man but rather tae medium by
which the sweet days of the stage
have been captured and brought
back to the footlights.
When any play makes one hap
pier and gives one little journey
out of the every day world into the
LAND of dreams and sweet thought,
I for one am not going to find fault
with the play.
In the hands of Skinner and those
associated with him, Papa Juan"
becomes a symphonic fantasy, rich
in color, mood and thought.
And when Papa Juan sits in the
big red chair in the last act follow
ing his hundredth birthday dinner
and he dreams not of the past, but
of the years to come, even with
death Just around the corner, it is
then that we realize the beauty and
magnitude Of great acting on the
part of Otis Skinner.
I shall remember Otis Skinner IN
Honor of the Family" and in other
roles, bu There will linger in my
memory the gentle sweetness that
he gives to the character Of Papa
Juan.
Papa Juan never raves or rants, he
is the grand old man, rich in mind,
vY,eaIth,y in love and endowed with
beautiful memories of his friends
of this world.
And Otis Skinner enriches the
character of the authors by his
splendid skill in acting.
I have no fault with the COM
pany; it has been carefully selected
especially well balanced.
The cast is so satisfactory that

Boston, March .12 (P-Yale's fine hockey team will try to avenge it's only defeat in IS starts by winning the third and deciding game of it's annual series with Harvard at the Boston Garden tonight
 Although Harvard succeeded in breaking the Ellis string of victories in the first game of the series at New Haven a week ago Saturday, Yale has been made the, decided favoritc. The blue clad skaters show ed an impressive superiority over the Crimson in winning to 1 last Sat urday.
 Harvard must play tonight with out Frank Stubbs. hard fighting right wing and brother of Coach Joe Stubbs. who became ineligible this week because of scholastic difficulties at mid-years. His place on the start ing line will be taken by Del Everett a left-handed shooter, who scored the opening Harvard goal in the first game of the series at New Haven while playing on the third forward l line.
 However much hockey opinior may favor Yale's chances, all ar engagements have been made for z tight battle. In case of a tic at tho end of the regulation time there vii be three 10-minute overtime periods if necessary, followed by "suddel

MONTGOMERY IS LATEST
 KAYO VICTIM OF PRIMO
Giant Italian Finishes Former Foot ball Player in Two Rounds
 With Right Cross.

Minneapolis March 12 (UP)- Ho, hum. It's happened again.
 The astutely handled Primo Car nera has scored another knockout his ninth consecutive one in Amer ica-in two rounds. Tho victim ? Sully Montgomery. Remember him? The fellow who was a good football player but never amounted to much in the ring and who has been re- garded as through for a year or two now.
 | Primo, accompanied by his retinue of handlers, settled his gondola like l feet in the middle of the ring last night, and threw d right cross which allowed Mr. Montgomery the oppor- unity of going peacefully to sleep, Some 10000 persons paid S22,00O to see him do it.
 The giant Italian, weighing o75 pounds, some 50 pounds more than his opponent.
 For his four minutes and 15 sec onds of fighting, Camera collected S7,000. As usual he put on good show. Snorting like q steam engine he tore at Montgomery in the first round and ran into a body punch Then he indicated something about a foul but the fight continued.
 Montgomery used a weaving dancing style and kept away from Primo's ham-like hands for the re. mainder Of the round. At the star of the second the Italian by sheer force of weight pinned Sully agains the ropes-then the left hook. Tho rest has been told.

MACK WELL SATISFIED
Manager of Athletics Is Pleased Over Even Break With St. Louis in Pro Season Series.

Fort Myers, Fla, March 1o Pl- Connie Mack is pretty well satisfied with the showing of the champion Athletics in the four game series with the St. Louis Nationals which resulted in an even break. The As took the final game yesterday, If to , in six innings.
 He secs no reason why the Athlet- ics should not repeat, but his pre- diction today was that it's going to be a tough race.
 We stand pat" he said. "Who ever heard of changing around d championship team? think we are going to have the closest campaign in years because the other clubs have been built up. Cleveland has made wonderful progress, St. Louis will be better and Detroit has made bene- ficial changes. Chicago isn't exactly q soft spot and Washington certainly rates higher than fifth place. The Yankees were not up to their stand ard last year, but their hitters are always dangerous and I think they will pull a comeback. Even Boston will cause lots of trouble.

