1.-THE Beauty We Dream
in the N0h Play

"HE Orient thinks and feels spa
TALLY in different plane from
the Occident. Its art is full of
empty spaces; it speaks often by
silence, and every hiatus has signih-
canoe. The Orient moreover is not SO
bashful about expressing its yearnings
toward ideality. Here is the Noh play,
which Yone Noguchi, poet, says in
"The Egost" (London) has as its aim
the expression of "thc beauty we
dream The writer continues:
"The aim of the Noh play, / have no
hesitation to say, is to express a desire or
yearning, not for beauty, but for the
beauty we dream; therefore the worth of
the play depends, not upon the truth or
humanity treated, but upon the total effect
of the beauty, which is poetry. When 1

Edgar Allan Poe's poetical principles are

we struggle by multiform combinations
among the things and thoughts of time to
attain a portion of that loveliness whose
very elements, perhaps, appertain to eter-

nations and rearrangements in the case Of
the Noll play is, of course, to make the ex-
preston OF eternal order more distinct end
beautiful And the Noh play is pleased,
simply by virtue of being emotional. to
understand this eternal order not as truth
morality, but as beauty which includes
all others the elements Of stories in the
plays are valuable only because they are
the means of approach TO the final great
end, which is to excite or elevate the soul

THE LAST VICTORY
 OF AURELIO HERRERA

It was twelve years ago today Sept. IS, 1906, that Aurelio Herrera defeat ed Kid Gooman in fifteen rounds at Chelsea, Mass. This was the last Of the long string of victories gained by the greatest of Mexican ring battlers. The dusky warrior retired from the arena after that fight. He tried to pull off a comeback stunt a year or two later, when he tackled Willie Fitzgerald in Boston, but he lost, and later he was defeated by Dick Fly land in Bakerfield, Cal. The Mexican was one of the classiest lightweights of his, time, but too great a fondness for "aguardiente" caused his ruin. If he had trained properly and left the hard stuff alone he might have won the championshoip. Herrera's first appearance in the limelight was when he fought Terry McGovern at San Francisco in 1901. The Brooklynite i knocked him out in the fifth round In 1902 he fought fifteen rounds with Abe Attell, but lost the decision The next year he knocked out Kit Broad Eddie Santry and other gooC
 men in Montana, where he was de feated by Battling Nelson in 1904 Herrera fought draws with Charle. Neary and Maurice Savers in Milwau
 kee, and knocked out Young Corbet
 at Los Angeles in 1906. In Angus
 of that year his old enemy, Neary
 knocked him out in the seventh roun

PROS AGAIN BEAT
 EVANS AND JONES

In an impromptu fourbal match over the links of the North Shore Country Club yesterday afternoon Charles Evans, Jr., and Bobby Jones again were defeated by Tom McNa- mara and Jack Bowling, professionals, by ? up. The match was not for the Red Cross, and as it rained in the early part of the afternoon only a small gallery attended. McNamara and Bowling had beaten the amateurs at Scarsdale on Sunday.
 The best individual scores were 74's, made by both the "pros." DowI- ing went out in 36 and came back in 3S, while McNamara had 37 each way. Jones had a S8 going and coming, but Evans after going out in 3S came back in 39 for a TT.
 The longest putt of the match was brought off at the ninth, where DowI- ing ran the rubber score in for a 2. Incidentally, the Scarsdale player was hitting a fine ball, outdriving the other three from nearly every tee.

FRANK CHANGE PASSES
 HIS 39th MILESTONE

Frank Leroy Chance will pass his thirty-ninth mileston tomorrow. The once Peerless Leader" who made millionaire out of the melliflueus Murphy the pudgy potentate of the Cubs, was born in Fresno, Cal, Sept. 19, 1879. He joined the Cubs as catcher and utility outfielder in 1898, and continued to play these positions until 1902. Frank Selee, who built up the wonderful Cub machine which Chance later inherited, decided that Frank would make a good first base man, and his opinion was fully Justi- fled by subsequent developments. For eight years he was the class of the National League on the initial bag, and during the first half of that per iod swatted over 300. When Selee retired in 1905, and the Cubs were sold to Murphy, the latter appointed Chance manager. By winning four pennants and two worlds series cham pionships flags he demonstrated his right to the title of Peerless Leader.
 In the spring of 1913 Chance took hold of the Yankees, being at the time the highest-salaried manager of l Ille game. IlS WdSJ HOWONOI, llOt much of a success as pilot of the New Workers. He had not such material to work with as fell to him in Chi cago as a legacy of Frank Selee, and this brought home to him the fact | that pennant-winning baseball teams are of slow growth, and where sue cess has come in one case, where 8 seasoned team is being handled, tha same success is very far off when . team has to be developed into a per. feet machine. Incidentally, Mo. Graw's first season as chief of the Giants was not much more successful than Chances initial year with th'

HONORS ARE EVEN
 IN PENNANT RACE

New York, Sept. 18-According to records, based upon the daily box scores of the major leagues, honors in the abbreviated pennant races of 1918 were well apportioned among they arious teams of the twoc ircuits. In the National League the Chicago Cubs, winners of the senior organiza- tion flag, accumulated the largest number of runs while the greatest number of hits rattled off the bats of the Cincinnati clan. St. Louis was charged with making the most errors; Boston had more runners stranded on the bases than any other club in the league while St. Louis was the easiest to score runs against.
 Among the American League teams Cleveland scored the largest number of runs while hitting honors went to | the Washington club. The combina- tion representing the Capitol City also made the. most errors and led in play CTS left on bases. The Detroit con- bination yielded the largest number
 of runs, the average being four and

 There will be a baseball game be- tween teams from Pelham Bay and Fort Slocum to wind up the proceed ings. AS the Navy defeated the Army by a score of 1 to last Saturday on the Polo Grounds, the Fort Slocum boys will have big incentive to re- deem their branch of the service.
