Felix Edwards, who rehearsed the

that he never wants to stage another

When the wonen of the play ap-
peared on the stage in their wide,
swinging hoop-skirts it was impos-
sible for them to play their intimate
scenes with the other women because
they couldn't get near each other.
In most of the scenes a character,
for example, had been rehearsed to
take so many steps in a certain di-
rection and then halt. Well. this
didn't work at all. When the player
took the number of steps we had
rehearsed he or she came into col
lision with a skirt.
And the scenery! To our horror
the first entrance of Miss Simpson,
the old maid, was considerably de-

The efforts of three girls to live

"Girls,'' the delightful comedy uc-
cess which will be presented at the
Orpheum Theatre next week. In re-
calling the works of Clyde Fitch, since

In drawing feminine types it is well

SHEEP OWNER
is FOUND DEAD in VAT

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Aug. 81
Solomon Luna, for the last sixteen
years Republican national commit
teeman from New Mexico, the largest
individual owner of sheep in the
Southwest, and the States richest
citizen, was found dead at his ranch,
seventy-five miles west of Magdalena,
Soeoro county.
The body was discovered in a sheep
dipping vat, and was so badly
burned in the lime solution as to be
almost unrecognizable.
Details received show that Mr..
Luna's death resulted either from
heart failure or a stroke of apoplexy,
and not from foul play, as at first
suspected.

Dispatches from Madrid, N. Y, tell

a farmer of that village, in finding
a chest of buried gold coins while
tearing down an old colonial build

the coins is said to be in excess of

MUELLER WANTS A JOB
Rargy First Raseman Who Tried
Out With the Indians Last

Again.

JOY and sorrow were brought to the
Keokuk camp Saturday on the same
mail The rejoicing came with the
star youngster of the Indian tribe, has
deserted the holdout colony. while
the sorrow manifested itself with the
news that Pitcher Tod Sloan has sue
ceeded to Bresnhan's holdout berth
and does not feel like relinquishing his
claim to it until the K. B. A. comes
across with more of that purchasing
stuff.
The news that Bresnahan was a.
holdout was kept mighty quiet by. the
local club. Connie was one of the
fastest men on the Keokuk club last
season, and worked intermittenly at
third and in the outfield. What will
be done with him this season is still
question. Some baseball experts are
keep away from the infield because
he has not the proper temperament.
They declare an outfield berth is
more natural for him. He batted well
and promises to be star in the COM
ing pennant chase
Tod Sloan was picked up about the
middle of the season, coming from
one of the "blow-up' leagues out west.
He worked with success here and soon
came to be one of the most dependa-
BILE pitchers on the club. Tod does
not want to sign unless he can draw
good salary just a little more than
the Keoltuk club can afford to pay
under the $1,000 limit.
at was announced Saturday that
Ted Mueller, the rangy first baseman,
is seeking another tryout with the
Indians. Mueller lives in st. Louis
and reported here during the playing
season last year. He remained for
only a week, and was so hampered
by sprained ankle that he was of no
use to the club. He returned to ST.
Louis and did not return Mueller is
built somewhat along the lines Of
Hughey Miller but is trifle heavier.
He has not the speed of Miller and
has not the future, according to the
belief here, but at the same time
might develop into a classy c. A.
player. He probably will be reported
by Keokuk.

journed southwark to condition them

north has such weather been exper-
fenced. Managers are in despair.
From all baseball camps comes the
cry that. with the training season half
over. the men are not well started.
Managers realize that indoor exer-
else lis not conducive to conditioning a
player. Only hard, open air work can
accomplish it. Pitchers afraid to try
out their arms, lack OF snap in field
er's work; batting practice at stand
still-all these are attributed to the
havoc created by the rain at the var
ious grounds.
The players are also fretting over
their inactivity. The easy life OF the
winter has shown the need of hard
work and they are anxious for it-not
only to condition themselves but also
to work off the charley horses and
the stiffness and soreness that usually
appear after the first few hours Of
training.
Two week. more and the teams will
start north. Managers are praying
for Old Sol to come out of hiding. A
