DAMAGED GOODS"

Richard Bennett and his original
New York company of co-workers will
present the startingly frank drama,
Damaged Goods at the Majestic
Theater to-day, matinee and night.
This play has stirred the serious
minded public of America as no other
drama produced on the American
stage within the last twenty years.
Absolute frankness of the discussion of
the social evil and the social dis
ease" saves the play from any charge
of suggestiveness, for 1t presents the
vivid picture of sexual excesses rather
than any other of the allurements of
vice. AS one noted editor has said,
far from being immoral, Damaged
Goods is so moral that it is religious. y
The play tells the pitiful story of q
young man who marries while suffer
ing from terrible blood taint; he
brings woe and disease upon his inno-
cent wife and helpless child. From
this tragic situation the author points
the way to a finer and happier type
of manhood through a clearer under
standing of the fundamental facts OF

OWNERS BLOCKED
IN TR|-STATE CAME
President Carpenter Refuses to
Retire After Agreement
Was Reached

Owners of five Tri-State clubs anx-
ious for the betterment Of Tri-State
baseball, and with a view to be fair,
yesterday afternoon, met every request
of President Charles F. Carpenter on
an agreement for his retirement, and
then received a jolt from the Tri-State
leader who refused to abide by the
agreement. This brought about sud
den ending of the conference, after a
very brief session of the Tri-State.
1t was Tri-State rule requiring a
unanimous vote that gave President
Carpenter loop hope to continue in
Office for two weeks longer, and
brought the announcement that an ad-
journed meeting of the Tri-State would
be held in Philadelphia at the Wind
sor, Tuesday, January 20, to be fol-
lowed by the Tri-State league session
at which George NJ. Graham will be
elected president of the League.
Owners agreed to hand over to
President Carpenter the sum of 81, 500
at a certain time. Until that time Sc
curity was to be given, binding the
agreement. President Carpenter ac-
quiesced, but when it came to sign
ing up for the security the absence of
a Wilmington representative gave
President Carpenter an opportunity
to raise an objection which he did,
and in order to be fair the owners
agreed to put off the plans for the re-
juvenation of the league two weeks
longer.
A Long Session
1t was o'clock when the owners
came from the second floor of Hotel
Columbus and announced that their
plans had been blocked by Mr.. Car
penter through a technical point.

there was an adjournment for two
weeks, the meeting to take place at
Philadelphia.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering of
baseball men, and Notwithstanding the
disappointment over the failure to get
start yesterday the general opinion
prevailed that the efforts to place
baseball in the Tri-State on a higher
standard would be successful. Owners
in attendance were:
