Broadway came out of the
Lenten morasses with a great
crash Monday night. Seven
plays wer eoffered, two of which
had tryouts here the week
previous.
AS to Myron Fagan's "Mis-
mates" the Gotham verdict was
about what it was here-heavy
and boresome drama. On
"Mercenary Mary" the critics
were quite favorably disposed
so far as its dancing was con-
cerned. Regarding the rest of
the play the consensus seems
best expressed by the Evening
Suns critic who said: "a few
more such shows and the tired
business man ought to exper-
fence a complete breakdown"
The big event, of course, was
the revival of Shaw's Caesar
and Cleopatra" with Helen
Hayes and Lionel Atwill. Others
were "Tell Ne More" with Lou
Holtz, with music by George
Gershwin; "The Four Flusher,"
with Sue McManamy and our
old friend, John Daily Murphy;
a revival of "Aren't We All?"
with Cyril Maude; the Gilbert
and Sullivan operetta, Princess
Ida" with Tessa Kosta.

NEW YORK, May 13.-(P)-A piece of detective work appropriately un- derhes the newly established Police Academy which Commissioner En- right has dedicated as the future West Point of the nations bluecoats.
 Last year police headquarters was agog over the mysterious and pro- longed absence abroad of Inspector John J. Noonan, now the academy's 8 first commandant. He had slipped away with no one knowing it, and the question was: "Who was he af. ter?
 The question was never answered for it developed that the inspectors secret mission was merely to dc some quiet and correspondingly freer sleuthing the police the world over in order to make the present Palice Academy the sum of the latest inter national ideas in police training.

 Shrunken from the army of 6OO,OOO men who were under arms at the peak of the strife between the states, to not more than 35,000, the veter- ans organization will be able to bring perhaps 1000 of its member ship to Dallas, it's leaders state. With them will gather about 10000 Sons of Veterans. who will meet for their thirtieth annual reunion. It will be the thirty-fifth reunion of the United Confederate Veterans.
 The Confederated Southern Me1n- orial association also will meet at this time for it's twenty-sixth annual convention.
 The men who stepped forth to the rattle of the drums in the conflict of the sixties, will bivouac again about their camp fires here to retell the story of the war. Accommoda' tions for quartering the visitors are being arranged at Fair Ground Park.

 Runs Alter Eighth Inning

Philadelphia, June Is P-The Philadelphia Athletics retained their lead in the American league pennant race today after one of the greatest eleventh hour rallies yesterday in the history of baseball. Incidentally they again proved that a baseball game is not lost until the last man IS out.
 Coming into the eighth inning eleven runs behind, the Athletics heavy-hitting machine swung into action and did not stop until ls run ners had crossed the plate, giving them a IT to IS victory over the Cleveland Indians. The climax to the barrage was a home run by Al Simmons which sent in the tying and winning runs.

 Many of the 5000 fans had left the stands in the belief that the game was lost when the Athletics came to bat in the eighth with the score Is 10 4 against them. Here Miller, who had gone the entire route for the Indians, weakened, and | the fireworks started. Speece, Yowell and then Uhle were sent to the mound by Manager Speaker in an effort to stem the tide, but neither was effective. The entire Athletic team batted around durins the inning, several of them having two turns before Simmons. with two men on bases, walloped the ball tc the top of the left field bleacher, for the circuit.
