TRAFFIC NEARLY DOUBLES.
Heavy Increase in CoIonist Movement
Over Hartman Lines.

Chicago, March 30.-As indicating
the heavy movement of colonist traffic
this year, officials of the Hartman
Pacific lines, including the Oregon
roads, estimate the volume to that
territory this month and next month
at 10000 against less than $4,000 a
year ago.
The record spring movement for
colonists was in 1907. when $500
were carried west, in March and
April In the first four days of
March 1852 colonists went west by
Southern Pacific gateway-H Paso
and Ogden-as compared with 76S a
year ago.

ter this week presents in an elegant
production the famous Alexander Du-

In Monte Cristo' the Readick COM

umph of the Topeka engagement.
Frand Readick, who plays the title

vantage in Topeka than in this pro-
duction,- which gives him an oppor-
tunity to display his versatility. Jack
Thomas, Chris Nelson, George Spauld-

acting. OF the feminine roles Milly

part which she handles with ease and
a naturalness that is particularly i'm
pressive. Geraldine Wood and Bessie
Drake come in for extended applause.
There is no way so accurate in judg-

At the Majestic.

There was plenty of music at the
Majestic at their first performance
this on account of the late arrival of
some of the features which made it
necessary for the orchestra to play
every piece they had on hand.
In spite of the fact that it is the
only vaudeville in town at the present
time and holds the entire field, the
show at the Majestic is as good as it
ever was. Perhaps the best attraction
on the programme is Kikuda, the
Japanese juggler. His performance
with the batons and balls is the best
ever seen in the city. Glenn Wag-
goner followed this act with an illus
trated song, RED Wing" RED Wing
is as old as the circuit but it was we'll
illustrated and we'll renderedt-to the
entire satisfaction of the audience. A
unique comedietta Locked Out at 8
a. M" by Stephen Grattan & Co.,
drew a majority of the applause. The
little playlet is thriving with clever
expressions and situations. The time
~ presence of the milkman solves the
mystery. Another act that called
forth an encore applause but was not
gratified was the series of overtures

and the explanation of it will be re-
warded with $25. The management
still has the twenty-five dollars.

tells the Bible story of the passion and

Olympic team swimmer, Henry
Habner, by four yards, and Heb
ner will do the hundred close to
go seconds any time he is
crowded.
1t is remarkable that McGilli-
vray possesses such speed. He is
but five feet five inches and
weighs SO pounds. He is indeed
a material mystery.
When McGillivray reported to
Instructor Frank Sullivan as a
member of the Illinois Athletic
club junior class, for swimming
lessons, he could not keep. himsalf
afloat. Sullivan taught HIM the
crawl stroke. and in less than six
months the little chap was doing
SO yards In 20 seconds and was
a member of the I. A. C.'s relay
team.
Sullivan attributes McGillf-
ways progress to the fact that
the boy was not hindered by
change of stroke after he learned
to remain afloat, but learned the
crawl and stuck to it. If his the
DRY is correct it will revolutionize
the system of teaching.

BY LIZ Deb. Han0Iey.
Much was achieved athletically
In this country during 1908, and
experts in every line are airing
their views concerning what they
believe to be the sensation of the
year.
Personally I consider nothing
more marvellous than the develop
ment of Perry McGillivray, a 13-
year-Old Chicago boy, into a swim
mer of such caliber that only the
great Daniels, champion OF the
world at the classic 100 yards, can
defeat him at the distance. 3.
Pause to consider what this
means. No swimmer has ever be-
fore attained anything approach
ing championship form until he
was II or Is, and most fast mer
did not reach top speed until
they were past 20 years. Daniels
gave his first mixing Of extreme
speed at IS, and even he could not
do better than / minute and 10
seconds for the century; de Hal
may was 81 when he made even
time; Cavill was %; Healy 10,
and Wickham 20.
But here comes yOungsteE
who does 60 3-5 seconds in race
and then establishes precedent by
travelling 100 yards In a practice
trials In the sensational time OF
57-4-5 seconds. Think Of 1t! Al
10!
And there is no question about
the accuracy of the time. No less
an authority than Jamison Handy
western all-around swimming
champion, held the watch on the
boy in the trial. And had there
been no time taken, ii would have
been easy to guess 1t was inside

WINTER BASEBALL
FROM THE INSIDE

The pinch hitter's life is far
from being a continual bed of
roses. To the casual observer it
appears pretty soft for a man to
sit on the bench every afternoon
for seven or eight innings, with
nothing to do but watch the game
and then be called on to step to
the plate in pinch, to hit for
some weak sticker
Nothing of the kind. The man
that is kept on the pay roll to do
stunts of this sort has his work
cut out for him, and even though
the rest of the regulars tell him
what a snap he has, not one of
them would willingly exchange
places with him.
The pinch hitter holds his job
because he can swat the ball. Ev-
cry time he is sent in to hit for
some one he is aware that it's up
to him to deliver safe drive.
He has been sitting on the
bench possibly the greater part of
the afternoon without getting a
chance to see what sort of stuff
the pitcher is serving, and he
knows that the moment he steps
to the plate the finger will give
him everything in his repertoire.
Then everyone In the stands is
looking to him to clout and bank
Ing on him to make good. The
fans seldom take into considera-
ton that no matter how good a
hitter a player may be, he only
makes one base hit in about every
three trips to the plate.
Then he may be asked at any
moment to play some position, and
this keeps the emergency swatter
on the anxious seat.
.
He never knows what moment
his manager will take out some
weak batter that he can be substi-
tuted. About the only chance the
pinch hitter has to feel jubilant is
when he has been called on to per-
form and drives out the base hit
that returns his club victor.
TO have the cheers Of the fans
ringing In his ears at a time like
that is mighty fine, but does 1T
atone for the times after he has
failed to deliver the much-neededl
hit, and on his way to the club
house he hears some particularly
rabid fan yell: Get out, you big
nut. You couldn't fall out OF al
boat and hit the wateri"
