ACTORS JEALOUS
OF BALL PLAYERS
SUCCESS ON VAUDEVILLE STAGE
sTlRs UP OPPOSITION AMONG
MEN OF THE THEATRICAL
PROFESSION.

New York, Jan. 21.-A story reached
here from Chicago and was widely dis
cussed at Broadway resorts that the
success of numerous ball players on
the theatrical stage this winter has
stirred up determined opposition
among legitimate vaudeville perform
ers who are planning to have the dia-
mond stars barred from further en-
gagements. Christy Mathewson, Chief
Meyers. Joe Tinker, King Cole Jimmy
Callahan, Doc White and other well
known major leaguers are drawing
big salaries this winter for short acts
or monologues in leading cities. Some
of them particularly Matty and his Tn
dian catcher, have overshadowed
vaudeville performers i'm the struggle
for popularity, which has caused much
professional jealousy, IT is said and
has prompted members of the White
Rats to take steps to keep all ball
players out Of the business hereafter.
According to the story which was
discussed here the White Rats may
within thirty days decide to increase
the initiation fee To 500 with the un-
Outstanding that baseball players or
other persons identified with any sport
shall be prevented membership cards,
the ball tossers will find themselves
out I'm the cold as theatrical managers
will not care to make a fight in their
behalf.
Ball players monopolize the public
i'm summer and receive ample pay for
their services" say those who are i'm
sympathy with the "legtimates." 'Then
why should they encroach upon the
preserves of the vaudeville actors and
actresses in the winter?"
Friends of the players. on the other
hand, see no reason why they shouldn't
pick up little soft money" between
seasons and point to their popularity
with the theatergoing public as rea l.
son why they should not be molested.

Just as soon as he learned that VOL

he did not hesitate To let the cham
pion know that he was good and huffy
because O'Brien had slipped one over

sign up for the three battles which
will bring him $1,000. Furthermore,
the portly manager says he will knock

PHlLLIES VS.. DETROIT.
Series of Games To Be Played lr
South Planned.

Philadelphia, Penn. Jan. 21.-Horace
Fogel, president OF the Phillies, has re-
ceived letter from President Navin,
of the Detroit American League Base
ball Club suggesting a series of games
in the South between the Phillies and
Tigers during the spring practice. Mr..
Fogel replied, asserting to the PROPOSE
ton.
The Phillies will train at Birming-
ham, Ala. and the Detroits will get
into condition at Monroe, La. The two
cities are about $40 miles distant.
Mr.. Navin suggested that the teams
meet i'm a series of five games at Bir-
mingham and Monroe. Mr.. Foge in
his reply expressed his pleasure at the
opportunity for an inter-league clash
and intimated that as Birmingham is
the larger of the two cities. it might
be more satisfactory and profitable TO
play three of the games there. He is
now awaiting an answer from Mr..
Navin and the schedule doubtless will
be arranged within a few days.

VILLAGE TREASURER BUSY.

Village Treasurer Michael Jaerling
and assistant, Miss Kate Torreano, are
busy this week sending statements to
taxpayers who have not settled their
accounts with the village so far. Mr..
Jearling has secured special perqnis-
sion from the county treasurer TO re-
tain possession OF the tax roll until
the end Of the present month, so that
tho present delinquent list may be re-
duced If possible. The Laurium de-
linquent list is the largest of any VII
lage in the county. and considerably
larger than for a number Of years. 1t
is estimated that almost 200 residents
of the village have neglected to pay
their taxes so far this year and as the
time for payment has expired some
time, they are fortunate in having an
other opportunity to settle their ac-
counts without the extra collection fee
which will be assessed after the books
are turned over to the county treas

New York, Jan. 21.-August Herr
mann of the Cincinnati club, who was
recently appointed a member of the
National league rules committee, has
sent to President Lynch his reslgna-
ton as a member of that committee.
mir. Hermann in his letter of res
ignation assigns me no reason for his
withdrawal" said Mr. Lynch today.
but | take IL for granted that he has
good and sufficient one and therefore
| have accepted the same. Every one
who is interested In the progress Of
the game will regret Mr. Herrmann's
withdrawal from such an important
assignment.
After comforting with President
Johnson of the American league, am
of the opinion that there is no neces-
sity for making changes in the play
ing rules. This committee. however,
will be called upon to recommend the
official ball to be used after 1911,
which is matter of great importance
to the National league.

NEW LOCKS AT 500.
Fourth One is Badly Needed, Says
William Livingstone.

"The commerce of the Great Lakes
pend upon the present facilities at the
500" declares President william Liv-
ingstOne Of the Lake Carriers, In his
annual report
while work upon the third lock is
progressing favorably there should be
no cessation OF the campaign for a
fourth. The time is rapidly approach
ing when every inch Of available space
to the international line viii be needed
for locks. It has also been suggested
10 the Canadian government that ad-
ditional lockage facilities are needed
upon that side"
Delays in the construction Of the
new Livingstone channel are declared
TO be annoying.
"This particular stretch is the most
congested piece Of waterway I'm the
world" says the report 1T bears
traffic that averages 225 tons for every
minute OF the "a hours during the
whole season Of navigation"
Regarding the strike of lake sea-
men, the report says
THE policy Of open shop has been
in operation throughout the year and
opposition to it has practically ceased"
1t is declared that a far better class
of men, more sober and steadier, are
being obtained without the slightest
trouble The operation Of the welfare
plan is lauded a great success and the
members of the committee having il
i'm charge are praised. At the close of
the season Of 1910 the number enrolled
in the welfare plan was 14,34S.
President Livingstone declares that
the past season has been a disappoint-
ing one. Business for the 'indepen-
dents" those owners who are forced
10 depend upon wild cargoes, has been
Improbable. 1t was early apparent
that the surplusage Of ships existed
and the scheme of laying up a percen-
! tage of the tonnage was tried to brinc
relief. The lake levels also were low
and ships were unable to load so deep
ly very often. notwithstanding these
obstacles the movement of ore in June
broke all records.
The one redeeming feature Of III,
trade" says the report. +" was the re
storation of the ore rate to the basis OF
1907, or IS cents from the head o.
the lakes"
The grain trade also was a disap-
pointment.

Warming the EGGS.

There was once an old lady In
Scotland who kept a few hens. AS
she lived close to the house in which
a church minister lived. he asked her
to send him two new-laid eggs every
morning. and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs. and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm. as
II they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs we're cold. so
the servant asked: Are the eggs
fresh today. Janeyf They do not
seem warm"
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said: "Ou. ay. they're quite
fresh, only my mother could not get
the cat to SIT on them this morn'r%
