SPORTING
GOSSIP

Baseball still holds the center oil
the stage in the sporting world, but
it must soon give away to the great
college spcrt-football. All of the
big colleges in the country are open
ing for the season and the football
squads are getting down to practice
In Virginia, the squads OF the Univer-
sity of Virginia. the Virginia Poly
technic institute and the Washington
and Lee University-the big three OF
the State-are already at work The
candidates for the teams on the
smaller colleges like Richmond Col
lege, William and Mary and others
also are reporting for the first pre-
liminary practice.
One good football game will be
seen in this city this season when
Washington and Lee University and
the University of North Carolina meet
on the Casino gridiron on November
|13. The teams will in midseason form
and should put up good contest
The Thanksgiving Day game will be
between William and Mary and
Hampden- Sidney College.
Present indications are that De-
troit will win the pennant in the
American League again this season
The race is still close, but with the
end OF the season only a little more
than two weeks distant, ii Is not
likely that the Athletics can forge
ahead Of the Tigers.
Pittsburg has practically ciinched

the "dopesters~ are already figuring
the relative merits of Pitisburg and
Detroit, and the probably outcome OF
the battle for the worlds champion
ship. Thus far this season. the teams
are fielding about evenly, but the Pr
rates are hitting slightly better tnan
the Tigers. And Il must be remeE-
bered that they have faced better

in the bookings of the vaudeville theatres enlightened people. When this trust and booking combine was first formed the public was led to believe that these com- binations were formed in the public in- terest. These communities of interest as they are called would be able to ef- feet by amalgamation many economies and the publis was thus lulled into a sense of security. The system even ex- tends to the small vaudeville theatres, as well as the larger ones. Every artist appearing in this and other cities is com pelled to pay fee of 5 per cent each week. the sum being deducted by the local managers from the salaries Fi1ese fees are paid in to the man of the book ing combine as blood money for ths privilege of earning a living; a direct tax on honest effort. If the quality of the performances were improved by this system there would be some excuse, but such is not the case These remarks are backed by an active experience of 25 con- secutive years in the theatrical profes- son For the benefit of the public and for theatrical managers and artists this should be made known. Graft rascality, double dealing and conspiracy have had their innings and 1t is time that justice, integrity and honest individual effort, backed by duty went to the bad to play the game fairly and squarely.

both large and small, as the general public is being cheated by the book ing combine. The statements in your ed itorial are strictly true. The theatrical trust stiles honest individual effort. Pub lie opinion, backed by determination and expressed fully and openly in the newspa- pers can kill any trust monopoly and it is. the only thing that will do it. The operations of the theatrical trust are not so generally known to the public as those of the other trusts but real art as expressed in the theatre has been sue ceeded by oommercialism and the public is being "buncoed'' by the system. The trust controls all the theatrical produc- tions-or most of them, because 1t con- trols practically all the theatres in the United States and it controls all the theatres because it controls all the man. agers, all the players and playwrights In fact, the tr->ST sets before the Amer ican public the kind of performance that must be accepted because the local man. agers are simply caretakers or janitors for the local playhouses in the different cities. The trust holds with a power ful grasp, its grip upon both the public and the theatrical profession. Individual ambition is thus crushed and subdued with the result in many cases that the public Is presented with a class of at fractions which disgusts the finer sensi- bilities to the qualification of the coarser instincts.
 Duplicty, cunning and open rascality are practiced with impunity. It is a colossal outrage and a most brutally se- were injustice. The public has tolerated this piratical curse-for 1t is nothing less patiently if not joyfully, but the time has arrived to let the people know of this vile system of extortion by the trust.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.

The Bijou Musical Comedy company put on ''The Little Host' last night at the Bijou theatre for the second week of the present engagement and the perform ance was well received. "The Little Host" and funny and the company gave a snap py performance that left nothing to be desired.
 The story of the piece, for it has much more plot than one usually finds in shows that are called musical comedy, deals with the adventures of a gay young man and his equally gay father who are try ing to keep their true natures concealed from each other. The son is ostensibly a serious-minded student in New York, but on the contrary, he is having a good time with theatrical people and is in fact engaged to a stage celebrity. The father poses as a great temperance reformer in his home town, but takes fling occa- sionally in New York. The old gentle man drops in unexpectedly on his son at his apartments and finds a merry party under way. He is placated by few drinks, the son remaining in hiding and thinking that he has made mis- take in the address, the old gentleman concludes by inviting the entire crowd out to his home in the country. The next day the merrymakers are found al the Dashington home at Dedberry and when the son, by prearranged plan, ap- pears on the scene and confronts his father, it is not long before the true state of affairs is learned by both sides. " 1i fafh hnrte a.r,- sent to marry his stage love and the ending is happy.
 There is plenty of fun in the piece and the various members of tho company are seen to excellent advantage. Miss Lee
