nTOMMY,s TRAMP,


This is one Of the Vitagraph COM
pany's charming child comedies, in
which Master Buddy Harris takes
the part of Tommy Briggs, the little
boy who did not like to wash or be
washed, or be told to wash. He just
hated the application of water for
cleansing purposes, and he seemed
to meet 1t on every hand. He was
always having the dirt scrubbed off
and being buttoned into clean, stiffly
starched clothes that he despised
One day after he had suffered to an
unusual extent from his family's
cleansing craze, he wandered down
tho road and encountered nice
dirty ragged, sloppy tramp. sitting
comfortably in the grass whiting.
Tommy looked at him attentively,
then queried, Don't you ever have
to washY
The tramp chuckled at this and as
sured the immaculate small boy that
he certainly didn't have to wash.
Tommy was distinctly impressed with
the superiority Of any person who
could escape the inevitable soap and
water that marred his own life, and
he proffered this charmed being a
bite from his red apple. He then
decided to give the tramp the whole
apple and received in return the little
wooden boat on which the man had
been whiting.
Tommy went thoughtfully home and
diverted himself with the composition

home cultivation. He followed his
fancies while his father sought the
secret of youth. The boys chief
fancy finally came to be Isabel, John
Hardin's ward, q girl of charm and
beauty. One day young Ned urged
her to 90 with him to an inn not SO
very far distant, for lark. Isabel,
unaware of the appearance of indls
erection, gladly consented, and the two
young people had a merry ride TO
Meadow Sweet Inn.
Roses old relative recognized her
child, grown now to manhood, and
told her of his presence there. Just
then John Hardin arrived to visit
his old friend and was surprised TO
meet his niece. A meeting followed
and mother and son were united,
while the elders were asked TO con-
sent to an engagement between the
two young people.
When the wedding was celebrated
the old scientist retreated to his

to her former home for q little visit.
Saddened with her memories she
sought her old room, and there she
found her husband clasping a por-
trait of her. Rejoicing in this knowl-
edge of his affection for her, she
came home again to live and to care
for him. The young people changed
the old place from q mansion of sobs
to one Of smiles, and John Hardin
was still a frequent visitor, finding
his happines in Roses.

THE Mansion of Sobs"
Iuhin

Andrew Gregg was an elderly and
an absorbed scientist, who preferred
his test tubes and glass retorts to the
charms of his youthful wife. Rose,
full of bubbling vitality, found life
exceedingly duh in the great house,
and yielded readily to the attraction
exercised by a young barrister on a
neighboring estate. John Hardin was
a man of delightful personality and he
put light into Roses life by his friend
ly sympathy, which he extended to
her through the medium of books.
His library became a Mecca of happi-
ness which she sought innocently
Hardin was not n man of sufficient
-, strength to leash his love for the girl,
and one day while she was at his home
on a book borrowing mission he told
her of his regard for her. She scarce
ly realized the enormity of the situa-
ton, telling him very firmly that it
was impossible, but allowing him to
walk back home with her.
In the meantime Roses husband,
grown suspicious of his wife and their
mutual friend, had been peering in the
window during the little scene of
sentiment. Afiame with jealousy he
went home later. only to find Hardin
and his wife at the dining table. Rose
explained they were waiting for him
to join them at lunch, but unheeding
her words he sprang at Hardin, and
the two engaged in a desperate con-
fiiet Terrified at the struggle Rose,
scarcely conscious of her act, seized
q pistol and shot recklessly, the bullet
striking her husbands wrist
This angered Gregg more than had
anything else, for he thought 1t
showed conclusively the woman's at
titude, and he ordered her to leave
the house. No appeal reached the
adamant old man, so she went away,
leaving her home and her small son.
She found refuge with her only
living relative, the proprietor of the
Meadow Sweet Inn, and here she
stayed for some twenty years, iR-
nored by every one except Hardin,
who continued to visit her and bring
some cheer into her life. though she
never admitted his love.
The old home became known to the
neighbors as the mansion of sobs.'
The husband, grown older and feebler
mentally as well as physically, lived
in his laboratory, trying to compound
an elixir of life which would renew
his youth so that he might seek and
find again the woman whom he had
loved and sent away.
His only companions were his Wis

very little. The son had grown UP

his hiding place to see white spirals
curling mp around the old barn. AT
the same time he saw a small yellow
head at an upper window. This
reused him to action and he dashed
into the barn just as Tommy's par
ents, having seen the smoke from
some distance, drove into the yard.
1t is a very real picture of fire
through which the tramp struggled,
80 real, so fiery, and so smoky, that
one wonders how the man ever got
through 1t in making the picture.
There is a period given to suspense,
while the flames rage, the smoke
chokes and the timbers fall, until at
last the tramp came out of the fur
mace with the child in his arms. He
was put into the automobile along
with Tommy and taken home by the
grateful parents. He refused their
invitation to live with them, how
ever, and followed his free life of
the road, while Tommy was put
through a renoyatlng process In the
bath tub, to which he didn't object
this time. He had decided he would
rather be clean than tramp.

