Grif Seeking Pitchers

Clark Griffith is on a still hunt for
pitchers to bolster his depleted staff,
and hopes within a week or so to land
couple of promising youngsters.
Schafer. the southpaw who has done
such excellent work for Central High
School this season and last. has at
tracted the attention OF the pilot and
may be asked to go out to the park
and show his wares.
Attendance at the second Sunday
game yesterday fell about 1000 short
of equaling that of a week ago, the
paid admissions numbering a few
more than 1890. Considering that
the Nationals had not won a game for
a week and were playing the tall
enders in the race. this must be re-
garded as a splendid showing.
Eddie Foster continues to hit the
ball. When he beat out a slow roller
to Young yesterday he brought his
mark for hitting safely In consecutive
games up to thirteen.
Picinich failed to arrive In time to
get into the game yesterday. but Grin
is confident he will be on hand today
to catch Ayers in the fourth game of
the series. According to the manager,
Casey merely has been lent to At
lanta. the deal bringing Picinich here
involving Sam Crane. Merito Acosta
and a cash consideration. Bernie Boz
land or Bill James is expected to pitch
for the Tigers.
The game today will start at 4:30,
but the contest tomorrow will get
under way an hour earlier to enable
the Griffmen to catch a train for Bos-
ton. where they open a series Of i've
games in three days by playing a
double-header Wednesday.

Polls.

In What Could the Poor Girl Do?"
which opened at Polls Theater last
night for a weeks engagement. Mark
Swan has evolved farce Of abundant
hilarity. AS a matter of fact. the
greater part of the performance is
devoted rather to what the poor hus-
band did than What Could the Poor
Girl Dog" The play is a rather dar-
ing adaptation from the French Of
Keroul and Barre.
Hypnotism is used in explanation of
some situations which it would be
impossible to explain by the ordinary
customs and reasoning processes of
human kind.
The story is about a newly married
young physician who enters his hotel
suite to find male intruder there.
The husband Is noted for his sus-
pfcious and jealous disposition. The
intruder is clad in pink pajamas and
while In a hypnotic state has wander
ed from his room adjoining while the
bridegroom has gone in search Of his
brides lost handbag. Although the
two men do not know it at the time.

matters more interesting. the BRIDE
groom and bride, m the next act. visit
the home of the intruder. After many
complications. and much ranting and
threatening, the intruder's mistake is
explained to the satisfaction of the
husband and he .forgives his little
bride, who has been sadly neglected
almost entirely throughout the show,
SO that all ends happily.
George Broadhurst is the presenter"
of the farce and has cast 1t with play
ers Of recognized skill. including in
addition to Ernest Truck. who as the
intruder furnishes the bulk of the
amusement, the veteran W. ]. Fer
guson, Alphonse Either. Robert Ober.
Janet Travers. Leila Frost. Gerald

Amateur base ball should enjoy a
much better season this summer than
last. In fact. considering conditions
as they stand at present, 1t will be
something of surprise IL there is
not much better sport on the sandlot

either of the last two or three sea-

A year ago amateur base ball proved
almost a complete failure. The year
before it was not whole lot better.
and last winter it was thought that
practically no games would take
place this summer. However. three
leagues have got together and all are
playing regularly. Also some good
performances are being shown. In
the Departmental and Navy Inter-
bureau leagues there are players Of
unquestfoned worth. while the Navy

previous years Sunday ball has been
allowed to a certain extent. where no
adm, ission was charged. but it has
never been developed to it's highest
point. The allowing of a charge at
Sunday games ought to mean the

George ". Hobart's allegorical play.
Loyalty" sequel to Experience
opened at the Belasco Theater last
night. Mr.. Hobart has discovered
that an "allegorical play" lends itself
to the introduction Of song. dance and
music spectacles. much after the man
ner of the latter day revue. To ac-
centuate the "moralities" would al
most seem to entail a passing dis
closure of the present day immoral
ities," and the episode Of the Man
sion of Mammon" permits the intro
duction Of cabaret atmosphere.

accustomed to patriotic pleas during
