"A STUBBORN CINDERELLA,

''Money talks, ' is an old saying. and ode of the most true axioms ever ut. tered, and as a consequence. some of the figures which are part of the perform. 1 ance of "A Stubborn Cinderella. the quality musical play by the authors of ''The Time, the Place and the Girl, |" 1.-The Girl Question:" and Honey Moon Ttrail" which will be seen here at Dreamland tonight, are not only interesting, but startling in their mag. lltude.
 There are ffty-two chorus girls in { he production, most of whom make complete change of costume five times, though some do only four times and some seven. It averages, however, five and fourth time for every girl, which means that the wardrobe mistress and Ter assistant must keep in perfect con. dition l6s dresses. iWth the hurried packing and other wear and tear which falls to the lot of the theatrical cos. tune, the task confronting the ward robe mistress is appalling. Although each dress does not contain the same amount of material, it will average very close to six yards, which when multi. piled by l6S dresses, means that over 1000 yards of material were use din their construction. By means of pedo. meter worn by one of the girls the other night it was ascertained that each one takes an average of 475 steps in each of the musical numbers. There are eleven of these, which means that 5,225 steps per evening are taken, while each girl from the location of her dressing rooms in the theatre will average to run up and down at least twenty five flights of stairs each performance; 200, weekly; or 5000 during the average theatrical season.

When a player falls off on his batting, people begin to wonder what Is the mat ter with him. The ordinary person cannot for the life of him reason out why ball player should be able to hit one part of the season and suddenly take a slump and act like novice at the bat To one familiar with the playing of the game of baseball, the reason for this is a we'll known fact.
 Good hitting considering, of course, the natural ball player, generally depends upon the physical and mental condition of the man. When he is in good shape his eye is clear and his brain works quickly; when he is out of condition his mind is dull and he loses his eye for the ball. To the close observer it will be patent that the man who is on the tobog- gan as regards hitting, either swings too soon or too late at the ball. Just what may be the cause of this is hard to tell. Most likely it is the condition of the player. Any man in the big leagues would give whole lot to know how to get out of the rut when he has taken slump, but this has to come about in it's own peculiar way, and the Respondent player, one day feeling that he couldn't hit balloon if it was tossed to him, the next stands up at the plate and feels like murdering anything that comes his way.
 The best thing for man to do when his eye is gone is to indulge in all possi- ble practice that he can get He should have one of his pitchers work with him and have nothing served up except straight, swift balls. This will help him better than anything else to recover his accuracy and gauge the ball to a nicety.
 Timing the ball is the great secret of successful batters. This knacB must be natural to a man, for it cannot be ac- quired. In this line the good ball player

resembles nothing so much as the good musician. The latter must have nat ural knowledge of time, and the person who has no music in his soul can never attain this knowledge perfectly, though he spends the whole of his life trying to get it. So it Is with the ball player; if he has not the natural ability to time the ball he might as well cease trying to play the game.
 The other day as we were leaving the field of St. Louis. heard fan (referring to one of our players) remark: They ought to bench that fellow; he can't hit anything" As a matter of fact, the man to whom he referred was one of the best stickers of our team and had merely been up against a little hard luck. For three or four days I have watched this player and almost every time he came to bat he had met the ball squarely but could not seem to place 1t in safe territory. This Is a fact that is not taken into consideration by great many baseball lovers. They judge mans ability to hit by reading the scores in the next days papers, not at all stopping to think that a man who has no hits credited to him may have done far more toward winning the game than the player who annexed two or three safeties
 When the chap is off color the encour- agement of the fans is the greatest thing in the world for him. But in such case as this, just when he needs it the most. it is not extended to him. The man who Is going along at a championship clip needs no help from the crowd, yet he is the very one who receives all the applause and credit. while the other fellow who may be a better player, is a subject for jeers and jibes.
 The great falling off in hitting in the past few years may be ascribed to a num- Der of causes. First and foremost of these is the great amount of study which managers and pitchers put in, endeavor- ing to find out the weakness of the bats man, whose every move Is watched. Every

BOOKER TALKS
 ABOUT JOHNSON

New York, June 6.-Jack Johnsons title to the heavyweight championship of the world was the basis of sermon preached today by Booker T. Washington to the Negro Mems Business league of New York. The fighters name was not men tioned, however.
 ''In the last analysis" Dr. Washington told his hearers, success is what counts Success, despite race or color makes the man on top respect you. What the world wants is success. Hold up your suc- cesses; don't herald your gloom.
 You remember when a certain member of your race went to Australia to do a job; warnings were sounded that the color line would be drawn. The ques- tion was hurled at him: Aren't you afraid in that white mans country?'
 Now. suppose he had gone to Australia crestfallen, saying that he was a negro and much oppressed, would he have won? It is a God-send that he did win. It shows to the negro race what determine ton will do.
 ''The time has come when a negro must get commercial business and economic footing and get it in this generation or fall In ever getting it. Commerce, the dollar, draw no color line. The man who produces what somebody else wants will get the trade"

The Art Ot Hitting The Ball Timely
tionals.

