"The Beauty Shop"

Ge- best have yet been responsible for. will open at the Jefferson theatre for three days, Thursday. Friday and Saturday, and Saturday matinee.

phillicS Protest Loss.

BOSTON, April 1S.-The Philadel-
phia Nationals have protested Boston's y
l2-inning victory yesterday Manager
Moran announced today. a decision
by Umpire Bransfield, who declared
Pitcher Lavender Of the Philadelphia
ans out for running off the line be-
tween second and third bases in the
third inning when Philadelphia scored
five runs. was the basis Of the com
plant. Lavender had started to cross
the diamond from second. apparently
believing he had been called out ON
play at that base, but turned and
reached third before the ball was
thrown to that position. Manager
Moran said his protest was based on
the ground that runner cannot be
legally retired for leaving the base
lines unless intending to avoid being
touched.