"DAN CUPID, AssAYER.s


This Is the tale Of a sailed mine
and the way It helped Cupid to turn
one of his W. H. tricks. Sllas Barker,
an old man of a trusting nature, pos
sessed little money and lovely
daughter Bessie, arrived at the
mining town Of Dalton. He was soon
Induced to part with the money, re-
ceiving I'm exchange mine which
was reported as assaying wonderfully
well. When he took some of the ore
up to Billy Cousins, the assayer, for
a test, he was accompanied by his
daughter.
Under the spell of her bewitching
eyes Billy hadn't the heart to tell
them that the ore was worthless, SO
he made a favorable assay and Of
fered to buy all of the ore himself.
The old man and the daughter were
elated at their good fortune and they
soon supplied Billy with sacks Of
valueless quartz that he contem-
plated with anything but elation.
An innocent Englishman, arriving
at Dalton, wished to purchase a
mine, and acquired Barker's. Then
he went around to the assayer and
told him what a fine bargain he had
gotten. Billy, horror stricken at the
idea of anyone being taken in on his
false assay, made the Englishman re-
turn the deed and compelled Barker
to give back the money he had re-
ceived for his mine.
Then the young assayer explained
the situation and showed the Bankers
the worthless ore. They were very
unhappy until Cupid made himself
audible. Billy, after making clear the
worth essness of the mine, turned to
the weeping Bessie and held out his
arms with the invitation, Let me be
your gold NINE" Bessie responded
without expressing any doubt of the
assay value Of her new mining in
terest.

Umpire Klein. of the National

day by retiring nine Pirates, un-
assisted, in one inning The players
on the Pittsburgh bench were COM
planning about Klem's decisions, and
made some remarks that KLEIN did
not like. The umpire announced
that every one of Clarke's utility
players would be fined $40. This
aroused Fred's ire. and when he got
done talking to Klein KLEIN decided
to Danish the whole utility staff of
the club. They marched across the
field in lockstep. with Clarke, the
rear guard, still telling what he
thought of Klein.

players is the belief of a wealthy Nor

a circuit to be composed of Richmond.

Petersburg and Portsmouth. Win

present an umpire in the Virginia
League. will come North next fall to
dig up talent. He will rake over
teams like the Lincoln Star, Lincolg
Giants and Philadelphia Colored
Giants for promising material.
In many of the Virginia League
cities the darkies are more constant
in their attendance than the whites
at the week. day games Those who
have kept in touch with the situation
in the South say that the darlies
would idolize players of their own
race, such as Sandtop, Hcme-ruu

fngton's type. III
The proposition to organize a I
colored league of such calibre as Il
one should be has often be-
preached, but never been put III

Resign IRON Irish-American
A. c. at Next Meeting.
WILL RECEIVE BIG SALARY


Lawson Robertson, coach of the
Irish American Athletic Clubs ath-
letic team, who has been engaged to
train the athletes of Hungary for the
1916 Olympiad. viii leave with his
family for Europe early in August.
1t is likely that Robertson will re-
sign as coach OF the Irish-American
A. c, team at the next meeting of
the organization.
Robertson was notified of his ap-
pointment yesterday by James +, Sui
Ivan. secretary of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union, who was commissioned to
obtain trainer by S. Stankovits, the
official Hungarian representative at
the international Athletic Federation.
Robertson's contract is for six years,

the Americans services is said to be
the largest ever given an athletic
coach.
Roberts IN was thought to be the
man who would handle the A. u
athletes at the Berlin Olympiad.
The coach of the Irish American
A. c. has had a distinguished ath-
letie career. As a sprinter he repre-
sented the United States in the Olym-
pic games at st. Louis in 1904 at
Athens in 1906 and at London in 1908.
Then he became attached to the
Irish American A. c.. in the capacity
of coach. During his stay with the
club he has brought out many cham
pionship teams. With few excep-
tions, the Irish American athletes
have swept the field each year under
his coaching in the national junior
and senior championships. Among the
individual performers that he has
developed are Abel Kiviat, the 1000
yard American reeord-holder: Emil
Muller, the champion discus thrower;
Daniel Ahearn, worlds record
holder in the hop, skip and jump;
Babe" Mcdonald worlds champion
shot putter; Jack Eller, champion
