WARD AND VOKES.

1t is promised that when Ward
& Vokes appear at the Illinois the
atre tomorrow evening they will dc
so in an entirely new big musical
show entitled the Trouble Makers
and that they will present a bust
nesslike, up-to-date IibrettO with
many bits of wit and real funny hui
NOR which will prove welcome re-
lief, because of the absence of vul-
garity and inane matters with which
plays under that title usually are
filled. In The Trouble Makers"
these two comedians are said to have
congenial roles, appearing first as
two nervy hoboes and then as two
female suffragettes with an incIina-
ton to speech making and stealing
and with other byplay and parOdies.
Ward and NOkes will have the sup
port of so farceurs. The Iibretto
is studded with gems that will no
doubt delight the nUIsic loving pub
lie. There are songs of live, songs
of sentiment, songs of a comical
nature, and songs that parody the
topics of today. There are concert
ed mum bers in which the entire COM
pany will be heard in harmonious
and richly blended melodies. The
evolutions. the dances and the fgur-
ing and posing of the company will
be something new in plays of this
description.

HOLDS ITS CLASS
Plight Made by the Three Eye
Against Redistribution
Plan Is Successful.
PROPOSITION is LAID OVER
Minor Organizations Will Continue
Under Present Rating, Thanks
to Local Circuit.

What determination and agitation
will accomplish was shown at the
meeting of the National Baseball asso-
citation when, after considerable dis
cussion, the question Of reclassiflca-
ton of the minor leagues was left over
for another year. To the Three-Eye
league, its president and directors and
the newspapers around the circuit,
more than any other factor. can the
victory over the Reconsideration adher-
ents be attributed. President a r.
Tearney fought the move with all his
strength. as it was generally felt that
it was the intention TO reduce the
Three-Eye league 10 a Glass c rating.
The newspapers took up the fight and
advanced many logical reasons why
league which has delivered the goods
in Glass B, as has been true of the
Three-Eye, should not be dropped a
class merely because the population
was not as large as in some other
leagues of the same rating.
Systematic Fight.
President Tearney appointed a COM
mittee, including two representatives
from the south end of the league and
TWO more from the nOIIh emu, anu Chey
conferred on ways and means whereby
the proposed Reconsideration could be
combatted. They agitated the idea
among the delegates to the meeting in
Chicago and when the time came to
take the matter up it was found that
any Reconsideration Of leagues which
would lower the standard of ball in
any leagues which had proved their
metal under the present rating was
opposed by a majority of the delegates.
Accordingly the proposition was laid
aside for another year. The result of
the fight made by the Three-Eye
league and by the Western league is
that the minor leagues will retain
their present classification for another
year.
