Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 24.-The man
ayers of all the first-class theaters in
the South are in session in Atlanta
today. The question TO be decided
is whether the theaters of the south
are to have the "open door" in at

Some OF the managers are inclined
to let the Klaw & Erlanger forces

declared that IL the Shuberts are
given a chance with attractions that

The Real Governor.

While Governor Wilson OF Ken
lucky was bouse-bound last winter
owing to strained tendon in his
leg, he was attended by "Jim," who
had been general factotum to many
governors, and who was a source OF
much fun among state house at
taches.
The lame leg caused the governor
to move his Office temporarily to the
mansion, where he received many
delegations.
On one occasion Mrs. Wilson had
waited luncheon for thirty minutes,
and she told his excellency that he
must come down and eat with her.

An All star Team.

AS Keen Judge OF Dali playtls,
Lieut.. Jake Werle, of the Louisville
police, ranks among the best in the
country, says the Post. He has been
of invaluable aid to magnates who
were after corking players on short
notice. and he has picked out lots Of
players from the minors who are
now stars. He has reduced the study
of baseball records to a science, and
his knowledge OF the game and his
acquaintance with the men who have
played 1t for the past thirty years is
nothing less than remarkable.
At this time fans indulge in the
interesting discussion of an all-star
aggregation in the association, and
the big leagues just as the college
men compose their all-American
football team when the season is
over.
For an all-star big league aggre-
cation Lieut.. Werle's selection makes
your eyes water. Wagner at short,
Collins at second and Chance at first.
The plays that trio would pull on
would seem impossible today.
Old Honus could come pretty near
playing both short and third, but It
would be wise to allow Harry Lord.
with batting average Of 800, to
help him out. Why a bush league
pitcher. with that infeld behind him,
could come mighty near twirling a
no-hit game. IL he could keep the
batsmen from hitting long flies. and
even then they would have TO be
pretty far cut TO escape the hands OF
that lightning infeld. When we so
to the outfield there are some nifty
bali players to be seen. For all
around consistency, Fred Clarke and
Sam Crawford are pre-eminent. Both

while in the right garden stands one

both hitting over .260, what a dream
life would be for the opposing pitch
ers. Harry Lord would head the bat
ting order, followed by Crawford,
Cobb, Wagner and Collins. The Bos-
ton ladies would get tired running
the bases unless that combination
changed. After Collins, Fred Clarke
would be seen In sixth place, with
Frank Chance batting seventh. Nc
Lean might send the ball into the
bleachers for a home run, and the
writer has seen Gibson put II over
the fence. Then, with Christie
Mathewson on the mound, just mag
