battle into the league councils next

May Ban Newspapers.
Should the issue be raised, 1t is al
most certain the league will vote against
the continuance of the practice. Presi-
dent Ernest S. Barnard has raised his
voice in opposition to the broadcaSting
of home games, and so has John Shibe
of the Athletics. Alvah Bradley Of the
Indians, it is said here, probably would
vote against the radio broadcast OF
home games, although there now Is q
mike" at Dunn Field.
It has been suggested that newSpa-
pers, which have been fostering these
home-game broadcaStS, might continue
to do so at second hand by putting over
the air from their offlces or the radio
studios detailed Geographic reports OF
the games. This, the base ball men
say could easily be checked. One has
declared any newspaper attempting to
get around a league rule prohibiting
the broadcasting of home games during
the championship season in this way
would be denied the privilege Of the
press box and wire facilities at the
park.
That might mean a merry war be-
tween the newspapers and the base ball
interests, but it seems the base ball
interests-at least in the American
League--are determined to do away
with the radio in the ball parks.

Stumbled Into Drollery.

MANY and varied are the stories re-
lated Of Will Rogers, and espe-
cially as to how he came to do his talk
ing act in vaudeville, which later be-
came of widespread interest and enter
tainment.
The real truth of The matter is that
Will Rogers practically stumbled into it.
When he left his native Oklahoma,
where he enjoyed tremendous reputa-
ton as a rider and roper, he essayed
vaudeville, and his Offering consisted OF
roping, sans talk. His company included
Buck Mckee and cow pony.
The big punch in the act came near
the finale, when Buck rode his steed full
tilt at Rogers and Will roped the horses
legs individually and collectively. wind
ing up by dexterously tying Buck to
the ponys off front leg.
Will had clever way of getting out
of jam when he missed the trick, in
tentionally or by design, covering up by
saying. That's the wrong way: now I'll
show you the right way" This was
always good for a laugh.
Gradually Will added few asides
and eventually began to interject COM
ment anent, local and national topics
which he cleaned from the press be-
tween shows.
His witty drolleries soon made him
one of the outstanding figures in vaude-
vile and later he was induced to join
Ziegfeld's FollieS, with which he was
featured season after season.

The Nation is perfectly right. But
any one who goes regularly to the movie

therein knows that the Nations excel

For even if there were censorship

reason that they couldn't find any adults

THE occasional fatalities that have
marked the filming of spectacular
stunts for motion pictures in the past
have frequently given rise to agitation
for the discontinuance of such episodes
as foolhardy.
The hue and cry however, is unwar-
ranted, in the opinion of John G. Bly,
stone. Fox director. Blystone believes
the element of danger can virtually be
eliminated by the exercise of care in
preparation and rehearsal.
Blystone, although he has built up
something of reputation as a con-
triver of spectacularly dangerous stunts,
has not a single accident to mar his
record.
"If a stunt is properly planned and
rehearsed and every one knows pre-
cisely what he is going to do, there is
very little danger" Blystone says. 1T
is all a matter of careful preparation

Washington. at the National Theater,

was repeated last Fall in several cities

1t is interesting to learn that JON

made in London in 1785. Previous to
that date "Volpone" had been one of
the greatest favorites of all the plays
ever written in England.
"Volpone" was first played by the
company called the Kings Men at the
Globe Theater, London, in the Winter
of 1905, the fourth piece of Jonson's to
be presented by the company, of which
Shakespeare was member. For 100
years thereafter it was played many
times each season, and the present pop

the play on the ground that its caustic
