Just as Tully Marshall held all
the honors when The City" was
first produced. SO does Ogden
Crane take a bit of luster away
from the recognized star in THE
Roundup" which opened three
nights engagement at the Taco
ma theater last evening. The
stirring western play came back
to be welcomed by well filled
house, and there isn't a dull mo-
ment in the four acts. The big
scene in the third act, wherein a
band of Cherokees are engaged in
battle with troops, is realistic to
the limit and brought down the
house. Macklyn Arbuckle is the
same old Slim Hoover, sheriff,
and the supporting company, on
the whole, is good. Miss Grace
Beham as Echo Allen is the only
Earring note in the piece and falls
far short of the demands of the
character. Ethel Won Waldron is
capital as Polly Hope, and Ogden
Crane raises the part of the half
breed heavy" to almost stellar
dignity. 1t is worth the price to
witness and enjoy the work of this
capable, painstaking character
actor.
Owing to the extreme midday
heat in Equatorial Africa, all the

films deep in the earth to protect
them from melting. These now

tive of any ever taken, will be

DOPE UPSET IN
MAJOR LEAGUES
PENNANT HUNTS
By Damon Runvon.

II ASEBALL has way of in
* variably upsetting all prog
nostications. The only sure
thing about the game is that 1t will
always be different from what is
expected. After the hairline finish
in the National league last season
It was generally believed that the
1912 race in the older organization
would be a thrilling affair, while
the American league campaign was
figured as simply an uninteresting
parade. with the Athletics in the
band wagon showing the way
Many fans believed that the
Giants were lucky in winning the
pennant in the National and that
the PhilMes, the Pirates and the
Cubs would give them a terrible
battle this season. They also be-
heved that the Athletic band would
run its opponents off their feet
early in the game and have the
pennant cinched early in the sea-
son.
Hard Fight in Younger League.
In other words, II seemed certain
that the National league would
again afford all the excitement,
while the American league race
would be tame and uninteresting.
Conditions are just reversed.
While most people are engaged in
figuring out just how far the
Giants will win. the Johnsonian
organization has settled down to a
hand-to-hand struggle with six
clubs in the melee.
John J. McGraw's club is now
believed to have better than a .
toll chance of repeating in the Ma
tional league, while 1t was hardly
even money at the close of the
1911 season. Connie Mack's dele
cation was considered a cinch at
any odds to win another pennant
in the American league this year,
particularly after the worlds series.
but now in the merry month of
June it is believed that he will have
the fight of his life to overhaul the
White and Red Sox He may do II
probably most fans believe he
will--but strong element of I'M
certainty has entered into the mat
ter.
Phllies BIG Disappointment
1t is a remarkable upsetting of the
dope The Phillies- supposedly
the Giants most dangerous foe
after last season-are nowhere,
The McGraw machine is far out in
front and the only other new SEN
sation of the National league-the
Cincinnati Reds-faded early.

YANKEES AND
GIANTS TOPLAY
ON SAME: YARD

FEW YORK, June lin this
~ sordid age of business a man
who wilfully closes his eyes
to an opportunity 1or doubling his
profits is usually regarded as a fit
candidate for the white house on
the hill" They may be born every
minute-but they are not so dense
as to stumble across a bundle of
yellowbacks without taking the
trouble to pick it up.
All of which is apropos of the
local baseball situation. Frank Far
rell has the privilege of playing
on the Polo grounds in the future.
President Brush is willing to share
the beautiful Brush stadium with
his rival promoter The sentiment
springs from no philanthropic in
stinct on the part of John T. He does
not intend to welcome the COMPETE
tor as a hallowed guest. With him
it is a plain business proposition
and consequently entails profit to
himself.
Brush stadium, the most gor-
ganized baseball, was conceived
after the old wooden stands at the
Polo grounds had been burned in
the spring of 1911. Erected Of re-
inforced concrete and steel, the
edifce proved corresponding cost
ly. Before the foundations were
laid Brush estimated s750000 ex-
penditure. 1t comes from excel
lent authority that the sum even
tually proved far greater. For I'M
scrupulous under officials-perhaps
the number should be held to a
singuar-taking advantage of Mr.
Brush's poor health let out con-
tracts irrespective of bids at self
profit and consequent disadvantage
to the owner of the Giants.
Yet, calculating the. cost Of
Brush stadium at no more than
$75O,0OO, we find Brush with
gigantic financial proposition on
his hands That sum, at the low
rate of per cent. would earn
$4,000 annually Before building
his remarkable plant it was nee
essary for the boss of the Giants
to take out a 80 years lease on his
grounds from the Coogan estate.
The rent is said TO be $4,000 a
year. Wherefore, before he makes
one cent profit on his investment
Brush must clear s7I500 each sea-
son That sum doesn't cut a great
figure to a promoter blessed with
such an aggregation as McGraw's
championship Giants Yet there
have been years-and they may
come again-when the Polo
grounders found little in the treas
ury after paying salaries. travel
ing expenses, rent and Office held
for a dull campaign.
Farrell pays $4,000 yearly rent
for the Hilltop. He got the prop
erty when it was practically val
ueless, on a ten years lease 1t
cost him considerable money to
convert a huge boulder into
playing field, so his rent altogeth-
er has not been as modest as the
lease figures would imply Mr..
Farrell's lease has almost expired.
It is up to him to move, Tor the
landlord will not listen to sane fig
ures The property that was made
valuable by the occupation of the
American league team isl low a
mighty fine real estate pro be1ition.
Brush has offered to rent his
stadium to Frank ]. Farrell. BY
such an arrangement both the
Giants and Hiohlanders would util-
ize the historic Polo grounds. Such
a plan would be quite feasible, for
there have been no local major
league conflicts for some years. 1t
is said that Brush is willing to
lease his grounds for half the rent
