to play most of the games in Seattle,

legaue officials to take the initiative.
The territory of Portland belongs to
jurisdiction of the Pacific Coast
league
Through courtesy alone the North
western league has been allowed a
cult. The matter of forcing Fielder
Jones league out of the Portland ter
ritory has been discussed before.
There has been opposition against it
mand was ever made that it pull
stakes.
This year, however, according to
rumors there has been a falling off in
the attendance at Portland while the
Coast league team was at home, and as
the city was given one of the best
baseball clubs in its history no other
reason can be attributed for the lack
of patronage than the fact that Port
land gets too much baseball for a
town of it's size.
The impression prevails among the
directors of the Coast league that the
Coast league games, in the north, if
the town was not given too much
baseball.
Both clubs in Portland are owned by
the Mercedes. A fight may be made
to continue Northwestern league
club in Portland. but if the Coast
league directors insist on the exclu-
sive rights of their territory, the
Northwestern league will be forced
to leave Portland.
Jimmy Johnstons record of 123
stolen bases is expected to remain for
many a day. Since the organization

Johnston expect him to be sensa-
tion in the big league if he is given
the proper chance to display his merit.
Johnston has been up in the high
brush on two former occasions, but
each time he was sent back to the
minors. The fans predict that it will
be a long time before Jimmy is seen
in minor league uniform again.

SRumor has it that Arthur Devlin,
manager of the Oaks, is entirely dis
satisfied with his team and that he is
going to shake the club up from top
to bottom. There will be changes
galore in the Oakland lineup. and the
report has it that the Oaks will look
like a made over quilt when the sea-
son of 1914 starts. 1t is definitely
known that Leard and Mite. two of
the old guard of the Oaks. will be dis
posed Of Then Schwenk, Stone, Seitz

new men for next season. and he
figures on getting them when he goes

The first player to sign Seal con-

Skeeter Tanning. Before he left for
Illinois he demanded of Del Howard
that they should straighten out this

'THELURE' WITH
ITS VENEERING
IS VITAL DRAMA
Play Which Shocked New York
Has Sting Removed, But Still
Teaches Lesson.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The art
" Of removing stings from
plays that are supposed TO
shock SNUG prophecies is one
that can not be overestimated.
There are certain things that can
he said, should be said, must be
said, but those who want to say
them mustn't sting. That is to say,
gentle veneer must be laid softly
over the surface Of those certain
things-or there will be a shocking
TODD in the community.
Mr.. Lee Shuhert was made to
feel very naughty, shut down his
original "Lura" and produced re
vised version at Maxine Elliott's
Theater.
A very ingenious play It is. too.
The features that are supposed TO
have been most shocking have been
modified, or eliminated, but the
scope Of the odious white slave
business is such that the effect Of
the play has rather been strength
ened by the changes For the sake
of public opinion, the locale Of the
second act has been removed to an
y
etress Of which obtains recruits for
nefarious purposes. This may be
rather rough or employment agen-
cies. but the general public. whose
welfare must be Safeguarded, won't
mind 3 little thing like that.
The cadet OF the original "Lurn"
is the husband Of the employment
agency lady" and the play moves
swiftly to its point without the
slightest embarra The new
'Luref is a better play than the old
one, and just : poignant and strik-
ing. A little cloak" rather adds to
the zest Of the thing The terrible
suggestion that the apparently
harmless employment agency is the
awful lure that draws girls into
the vortex hits IS hard-harder than
the original idea, which was IN
Cloaked and without apology. The
moral lesson" is stabbed into the
vitals. and one can not gainsav 1t.
The lot Of the critic at the
present time Is not a joyous one.
If he had to search for lessons" in
the countless offerings Of New
York's countless theaters there
would be nothing for him but the
lunatiC asylum. The real Sc
cret Of this agitation lies in the
fact that the sex question may be
guyed. but not seriously handled.
One may laugh ones Head off at
conjugal infdelity, divorce. double
lives, lax morals or French farce.
These are looked upon as funny,
comic, mirth- spiring. But treat
them seriously, lugubriously, as
menaces and threats, and-paws off,
Pompey! Then one Is treading
upon the morals of the commu-
nifty These things may all be
guyed, but not considered pessimis-
tically. II is very odd. Nothing
that one can say viii change this
conception Of the case.
THE Lure" gives many thrills.
Its teachings are the same as they
were before the modification set in.
The theme of the play has so many
ramihcatiOns that one locale Is not
at all necessary. The original set
ting of the second act seemed ex-
ceedingly auds cious The new set
ting is without the "Offense" that
censors complained of. Ii had no
effect whatever upon the point that

Three exceedingly ultra advertised

dies of New York. London and

descended upon this cultured cen
ter Monday night in their triple
glory. If you ask why came to

two Of EN-, so why begrudge a
three-hour train ride 10 watch the
three together?
For together they were at the

three ladies being none other than
Nine. Poleire, Lady Constance
Stewart Richardson and Miss Ger
trude Hoffman,, each entitled TO
head a show of her own.
All Allentown turned out in mo-
tors, bu-gics and street cars, and
there was a block outside the Lyric
Theater that made 1t look like
Forty second street. At least three
tuxedo suits and silk hats-prob-
ably one in honor of each lady
cut a dash. and altogether 1t was a
big and gala occasion here of al
most political significance.
Exactly which lady to present"
first on the long program must have
been Il problem that only Norris
Gest could solve. Possibly 1t cost
him sleepiess nights. However, it
was solved. The first Of the ex-
pensive three to make a bid for
Allentowns verdict was Lady Con-
stance Richardson, whose title ap-
peared i'm all its beauty outside the
playhouse.
Lady Constance. attired In a d.
'sphanous Undress of something
blue. did her well-known fawn
dances, which may mean so much,
or so little or Just nothing at all.
These arc the dances made popular
by Miss IsadOra Duncan and consist
of hops skips and jumps to the
music Of Chopin, TChaikowslSy, De-
busy Grieg and other classical
eliCateSsen.
The music tonight did not ap-
pear to send Lady Richardson into
terpsichurean rhapsodies, but she
did her best and smiled at the
wicked conductor. The program
said that her dances signif1ed that
we may see things that the love OF
the woods and open spaces breed,
creep out and dance. Lady Rich
ardson went at her work gayly and
gracefully. Soon she forgot the CON
duCtor and flung herself rhythmi-
Cally into the spirit of the thing.
Very charming she was In her
sinuous and plastic poses, and per-
haps the most mystic charm of the

A long succession of white
slave plays would hardly be
edifying. The modern theater, how
ever, IS managed in such a way
that whenever one manager ap-
pears to have touched the pulse Of
the people with d particular theme
another rushes in TO try the same
thing. They follow one another
like sheep. THE Lure" Is a strong
and serious presentment, and all
that can be said for the theme is
