opera taking Its plot from Longfel-
lows Miles Standish." from the pens
OF Tibbals and Eldridge, the great
eastern producers. and is given In La
Junta only by special arrangement
with them and the payment OF a roy
atty.
Throughout the dialogues are bright
and witty. introducing much clever
repartee; the songs and music Is of
the lightest and most airy nature
the kind that the whole town will be
whistling and singing the next day
The cast includes fourteen princi-
pal characters. From Bert Botkin
who, in the role OF Miles standish, the
clustering captain OF Plymouth, Is
truly wonderfully like Caesar" down
to the least soldier in the army, a
degree OF talent Is evidenced seldom
found in High School students.
Miss Ermine Hall is especially good
in the character OF Priscilla" as is
also Miss lnez Blevins as the Indian
Princess "katonka." a sextet Of Pur.
itan maidens, with Miss Freda Kiser
as Mercy" and Misses Helen
Vaughn. Mabel Spalding, Vivian Nc
Cauley. Opal White and Helen An
drews. do their parts well and sing
several very enjoyable numbers.
Earl Woolf is at his best In the
character of Elder Brewster" the
father OF the colony. The parts OF
the young men of Plymouth are taken
by Joe Warner. Walter Miller and
Don Sanford.
In the double role of Plymouth
youth" and Erasmus" the soldier
OF fortune and Miles handy aide and
right bower. Don Sanford carries the
burden OF the comedy OF the play In

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Though those most interested in foot ball
pretend to believe that the changes in
the rules will do much to eliminate the
danger which has existed heretofore, it
will probably be found that If the same
methods of defense and offense are drill
ed into the players the game will
have changed but little.
SO long IS men are taught to use the
straight arm in warding off tacklers by a
blow with the heel of the hand and
coached to resort to certain holds and
twists, so long will there be danger, and
the new rules do not eliminate these
practices.
Just so long as the players resort to
means to weaken or disable opponents.
so long are there going to be accidents
and fatalities. Time VIII show that little
has been accomplished by the changes
in the rules, and should il be the games
misfortune to have the usual number of
accidents next season, 1t is a safe pre-
dction that the sport will be dealt a
death blow. Foot ball cannot be made
a parlor game and retain its following
1t is the element Of danger that seems
to appeal to its patrons, more than the
scientific end which really is mostly hid
den in the playing of the game.
Mcclure the amherst pitcher. who, to-
gether with his battery partner. Henry,
is apt to become member of the local
team, is, according to good judges. the
best college pitcher out this year Nc
Clure has his own ideas Of how he wants
to become a professional He thinks that
the man who made him, Coach Broken
ridge, is entitled to something for his serv-
ives and that he should be dealt with
by the club which desires his (McClures,
service, and Furthermore, he wants dis
battery partner to be given trial by the
same team which secures him.
But Mcclure seems we'll worth taking
chance with. On the occasion of his
last appearance he pitched a no-hit game
against Williams College and allowed but
twenty-eight men to face him. There is.
of course, a lot of difference between col
lege batsmen and big league swatters.
but any pitcher who can accomplish the
defeat of shutting a team OFT without al
lowing a hit has something in the way Of
curves and speed above the ordinary.

If old Jupiter Pluvius does not pay us

Wonder what's the matter with the
Trainmen They have not won game
so far and unless they make arrange
ments that they get their regular
team on the field and not a bunch of
subs, they are going to have hard time
of it. Only last week they had to forfeit
game to the Southern Railway team be-
cause they did not have a whole team on
the field, even with the teams substitutes,
and Manager Holland ought to try to
remedy this defect, as his team is being
used as stepping stone for the other
teams. There are several very good play
ers on this team and if they could only
get out in every game the Tranmen
would make the other teams in the
league sit up and take notice.
The schedule for this week is: Monday

ROWARDENNAN, Cal. May 23.-t is

for his being the worst roasted man who
ever trained for a championship battle.
Several of the coast papers have attacked
him bitterly. ne has been charged with
everything from framing the Fourth of
July fight to being in a panic from fright.
1t has been reported that he refuses TO
train and that he is buried in perpetual

find decrepit old man fed out of a
spoon as he trains for the worlds cham

ing faithfully and too vigorously if any
thing. He is in the pink of condition.
His unpopularity comes from the fact
that Jeffries absolutely declines to be a
hero
Probably no other big fighter ever train
ed under similar conditions. The hotel at

better support, and his catcher would
unQuestionably be of much more assist
ance TO him, thus almost offsettng the
difference in the caliber of batsmen he
would be asked to face.
Despite the fact that every one inter-
ested in the JeffresJ ohnson hight de-
clares that Jeffries is a s good as he ever
was, it must be taken into considera-
ton that most of these individuals have
Interior motives in making such state
ments. 1t is. perhaps, true that JeHrles
has regained all his old speed ana
strength. but before one should place a
bet on this proposition it would be Wen
TO await a trif1e more reliable dope than
that spread by those who have hnah-
cial interest in the contest
Corbett will be in Jeffries' camp before
long and he has fEomised to tell the
truth about Jeffries. Having fought nm
twice. Corbett will be able to get pretty
good line on Jeffries when he boxes with
him. Corbett saw Jeffries when he was
a novice and when he was at MS very
best. Being keen individual, Corbett
will be able to size up the former cham
pion, and as he takes great pride IN MS
own opinions he may tell us just what
sort OF shape Jeffries is in.
OF all the seasoned players that the
Washington club has secured from other
major league clubs since its advent into
the American League none has done so
much to help the team as Kid Elberfeld.
He is the one player secured who mas
displayed as much ability, If not more,
than he ever possessed before, and his
purchase has undoubtedly proven SPLEEN
did investment.
But what long list there is of play
ers turned over by other clubs to Wash
inston who have proven absolute failures
and finding it difficult to hold their
own in high-class minor league COM
pany. Go back to the Irst year of the
American League, and from that time TO
the present every season has seen the
local team made the last stopping place
for some Worn-out star. AS the team is
now made up it would require only
the addition of a few good young ball
players to make the team really high
class aggregation, and the club should
direct all its energy in an effort to Sc
cure such material. 1t is of course no
easy task. and years may be spent be-
fore anything is accomplished, but it is
nevertheless worth the while and eX-
penSe.
Players of the Elberfeld type are not
to be secured every year for love or
money. 1t was a peculiar state Of al
fairs that brought Elberfeld here, and
nothing did so much to make him a
valuable man as the fact that he wanted
to play in this city.
