DISHING UP SPORTS

New York sporting men who were
attending the races at New Orleans
a year ago last winter obtained true
line on the gameness Of Fred Fulton,
and for that reason many Of them
backed Dempsey at Harrison recently.
Fulton boxed twenty rounds in New
Orleans with Porky Flynn, a played
out heavyweight. Flynn, a good box
er, rot only out-pointed Fulton in a
majority of the rounds, but also made
him vince with blows in the stomach.
The fact that Fulton was unable to
put Flynn down at any stage of the
proceedings satisfied the New York
ers that he was little more than a
second rater. Fulton received the
verdict of the referee, who was round
ly censured for alleged unfairness.
Flynn escaped without scratch.
AS the curtain is about to descend
on big league baseball for this season
and for perhaps the duration Of the
war-we glance again at the Ameri-
can league batting averages and,
yep
He's still there, king again.
We refer to Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
He is batting around 1856, about
forty points ahead Of Burns of
the Mackmen, Speaker. Sisler,
Baker, and all those other bat
breakers. They can't catch him
before the show is over if he bats
the size Of his hat.
Sly weeks ago Tv was hating tn
keep his place above the 800 mark.
and the fans were debating whether
the honor would go to George Sisler,
Babe Ruth or some less notable stick
er. Then Tyrus began to hit.
He can take slump and still have
enough to win the batting champion
ship by good margin.
Ty has the habit of finishing strong
ly, and it will not be surprising if he
climbs above the 400 mark before
the season ends He has been hitting
well above that mark since he began
his squirt some weeks ago.
The Pirates of today are remi-
niscent of the Pirates of old-on
the score card-as the names Of
Tommy Leach and Babe Adams
appear thereon. Both of the fam
bench.
There will be enough players out
side Of the draft age limits to carry
on baseball next year." says William
J. Clymer, noted minor league mana
ger now with the Giants, but it may
be necessary to change the major
leagues because of the excessive rail
road and Pullman rates. 1t might be
good plan to group the best cities
in the eastern and western circuits.
In the east. for instance, you could
have Boston, Brooklyn, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Toronto and Buffalo. A good league
in the west would be formed to in
clude Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, PittsburS, Louis
Vile and indianapolis.
The railroad jumps in both leagues
would be comparatively short and the
players salaries could be greatly re-
ruced A worlds series in the fall
between the pennant winners might
be a big event.
The plan is worthy of consideration
by the big league moguls.

MURRETTE

Metro used the beautiful estate or
Clifford B. Harmon, near Croton, N.
Y, for the staging of exterior scenes
in Social Quicksands," starring Fran
els X Bushman and Beverly Bayne,
which will be the feature of the pro-
gram at the Murrette theater Tuesday
only. Six hundred acres were at the
disposal of the Metro picture-makers
and practically every rural location
needed for this play was within range.
The country theater, which is built
of field stone, was used as the exter-
ior of hunting lodge, in which thrill
ling scenes of this photoplay occur.
For boating scenes, there was the
winding strea m, which is one of the
natural features of this estate. Scenes
were staged which show Mr. Bush
man as an angler, casting for trout.
AS to his luck, as a fisherman, you
must see the picture for the true facts
in the matter.

The Hermann and Brady
Collections Of
Paintings
BY Royal Cortissoz

A familiar development Of taste s
reflected in the collection OF pictures
formed by the late Ferdinand Hermann
which has just been placed on view at
the American Art Galleries. This en-
thusiast began years ago by purchas-
ing the works CT such modcrns as
Schreyer and Thaulow. But before he
died he was buying Northern and ltal-
ian Primitives. That is the way in
which many Of the best collections in
this country have been assembled; they
have grown in interest and value as
the owner has progressed in study Of
His subject. But thoy have only so
grown when the owner has had, to start
with. something Ike q genuine fair for

