Ralston's Why.

Doc Palston. the Nationals outffelder,
plays a pretty fair game at third base.
Indeed. he used to play there once.
Il played third for Wheeling three
years ago." explains Ralston. That
was the team that had 120 players In
one season. Hoblitzel. of the Reds, was
on first base, and I finished the season
there. Why did 1 take to the 0utfeld ?
Well, I don't intend playing ball all
my days, and third base is a tough
place on a mans fingers. I'm n den
tist and for that profession you heed
good fingers. Realizing that, I switched
to the outfield; so you might say that
being a dentist made me an outficlder "

Consider the bIeacherites!

J. T. Jones, one of the steady patrons
of the Washington ball club, writes me
to make the decidedly sensible sugges-
ton that, in the improvements at Ma
tional park the bleacherites should re-
ceive consideration by having at least
one aisle built through the uncovered
stand in right field.
He points out the fact that late COM
ers can only obtain seats by climbing
over those who are in early, and that
much Of the pleasure of seeing the game
is spoiled by the simple failure to have
such runways as there are in the other
stands.
Those who watch the games from the
bleachers are among the most consist
ent supporters of baseball, and the pow
ers that be in the club could make
much greater mistake than seeing that
everything possible should be done for
the convenience and safety of the sun

So lively has been the interest among
the amateur grapplers of this city and

and there promises to be some mighty
interesting sport before the different

the annual meeting of the organization.
While there are number of minor
questions to be settled, the real business
before the gathering will be the selec-

came here last summer. but now Bos-

Because OF the strong campaign being
waged by the metropolitan oarsmen, it
now looks as though Saratoga will land

Boston will probably be the favorite.

At the Opera House.

The new pictures and the vaudeville
that greeted the patrons of the Opera
house yesterday afternoon and again
in the evening were of pleasing
variety and seemed to have met the
approval of the big audiences. The
vaudeville which will be seen again
this afternoon and evening consists of
some excellent singing and good
clever comedy. The rich tenor voice
of William Robbins captivated those
present and no such singing has been
heard in this house since the last APP
pearance of Andrew Mack. The work
of the clever soubrette, Lydia Trena-
men, with Mr.. Robbins added lustei
to the turn, and their number, The
Serenade," gives them ample oppor-
tunity for effective vocal work. A
roaring comedy sketch, Watch the
Cigarette" as performed by Brown
and Farlardeau is a piece of humoi
that draws we'll wherever presented
The pictures are of unusual merit

merit will be seen at the Opera House
on Friday evening, Nov. 3. when The
Beauty Spot" by Reginald Dekoven
and Joseph w. Herbert, comes TO this
city with Frank Deshor in the lead
ing role.
This musical play which ran for a
whole wear at the Herald Square Thea

of its kind In novelty, wit and melody
In the book and lyrics Mr.. Herbert
has put vulgarity behind him and
makes his appeal to the healthy
minded.
The score, by Mr.. Del<oven, is in a
lighter mood than is his wont, which
means that the play will please every
theatre-goer. His aim is enriched by
the waltz numbers, THE Boulevard
Glide" and THE Gobble Glide which
have been so much in vogue lately.
and which will be two of the special
features of the performance.
The management has embellished
the piece with every possible touch
known to the art of staging musi-
cal comedy. The scenes are rich In
color and design representing a bath
ing resort in the South of France ara

DENVER AFTER MANY BIG
SPORTING EVENTS in 1911

DENVER, Jan. 10-Denver is out for
big game in the sport world, and if tho
several campaigns now under way are
successful this city will be the scene OF
some of the most important events in
the 1911 sporting calendar.
Denver first of all is seeking the
western golf championship tournament,
the biggest thing of its kind in the
United States, and when the Western
Golf association meets in Chicago on
January 81 Frank l.. Woodward Of the
Denver Country club will be on the
ground to present the claims of this
city. If he succeeds in landing the prize
the best golfers in America will be
seen here during the year.
a. E. Mckenzie is at the head of
the movement to have Denver selected
as the place for holding the 1911
grand American handicap shoot, the
banner event of the trap shooting
world. He already has funds enough
to insure the successful handling Of
the event and all that remains is TO
induce the eastern marksmen to come
this far west.
