BY Hal Sheridan, written for the
United Press.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Organlzeo
baseball is still waging war on the
Federals. This was plainly evidenced
by the trading of Sherwood Magee by
the Phillies to the Braves. The Phil
lies were not very anxious to lose
Magee and it is doubtful if Boss Stall
ings of the worlds champions, could
offer enough men in exchange to make
the Phillies' management make the
trade just for the trades sake. But
Magee was about ready to hop to the
Feds and the Phillies decided to their
part in the war on the OUTLAWS" by
trading the star outfelder to the
Braves. 1t was pretty certain Magee
wouldn't jump from the worlds champ
ions to the Feds.
The National league mogulS-and
their American brothers, too-profess
to be ignoring the Gilmore organiza-
ton. But when they make deals like
the Magee swap-an out and out war
move-it is pretty certain that organ
ganized baseball is worrying little.

Earl Derr Biggers, therefore the an
nouncement that the play is to be
presented here at the Grand opera
house, on Friday evening, January 8,
ia a bit Of news that will be wei
come to the local amusement world.
George NJ. Cohan's pen has fashioned
many plays, but the best Of all, If we
are to accept the opinion of many
erudite reviewers, is Seven Keys to
Raldpate, with its thrilling tale OF a
writer OF melodramatic novels who
isolates himself on the top OF noun
tain for the ostensible purpose OF
completing a story, and is there con
fronted with a series Of happenings
that in thrills and hair-raising cpl.
sodes, puts any tale he could fashion
to the blush Seven Keys to Bald
pate" Is said to run the gamut of hu-
man emotion from laughs to thrills
with intermediate melodramatic mo-
ments Of such convincing reality as
to keep its audience guessing to the
