seventh consecutive game in the sec

on the Y. NJ. c. A. court last night,
by taking the long end Of IL to 10
score in a game with the Ms.
John Gerstenberg pulled defeat
out OF the fire in the last minute of
play by registering a double counter
from a difficult angle while being
closely guarded. Gersternzerg's goal
established a one point margin that
the victors were able to overcome
during the few remaining seconds Of
the game.
Joe Norous' aggregation played
hard and threatened to break the
Y's winning streak. They held a four
point lead on their opponents at half
time but were able to connect with
the basket only once in the second
period.
In the opening contest the C's
scored a 27 to 80 victory over the

some snappy passing, and frequent
scoring from the field. Archie

GIFT SHOWER
FOR ]. \. BAYLIS
Friends Remember Grand
Old Man as He Enters
8Oth Year
KNEW ARTISTS
OF LONG AGO

Jesse X. Baylis. sos West street,
celebrated his 18th birthday ami
versary yesterday. He received many
post cards, letters and gifts from
friends. These included two bou-
quets from ST. Johns Commandery,
No. 4. Knights Templar, and Wash
ington Lodge. A. F. and A. NJ, Of
which ne is a member. other gifts
included a box filled with seventy
nine huge apples, a gift from his
brother-in-aw, Henry Park Mason,
of this city. Another gift was a
birthday cake from his son and
daughter-in-law. Mr and Mrs. Ros-
coe Baylis.
Mr.. Baylis. who is employed in
the shipping department Of the Lip
pincott store, was manager Of the
Grand Opera House for twenty-seven
years and has many fond mem
ories OF the big-timers who strobe
the stage of the Grand opera House.
At his home he has a gallery Of many
OF these actors and actresses, many
OF whom are now dead. Il have
about twice as many" he said, show
ing a friend the pictures but have
no room to put them"
Among the pictures in his gallery
are those OF Edwin Booth, Charlotte
Cushman, Fanny Januscheck. James
w Wallock, Jr., Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Chanfrau, Susan Denim. Maggie Nit
chell. Mr.. and Mrs. Burney Williams.
Charlotte Thompson, william j..
Florence, Joseph jefferson, Mary
Price, Charles Fretcher and Joseph
X. Emmett.
There are few players today
with the ability OF those Of yester-
day" Mr.. Baylis said. Naming over
some OF the shining lights OF bygone
days, he said he could think of but
three players on the stage today who
could equal them. The three were
Mantell. Sothern and Marlowe, who.
he said. were in his opinion, equal to
any OF the old timers.
Mr.. Baylis. in giving a reason for
this. said the plays have changed,
and have lost much OF the dramatic
force, which in olden days character
lied the popular plays. He still re-
tains his interest in the theatre, and
when any OF the old timers visit Will
mington he looks them up to talk
over old times, and TO hear OF their
successes since they appeared on
his stage.
His wife, Mrs. Ellen Kendall Bay
ii. who will be "A years OF age June
2S, is also interested in the stage, and
many stories are told to her by some
OF the favorites OF former years. One
which she related to a friend yester-
day had as its central character
Charles Fretcher. the well-known
French actor. Frechter, who was
proud OF Paris. appeared one day be
fore the Queen of England, and, ir
the course OF his conversation, re-
ferred time and time again TO the
French city.
The Queen listened attentively Ia
his narrative. and then said to him
"Ah. you have your Apaches. Of
Frechter looked at her and smiled.
True, Your Majesty" he answered,
'4The same as England has her Irish" "
Last night the immediate members
OF the family gathered at the Baylis
home to celebrate the anniversary
Among those who attended were the
three sons of the couple: Ros-
coe F. Baylis, sos West Eleventh
street. 50 years OF age Thursday
wynard L. Baylis, 50 years OF age
living with his parents. and Lester
X. Baylis, 43 years old, also living
with the parents.
