MANY who have been victimized by

in the new two-act feature, "The
Swindler," powerful. dramatization
OF Herman Buers famous story, which
will be offered as headline attrac-
ton at the Empire theater today. 1t
tells how Bess, country girl, blinded
by Harris wealth, becomes his wife
in spite of the fact that she had prom
Used to marry a former school mate.
Tom, who holds an honest affection
for the girl, learns that a widow has
been robbed of every penny she pos
sessed by Harris, who is promoting
dishonest financial proposition.
Bess, in the meantime, has remained
in ignorance of the manner in which
her husband obtains the money which
goes to buy her every luxury. She
learns the true situation when Harris
is exposed by the authorities. A world
OF heart-interest is contained in The
Swindler." Alice Joyce and Guy
Combes have leading roles in the pro-
duction.
An attempt is made in the one-act
comedy, He Was a Travelling Man"
to show that the most inquisitive PEG

Mildred Pierce, Arthur Werner and
Gerald Meyton add much to the sue

poem. Runa Hodges is intrusted with
a most important role as the daugh-
ter of the Fool, and her natural,
naive, child-like manner of handling
her part must endear her to every be-
holder.
Edward Jose, as the Fool, has a diff
ficult role and one Of which he is in
perfect control at all times, He has
developed the art of "making-up" to
e science, which is necessity in
this part.
: "A Fool There Was" will run
through the present week at the new
ly decorated Bijou and, with the new
opera chairs there is no chance of
setting poor seat at this house while
the view is perfect from every seat
owing to a readjustment of the pro-
lection curtain.

Match on West Side
Courts.

Winning the doubles championship
of the West Side Tennis Club did not
require much of an expenditure Of
energy on the part of Frederick {.
Bsggs and William A. Campbell at For
est Hills yesterday. They disposed Of
J. c. Tomlinson, jr, andzG. ". Mac
Mullen in a match that lasted only q
shade more than half an hour and in
which the result was never in doubt.
The score was GO, 81, 6-3.
Baggs and Campbell hit too hard,
were too experienced and too fast for
their opponents. In every other re
spect the teams were probably we'll
matched.
Baggs was in particularly fine fettlc.
He was up at the net frequently and
did most of the decisive work for his
side. lie found his openings quickly
and showed equally good control in
overhead smashing as in volleying. If
he does as well this afternoon against
Watson NJ. Washburn in the final Of
the singles championship the latter will
have no easy time retaining his club
title.
The pair met few weeks ago in the
postponed semi-tinal. of the Country
Club OF Westchester tournament. and

which brought the game TO n close. II
was a drop ball, which started high,
and swooped down over the plate, just
chest high.
Holke Worries Coombs.
If Holke ended the game with a
strike-out, he caused Coombs some anx-
ious moments earlier. He poked out
two singles, and advanced TO third base
OF his blow in the eighth inning when
Hi Myers allowed the ball TO get
through his legs and roll almost to the
centre field fence. Bill Rariden then
looped one toward right field that
looked good for hit, but George Cut
shaw darted back and pulled the ball
down over one shoulder. II was a fine
play and cut off a run.
The break in the game came in the
fourth inning. With one out Daube TT
rolled one TO Fletcher. which went for a
hit, and Jake got TO second when Her
zog dropped throw By Rariden. Hi
Myers famed while Jake was dashing
to second, and so the issue was suuarely
up TO Buck Wheat. Buck faced il
squarely and cracked the leather into
left field for a single, scoring Daubert.
In the eighth inning Anderson came into
the box and the Robins got another run.
Miller singled and advanced 10 sec
ond when Coombs was out at first.
Johnston walked. and Daubert's tap TO
the box filled the bases. Anderson cut
loose a wild pitch, scoring Miller, but
Myers famed, and the frame was over.
Big Chance for Giants.
The Giants had fine chance TO score
right in the first frame. With one out
Herzog and Robertson singled to short,
and after Zim flied out. Fletcher was
passed, filling the bases, but Kauff
Whitfield for the third out.
II was Nap Rucker Day at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon. The great
southpaw celebrated the tenth ami

Charles II. Ebbets set the day aside.
Nap played host for the l4th Regi-
ment. and Bum, the burro mascot from
McAllen. The soldier boys marched
into the field, headed by their brass
band, and trooped across the diamond.
The lanky Yankee boys received royal
welcome from the crowd, and they made
brave showing indeed.
Rucker was remembered by the
Brooklyn club. He received a check for
$500, and Charles II. Ebbets gave him
5000 in gold. The players remembered
the Georgian, too
