Brooklyn Club Goes To Fifth Place By
 Beating Poor Pirates

New York, May 26-Wilbert Robin sons hustling gladiators swung into fifth place in the National league pen- nant scramble at Ebbets Field yester- day afternoon by again trounc1ng the lowly Pirates. This time the Flatbusn clan eliminated Wilbur Cooper. the left-hander, from the pitching mound as early as the third inning and won the struggle by 4 runs to 3.
 Incidentally it was the seventh suc- cessful drive for the Robins in their last eight starts against the invasion of the Western teams and their third straight win.
 Once more George Cushaw and his mighty busy war club were instru- mental in the victory of the Brooklyn team. The second baseman made three clean hits and was cracked in the ribs by pitched ball in four visits to the home plate. He scored Hickman from second in the opening inning with a two-bager to left and
 the same player again in the fourth with a blow over second.
 Not only is the second baseman hit ting, but on a number of occasions lately he has electrified the crowds | by making sensational one-hand stops. Leon Galore, who pitched for the | champions, like Cutshaw increased his | batting average with a trio of safe shots.

It ran there 20 weeks and played to such tremendous business that it was soon seen on the Great White Way with such famous stars in the cast as Jane Cowl and John Mason It continued there up until a few months ago, making a record in New York City for the number of performances played. All the critics were of the opinion that Common Clay" contained the most human story of the present gen. eration that it was possible to con- ceive.

She works hard and in order to make the balance wheel swing even she is trying to get little pleasure out of life And there is where she seems as if she is the sort of a girl toward whom all men seem to rivet their at tention. Being of the feminine sex and being of an age where girls seem to desire attentions from men, she quite naturally falls into one of the pitfalls which beset her on all sides.
 It would spoil the play for you if we were to tell how Ellen Neal finally comes to her senses and takes a place in the world of which no one could ever have believed she was capable. It is a truly great play and you will enjoy every moment of it.
 Miss Spooner will be seen in the star part; and as she has been making a careful study of it for some time she will be sure to give a splendid characterization. Special scenery is being built and this is sure to be one of the best stock productions ever seen here.

For instance, in Her Bet- ter Self we took many of the scenes in one of the most famous neighbor- hood charity houses in the country and learned much of the practical side of the work. We saw the hun dreds of poor people that beneft each day from thee busy centres of char tty--mothers sent away with their arms piled high with food and clothes Tor their little ones. children suffering from neglect or cruelty relieved and all sorts of misery alleviated It has made me form a resolution to do more than ever toward helping this wonderful work along" and with this the energetic star hurried away at the call of her director.
