act: Nell O'Connell. rosebud of song,

ville's cleverest equilibristic trio. There
will be two other acts to appear.

be a week of Alger Lancaster's Koon-
sisting of ten singers and dancers
This promises to be one OF the best
entertainments that has appeared at
the Majestic theater this season. This
colored musical tabloid company has
been a vaudeville act all season, play
pany has been in Camp Funston for
the last three weeks and at the end Of
the Topeka engagement will return
for a. four to six-week run in the
camp.

1T IS HARD BLOW
New r. II. Rates Will Cost Club
Owners q Pile.
Coast League Will Transport
Players In Autos.

New York, June 15.-The high cost
of baseball, viewed from the stand
point of the magnate. has another
item added to the steadily mounting
bill with the incl eased railroad fares.
1t has been estimated that the expense
of transporting the major league club
teams about the country has increased
fully a quarter of a million dollars this
season as compared with the rates
prevailing year or two ago.
Veteran big league baseball officials
state that the average mileage Of such
a club will equal about 10000 miles
each year when figured over period
of several seasons. Some clubs Will
run above these figures and others be-
low, according to the manner in which
the schedule breaks for them from
year to year. but an average or 10000
miles can be counted upon as about
correct for the purpose of estimating
increases.
In ante-bellum days the rate thru
out the various states included in a
. major league circuit averaged about
two and one-half cents per mile per
member of the party. This gave a
total of about $4,000 per player per
season with several hundred dollars
additional for Pullman reservations
during long trips. This particular
item was offset to some extent by the
saving IN nOlel plllS Wnere night jumps
were made.
Minors Hit Hard.
Under the new ruling the rates are
increased almost cent a mile, in ad-
dition to the regular charges for spe-
cial reservation and the travel war tax
If all the travelling is done in Pull
mans the rate will be three and a half
cents per mill OF a total for a full
season of $3,500 per player plus a war
tax OF 8 per cent, equal to $3.50. To
this must be added the regular extra
charge for sleeping berths or chairs
where long night or day trips are
made.
While the major leagues can prob
ably meet this additional expense
without serious financial setback, the
same cannot be said of the various
minor organizations. 1t will undoubt-
edly cut heavily into tine narrow mar
gin which now marks the difference
between profit and loss in the minor
league club accounts The problem is
already receiving careful study from
baseball club officials all over the
country. The Pacific Coast league
will try the experiment of transport
ing players from city to city by auto
mobile and motorcars. while trolley
service has been suggested in the east

At the Palace Wednesday.

There is coming tomorrow to the
Palace theatre a Paramount. picture
which will feature the adorable Bill
lie Burke as the quaintest, most orig
inal heroine of filmdom. This is "The
Mysterious Miss Terry" in which Bill
lie Burke, who plays the title role, is
seen as an heiress in disguice living
at an ordinary boarding house. The
picture is full of romance, but is at
the same time one of the funniest
most entirely "human" pictures ever
poduced. It was directed by J. Searle
Dawley. Don't miss Billie Burke al
the Palace theatre.
Tonight, "Alimony," with an all
star cast, direct from Tally's theatre
Los Angeles, will be shown. 1t is a
