NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Ir
"Baby Mine," at Days theater,
Margaret Mayo, the playwright
has built a farce upon what ought
to have been the plot for tragi-
cal drama. The play has tickled
Broadway hugely, and seems des-
tined for a long run, but it is apt
to leave bad taste in the mouths
of less sophisticated but more nat
ural westerners.
To ridicule the mother instinct
seems more Partisan than Ameri-
can, yet that is what Baby Mine
does. Mrs. Alfred Hardy's hus-
band has left her in Chicago and
gone to Detroit to live, because of
a quarrel in which Mrs. Hardy's
selfish aversion to children had a
large part.
Mrs. Hardy conceives the idea of
adopting new baby from an in

When the clinging-lace, spark
ly-jewel lady had gone to the play
that was too deep for Carlotta,
there was no one left but the man
over there in the corner. The man
was Carlotta's father; but you
would never have dreamed it. For
Carlotta was eternally hiking the
big, pale-blue ribbon out of place
on her brownish locks and twist
ing her red-leather girdle around
and hopping about on one red
shod foot, while the man was
flabby and grouchy-oh, terribly
so!
When Carlotta crept over and
showed him the fluffy, pinkish
Princess of a broken-headed doll
which she adored, the man growl-
ed like bear: "Ah-h-h, g'way!
How can l think with you bother
ing me 500"

Carlotta, and she's sure enough
Princess and she wants to meet
her grandpa; and Carlotto
thrust the Princess Wilhelmina
right into the mans purply face.
Now here!" stormed the man.
''If you don't play with your
things and leave me alone, I'll put
you in a dark closet" The man
glared; the Princess Wilhelmina
blinked, and Carlotta backed
about, THAT bear crowd-if a
fellow only knew-P. & O.'s going
Iup."
Then Carlotta laid the royal
china-child away in it's tiny, brass
bed, taking care that no waking

blue eyes, and after that she
fskipped over to the man again and
tshouted "Boo!"
i The man jumped nearly from
his chair and shook his fist
"Ugh-h-h!" he growled once
more; and Carlotta twirled about
like a dervish.
THE BEARS" she pleaded. "Tell
me about the bears, please, pop"
| "Here!" Snorted the angry man.
do you think / can figure out
this deal with kid jumping all
over my back and yelling about
bears and princesses? won't
stand for it,"
/ Carlotta slipped from the pres
ence of the worried man and sat
in her own particular corner in
own white-and-gilt chair, hard by
the Castle of Yak-Buffalo Blocks,
which is near unto the home of
the Blue Paper-Doll People and
Immediately beside the tiny brass
bed where the Dutch Princess
sleeps. There she remained for a
minute undecided whether to cry
out for very sympathy, or to be
angry as a worn business man,
or to arouse the Princess Wilhel-
nina from dreams of doll-dragons
and pies to tell her the story of
childhood neglected. Carlotta de-
cided on this last course, and the
Princess had to open her sleepy
eyes.
In the corner, the grouchy man
muttered "Bulls-66 u = sell
short-Bank of England" and lots
like that; then he relapsed into
moody silence.
Its this way, Wilhelmina," be-
gan Carlotta. You see, when a
papa-man goes down town to-
make money, everybody else is
trying to make money so fast that
the papa-man comes home angry
and acts like our pet hen, Jessica,
when the cook throws dish-water

MURPHY MUST LOOK
TO LAURELS WHEN
FITZPATRICK COMES

Down at Yale there is a tradition which
says that the teams. coached by the great
Mike Murphy are the hardest teams in
the world TO beat. Out in the wholesome
West there is also a tradition The tale
of the West is that Keene Fitzpatriek's
teams are the hardest teams in this great
section of the country to defeat
There are two great trainers in this
country who stand head and shoulders
above all of the trainers of the college
athlete. These two men are the great
Mister Murphy and the idol of athletic
Michigan, Keene Fitzpatrick.
And now Fitzpatrick is going to leave
US He is going to fold his tent and steal
away in the night He Is going to Prince
ton, and you may be sure that the Tiger
institution is getting one of the greatest
trainers of athletes In the whole world.
In 1903, the year Minnesota and Michi-
gan fought out that memorable battle at
Northrop Field, which ended in a tie
score of 10 6. it was patent to the OBJ
server that the Michigan men were In
much better shape than the Minnesota
men. Minnesota men took out time re-
pestedly and they left the game from
time to time.
There was a difference on the Michigan
side, The men were trained to the min
ute. and It was only this spleadid training
that enabled Yosts men to hold Minnesota
to an even game Had the Gophers had
as great a conditioner OF men in charge.
&c is possible that there might have been
a different story.
Not only does Fitzpatrick train the
members of the football team. but he
also coaches and trains the members OF
the Michigan track team. That the ath-
Ietic record OF the Wolverines is so high,
is due lrgely TO the great ability OF
Fitzpatrick,
A great trainer is indeed rare man
In this world. Trainers Of thoroughbreds
receive prineely salaries. Trainers of col
lege athletes also receive a very good
salary, If they can produce the results.

Hardly had Nathan J. Cartmen. the

Since his return TO Philadelphia he has

with some one for championship event
Few OF the men who want TO run Cart

Of a man willing TO be beaten for a
losers end of the purse.
In order 10 win the championship Cart
nell had to go to England as an amateur
and run a season. He kept his eye on the
professional end Of the game. and still
captured just enough amateur races to
have them guessing at his ability to beat
the champion of the world. who at that
time was 2. a. Postel. Of England.

This year Cartmeli went as a simon
pure, but he had been tipped by Mike

Of the knowledge which Mike gave him
before his departure The Red and Blue
runner won the English championship in
the amateur ranks. and then he chal-
lenged Postel for the title he had held so
long.
The country was divided as to the win
