THE PLAZA

The Brothers Byrne received a very hearty welcome from a big crowd of friends when they appeared at the Plaza last evening in their latest s'8 Bells novelty and two of their com pany, Pat Gamble and Izzy Scherman, old friends of the South End, who oc- cupied two whole boxes, with floral tributes and the presentation of hand some watch fobs. Their act is a merry meIange of acrobatic comedy and trick pantomime of the kind made familiar by these most famous American pan tomomfsts, and pleased yesterday s big audiences, young and old alike, nightly. The Three Bittners are seen in comedy-drama of real human in terest, entitled tsThe Waif,'' in which a very clever child actress especially wins favor, numerous curtain calls at testing appreciation of her dainty work Jentes & Roth contribute a jolly rathskelIef skit, in whiN1 a piano and violin and singer of good voice and ability to put over his songs for all they are worth form a very pleas ing combination. Pork Chops Evers is a bIackface comedian whose dro1- cry is spontaneous and of the kind that Keeps the big laughs coming. His parodies and other songs are all es- pecia11y good, and yesterday he found it difficult to convince his auditors that they had heard enough F1eFd Barnes scored strongly with his finely rendered xy1ophone playing, his popu- lar selections being played with bril- Iiarlcy and nice effects of light and shade; and King & Gee, two merry maids of melody in handsome cos tunes, quickly won favor by their ex- ceIent singing and dancing, their closing Indian song being given an ef- fective dramatic touch. The new mo- ton pictures are all particularly good; and the whole show is one which holds the closest interest from beginning to end.

GOOD SHOW AT
 LYRIC THEATRE
CHARLES ". BoWsER & CO, FOUR LADELLA COMIQUES AND ISLIEB TRIO
 PLEASE.

The offering for the last three days of this week as opening at the Fox Lyric Theatre last night was a riot Of action and clever conception. The only regret that can be expressed by a patron of this theatre that in offer ing so much that has attained Ehe height of vaudeville celebrity, is that to present the entire bill it must be curtailed somewhat and to a certain extent is thereby cheapened in the minds of many by the introduction of films to meet the popular taste

 The Four Lade1la Comiques do a lot of bumps and falls and some lightning tuknb1ing into grotesque situations Being comedians as well as athletes the audience rode with them. Katherine KIare in a Maggie Kline act embracing cycle of Irish songs and pretty changes, and Grundy and Lazzo, who had the hard spot at the opening of the show, started the show on third speed. It may well be said by the mana cement that there is not a poor act, and 1t is one of the best if not the finest bill that has yet ap- p0ared at the Lyric.

Ward and Sam Hearn in the leading comedy roles, which are heightened by a constant evolution of wit and comically presented wisdom and enhanced by plenty Of song and artistic dancing and musical spe- eialties, this offering will more than get by.
 Looking back in perspective after a pleasant evening spent at the Park theatre, one sees four able com edians Ward, Hearn, Daily and Rowland in a host of funny situations and mirth- full mining; Helen ]. Eley, Hattie Raymond, Estelle Barby and Trixie Ayres in tunefuI renditions of the popular as conceived by Ed Ray and Won Tilzor & Berlin.

With that same old crashing of bats

the amateur championship of the Dis
trict Mike Macdonald's crew of good
looking Bankers came through with an
s to victory over Trinity yesterday on
the Marquette league lot, thus insuring
them the title i'm Section A of the series.
The game was a good one, despite the
one-sided score. The boys from the Hol-
low played good baseball, much better
than the final result indicates, and but
for the good hurting of Murphy, who re-
placed Loomis. might have been in the
game.
Sutton was sent to the hill by Manager
Farquhar. and he was hammered rather
lively, the Bankers getting nine bingles
in five sessions, four of these clouts being
good for extra bases. Pretty fielding on
the part of jackson. in right for Trinity,
the clever backstopping of Zachary. and
the mighty clouting of Reggie Rawlings
featured the contest.
Bankers score In First.
The Bankers showed a tally over In
the initial frame when a pass, a couple
of stolen bases, and Rawlings first hit
came together. In the third a trio Of
blngles. including a double by Myers
and Macdonald and a couple of errors

next frame three more runs counted

and stole. Zachary moved him up

doubled. scoring Sketts. Loomis was
out at third on the throw in. Shipley
walked, and on a hit and run play

then Reggie Rawlings proceeded to wal
lop the pill over the right field hill and

best Rawlings could get, as O'Brien
fielded the ball fast.

Winning the Title.
THREE DOUBLE PLAYS

Ninth now stands at the top of Section
b OF the post-season series. the undis-
puted champion. as the result OF its vic
tory over the Mohawks yesterday in n
miserably played game. in which the
winners were forced to their hardest ef-
forts to finish ahead. by Z to 6.
Though ragged fielding and poor judy
meht made the game drag from stand
point of baseball, the contest held some
interest for the spectator. This was be-
cause of the extreme wiIdness of Won
iIerbeles and Kelly. the Ninth Street
twirlers, who. try as they would, were
unable to locate the plate in the fourth
inning. Consequently. Mohawk, without
effort, showed five runs across with but
two singleg featuring. A brace OF these
counters were forced in. tying the score.
Previous to this Ninth had taken an
advantage of five runs and held this lead
until the fourth inning. Then it was
that Won Herberles, who had been going
good until this time. became unstrung
and lost complete sight of the plate. He
rassed two and allowed a hit before
Kelly was sent to the rescue. The latter
did not measure up to the situation. as
he began by walking three, yielding a
bingle, and then passing a fourth.
GiovannrttI Singles.
This changed the aspect and forced
the Ninth club to extend its efforts to
gain the necessary runs to win. They
did this in the following frame, when
America hit Charley Broome, walked
Milton Broome and Roundtree, and al
lowed Giovannetti to single to center.
Two runs were all secured. as the rest
Of the Ninth batters grounded out in
order.
The most conspicuous plays OF the
game were four double plays, three BY
the leaders. and Moreland's long drive
over the left field fence. which. because
of ground rules, was only good for two
bases. II sent across the first two runs
for the Ninth. Score:
