THE DRAMA IN NEW YORK
fBY LOUIS IE BRUN.y

Oliver Morosco, thee tn eatrical pro- ducer from the Golden West, assumes full responsibility for Help Wanted, a comedy drama, in three acts and four scenes, by Jack Lait. produced at the Maxine Elliott Theatre. The heroine is a 5stenographer, beautiful Gertrude. who is charming but inefficient. Her last name is Meyer. and her mother is an honest. hard-worlking German. Gertie is only seventeen when she is turned out to face a cruel world bE her alma mater, business college. Being a smart girl, in a. way, she in vests a cent in a morning paper and goes through the Help Wanted Stenographers'' column. ResuHantly. she pays a visit to the office of Jer- rold R. Scott, who is supposed to be a successful and wealthy business man. although what sort of business he transacts, or when. or where, isn't visible to the nude and naked eye of a man in the front row. This Scott per son is n1iddle-aged, well-dressed and debohair, but a rakish sort of scamp. He has a wife in an apartment up- town, and a step-son who has just been taken into the firm Scott is the sort of New York business man largely mythical in real life--wllo pays big salaries to pretty girls, and takes them out to luncheon, ct oetera- After looking over the young ladies who re- SpOnQ- 10 11S dQV0IJlS0IllCAl1 14S Ct1OOS0S Gertie as his private secretary, The wicked ogre of the skyscraper soon attempts to becocey familiar with his new stenograpaer, but Gertie quickly gives him to understand that she isn't that kind of a lady. Meanwhile the foster son falls in love with Cert, and the fair heroine returns his affection. Old Scott, the villain, tries to kiss Gertie, and she goes right home and tells her mamma on him. Mother is indignant, but philosophical, and re- m arks, T bet if the young fellow had kissed you you wouldn't Of scream ed .'' I bet so. too. The man srnashes a few things. and says something. to his step-son about never darkening his door again, all ends happily. Help Wanted'' is decidedly not a. play that will please the blase and sophisticated, but doubtless it has it's virtues It is
 more like what one expects to see on the screen of a movie, show, how ever. than on the stage of . New York theatre.

Ritchie's work for the first two

Ritchiess work for the first two
 rounds was nothing to brag about and
 he looked anything but a champion.
 but from the third round until the
 end of the battle he displayed ex- Ecellent judgment and fought splen-
 did battle. He does not swing with either hand, but, hits from most any
 angle and at a very short distance.
 His back arm muscles are well de-
 veloped and show plenty of strength
 behind them. He hits much harder
 than would appear to the spectator,
 as his blows travel but very short
 distance. but with all his weight back
 of them RitcIie also demonstrated
 that he can punish an opponent in the body as well as the face and many times he sent in some hard short arm
 punches to WoIgast's body.
 Whether Ritchie's blow to the body. in the seventh round was foul not, is a. question that is hard to answer. for the referee did not see it and no one around the ring (that is, of the newspaper men1 has been able to say From what the writer saw, it ap- peared as though it was a straight right arm blow to the solar plexus. However, after the contest Wolgast was examined by the clubs doctor and 1t was evident that he had been hit in the groin. Whether this was caused by the blow is a question WoI- blow landed in the groin, while Rftchie was just as positive that it was a straight blow delivered in the | pit of the stomach.

 It was practically the same with WoIgast and Ritchie and as long as the referee decided that the blow was fair and gave Ritchie the credit of a clean knockdown. it was sufficient to give the champion a shade decision. fWoIgast spoiled his chance of win ming the fight on a. foul. in case it had been go decided by the clubs doctor, when he arose and resumed the contest without any apparent pro- test.

FIGHTING FANS
 STILL DISCUSSING
 RITCHIE-WOLGAST
By T. S. Andrews3

If is a good bet that the boxing fans will not get over discussing the Rftchie-Wo1gast contest in Mllwauxee for some time to come The Tact that an alleged foul entered into the con troversy the same as in their cham pionship nnatcfl two. years ago, has a77re de afsc1ssion all the more in Fterestine and wherever the boxing fans congregate, the game of baseball fs forgotten for the time begin, to eo over the fight between the two 1fxhfweights once more Ritchle, Tn his contest against yFo1gast, did not show himself to be a hashy boxer like George Levine and Jack McAu- 1fffe. but he did show himself to be quite a ring general, with the ability to punch and also take a punch
 W01gast'a style WAS much more #pectac ular than that of Ritchie and his 1efE punches to the body carried n lot of steam back of them, but doubt whether the same weight car ried with these blows. that was evil dent when Wolgast fought Joe Rivers M month or two ago The cause of this was an injury to the main nerve In Wolgast's left hand several days before the fight which was very pain friI It was only the gameness of the little Dutchman that carried hiTn along at the terrific pace he set. for there Is no doubt but that his hand hurt him severely at times and he deserves all the more credit for his showing.