pitcher on every team knows just what kind of a ball each man can hit, and just what kind will fool him. The other players on the team all know where he IS most likely to send the ball when he does hit it, and consequently are always ready to block 1t.
 The foul strike rule is another one Of the reasons. This, in my mind, is one of the greatest injustices, as far as the bat ters are concerned, that has ever been introduced to our national game. Critics will claim that it tends to shorten the contest, and hold popular interest but say what they will, there can be no de- nying that go out of a 100 fans love to see slugging, and would be willing to sit and watch a game a half an hour longer II there were plenty of good hits for them to cheer at. ~
 But I suppose this rule has come to stay and we will have to make the best of it.
 To the large gloves worn by all the players these times may be attributed a little more blame for the poor hitting. It is almost impossibility these times to hit anything that a fielder can touch, and to be safe on it. l believe that play CTS should use gloves for some protec- ton is necessary, but do think that the powers that be should see to 1t that the size of them were limited Almost any velop himself into a good fielder by go- velop himselfg into a good fielder by go- ing out and purchasing one of these pill lows and wearing good hole in It. Then all he has to do is learn how to judge the ball.
 The spitball was a drawback for a while, but now that the players are ac- customed to it, it does not bother them much more than any other of the shoots and slants of the good pitchers assort- ment.
 Like every other part of the national game. batting requires the use of whole lot of gray matter. If you can manage to guess what the pitcher Is liable to toss to you you can be reasonably sure, but then it's a mighty hard stunt for a fel- low to try matching his brains against one of the crafty twirlers of today, es- pecially when the odds favor the pitcher in the ratio of about 10 to 1.

WITH THE SCRIBES.

Hugh w. Roberts of the Birmingham Age Herald says that New Orleans has a look-in for the Southern league pennant. To quote precisely, it is as follows:
 New Orleans has '1ook-in,' and the Pelicans, old and settled as they are, will get to going very fast when the sun gets hotter and hotter"
 New Orleans fans will be glad to know that the Pelicans have "look-in." Cheer ing news. indeed, when nearly all are banking on that pennant. The same MT. Roberts also predicts that Memphis will not win the race. But he says nothing about Birmingham.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
 You've seen the Barons four times your self What do you think of them?
 Baseball, the greatest of all sports-the national sport-has the sufficient interest of itself to warrant large crowds. From an altruistic viewpoint 1t is but fair that the home team should be helped to win its games. If roofing can do it. why do not Montgomery fans get together and 70 out for scalps? It is done iN other cities. Fans are potent factors of, every ra p7e. and they should root or quit-not 10 to kick.-Montgomery Journal.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 6.--The Indiana endurance race was won by Dr. Link and R. J. Irwin, in the Indianapolis. They were in the air about 22 hours. The Chicago was second and the Ohio third. The record is A hours. held by Alfred Le Blanc of France, who started in the international race from St Louis, October q, 1907, for the James Gordon Bennett cup.
 The distance record is held by Oscar Erbloeh of Germany and was made in the same race. Erbloeh landed in Asbury Park, N J., having covered a distance of s52 miles.
 If the balloons still competing in the national race now on continue due south they will have to land near Pensacola, which is about 675 miles from Indianap- oils, and therefore they would have no chance of beating the record. If, how ever, they strike a current that carries them southeast into Florida or southwest into Mexico they can set new record.
 Two of the nine balloons that started yesterday in the national distance race of the Aero Club of America and the endurance test of the Aero Club of In- diana, landed today, and another. the In- diana, entered in the national race, is reported to have dropped to earth at Shackle Island, Tenn, at o'clock this evening, taken on water and sailed off south.

FIGHTS FOR PATRICK,
Wants Commission to lnvestiqate
 Death of Rice.

St. Louis, June S-John Milliken, brother-in-law of Albert T. Patrick, now serving life sentence in Sing Sing pris- on for the death of William Marsh Rice, and who has spent fortune in trying to free Patrick, in statement printed to- day, said that Patrick was not guilty. MT. Millikens theory is that Rice was moi murdered; that the Texas millionaire died a natural death, and that he was not chloroformed by his valet. Charles F. Jones, as Jones testified.
 He bases his hopes for the future on in- ducing Governor Hughes of New York to appoint a committee of physicians to in- vestigate the case and make a report on its scientific aspects. The commission, he says, will show that testimony of the ex- perts at the trial was unscientifc and false.
 He says Patrick was convicted by per- jury and trickery, and that the decision of the appellate division of the New York supreme court by no means ends the fight.

New Orleans. June 6.-It caused local fans no surprise this afternoon when the Barons defeated the Pelicans. It was their fourth straight victory in New Or leans. The Barons have never been licked here this year. The score today was 1 to 8.
 Until the ninth the Pelicans were badly crushed. They had found Fleharty but one time and Den>ont did the discov- ering then. It was a weak little pop, and caused the big fellow no worry at all.
 But in the ninth the Baron pitcher weakened considerably. Demont opened with a single and Rohe got one. Then weimer got one. Then an error occurred. Then an out was scored. Then Dundon singled As a result the Pelicans chased three across the pan.
 The Barons scored three runs in the second as a result of bases on balls, a
