artistically

enough to engage special interest, but
Mr.. Hackett charges it with the quality
of manliness-the chivalric kind that
one may generally count on in connec-

he grows upon us, and at the last he is

young actor is obviously growing in his

as given at the Grand opera house has
proved such an artistic and box office
success that 1t will be continued for a
second week, commencing with the
matinee today. The Hartman organ
ization is giving performance of this
beautiful opera that Is in every way
worthy of more pretentious company
and that the theatergoers of Los An
geles are keenly aware of this fact is
being evidenced In the succession of
crowded houses that have greeted the
singers.
Oscar Walsh has scored an unmis-
taxable success in the role of the Poet
Hoffman,, while Christina Nielsen In
the trio of acts in which she appears
again proves her superiority as So
prano of actual merit. The production
is in every way a dignified one and in
keeping with the high character of the
opera. The barcarolle, "Oh, Night Di-
vine; oh, Night of Love-" is one OF the
most enhancing numbers in the opera,
and as sung by Miss Nielsen is vocal

Stafford's Mastery

Stafford's effective box work and the

of the latter team, the score being 3 to ,.

Blue and Gray to victory over Holy Cross.
was on the rubber again yesterday, and
did good work. He allowed five hits.
struck out one batter and gave ba sc
on balls.
Stafford, on whom the Georgetown boys
expected to fatten their batting averages,
proved a big surprise. He looks any
thing but pitcher. but what he had up
his sleeve when he started his box work
was too much for the locals, as they could
only drive out three safe hits, two of
which were made by Mayock and the
other by Schlaf1y. His work was SO good
that Murphy and Mcdonald, who rarely
fail to get at least one bingle in game.
were completely at his mercy. He sent
seven batters down on strikes, and gave
two free passes
Sitterding. who has been out of the
GEORGETOWN lineup on account of his
studies. has gotten up in his marks, and
was again at the third corner. The lay
of did not benefit him very much. as he
made a slip-up and was unable to connect
for a hit. Schlafiy played fine game in
right field, puling down four hard drives.
For the visitors Bost, at second, ac-
cepted five hard chances. Black and
Hartsell, at the third corner and short
stop. respectively. also had plenty of
work.
Georgetown got its two runs in the open
ing session. Murphy walked Schlaf1y
hit slow grounder to Stafford, which the
latter fumbled and then threw wild over
the first baseman's head. Murphy scoring
and Schlafy taking third. Schiaf1y then
scored on Simons foul fly to Seifert.

and Ross taking third. In attempting to
recover the ball and get it home. Murphy
fell all over himself. and before he finally
recovered the leather Ross had scored.

MARYLAND FARMERS
NOSE OUT CENTRAL

Central High School lost to the Mary
land Agricultural College nine at College
Park yesterday afternoon mainly through
the inability to his FARRELL. who served
them over for the Farmers. He allowed
but four hits and succeeded in striking
out ten Of the opposing batsmen.
The NJ. A. c. boys practically put the
game on ice in the. third inning when
four runs were scored. owing mainly to
the glaring errors made by the Central
ites The home team also made numerous
errors behind FARRELL. which permitted the
o street boys to tie the score in the fifth
inning.
In the seventh session Walters singled.
was sacrificed to second. an error putting
him on third. A high sacrifice ny to
Harrah. who threw poorly to the plate.
