WOLGAST SUSPENDED.
Former Champ Draws a Six Months
 Layoff For Contract Violating.

New York, Dec. 21.-Chairman Frederick A. Wenck of the State Ath- letic commission yesterday carried out his threat against Ad Wolgast the for mer lightweight boxing champion and inflicted six months suspension on the western pugilist. Realizing that he had little chance to save himself from punishment Wolgast did not appear at the special meeting of the commis- sion at Al Park Row, and the sentence was pronounced against him in his ab- sence. The penalty will not seriously affect the former title holder, as he contem plates an early return to the west, where the commissions ruling will not be effective.
 Wolgast was charged with having engaged in boxing contest at Allan ta last week, which was direct viola ton of his contract with the Harlem Sporting club, which stipulated that Wolgast must not engage in any bout until after he had boxed Leach Cross at the Harlem Sporting club last Fri day night.
 Chairman Wenck did not think the public had received fair deal, as there was nothing apparent in Wol- gast's condition to prevent his cOntin- uing ten rounds against Cross. In- stead Wolgast quit the contest just after the half way mark had been reached.

Philadelphia, Penn., Dec. 21.-John Mann, second baseman and captain of next springs baseball team at the uni- versity of Pennsylvania, has left col lege to engage in business. Mann's loss is a severe blow to Penn's base ball prospects, for he was a star in- fielder as we'll as a heavy slugger. Mann's successor probably will not be elected until after the team has played 8 few of it's gamessN
 If a senior member of the team is chosen. as is usually the case, the pos sible candidates for the captaincy are Larry Murdock, Lou Shimpf, Chick Valiant and Bud Eichelberger.

KAUFF WAS ONCE
 A NEAR PIRATE
Dreyfuss Refused to Part With $5, ,OOO So Clarke Lost Famous
 SIuCCor


 Benny Kauff, leading hitter of the Federal League, who will be eagerly sought when peace terms are signed, might have been with the Pirates if Barney Dreyfuss had exercised some of the keen,. sound judgment which has made him famous in baseball. He offered $2,5OO for Kauff when Benny was with Hartford, but the Connecticut club asked $5,0O0. This sum Barney refused to say, 1 and when the drafting time came I around he did not even put in a l claim for him. Indianapolis did, and got him for $75O-the drafting price Then Benny made his famous leap to the outlaws.
 But Kauff was not the only star lost to the Pirates. Grover Cleve- land Alexander, the star of the Phil lies, could have been had for little 1 money. Alexander was with Indian apolis for a while, and was recom- mended to Dreyfuss, but to no avail, and went back to Syracuse for more 1 seasoning. With the Salt City team Alexander developed wonderfully, l and the Phillies got him at the ! drafting price of $750.

NATIONAL

Maude Adams will come to the New
National Theater this week in three
plays. two of them new to this city. and
the third one in which she won favor
in previous seasons. The new plays are
the Legend of Leonora" and The
Ladies' shakespeare which. in a dou-
BILE bill. will be the offering at the
night performances Monday, Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday, and the play
to be revived is Quality Street." which
will be the bill at the night perform
anccs Tuesday and Saturday and at the
Wednesday and Saturday lnatinees.
Chief in Importance is The Legend
of Leonora." which is the first long
work by Barrie since What Every
Woman Knows" 1t has had runs in
London and New York. and in Miss
Adams hands it has had much sue
cess. The comedy shows Barrie in a
mood marveling at the depths of
mother love-not a new theme. but
one that the dramatist handles in
novel fashion, for the heroine of his
comedy is no less than murderess.
She is sweet, charming, adorable and
all that, but Leonora is really a muir
dereSs.
She was in railway compartment
with her little girl \ brute Of a man
had the window open. The day was raw
ana the ch1ld had Il SnlftE cola. Leon
ora asked the man to shut the window
and he refused. So what was Leonora
to do? She had to protect the health
of her child, so she simply pushed the
man off the car and he fell to his
death. Why any one should make a
fuss over her action she cannot under
stand, for she felt we'll within her
rights as Il mother This is the cruX
of the play. Its humor lies in the ef-
forts to prove that Leonora committed
no crime, all because she is a woman
and adorable.
Two of the acts are laid in a court
and are filed with travestry and satire.
Miss Adams plays the capricious. way
ward Leonora. and the role is declared
one of the best Barrie has given her.
The Ladies' Shakespeare" is de-
scribed as being "one woman'S reading
of notorious work called The Tamin z
The old comedy has been rearranged

Quality Street is one of Barrie s
early successes. 1t will be remembered
as a sweetly romantic comedy of a
