suit of clean baseball, but the other
two were presented to Monmouth by
iGrogan and Sloan, the former throw
ing the ball away and allowing run
ner to score and the pitcher failing
| to cover first on a grounder that gave
Wray a chance to pull offsa phenom-
email stop. Had Sloan covered the
bag, the man would have been an
easy out, but as 1t was 1t gave the
visitors the necessary life to drive in
a run.
Both pitchers worked in great
shape, not man being passed until
the ninth inning when Burge slipped
four wide ones to Hilly, but it did no
damage for Queisser hit into double
play that stopped all chances that the
Indians had for score.
It was bad day for Grogan and
WEIGH, who had two boots each while
Kelly and Neer got into the last col
umn by juggling one apiece. Grogan
could not get a grip on the ball all
day and when he fielded 1t, 1t was al
ways question where he would
throw.
Monmouth opened the game in the
second with a triple by Lage. Neer
hit to Sloan, who retired him at first,
holding Artie on third WEIGH scored
the backstop with a single to left.
Irmscher sent him UP peg by hit
to "Punkin" Jones' territory, but the
third-sacker was caught at second
when Lund hit to Kelly, who threw
to Grogan. The latter heaved the
bali to Wray. or rather in that direc-
ton. and the pill rolled to the Keo-
kuk bench, allowing WEIGH to score
and putting Lund on second. Burge
could not connect and was out on a
grounder to Wray.
The Browns gathered one more in
the sixth when Lage. who had tripled
to center, was sacrificed to second
by Neer and scored IN Welch's hit to
Wray. TIE ball was hit hard and
Wray dived for It and speared It with
his meat hand in plenty of time to
catch WEIGH at first but Sloan was
standing looking at the play and
made no effort to cover the bag.
Lage sneaked in on the play.
Keokuk's lone run was counted IN
the second on Jones triple to center,
followed by .Hilly's single to the
same garden. Burge held them safe
ly after this.

performance in London on a recent even

years ago. OF the remarkable record It
has made the author. Brandon Thomas
says: of an old lady behaving in this
way at her age, anything amazing may
be expected"
Daniel Frohman thinks that the peril
confronting the American dramatist is
not neglect. Manuscripts" he says,
ARE eagerly examined with a view to
finding the great play that every
manager is looking for. The trouble
is that there are so many theaters
there will naturally be less discrlm-

Marc Klaws Of the American theatre
cal syndicate. says that the reason for
the lack Of success of many English
theaters is the rigid rule requiring
evening clothes, the tremendous free
list, and the fact that the English
player caters to few fashionables In
the stalls instead of the red-blooded
public OF London.
