new YORK IS ON EVE
OF THEATRICAL WAR
William Harris, Jr., Alleges Play
Twin Beds" Is Copied in
Apartment I2-K."
TO TEST THE COPYRIGHT LAW

New York. July 1z.-Any hope that the
coming theatrical season would be one OF
peace and quiet so far as the factions
which have been at war for several years
are concerned was shattered yesterday by
the announcement that the season viii
begin with a battle.
On next Monday night the William A.
Brady. Limited. Company will start the
new theatrical year by producing in New
York farce called apartment 12-K."
Today on the Aquitania Margaret Mayo
author of the farce, Twin Beds" pro-
duced out West last May, will return
from Europe and prepare for a battle in
the courts to prove that apartment
PIX was taken from her own play.
which is the property Of william Harris,
!r.
OnciaIly, the Harris people. who plan
to present their play in August, say that
they will wait until they see apartment
l2-K'' on Monday night before taking any
legal steps. As a matter Of fact, how
ever. William Harris, jr., has his plans
all made TO begin an action in the courts
next Tuesday morning. and cabled Miss
Mayo TO come here for that purpose. He
has already served notice on every one
connected with the production Of apart
ment Xxx" including the actors in the

any suit which may be started.
The matter is further complicated by a
difference OF opinion among the sponsors
of Apartment 12-K" as to who is really
producing the play. All Of the preliminary
announcements of the coming production
bore the name Of william A Brady. lin
fted. The Brady concern is one of the
many organizations connected with the
Shuberts, and at the Offices OF William A.
Brady yesterday II was denied that Mr..
Brady or the William A. Brady. Limited.
Company was interested In the matter.
There has been a Misunderstanding. a
friendly one" said Nathan Vidayer, at
torney for William A. Brady, about the
production Of this play, but William A.
Brady, Limited. has nothing to do with
the piece and is producing II. The play
will be put on by the Shuberts."
And, quite incidentally, the battle be-
tween the warning theatrical factions this
season will draw other Rlaw & Erlangcr
allies besides William Harris, jr., into
conflict with the Shuberts. Arrange
ments. while denied generally by all con-
cerned. have been made by the Shuberts
to take Raymond Hitchcock into their
fold
meTts between that comedian and
Cohan & Harris, his present managers.
The recent sudden closing of THE
Beauty Shop" while doing an enormous
business came as a result Of the dis
pute between Mr.. Hitchcock. the star
of the piece, and Cohan & Harris, al
though the reason assigned for the end
of the run was that Mr.. Hitchcock

LACK OF CARS BLAMED.
L. C. c. Plans Railroad Reforms to
Cut Cost of Beef.

II was stated at the Interstate Com
merce Commission yesterday IN comment
on complaints that have been made by
handlers Of imported beef, that railroad
conditions were unsatisfactory and that
relief would be granted by the commits
sion. The objections seems to lie against
the lack of satisfactory equipment rather
than the rates on beef. 1t was pointed
out that more than year ago the COM
mission undertook an investigation on its
own initiative into the whole question
of cars and equipment and as a result Of
this investigation reforms would be order
ed. The large meat packers own all their
own refrigerator cars and in many in
stances rent or lease them to the rail-
roads or shippers.

CUTTING OUT THE BLEACHERS
Baseball Magnates Killing 25-Cent Ball
by Reducing Seating Capacity
Rules Obeyed.

Twenty five-ceRt baseball seems to
be disappearing from the major league
parks. Just now 1t is case of IF
you haven't got four bits you needn't
come around"
Until few years ago, when most of
the club owners in the American and
National leagues began constructing
new stands, there were many 25-cent
seats. But since then they have been
growing scarcer and scarcer. The old
bleacher area in most of the parks
has been cut into three parts, the two
parts nearest the home plate selling
at so cents, and only the little stretch
that Is farthest away from the plate
being allotted to the 25-cent fans.
The rules of the big leagues provide
for 25-cent seats, but they do not
specify the number Because of that
little error that would have protected
the 25-cent fans the magnates have
reduced the bleacher seats from num-
bers far into the thousands to num-
bers in the hundreds.

INSTANCE OF SCOTCH THRIFT
Railroad Clerk, instead of Being Re
warded for Returning Lost Purse,
Is Asked for Interest.

There was no doubt about the facs
that Jack MacFaddy was a Scotsman.
Last year, when journeying to the
country on an important errand. he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta
ton from which he started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept till his
return a month later.
1t was a young clerk who handed
Jockie Mac F. his wee purse with
the "spondies" as he set foot out OF
the train, and certain wild hopes were
making that young mans heart beat q
trif1e unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding, and when he'd fin
ished he looked up long and suspt
ciously at the young man.
Isn't it right, sir?" stammered the
latter, in bewilderment
"Richt-richt! It's RIGHT enough,
but where's the interest, mon?" was
MacFaddy's stern retort.

A well-known athlete says that on

ably without ascertaining whether
the water would be above his head.
The athlete swan to the assistance
of the struggling man. Grasping him
by the hair, he towed him to the side
of the tank and assisted him to hang
on until he recovered his breath.
What were the first words uttered
by the rescued one? Did he stammer
out thanks to his human preserver?
No. The human mind is a curious

QUEER ANGLE IN BASEBALL
Umpire Brennan Allows Runner 20
Score a Run After Third Man
Had Been Touched Out.

speaking of intricate plays on the
ball field" unused Bill Brennan, UNI
pire-in-chief on the Federal league
staff, in tanning bee the other day.
"a play that puzzled the crowd Tor
time came up in that final Buns-Pack-
ers game. when / allowed score TO
count after three men had been re-
tired.
Scoring a run after side is out
is a ticklish situation for any UNI
pire and | can honestly say that sci"
dom before have l heard of an In
stance where an umpi-s must rule on
such an affair. There were three
Kansas City men on the bags, and
two out. The batter had three balls
and one strike, and apparently a nit
and-run signal was given. AS the Buns
pitcher wound up, the men on nrst
and second started out on gallop, but
the man occupying third saw that
the ball was wide, and he started on
slowly to stroll home, as the run was
forced in. The runner who had been
on second, however, had decided to
give an exhibition Of speed. / guess,
for he dashed around third and took
a big lead toward the plate. Quick as
a flash Wilson pegged the ball to
Zeider, and the runner was tagged
out.
That out was made before the stray
gler who had been on third reached
the plate, and there we have situa-
ton that would puzzle anyone for an
instant. The Packer tagging from
third continued to walk home, and he
registered the run probably three Sec
onds after the third man had been re-
tired at third. There was nothing to
do but to allow the run, as the pass
issued with the sacks full forced In a
run which must be counted, even
though speed boy pulled a bone on
the sacks"
