PLAZA THEATRE

As was predicted in the advance mo- tices the show at the Plaza. the latter half or the week is proving one Of the most pleasing and artistic s1e- and each attraction scored an tndi- vidual hit at yesterday'e perform ances.
 Roland Vests miniature comic opera, .sJapanese Prince with Will liam Courneen and Louise Kay in the
 company of ten, mostly pretty and gracefully formed girls in handsome costumes of both American and Orient l tai design, holds the headline position. The piece was written and staged by Edward Clark whose recognized skill tifu1 song numbers
 l The scene represents a tea room l in ToIzfo, decorated according to the Ecostume of the Orient for a festive gathering at which the Japanese Prince is to meet his American bride l to-be and the color schemes loom forth in exquisite radiance under play of the extensive electrical effects that i have been especially prepared by the Roland West. studios. Taking all in all, 1t is one of the most luxuriously staged girl offerings that has ever played a vaudeville engagement in Bridgeport and the audience appre- iciates the fact.
 Vying with the headliner for first honors. come the Dancing Kennedys
 who scored such a. triumphant success at the Winter Garden a short time ago, and they brought rounds of applause that echoed through the theater for IseveraI minutes after the curtain was lowered.

HOW YALE PLAYERS
 GOT THEIR NIGIxNAMES

Nicknames of college athletes spring from obscure sources, one of which is an athletic predecessor. Just to dodge the sobriquet of Rebel, 7 which, apparently, some 1ippant adj Inirer bestowed upon him because it had been previously tackled upon a professional big league baseball player.
 In 9 similar way Johnny Reilly, YaIe's remarkable third basenaan, had the handle Long John' prefixed to the Reilly in designating him be- cause years ago there lived a. Cincin- natl third baseman who responded to the same call.
 Wilson. the Yale end rush, appar- ently lacked a nickname when he re- ported for football work and some one in the sidehnes who keeps abreast of pugi1ists' doings wished upon him the title Tug" as a prefix. The only reason that A1eck Wilson, the quarter back, escaped the appe1ation seems to be that it saw the other Wilson first.
 It IS told that a Harvard raiser of technfcalities objected to Carter play ing end for Yale last year because he noted by the newspapers that Garter was labeled Nick which had been literally the nick name given to a player by the name of Carter at Yale was unable to see how Carter could continue to be eligible indefinitely It was soberly explained to him that to every Carter who reported for foot ball at Yale and who was good enough to get into the game, the handle tNick was given.
 It was not explained, for the HaE-

 ward man didn't remain long enough to listen, that the first Nick Carter at Yale wore his title more accurately true to traditions of the dime novel hero than the present sNick,'' who is the son of clergyman and most quiet, nnassuming young man and who 1T he did not possess a sene of keen h1I1lor, would resent the title Of Nick. But the bravest Y ale athlete dare not defy an invading nickname
 The origin of the forenarne Pie with which Way, the guard and base ball pitcher, was -fnicked'' has been shoruded in mystery Had he been termed High" Way, the title would have seemed broader. more enduring and more harnonious. The explana- ton came from Q friend who was ac- quainted with Ways lunch habits. More than a decade ago there was Yale player named Brown. who was given the nickname Skim Henceforth, as long as Browns joined the Yale foot ball squad they were known as Skim This may be the reason that Browns stopped joining the squad.

SIAL.LINGSTIE MAN
 AND HIS METHODS


 George T. Stallings, mana ger of the Braves, looms up as one of the greatest mana gers the game has ever known. Not only has he made d winner Of the Braves, 8 !. team that until he took hold of it had been a tailender for years, but his success dates back more than a deeade.iHe has been in baseball 25 years and has been major and mi nor league manager for about 15 years.
 The methods of Stallings vary greatly from those of. most managers. By his sys tenn, combined with his per sonality he can get more real baseball out of a team than probably any man in the game. He drives his players all the time and never allows them to lose their fighting spirit.
 On the playing field, there. is not harder task maker. After the game he is most anaiable with his players, and is beloved by them for his" lSindliness and his manner of treating them On the field he is the autoerat; off he is the democrat. He meets his play CTS on common ground, yet commands the highest re- spect of them all.
 So. fine an impression has he made upon his men that they regard him as the prince of managers. The unkind words spoken by him during the heat of battle are forgot ten in his excelIe mt treatment Of the men after the excite rneIlt wears off. They realize that he is predding them for
 their own good, and they are willing to go to almost any extreme for him.
 Probably the most out standing features of his work since taking over the Braves ii the spring of 1913 have. been the weeding out of the.
 dead material which served to keep the team down E in the race; the acquis isition ! of young pla yers who could De. taught to play the game according to his own ideas ]; several trades that materially strengthened the team, and the using Of his three star pitchers Rudolph, James and Tyler every third day.
 Stallings has a reputation as hard loser. He is out to win every game, and carries q grol1eh if he does not. He has irnbned his players with the idea that it verges upon sin to waste a chance to win 8 game, and he has them talk ing advantage of every op- portunity He tells them that they are greatest bunch of ball players in the world, and he makes them believe it. This confidence in their own ability has made the Braves what they are.

WHERE MIGHT is RIGHT.

and Ausirlans by which the armies
In the field would be aided In either
their offensive or defensive warfare,

right to do 80 by whatever means at

The only question regarding Ger
many's right 10 violate the neutrality
Of Belgium Is whether Germany was
compelled by events to enter the war
precipitated by Austria. Assuming
that the war was necessary. the only
question remaining for the Germans
was one Of the best policy. Not only,
