RALPH. HEhz PLEAStS IN
 IN ROLE OF DIR. DE LUX

Ralph Herz renewed Bridgeport ac- quaintances auspiciously last evening in his appearance in "Dr. De Luxe" at the Park Theatre. A fashionable audience greeted the popular comed- ian. Surrounded by a well chosen company MT. Herz got the humorous atmosphere of this Hauerbach & Hos chna musical play into his audience so we'll that he who failed to enjoy the piece must be confirmed grouch.
 Herz appears as a discharged Belle vue patient, who gets employment as manicure in dog and cat empor- ium, and on his first mission outside the shop is mistaken for a physician. The complications are novel and ar ranged with more sequence than char acterizes the average musical play. Herz is given ample scope for the ex- ercise of his humorous idiosyncracies.
 Several musical numbers met with rousing receptions. Particularly was this so last evening of When the Old Top Hummed', sung, by Rena Santos The musical hit of the show, "For Every Boy Who's Lonely, There's a

EASTERN LEAGUE WANTS
 TO CHANGE ITS NAME On Account of Two Canadian Cities Would Like to be

When the Eastern League men go into session on Monday in the Vic- toria Hotel, New York, President Barrow will submit a proposition to the magnates to change the name of the organization to the International League, name more representative of the circuit than Eastern League. Two Canadian cities-Toronto and Montreal-are in the Eastern League, and Barrow believes that as. the or ganization is about to be advanced to the special class "AA" along with the American Association, the time is now propitious for the change to a more appropriate name. So far as known there will be no objections to the change by either the National or

grammar school course and is now ready to play successful varsity foot ball for Pennsylvania.
 '-One word more. In order that you and the public may have an accurate idea of the coaching system at Penn. I would say that the advisory board of coaches and the general board of coaches are two separate bodies.
 'The duties of the former consist in meeting regularly and deciding upon systems or styles of play to be used in offence and defence, and to decide each week just what plays or parts of these systems shall be taught to the team during that week. The ad- visory board also decides in a general way the plan of the weeks work as to the teaching of the so-called rudi- ments of football-tackling falling on being decided upon, the field coach is then directed to instruct the team in detail in the daily practice upon the field.
 .'In other words, the advisory board has to do only with coaching plans and systems, and not at all with in- dividuals.
 ''The general board of coaches is composed of coaches whose duty it is to teach individual men how to play their positions, and except as the playing of these positions has to do With the general system these coaches have nothing whatever to do in de- ciding what plays or system shall be used or when they shall be taught to the players. They do, however, have absolute control in deciding what men are most proficient in playing in dividual positions, and therefore what men shall enter games
 ''The field coach has absolute con- trol on the fed as to general coach ing-tackling, interference, Sc. = and teaches the players teamwork plays, systems, &tc., but has absolutely no right to instruct an individual in play ing his position unless he himself is an individual coach of that position. For instance, a field coach has abso- lutely no authority to change or even instruct guard or tackle how to play his position if he himself has never been a guard or tackle. AS to your information concerning the position of chairman of the advisory committee, I have but a few words to say. This position having to do with the strate- gy and organization, and having noth- ing whatever to do with field coaching or the development of the players, the presence of the chairman upon the field of play is purely a matter of choice. On the field the fled coach is absolute.

 Life.l The outlook sure was dismal for Mack's great nine that day. With the score at one to nothing and just one round more to play; And then when Collins died at first and walked back with frown, There was gloom in every gesture of the fans from Quakertown. The Gotham bugs were leaving, for they thought the. game was won; Didn't Matty, peerless Matty, have 'em stopped without run? Then a silent youth named Baker came to bat and toed the plate, His eagle eye was gleaming and his batting poise was great. But Matty. peerless Matty had pre- dicted what he'd do To this same Baker fellow, for his weakness sure he knew. There'd be no repetition of ball knocked from the yard, For twas Matty who was pitchin', not the rattle-brained Marquard. So Matty, peerless Matty. signaled Meyers, and touched his hat, w nIlG hS WOuAQ up TUT Cn0 ldQ6- away" with Baker at the bat. The ball tore straight across the plate and Matty's grin was wide, For the "fade-away' was workin' Strike one," the umpire cried sTn sneak a fast one over now and make it number two.'' Thought Matty, as the horsehide to- ward the waiting Baker flew. The rest is better left unsaid, 'tis sad when we recall
 That over near the Polo Grounds they still hunt for the ball. For Baker, mighty Baker, with a sure and deadly aim,
 Has knocked another homer and the crowd has gone insane. His teammates fall on Matty in an- other round or two, And the game comes back to Philly by a score of three to two. Oh! somewhere they still sell gold bricks to simple country folk, And love to spring that poor, old, worn-out sleeping city" joke. And somewhere little "glooms" abide, while busy spielers hawk, But they never mention Bakers name in little old Moo Yawk. Oh.

JAPANESE TREATY
WAS RATIFIED
Baron Uchida Gives Assurance OF
immigration Control.
WESTERN SENATORS OISpLEASED
President Taft Was Active In Assur-
Ing the California Members That
Their Interests Were
Guarded.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The new
japanese treaty recently signed by
Secretary Knox and Baron Uchida
has been ratified by the United
States senate.
When the treaty was signed Am
bassador Uchida made the following
declaration:
I'm proceeding this day to the sigma
ture Of the treaty Of commerce ana
navigation between Japan and the
United States, the undersigned Jap
anese ambassador in Washington
duly authorized by his government
has the honor to declare that the
Imperial. Japanese government are
full prepared to maintain with equal
effectiveness the limitation and con-
troll which they have for the past
three years exercised In regulation OF
the emigration Of laborers to the
United States.
(Signed) Y. UCHlDA.
February 81, 1911"
The objection to the convention
mas consistently been that it did not
throw sufficient safeguards around
the immigration Of Japanese to the
United States. Opposition was made
to 1t by the people Of California and
by their state legislature and by the
people Of the Pacific coast states gen
orally.
The western senators with the ex-
ception perhaps Of Senator Perkins
and Flint, who are from California,
were in favor Of going slow until a
full explanation should have been by
administration officials and the tenn
per Of the people Of the west had
been fully ascertained.
President Taft personally pushed
the ratification Of the treaty by his
assurances to the governor Of Call
fornia that the matter Of immigration
was covered by the Japanese declara-
ton which appears above and which
has been declared by other authori'
ties to be inefficient.
The treaty was taken up for the
third time in the senate and after
two hours discussion ratified.
The western senators who had con-
tinuously opposed the treaty, re-
luctanty voted for 1t 1t is understood
while not surrendering any Of their
opinions that grave consequences
might ensue from this peculiar docu-
ment.
The sole basis for the belief that
immigration is safe guarded is the
personal statement for his govern
ment Of Baron Uchlda. This was
deemed sufficient certainly by the
president and state department and
the president was active In his efforts
to impress the California legislature
with his view Of the treaty's eftici-
ency and suiticiency.
