Baseball Talk

Decatur Review: Though the Deca-
tur baseball club is shy on money,
shy on pennants and shy on several
other things, it Is decidedly long on
originality. Another new sensation
has just been sprung. There will be
no manager of the 1913 ball club.
Wouldn't that rattle your epiglottis?
One of the local directors is RESPONSE
bic for the statement and he says 1t
Is absolutely true. Instead Of having
q manager, there will be field cap
tain, whose name is understood to be
Andrew Henry Biltz and his position
center field. 1t will be his duty to
take ch"rg Of the players on the field.
decide Upon the pitchers and handle
the club on the road. But the matter
of signing, buying and selling ball
players and the general handling of
the club will be left to one OF the di-
rectors whose shrewdness In baseball
has often been demonstrated. His
wide acquaintance with the powers
that be in the baseball world puts him
in position to get the best players on
the market at the most reasonable
price. He's backward about having his
name mentioned, but you know who he
is. BiltZ, of course, or whoever the
field captain may be, will get sub
stantial increase In his salary the
Commodore club will be saved many
hundreds of dollars this season in the
way of a managers salary Here's an
other development. Dick Kinsella,

the best known of its type in the
American theatre of today. No more
lovable character than Uncle Josh has
been visualized and even though he
has emanated from the playrights
creative ability, the story in which
Uncle Josh is the central figure teens
with human interest and good philo-

pertaining new specialties are intro

The Only Son" a comedy drama
by Winchell Smith, which comes to
the Illinois March 2, proved to be not
only a dramatic sensation when it was
given in Chicago and New York, but a
great triumph for author and producer
alike. The play is based on a theme
that is as old as the world, sons Ge-
votion to his mother. Mr.. Smith has
handed this seldom discussed, yet
close-to-the-heart subject in a most
mastery manner, and presents man
Hesitation of it that, for its very
strength and courage, compels the
gripping attention OF every student in
the field for the betterment OF the
world at large. Thomas w. Ross IS

is said TO fairly electrify his audience
The dizziness in which he plays the
role, the light and shade of his concep-
ton, and the manliness and force OF
his stage department, shows this
young player TO be a master of his art,
so convincing is his work Mr.. Ross
has surrounded himself with an, excel
lent company, among whom are Lizzie
