SCOTIAS FAVORITE

Scotia's favorite boxer, Johnny
Dundee, whose very name is redolent
Of the heather of Bonnie Scotland,
will pass his twenty-third birthday
today. It must be admitted, however,
that for a Scotchman Johnny has a
strange frankness for spaghetti, which
may be due to the circumstance that
he was born in Sharkai, Italy, and
started life as a Carrora. It was his
manager, Scotty Monteith, who is a
bona fide son of ST. Andrew, who
wished the name of Dundee on his
protegee. AS featherweight and light
weight the little Itaian-Scotchman
has whipped some Of the best lads in
the game. Last summer Dundee ran
over and killed boy who jumped in
front Of his automobile from the
running board of a taxfcab, and this
unhappy accident put the New York
boy out Of the pugilistic running for
a time. Johnny is one of the best
Italian boxers the fistic game has
ever had.

given by the Lyric all-star stock play
ers, now in, their fourth week is fully
up to the high standard Of excellence
Of their three previous offerings.
1.-THE Deep Purple" is one Of the
most vital and intense melodramas Of
modern writing.
The Lyric players, under the per-
sonal stage direction of Alexander
Leftwich, are giving a highly credita-
BILE performance all the way through
the four acts.
Miss Ethel Wa1dron, as Doris

and highly artistic rendition. Bernard
Thornton, a former Lyric favorite

was with the Cubs during the Chance
regime, and before that he had spent
several an9ums in Brooklyn. Born
in York, Pa, Nov. %, 1879, he played
semi-pro ball in Lancaster, and was
with Portsmouth in the Virginia
league and Brockton in the New Eng
land circuit before he joined the
Brooklyn Nationals in 1898. During
the war between the National and
American leagues Jim alternated be-
tween the Brooklyn Nationals and the
Baltimore Americans, leaping from
one to the other no less than eight
times. According to- old Artie Hoff-
man, who was Sheckard's playmate
in the old Cub days, Sheckard pulled
off more novel and brilliant plays
than any other man on the team,
and there wasn't a player in the
league who could beat him when it
came to creased lightning thinking.
At the races he played a wise bunch,
And Of kale he won quite a bunch;
He invested-the dub
In minor league club,
And now he is eating free lunch.

ADJUSTABLE LIGHT.
A new form of electric portabl

A new form of electric portable
lamp, the light from which is adj
Unstable, is being brought out in Ger
many, according to the London Elec-
trician A small spiral resistance in
series with the lamp and switch is
mounted above the battery. The re-
sistance can be readily varied by the
motion of a small knob at the side
of the case, the brightness of the
lamp being thus altered within the
limits Of maximum intensity and a
dull red glow. This enables current to
be economical when only a small
amount Of light is needed, prolong-
ing the life Of the lamp and battery.
The resistance is also useful in pre-
venting the tendency to overrun the
lamp unduly when a new battery is
substituted for the old one.
