A very interesting problem is solved at the Coliseum in the play "The De- lenders with Emmy Wchlen playing the star part.
 As Helen Pettingil, Miss Wehlen plays the daughter of a rich Middle Westerner, who has made his money in oil. In New York they have every thing but social distinction, and the story revolves around handsome young man. who is induced by the girls father to pose as snobeman in order to please her. The young man subsequently is discovered to be genuinely a man of title and after many exciting incidents. the girl has her wish and wcds an earl.
 The play moves through the high life of New York and in the Adiron- da acks. It is the atmosphere that the largest number of persons in the world would like to live in and breathe in, if fortune would permit The play might be called a play of the classes. Its peo- pie are those with money and those who are trying to get it away from them. It is sumptuously staged, and as a production it is a finished, highly polished product Love dominates if, beauty radiates through it and money oils it wheels of progress.
 This play, the good comedy and a weekly are for the remainder of the week.

MILITARY WORK DICNIFIES THE
 BASEBALL GAME
Army Discipline Working Wonders with Diamond Men Says Yankee
 Huston.

That military training for the baseball players will lend dignity and grace to the game is the firm belief of Captain Til Huston. of the Yankees
 Captain Huston, who has seen service in the United States army, originated the plan for drilling the thusiastically by other club owners in the American League and boost highly by President Ban Johnson.
 During the spring operations of the Yankees at Macon, Ga, the members of the squad have been U. s. A., and, according to Cap tain Huston, the results are sur prising.
 Instead of slouching to the plate with a bat dangling behind them. Bill Donovan's boys now carry themselves erect, with brisk step and more vigorous bearing than they did in the past. They carry out orders of the manager with a promptness that has enabled Wild Willyum to do nearly double the work in practice session, and the ticeable, whether they are in uni form or wearing citizens clothes
 Most of the American League clubs have made efforts to spend a part of the time in giving their players a taste of military life and a willingness that is surprising When the plan of Captain Huston was first made public many thought that the players would take it as a joke. But instead of making fun of the drills or attempting to bur lcsque them, the athletes go about their drills with seriousness.
 Next fall, when the pennant races are decided and the worlds series out of the way, training camp for the players is to be established in the South, and the boys will devote all of their time for a certain per iod to serious military training It is believed that many players from leagues all over the country will enter the camp. Captain Huston says he believes baseball will be enabled in this way to offer the country a full regiment of well trained men.
 The government could not find better material for military pur- poses than the ball players. Strong, healthy and athletic, the ball play CT represents the sturdiest type of American citizen, and, as rule. the players keep themselves in con dition the year round.
 Where could Uncle Samuel find better soldiers?
 don't no unles he got em out of an printin' office?!?!?!?
 Nowhere that I can think of" says Captain Huston, "and be- lieve that a big per cent. of the players would be among the first to respond in a pinch. They will hit the ball for Uncle Sam with just as much vigor and determination IS they swat the offerings of the pitchers. And the training they have had will show to advantage on the field of play

A lot of criticism has been lev e1led at Ty Cobb for the fighting methods he employs in baseball. But Tyrus comes right back with the statement that he is in baseball, heart and soul. and that he never intentionally spiked any players in his life. Cobb points out that he makes the slide into base quick and short and that this explains his success in stealing bases. If a man is hurt it is not his fault.
