says that every time he looked around
he saw one some where else. One pre-
sided at the score board, one held the
score book, and another did some vo-
ciferous roofing from the bleachers.
Louie missed one of them, and inquiry
revealed that poor Joe was confined to
his home by illness. He is quite re-
covered today, the vivid account of the
bowling series having revived him.
Just take a peek at Salzmann's
scores. He starts out with 213. He
had 13S in the fifth frame of that game
and then fell down till the first frame
OF the last game when he proceeded to
lay 'em in again: Another strike in
the last game would have given him
high score.
Nary another Colt was fractions last
night, all pursuing the even tenor of
their ways without smashing any
high records.
Louis Harms had a little hard luck
in his third game, or he would have
hung up some high scores. Two i'm
possible "schlitses."
Lift came down a few pegs and
dropped his average while Salzmann
boosted his a peg or two.
Soule was the high Independent
Roantree failed to go over 500, and
what Huston did is ancient history.
The Pretzels rolled anyhow last
night, and Brandt hung up a $50 score,
Roy Collins OF the Athletics went un
der that by one point. Roy showed
class in his third game and clouted the
timber for 235 pins.
Some one says that the Athletics are
going out and shake the bushes lit
tie bit and round up a whole quinte
OF bowlers.
The race for the top is not so poor
still. Only three games margin for the
Colts. There are still 10 series on the

AT M'VICkERS.

H. B. Warner in alias Jimmy
Valentine is proving to be one of
the greatest successes which Nc
Nicker's theatre, Chicago, has known
during it's long and most prosperous
career. Mr.. Warner himself has
made a most favorable impression by
the sincerity of his acting, the at
Effectiveness of his personality and
the genuine talent shown through the
long and difficult role he enacts.
Nothing but praise of the highest
sort can be given the supporting
members of the company. For once
this season every paper in Chicago is
unanimous not alone over the merits
of alias Jimmy Valentine" but OF
the unusual and exceptional ability
of the assisting players. The engage
ment at McVicker's will still have
two weeks to run commencing next
Sunday, with the usual Wednesday
and Saturday matinees. The out-of-
town interest in the engagement is
particularly strong as the play will
not be seen in Chicago or the west
at the conclusion of the McVicker
engagement Mr. Warner and the
company open in Boston for the bal
ance of the season on Easter Mon
day.

1.-THE Gamblers" last seasons most
successful serious drama in New
York, which recorded a remarkable
ruin of over 200 consecutive perform
ances at Maxine Elliott's theatre,
comes to the Illinois next Sun
day night under the manage
ment of The Authors Produc-
ing company, Of which John
Cort is president. In this gripping
play by Charles Klein, author of The
Music Master The Lion and the
Mouse" THE Third Degree" Mag
gle Pepper" and others of merit, the
story arises out of the operations of
one Wilbur Emerson, who, with sew
eral others associated with him in the
banking business, uses the money of
their depositors in an effort to fight
the several larger banks which are
endeavoring to crush them. All this
would be very we'll but for the fact
that Emerson has gotten his father
to endorse certain notes without tell
ing him of the real purpose to which
he intends to put them, and if he
were not very fond of Mrs. Darwin,
the wife of the prospective lawyer
for the district attorney. Emerson
hears of the fact that Darwin intends
to set the federal wheels working in
time to save everybody's skin, for he
has borrowed enough money to pay
back the notes. Unfortunately, one
of the directors has lost his nerve
and turned states evidence. Before
this is discovered Emerson turns uI
cards with his associates to decide
which must go to Jail to save the
others, and asserting misdeal he
claims the card that would have fall
len to his father. 1t is only of hi:
father that he is thinking at this
time, because the elder Emerson
knew nothing of the transaction. And
so, when he discovers that Cowpel
has left a full confession and the
notes at Darwin's house he makes UP
his mind to go after them there a.
once. Darwin has left for Washing
ton, and Emerson making his way in
to the house by means of ruse, i:
discovered in the library, where h,
has gone to look for Cowper's letter
by Mrs. Emerson. Then Darwin re
turns and finds the two, as he sup
poses, in position that arouses hi
unjust suspicion. In the scene which

opportunity to gauge the relativ
value of the two men, and after Oar

citation of her husband.

Stiffness has reached the point OF &C
tual wrong with a French artist
whom another injured husband has
killed few days before. The wife
admits her guilt and the husband in
cold rage orders her to leave the
house instantly, notifies her that he
will divorce her, and tells the two
children, in her presence, the reason
for his action. The rage of the
daughter is equal to that of the
father and the two leave the room
together, leaving the broken-hearted
woman sobbing on couch. But
back to her comes the son, the care
less, spoiled, supposedly vicious son,
and bending over her, he says quite
simply, well, mother, where1l we
go?" So the son and the mother go
away together and the son, made
| into a man by stress that comes into
his life, saves the threatened scandal,
and by calling in the aid of the fam
| lily doctor and working up a cough,
persuades every one to believe that
lac and his mother go to Denver for
| the sake of his health. There is a
love interest in the play. The boy
is in love with a girl artist but it is
the devotion of the boy to his mother
that makes the play. Besides Mr..
Ross, the cast includes such we'll
known players as Mary Ryan, Lizzie
Hudson Collier, Nina Herbert, Alice
Putnam, Campbell Gollan, Fay Wal
lace, Henry Weaver, Juhn junior and
others.
