FEW WAR PLAYS HAVE LIFE
Writers Seldom Successful in Produc-
Ing Dramas That Long Hold
Public Attention.

To write long list of plays which
would neither prove nor disprove any
thing except thiS-that they were so
written as TO deserve recognition from
posterity, or not; if .hey were they
got it, and if they were badly done,
nobody remembers them; certainly
the fact that they exploit a passage at
arms, a battle of war, never kept bad
plays out of the limbo Of forgetful-
ness.
Dryden's enormous product includes
at least two dozen war plays, and they
are the deadest in our literature, ac-
cording to the Theater Magazine. He
loves alarms and excursions, but while
one ode devoted to them in a spectacu-
lar way is spouted by every schColboy,
the plays of this poet in which war
as a spectacle figures even more
grandiloquently are quite lost to all
but the bibliophile.
The first war plays that naturally
recur to the Anglo-SaXon mind are
Shakespeare's histories. These are
war plays, indeed if any exist in Eng
lish. Armies march and countermarch
through them, battles ere joined, lost
or won, cities are besieged and taken,
the sight and sounds of sixteenth CEN
fury warfare are constantly heard and
SEEM they are perhaps the model war
plays of our language; and Shake
speare's free hand was the only hand
to deal with them.

terly after the secretary, Mrs Hubert,
as she swept majestically away, her
silken garments trailing audibly along
the floor.
Red felt aggrieved in his Utmost
soul. Two weeks before he had come
out of states prison, after serving
term of two years for grand larceny.
He had really meant to run straight
after marrying Lizzie, but it was hard
for the ex-jailbird to get a position,
and harder still to keep it, with the
police always bounding one. SO Red"
had fallen. The temptation was
strong one, for they were both starv-
ing. He had gone to the penitentiary,
and he had never seen Lizzie since
the day he was sentenced.
When he came out he realized that
all efforts to find her were doomed to
disappointment Lizzie had disap-
peared, and it was evident that she
would never return to him. She had

Historic London Character.


The Oldest rat catcher in England,
John Dalton, has died in Southwark,
at the age of ninety. He belonged to
a family which has carried on the
business for two centuries, by means
of a secret method which has been
handed down from father to son. Dali
ton held contracts from the railway
and dock companies, but 80 years ago
he retired, leaving the business and
secret to his eldest son John. In his
early days Dalton conducted many of
the crowned heads of Europe, when
visiting London, to the various sport
ing rendezvous. King Edward VII,
when Prince OF Wales, often visited
the old cockpit at the Cutters arms, in
the New Cut, with Mr.. Dalton.

committee investigated his case and
announced that he could get posi-
ton of trust, to run errands for a
store, at eight dollars a week.
What about a raise?" sneered
Red bitterly. He, who had handled
thousands, felt the temptations to hon
esty miserably inadequate. Say" he
bawled, could any of you support a
wife on eight week? Honest, could
you?"
They had not known Red was
married. The committee investigated
that, delaying as committees do.

NOTES

Bill Hinchman is Pittsburgh's lead
ing batter.
Hans Wagner is still playing re-
markable ball for the Pirates.
Ray Fisher, the Vermont schoolmas-
ter, is winning regularly for the Yam
KEGS.
Connie Mack Is seeking to sign
Third Baseman Carroll of Fordham
college.
The umpire, may his decisions al-
ways be right; but, right or wrong, the
umpire.
The Pirates are playing real base
ball these days and will soon be up
in the select circles.
Hugh Bedient, former Red Sox
curver, is having hard time of it
in the Federal ranks.
Art Fromme, who vas traded by
Cincinnati to the Giants, has been rel
egated to Jersey City by McGraw.
Catcher Nig Clarke, once famous in
the American league, has been given
his unconditional release by San Fran
cisco.
It is rather slam at Fred Merkle
for McGraw to put fellow named
Brainerd in his place at first base, is
it not?
Jawn McGraw's present opinion of
John Tener may be judged by the
statement that he wishes Tom Lynch
would come back.
Dell, the Dodgers new pitcher, is
going along at a good clip. Wheeler"
as he is known, was given a trial by
the st. Louis Nationals few seasons
ago.
The st. Louis Cardinals are in the
market for a shortstop and will let
nothing more in that line get out of
the major leagues by the waiver
route.
Sherwood Magee looks like a better
ban player this year than ever be-
fore. He seems to be more alert and
more interested since joining the
Braves.
Jack Fournier has discovered that it
helps his batting to have Eddie Collins
hit ahead of him. After the pitcher
gets through with Collins the others
look easy.
The Alexanders and such may sur
pass Tesreau modicum in proficiency
in the pitching art, but none of them
has any more sand than the big man
and not many the skill.

McAleer didn't dream such a thing,
either. This season Eddie Collins is
sharing honors with Fourier for be-
ing the most talked about ball player
with the White Sox. The lad who
wasn't good enough for the Boston
Red Sox three years ago probably is
feared more than iris Speaker of
those same Red Sox by more than
half the Clubs of the American league.

President Comiskey of the White
Sox kindly took Jack Fournier off
Jimmy McAleers hands when the
Youngstown man was head of the
American league team in Boston. The
Chicago Sox owner got Fournier for
a song. He paid $4,000 for Eddie
Collins and the Old Roman wouldn't
take that much cash for Fournier, the
big Frenchman he secured for almost
nothing.
Comiskey little dreamed that the
green youth from Moose Jaw would be
leading the American league in hit

from a club that didn't consider him
eligible for the big league. Jimmy