with types Of ordinary artistic ability,
he had also an Instinct for catching

The Birth Of Democracy,
With LYDIA Borelli, Opens
at New York Roof

"The Birth Of Democracy" a story
of the French Revolution, was pre-
sented by the Franco-American Film
Company at the New York Roof yes
terday morning.
AS rulo we do not like pictures
made across the seas. Our own are
much moro satisfactory, for in foreign
pictures the titles are bad, due per
haps to the translation; the men are
undersized and wear huge seal rings
on their middle fingers and princes are
always falling in love with circus
riders. But "The Birth of Democracy"
is quite different.
LYDIA Borelli is the featured player,
and she is decidedly likable person
and extremely good to. look at. She
has variety Of expressions, which
make her resemble so many different
persons that one could not decide Just
who it was she reminded him of
doesn't she look like Elsie Janis ~
asked one man Of his neighbor. "Why,
thought she resembled Maxine Ell
lott" answered his companion. While
some insisted that she looked just like
June Elvidge, and others said it was
Mary Garden whom she resembled.
Mile. Bore]li as Nine Fontnai is the
central figure round whom the story
of the revolution revolves
She is beloved by Tallien. one of the
leaders in the struggles Of 1892, sought
by Robesperre, the infamous dictator
of France, and is herself the paramour
Of Jean Query. All Of this is said to
be substantatcd By history; but,
whether this be true Or not, it makes
mighty good entertainment
The picture is excellent staged and
one can easily believe that the filming
CT it may have taken three years as
stated
The contrast between the callous
pleasure-loving ladies and gentlemen OF
the age and the half starved masses
who cried for bread in the streets is
wonderfully we'll brought out.
The mock trials, the ride in the rum
bling death carts and the terrible gull
lotine, are all shown.
Tyrant that he was. the death Of
Robespicrre seems almost too humble
to be portrayed. Shot and wounded
fatally. the flow of blood was stopped
and he was bandaged up so that he
might last long enough to be behead-
ed. And he was thrown under the
great knife mid the cheers and male
dictions of the crowd
1t has been stated that 10000 per-
sons were employed in the making of
'The Birth Of Democracy" and after
one has seen the picture this seems
a conservative estimate.
Mile. Borelli will visit America shortly
and will make public appearance when
| the picture is released II. u.

THE CHARACTER
J. Alexander Pierce

La Nouvclle Idole" is one of De
CurePs most curious plays, and it has
also been one of the most popular in
France. 1t was first produced in 1899
and was successfully revived in 1914.
Certainly one Of the authors three best
plays, it has less symbolism and more
restraint than his "Repas du Lion" and
"Fille Savage" De Curel. however,

widest public. The penetration and
>un'iety OF his psychology are lost Oh
me average audience, and the dia-
logne, although vigorous. is apt to be
obscure
Tho opening scenes appeared rather
unpromisng, the development of the
various elements of dramatic interest
beng considerably delayed, but the
nam Climax proved to be a situation
Q! singular power. A physician en-
Eaged IN the search for cancer cure,
nelIev'ng hat he had been successful,
lnoculated young girl with the virus
OF the disease. An cxtenuating circum-
stance was that she was supposed to be
dying of consumption. Upon discovering
that she had been providentially cured
Of that disease. he awoke to full real
lzntion of the crime he had committed.
When this point had been reached 1t
became apparent that there could be no
further dramatic development The au-
thor hastcned the conclusion, which
was simple and truly pathetic. Little
Antonctte, poor, ignorant orphan and
a firm believer in the teachings Of the
Church. learned that the doctor had
noculatcd her in a fainting fit. In
stead of blaming the doctor, who ac-
cused himself of being her assassin,
she made every effort TO console him.
Antoinette assured Or. Donnat that
IT he had proposed to experiment on
her she would have accepted She
wished to be sister of charity and to
consecrate her life to the sick. She
was now enabled to give her life all at
once instead of little by little. DR.
Donnat understood at last that he had
no right to sacrifice human life, and
IN order to atone for his sin he in.
oculated himself with the terrible dis
ease. The Doctors wife, who thought
that she did not love him, began tc

adore him when she discovered his
heroic act.
The play was carried mainly by Mile.
Tessier as Louise and M. Gournac as
DR.. Donnat, who acted their long
scenes with naturalness, sincerity
and depth of feeling that created a
profound impression. Mile. Tessier's
supreme moment was after Louise's
discovery of her husbands self-sacri-
flee, when she conveyed sense OF
transfguring exaltation. NJ. Gournac
had the greater opportunity. In spite
of his seeming calmness, he managed
to give an effect of the great despair
that consumed him.
