AFOOL THERE WAS
HAS BIG AUDIENCE
Magnificent Tragedy Played
by Capable Company
at the Grand.

The thrilling drama, "a Fool There
Was" written by Porter Emerson
Browne, with kipling's well known
poem, THE Vampire" as the theme,
held spellbound capacity audience at
the Grand Theatre last night from tho
beginning to the end of the play.
The magnificent tragedy was given
under the auspices OF the local Elks
and was creditable TO this popular or.
ganization In every particular as well
as 10 II. L. Mccoy, under whose pro.
gressive management the Grand will
present during the coming season a
splendid list OF other high grade at
fractions.
Fairmont society turned out almost
en- masse last night and the play
house was filled with well dressed PEG.
pie, who appreciate and enjoy high
class legitimate drama produced by
able players.
The terrible story Of the wrecking
of happy home as the result OF the
almost llendish fascination OF paint.
ed woman, THE Vampire" and the
unavailing efforts OF faithful friends
10 save the brilliant young husband
from the hideouS pit of destruction to
which THE Vampire" drags him, is in
brief the story OF the play.
F. B. Hersome did excellent work in
the stellar role as THE Husband"
from the happy, ambitious business
man devoted to his wife and child in
the early part OF the play, until the
last scene of the last act. where he
dies tragically horrible death. Olin
Field gave him such able support in
the role Of the fascinating painted
woman, The Vampire" as 10 lead
the audience to forget for the moment
that outside the play she probably is
not vampire at aIl. Edwin Redding,
who played the part of Mr.. Tom. the
clever. wholehearted, honest friend,
pleased the audience immensely and
added the one touch Of real humor to
the tragedy. Ceci!e Holmes, as THE
Wife," did especially excellent work
In the last act.
Marcella Shields, in the part OF
THE Child" appealed strongly to the
audience for she played the rather DIFF.
ficult juvenile part with cleverness
and spontaneity. Walter Moore de.
picted the typical stiif.necked, stiff.
backed English butler In a way that
got several laughs. Jack Welsh, as
THE Secretary" Edwin G. Bruins, as
1.-THE Steward" J.. D. Gordan. as
Young Parmalee," and Amy Donnelly,
as 1.-THE Sister," played their roles Ell.
fectively, giving excellent support to
the leading characters.

bined fielding average OF 1854, and a
batting average OF .265; the Boston
quartette, consisting OF Hoblitzel, Bar.
ry, Gardner and Scott show a grand
average OF .962 in the field and .254
at bat.
Comparing these players, position
by position. the figures indicate that
Luderus is better hitter and fielder
at first than Hoblitzel. with the base
stealing ability about equal and the
Red Sox's sackman holding an ad-
vantage in sacrifice hitting for Luder,

ages 1891 to Hoblitzel's .9S6. At sec
ond, where Barry and Siehoff are like
~ to be the leading performers, the
former Athletic star outshines the
player secured by the Phillies from
Cincinnati in exchange for former
Manager Charles Doom. Barry has
batted 80 and felded 1865 this sea-
son to Niehoff's .939 and .943. Me.
hoif is much faster on the bases, hav-
ing stolen nineteen sacks to Barry's
zero in this department OF play. Bar
ry, however, has shown far greater
steadiness In the field and has bet

AT third the fans who witness the
series, will have an opportunity to
compare the work OF Gardner and
Stock, for the latter is likely to be

his record for the season shows that
he is harder hitter and better fielder
than Byrne. although figar:xs in but
half the number of games credited TO
Byrne. Stock has fielding average
about 80 points better than Gardner.
but is IA points shy of the Red Sox
third sacker's batting ability. Gard.
ner is superior In base running and
Is credited with more sacrifice hits,
but is apparently less steady in the
handling OF difficult chances.
Comparing the records of the rival
shortstops It is seen that Bancroft,
the Philadelphia player, has much
better average with the bat, but falls
below Scott. the Boston player. in
fielding. Bancroft has played in al.
most all the games of the season and
his averages are: Batting, .245; field.
ing, .g2l. Scott in less than 100 games
has batted 1874 and fielded .96S. In
base stealing and sacrifice hitting
Bancroft's record shows to advantage
over SCOTS, while the latter Is con.
sidered to be steadier fielder.
II is perfectly apparent from study
OF the seasons averages that both
Manager Moran and Manager CARR
gan have considered their arrange.
ment of the infieids from other angles
than mere batting and /elding records
alone, for harmonious teamwork and
skillful fielding combinations cannot
always be expressed or proved b.

infielders OF both clubs. taken from
the latest unofficial averages, are at.
