NOT ENTHUSING YET
ABOUT WASHINGTON'S
BASEBALL OUTLOOK
Two Winnings From Cleveland Encouraging, But Not
Conclusive Hughes Arm May Be Gone--Doubts
About Eastern Teams.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Hope long deferred maketh the heart
sick" and following many losers
maketh the fan tired. Wherefore, we
are not enthusing whole lot about the
Washington baseball team until it
strikes a gait of consistently good per
foTmances. By this is not meant that it
should win a large bunch of games in
a row, but that it should show that
it is once more on the job with the
stick and in the field. It has been in and
outing at such a rate that nobody had
an idea when the team appeared
whether IL was going TO give an all
star exhibition like the 1 to / game Of
seventeen innings in Chicago, or wheth-
er 1t was going to present a farce
comedy like the games IN st. Louis All
teams have their lapses, but the Wash
ington club seems to have cornered the
market on that speciality.

the matter with Johnson's wing is hard
to tell He may have an ordinary sore
ness or it may be worse. At any rate,
he is so young that it Is not likely to
amount to a great deal But the re-
port that Hughes has again been at
tackled by the pains in this shoulder
which stopped him part of last year
and the year before is alarming.
Hughes trouble is the displacement OF
ugaments or muscles and when IL gets
bad IL Is very bad. He thought the os-
teopathic and bonesettiug treatmenb he
took last season and last winter had
fixed him up permanently, ana he was
not bothered by the ahlict!on this

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
The First Continuous Performance"

II was In the month Of January, 1888,
that Mr.. B. +. Keith, who had been
studying the show business with far
seeing eyes for many years, presented
IN a store that he had leased In Boston,
the first continuous show ever seen on
any stage. He paid his performers
twenty dollars week for single turn,
and forty dollars week for double, and
required them TO give eight or nine
turns day. His ''top-hner," or chief
attraction, was a pound and a half
baby. The doors of has play house were
open AZ noon, and from that time UNI
iii half past ten at night the perform
anee went on without interruption. Pa
irons were allowed TO spend the entire
day in the theatre, and at first so many
awaited themselves of this opportunity
TO get a substantial filling Of amuse-
ment at a small cost. that Mr. Keith
realized that he must either abandon the
idea OF a continuous entertainment Of
else invent some method by which the
audience could be driven out Of the
building and place made for those out
side who were waiting for admittance.
Necessity is the mother of invention,
especially when II is mated with sharp
Yankee wit, and IL was thus that what
is known as "the chaser" came into the
wcrld.--James L. Ford in McClure's.

San Gabriel Valley in southern Cali

and running horses. and from his Santa

classic races in this country. Three OF
Lucky's horses won the American Derby
Volante in 1885; the Emperor Of Nor
