B NEW YORK, March 6-Organ- ized baseball scored heavily in the struggle with the Federal league for the services of players who com pleted the round the world tour early today. The Boston Americans signed Speaker; Detroit Americans signed Sam Crawford; the St. Louis Americans kept Pitcher LeverenZ with a considerable raise in salary. The best the F'ederals could do was to secure the promise of Mike Dool- an of the Philadelphia Nationals, Dick Egan of Brooklyn and Steve Evans and Lee Magee of the St. Louis Nationals, to consider propoSi- tions made by the new organization.
 It was a day of propositions counter propositions, conferences and contract flashing, but at midnight organized baseball was still holding the lead which it gained when sev- eral American and National League magnates boarded the steamer Lusi- tania down. the bay, while the Fed eral Leaguers were forced to wait several hours at the pier before they could communicate with those among the returning players they desired to sign up. There was consolation, if it may be termed so. in the Knowledge that they had forced the magnates of the two major leagues to pay ito those players who signed. salaries which surpassed their most exalted anticipations.
 The National League as a whole was not as successful in settling up the Chicago Boston club deal After two lengthy sessions the, board of directors announced that the final settlement of the Evers trade had been left to President John K. Tener The National league executive said in statement:

"The Constable of JayviIIe"

Perhaps the most unique position in all the catalog of modern theatricals
 is held by the tabloid musical comedy Its field is entirely foreign to that of the musical comedy-its nearest com- petitor-for more is really expected of it. The comedy must be snappy and fast-it must be easy of perception, and al the same time lose none of the intent of real comedy. And the musical num- bers-they must be the latest hits-for there is no 'score" in a "tab" show, and they must be handled in way that will really add to the value of the song itself. And this is all as it should be-for is not the tabloid com edy-the "big show" in "capslue form"
 "The Constable of Jayville" strikes at once the happy vein of tabloid comedy, and in the offering the Kelly Rowe people at the Empress, are handling it in great style. The role of the con- stable is in the capable hands of Claud Kelly. and he is perfectly at home as the "rube cop" Ray Duncan-versatile Ray-is up for tramp reading, and even to the voice, Duncan has con- scientiously prepared the character, and would make even a cigar store In- dian laugh at his ''funnyisms" Marshall is al#aTs on the job. assisting the gen eral result, as the "city dude. Miss Rowe is responsible for much of the musical end, with the Manning Trio al- ways strong with the audience.
 The offering is all that could be de- sired, and there is no more entertain ing way to spend an hour than to fol- low "The Contable of Jayvlle" in his official capacity"

At the close of business yesterday exactly sixty-two applications for employment had been made to the new free municipal employment bureau. established only the day pre- viously. Incidentally six men had been placed in the way of earning their own living. While there is nothing sensational in this accom- plishment it indicates that the latest creation of the common council is assured of success and that won derful opportunity for doing good has been taken advantage of.
 Manager J. l.. Wolf urges every employer of labor to file their appli- cations with his bureau.
