Betty Green, a trotting mare de-

causes . dullness which makes a good

AT THE ILLINOIS.

There will be an engagement of I'M
usual interest at the Illinois tomor-
row, matinee and night, when "Our
Wives" with Henry Kicker in the
leading role, comes for a visit direct
from a four months run at the Cort
theatre, Chicago, under the manage
ment of Joseph W. Gates. The piece,
which was originally written by Lud-
wig Fulda, has made a tremendous sue
cess in Europe and is being played
there now in seven different countries.
Mr.. Gates secured the rights for this
country and Canada in competition
v it'll practically every manager here
and in England. 1t will be remember
ed that Kaiser Wilhelm enthusiastic
ally called it the best piece ever
written" The American version has
been made by two new authors, Helen
Kraft and Frank Mandel, who will
also have plays produced by David
Belasco and Charles Frohman- They
have given it an American setting, re-
tanning however, all the novelty of
the piece which made 1t so popular
abroad. The plot concerns an ex-
r~emely successful young man, a IL
brettist. who believes he has made a
success in life, through the elimina-
ton of sex. He doesn't hate women,
he merely avoids them, because they
suggest sex and always take an unfair
advantage of him through sex. To
dtseat feminine cunning, he has sur
rounded himself with bachelors only
ana a servant-confidant, all apparent
~ as bitterly anti-feminine as himself.
One by one they fall, each before a
distinctly different type of woman,
WHO. each of them confdes in him, is
''of the sort God made. and then de-
stroyed the mold" Meanwhile he has
been lured by a lifting melody that
floats necessarily through his win
dcws from the rooms of a young com

GOOD BATTERS At
EVANSVILLE NOW
Club Which Got South Bend
Franchise is Trailing in
League But Hits Well.

Although Evansville is trailing the
Central league in point Of number of
games won and lost. three of the
members of the team rank with the 1 5
batters who are hitting better than
800. One of these is Roush, who
lead the circuit up several weeks
ago.
Since that time he fell off a little,
but for the past week he has been go
ing along pretty well and is making
an effort TO regain the lost honors.
George Wheeler. the Terrier out
fielder, is at the head of the whole
crew. He always has been a good
batsman, but did not hit his stride
this year until a couple of weeks ago.
After he did arrive he made no bones
about jumping right TO the lead.
Charlie Stewart trails him in second
place.
Ollie Welch. a new addition to the
Fort Wayne crowd, is one of the big
surprises of the league. 1t was
thought at first that the pitchers
would soon solve him, but so far they
have failed and he is hitting right
along at a 1902 clip.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 15.-If

moter, can induce Champion Willie
Richie to don the gloves on Admis-
sion day. Tommy Murphy, the eastern
lightweight, will be his opponent.
James has the latter signed up and is
angling with the champ.
But Richie is coy. He is not averse
TO taking a chance with any of the
ringsters who want TO wrest the light
weight crown from his head, but he
wants TO get the most money he can
for taking a chance of losing his valu-
able asset.
He has offers of big sums to box in
Vancouver, New Orleans New York.
He is willing to consider bids from
anywhere, San Francisco included.
and he informed Coffroth that some
time about August 4 he would consid-
er all the bids and decide in favor of
one of them. When asked if he would
decide right away in case he was Of
fered something big in the way of
financial inducements Richie said:

ance line until August 4, when all bids
must be in"
CoffrOth is now matchmaker for
three clubs here, the Shasta, Canal
and Sunshine. and is planning bouts
for these organizations.
Labor day is another date in Sep
TENDER for which Coffroth is planning
something extra in the way of a pugi-
listic attraction. The match that
looks best TO him now is a heavy
weight one, between Arthur Pelkey
and Gunboat Smith, the most promi-
nent members of the unlimited class.
Pelkey will be here Monday with his
manager. Tommy Burns, and Coffroth
will endeavor to get them TO sign arti-
cles to meet the Gunboat.
For his August date Coffroth has a
number of strings out. He plans 10
hold the August fight early in the
month so that ii will not be close TO
the two September dates. Labor day
being the first of September
Leach Cross and his manager, Sam
Wallach, had an interview with Cof-
froth, and Coffroth made a PROPOSE
ton TO the New Yorker to box Red
