Every once in so often this
American stage of ours re-
quires a certain amount of re-
filming, uplifting, general over
hauling and spring house-clean-
ing. Like any endeavor, spice
and zest must be added from
time to time to keep up a high
standard. If things were al
lowed to rollick along in the
same hundrum manner month
in and month out, we'd find
ourselves in a state of doldruns
which would soon drive folks
from US through sheer ennui.
And probably such a pre-
hide explains in a measure why
the team of baseball comedians,
Altrock and Schacht which AL
trock calls "Altrock and Sapp,"
is sent to the Earle Theater
during the present canto, which
is q way of saying the cur
rent week. Nick and AL have
condescended to uplift the
American stage by an intrigu-
ing bit of comedy entitled "The
Kids Last Fight" which has
neither words nor music but
which is very full indeed Of
gestures.
In fact many of these ,ges-
lures terminate upon the can
vas with the dull sickening sort
of a thud which makes one
think that tumblers earn all of
the money they get, and in
case of "AItrock and Sapp," we
are led to believe it is quite
q tidy sum-quite a consider
able kick in the box office re-.
ceipts.
Anyway, acconpliced by their
road manager, "My Poy" Joe
Engel, Nick and AL are bearing
down hard at the Earle this
week in an. histronic effort
which will surely leave its mark,
if not actually its scar, on the
drama as the term, is popu-
larly understood today. For
fully fifteen minutes, aided and
abetted by an audience which
encourages and almost dares the
actors to extend themselves to
even greater heights, the trio
holds forth unchecked. And
this, mind you, three times a

The piece, or vehicle, seems
to be an adaptation from the
life of a famous British heavy
weight. known in his heydey as
Horizontal Joe Beckett. Both
Mr.. Altrock and Mr.. SchachE
seem to have mastered the soul
of that gallant knight of the
ring, and their rendition would
indeed stir the memories of any
monocled ringsider Of Mr.. Bee
kett's era.
All in all, the adoption of
the stage for even so brief a
span as a week by Messrs.
Altrock and Schacht is quite
a boost for those who make
their livelihoods regularly there
Nby, and if their act is on the
level, or, not sloughed as the
rowdies would have it, then the
stage has nothing to fear from
the diamond.
But it's so hard to tell when
folks are burlesquing these days

Expect Cobb to Sign
Today To Play For
Mack's Athletics

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3d.
Ty Cobb, rated as having been
the greatest ball player in his
tory, was expected to sign with
the Philadelphia Athletics fol-
lowing a conference scheduled
with Connie Mack for today.
Having been declared a free
agent by Frank Nayin, Detroit
owner, after he was cleared of
charges of betting on a fixed"
game, the Georgia peach was
believed to prefer Mack's offer
over that rendered by Dan How
ley, manager of the st. Louis
Browns, who has been bidding
for the services of his old friend

cided to put Foreman on at a
time when there will be no counter

Meanwhile, frankie Mann

The popular Eddie Buell. will
be routed at 10 rounds against

The latter is bantam who has

George Leslie will be booked at
the same pace in Junior light

to be every bit as good as the
