Leach Cross. the local lightweight, did
not make any new friends by his I'M
sportsmanlike methods in the Young Jack
oBrien match. For some strange reason
the referee. Dan Tone by name. permitted
him TO do about as he pleased during the
mill, with the result. that Cross managed
to get a shade better than a draw with
The Kid brother of the famous Philadel-
phia Jack.
Had the bout been conducted along the
ines laid down by Marquis of Queensberry
rules O'Brien would have been awarded
the verdict on a foul. Not once, but a
aozen times Leach deliberately fouled his
opponent O'Brien. on the other hand, did
not once resort To questionable tactics In
retaliation, although majority OF the

done so. for II was evident from the
start that he was not in shape.
= The first man up, Williams, hit for
three bags after accepting two strikes,
and scored on Johnson's sacrifice ny.
Then for two innings Charlie passed
them out in one-two-threo order.
But, Mt that point. the tide swept al
most everything along. Strain passed
his old team mate. Boehling. on four
pad ones. He died at second on
Longs choice and Long scored on
Spencer's three-bagger. while Spencer
Tailed on the single blffed out by
Shanks. and Shanks came in on Walk

hitting that was made. or they might

score indicates. Here is the story In

"A Lucky Hoodoo" is comic

1t Is also. strictly what is known

Billy b. Van Is a whole show in
himself. His every movement and
every word, almost. means a laugh,
But there are some lines scattered
throughout the piece that might well
be omitted. THE Lucky Hoodoo"
could run 10 the last curtain without
a suggestive word or line or action,
and II Is quite likely that II will so
run all the remainder OF the week.
Van is one of the best comedians
on the musical COMEDY stage, and in
this production he has food support.

Whether it is that a musical feature
is the greatest magnet in vaudeville
bills. or that Pietro. the wizard OF the
accordion. who yesterday featured
the new weeks bill at the Empire, Is
one Of the most sensational musical
artists that has appeared here. the
fact remains that the 1.-the and intel
lectual appearing Italian scored a hit
last night at the Empire. From the
moment he began playing the classic
The Bridal Roses" even to the popu-
lar "Everybody's DOM It," the APP
plause that greeted his every num-
Der used up quite as much time as
the lengthy musical program he Of
fered. Without doubt he will draw a
crowd to the Empire during the week.
Advance notices proclaiming Ger
trude Dudley as a worthy successor
to Mildred Grover, who created a hit
here u few weeks ago. were modest.
to say the least. In addition to Miss
Dudley being quite comparable to
Miss Grover as a prima donna, her
accompanied on the piano is q con-
cert performer of himself. and her
success was correspondingly great.
Work and Over as glymnasts are
supreme. They must be supreme.
