MACK BOOTED THIS ONE.

Jimmy lavender. the pitcher on
whom Chanc pins most of his hope in
battering the Giants position. at one
time belonged to the Athletics. Con-
ME Mack had an option on Lavender
when Jimmy was a member Of the
Danville club in 1907. He did not
think enough of him to exercise the
option and sent him to holyoke in the
Connecticut league. Connie did not
even see Lavender before sending him
out. If he had him now the Athlet-
les could be considered certain con-
tenders. The pitching staff is the
weakness of the world champions.
Lavender was born in Georgia. near
the home Of Ty Cobb. He is 26 years
old.

Chicago. Aug. 3l.-Chicago gained
a full game on New York by
defeating st. Louis 5 to 4 in a hard
fought battle while the New York
club lost to Brooklyn S to Z. Four
games now separate the two leaders
in the race for the pennant. The To-
calls took an early lead against st.
Louis today by punching hits, but this
was soon lost as a result of loose
playing by the home team. A triple
two bases on balls. a sacrifice fly and
two wild pitches again put Chicago
in the lead and Schulte's twelfth
home run of the season in the sev-
enth inning cinched the game. St.

in the last inning but could not over
take their opponents.

work as a dramatist, Leo Ditrichstein is
a contradiction Of the public's idea of an
actor. Mr.. Ditrichstein has come into
his own at last. for his conception of
the role of Gabor Arany, in David Belas-
co.'s production of THE Concert Is said
to stamp him as one of our greatest
actors.
Mr. Ditrichstein adapted this comedy
from the German at the request Of David
Belasco, and when he began the task he
had no idea he would now be playing the
chief character in 1t. As the work OF
translation progressed he became i'm
bued with the spirit, of the play. When
he finished his task and turned the COM
pleted manuscript over to Mr.. Belasco he
said to him:
THE role of Arany, the musician, is a
strong one. and the man who plays 1t
will have to endOw it with considerable
