start with easy work, loosen up
his muscles, take off eight or ten
pounds and at the end of ten days
or two weeks will be in nearly
top condition. to play baseball.
Then, satisfied with his own con-
dition, he has a pleasure trip
of five or six weeks In the South,
working as little as possible.
Then, soft and used to hot
weather, he comes North early in
April and spends a month getting
cold in muscles and playing in
miserable weather.
Some day some wise manager
will walt until about March 25,
take his team down to the middle
South for two weeks of real work
and then get his advertising by
playing real baseball right from
the jump. He can do it, too, by
sending his pitchers out week

Spring training Of baseball
teams has commenced. Nearly
half of the major league teams
already are in the field. The
others are gathering to hurry
southwark for the annual display
of foolishness.
Nothing in baseball shows the
era Of the press agent, as oppos-
ed to playing real baseball, as
well as, spring training does. The
idea is not to develop players, or
train them, but to get column
or more day In each newspaper
on the theory that advertising of
that kind pays. The spring train
ing trips of major league ball
clubs are the annual joke of the
game and they are largely re-
sponsible for the poorer quality
of baseball dished out to the fans.

SCORES BIG HIT.
Ben Bear Receives Clipping From
Springfield, ILL.,, Paper Praising
september Morn"

Yesterday Mr.. Bear received a let
ter from his daughter, Mrs. D. S.
Benjamin, of Springfield H., in
which she stated that "Septem Der
Morn" gave excellent satisfaction at
Springfield, and enclosed the follow
ing from a Springfield paper:
Theatregoers of Springfield who
have been waiting for several weeks
to hear the beautiful melodies and
laugh at the bright and clever lines
and see the fiashily dressed chorus
and ensembles of September Morn"
flocked to the Chatterton theatre yes
terday and they were well repaid, as
the show proved to be one of the
most attractive of the season.
The piece was advertised as the big
fun festival with tunes and tangoes
and it certainly lived up to its ad-
vance notices. The numbers were
snappy and quick, while the haunt
ing tunes of Aubrey Stauffer refus-
ed to leave your head for hours df-
ter the drop of the final curtain. The
book and lyrics were of especial inter
est to local playgoers, as they were
written by Arthur Gillespie, a former
resident of Springfield. Mr.. Giles
pies efforts were not in vain, and
the show, unlike numerous other mu-
steal productions, has a plot and a
connected story.
A few who attended the perfor-
nance were quite disappointed when
they failed to witness a burlesque
entertainment, but the only thing
that is suggestive about September
Morn" is the tile. The piece is OK
ceptionally clean and could be pre-
sented in a church hall.
The cast provided by Rowland and
Clifford, the producers, was one, of
unusual ability. The production was
also excellent, and everything was
new and up to the minute, including
the costumes, which were scrupu-
ously clean. aa8
One of the features was the dane
ing in the second act of the hesitation
waltz by an octatte composed of
Messrs. c. Thompson, Burtis, Allen
and Willard and four girls of the
chorus. The number went very good
at both performances.

GUN PLAY

Last Sunday morning little Denny
Saunders, the night man in the Red
Barn, got an overdose of cowboy
booze and started out to play the role
of drunken gunman. He visited the
Grove City cafe on Pacific street
and twice pulled loaded pistol on
Paul Hong, the proprietor. Paul, who
is native son of San Francisco, of
Chinese parents, with good common
school education, talked him out of
putting his munderous threat into ex-
ecution and induced him TO leave
through a back entrance. But hs
would come back, and was about to
re-enter the cafe when Chief Of Po-
lice Simmons intercepted him and es-
dorted him to the hotel Jones, where
he could do no harm. Monday morn
ing he was charged with an assault
with deadly weapon.
He was filmed $50, which he failed
to pay, preferring to spend 30 days
in the cooler.

RECEIVER
SUSTAINED

Last Friday Judge Bulge rendered
the following opinion in the case of
the receivership of the Evening Cour-
ier:
'"The authorities are divided upon
tho proposition that court may ap-
point receiver where all of tho
property Of the corporation or CO.
partnership is without the judicial
district, but there arc a great many
well considered authorities which
held that q court may exercise the
power Of appointing a receiver to
take charge Of property without the
jurisdictional district of said court
when it appears that the appoint
ment of said receiver is imperative.

justice, or a total loss Of the prop
erty Of the htigants. or q total losa

ton that this was the last postpone

the sale must be held in Haley ON

Attorney General Peterson raised
the question as to whether another

If there was to be one postpOnement
after another while engineerd were

voir site. He insisted that this was
an entirely new proposition, different
from anything submitted before.
Mackay Citizens Threaten
Receiver Clinton admitted this, but
he still insisted that the state was
responsible for the tie-up because tho
game warden had blocked Watts en-
gineers. He also said that the citizens
Of Mackay were threatening to take
the matter into court if move were
made to raise the dam foot higher
The whole matter was left in a
badly tangled condition when the
board adjourned late in the afternoon
with the understanding that consider
alton of the subject would be resumed
at 10 o'clock this morning.
