(By "Gravy.")

Charlie See. who has been obtain cd by the Cincinnati Reds from the Rochester Club of the International League in exchange for Emanuel Cueto. the diminutivc Cuban and a sum said to be S1O.0Oo, has had a rapid rise to minor league stardom. He was recruited by Arthur Irwin, manager of the Rochester Club. from a shlpyard in 'the vicinity of New York. and although he was n pitcher when he joined the Rochester club hc has been converted into an out fielder because of his hitting. See never played professional baseball un- til this season. but those who have followed his work predict that he will make good with the Reds. We shall see. Mir. See.

In the second game at the Polo Grounds yesterday there was a dupli- cate of that play of last Sunday. on which Iris Speaker. Cleveland man aEer. protested the Yankees victory of that afternoon. With the bases full. Frisch whacked a hot single to left. Ii scored Burns and Young. When Bressler's throw sailed into the New York duEout. Fletcher also SCOT ed. but QuiEley tried to stop him. Fletcher and McGiraw argued with him. and QuiEley appealed to O'Day. who ruled that the run counted. but sent Frisch back from third to sec ond.
 Schriebcr. the highly touted Red rhortstop recruit. with a great batting record with Waterbury in the New England League. proved quite an air carver after he succeeded Kopf in the gccond game. Douglas struck him out twice.
 As the crowd had shriveled to 12.- 900. the percentage of bottle throwers was considera bly less than on We'd uesday. After the Luque Benton feud got tho fans pretty well steamed up. somebody let q bottle fly at the Red duzout. A lot of pugnacious citizens were sitting in the area adjacent to the Red duEout- One of Uncle Sam-s mariners got into an imbroglio with several private citiezns, but the spe- cfaiA soon had the situation in hand.
 Benton and Barnes likely will try their hand against the Reds today. '--he Rube was in yesterdays game just long enough to get warmed up. rIoran will depend on Hod Eiler, the fhine baller. and Ray Fisher.
 Ring and Toney also hooked up In the first game of the Giant-Cincinnatl series fin Redland a few weeks ago. On that occasion Toney was knocked out. and Ring base on balled himself out of the contest. Yesterday they fought it out to q finish. Toney was well nigh hit proof. while Moran must have fed Ring with some antl-base on bail serum. zinlrns sure was able to con frol the bali.
 Heinic Grotl's fielding was immense in the first game. He made one great play after another. but his top notch effort came in tho seventh. when he speared Frisch's foul in front of one of the distant left field boxes. In the ninth Heinie converted q h ot smash by ITetcher into n double play.
 Judging from yesterdays showing uIoss Young has his eyes on the hall again. The team had been in quite a slump. but the boy Is a natural hitter. He got six bingles yesterday and that ought Co start him asain.
 Just before Benton was put out of tho second game he gave n pretty exhibition of pinch hitting. The Reds filled the bases. with none out, on Luque's infield hit. q casualty pass to Earidan and BressIer's base on balls With the top of the Zealand batting order up Cincinnati was unable to score, Rath popped to Fletcher, Dau- bert forced Luqus at the plate and after Benton had three balls and no strikes on -Groh he forced Heinie to go out on an easy hoist to Kauff.

POLES.

Pathe News precedes the vaudeville at Poli's. and is full of interesting events, showing among other things the reception accorded General Per shing during his recent visit in Lon don. The parade of the 2nd division CMarines) in New York is another very interesting feature.
 George Moore and Bellaine headline the vaudeville bill. MT. Moore is un- questionably one of the best come dians in vaudeville. and Miss Bellaine possesses a pleasing personality, a good voice, and is an exceptionally graceful dancer. She sang Sweet heart Will You Rem enber?" and 'fMaytime" well, and the duet, By the Camp Fire,' was well received.
 Green and La Fell. melody and lyric specialists, are a great team. Mir. Green. who was formerly pianist al posed one of the numbers sung, and is an accomplished musician at his in strument. Miss La Fell puts her songs over in good shape.
 Emily Darrell, with her bulldog, in Late for Rehearsal is a clever com edienne. and in her natural and un- affected manner kept the audience ir an uproar.
 The Brominos, who open, are as good as the average headliner, being musical comiques, with entirely orig ina1 ideas.
 D'Amour and Douglas, whose hand to hand balancing is nothing short o1 marvellous. complete the best vaude- vile bill of the season.
 Wallace Reid in You're Fired" is better than he has been in any pie ture since '"The Source'' Altogether we can truthfully say , that the bill for the first half of the week is the best bill from start tc finish that has been seen in Bridge port the entire season. There is not a weak spot on it.

 The vaudeville headliner Here and There,' with Rags Leighton (himself) and assisted by Phil Shea, Catherine Redfield, Jeanette Fielding. Anna Fielding, Mort Shea and Al Fon- taine, offer an up-to-date minstrel act that is possessed of new songs, clever dance and bright comedy bits. The harmony throughout the act is excel lent. Some solos are rendered in a capable manner by all the mem- bers. Harry Ellis and Dave Irwin created a surprise in the novelty of flee scene and from the looks of it everyone thinks that a sketch is go- ing to take place. After a brief dra- stage and display splendid voices in series of songs. The act is one that pleased immensely and an en- plause they received. Charles Din gle and Co. in "A Bit of Blarney" have a pretty Irish skit in which much comedy and song is disported. MT. Dingle has a good tenor voice and sings, the songs made famous by Chauncey Olcott, Emmett. F'iske O'Hara and Scanlon. The act was rendered a good share of applause. Bicknel1, a clay modeler, was very clever in the making of different inn ages. GaNmont News and Topics of , the Day were interesting, as usual.