ALEXANDER A HELP
Manager Burt Shotton Thinks veter- all Is Smartcst Pitcher That Ever Stepped to Rubber.

Winterhaven. Fla. March 12 R,- Grover Cleveland Alexander, back with his old club, the Phillies, Tn the role of pitching department coach and relief hurler, will be 8 big help to the club this year, in the opinion of Manager Shotton.
 'I went into the deal for Alec with my eyes open,' he said. q knew just what I wanted and I got it. Confined 10 relief work, which is my present plan, Alec will win at least seven games for me. That is all 1 need. Put seven games to our standing last year and see where we would have been.
 I'm not going to try to reform him. 1 don't care what he does as long as he gives me his best on the ball field. He's the master mind of our pitching department, because I l think he is the smartest pitcher that ever stepped to the rubber.'

The South Congregational Church Reserves finished their Junior Church league season last night with an unblemished record, but they were given a terrific scare by the Trinity Methodists, and only the timely shooting of the winners midget forwards, Stanley and Wheeler, in the final minutes nosed out the Methodists and brought the champions their 10th victory by a 25-24 score Those last few mo ments were wild ones. as the game had been rough one and two men on each team had gone out on fouls. The game ended, therefore. with each side having only four men on the floor and the lead shifting ire quently.
 Playing with a make-shift lineup, the Congregationalists were held scoreless during the first period. but in the second quarter Stanley, Merza and Dan Wosilus began to find the basket, and from then on the teams battled on even terms. With only two and half minutes to go the Methodists had 2S-22 advantage and were striving valiantly to hold it despite the loss of keeley and Pinkerton, their stars, on fouls. The South church had lost Captain Hat tings and Gilman in the same way. however so things were pretty even in this respect.
 At this point Freddy Wheeler was fouled and tied the score with a suc- cessful free pop. Mahan, however, was also awarded toss and made l it good, putting his team ahead again. But Lawrence Stanley duck cd through the Methodist defense in the closing seconds and hooked in a field goal for the winning points Zahnleiter missed two fouls at the very end.
 Stanley topped the scorers with II points, including five pretty field goals. Merza also had good night for tho winners, collecting sever points. The Methodist scoring was remarkably we'll distributed. with Mahan having slight edge by vir, tue of his foul shooting. Keeley was held to two baskets, while Hat. tings of the winners went scoreles! from the floor. Twenty-nine per. sonals were called. The summary:

G0SLIN STILL A
 SENATOR HOLDOUT
Refusal Of Goose to Sign Casts Gloom Over Washington Camp

Biloxi, Miss, March 12 tP-About tho only bright thing that was found around the training camp of the Washington Senators was the sun overhead
 The main trouble was due to the hold out of Goose Goslin, who has refused to join his team mates here because Clark Griffith would not open his money pots wide enough to suit him. And if Goslin does not take his place on the team the ques- tion remains unanswered as to who can pound out the slashing hits and home runs around which d team can rally.
 Coupled with the trouble with the | Goose is the cold knowledge that the mainstays of the team have passed the crest of their careers. Great in their day but waning now is the story of Sam Rice. Joe Judge, Os- wald BlueSe and Harold Ruel.
 The new blood of youngsters, is needed 10 start the Senators back on the climb toward the pennant. And there lies the secret. Can these youngsters do it? Goose Goslin has been counted on heavily 10 inspire the new men to hit and play ball. It was felt that after his two miser- able years, he vas due to revive his old form of brilliancc and set the stride for the whole team.
 But with Goslin out an already weak hitting team becomes weaker For this reason Manager Walter Johnson, with determination in his eye, is spending most of his time try ing to develop some hitters from among his thin squad of 2S. (Red) Barnes is being groomed for Goslin's place, and if Red should get handy with the stick the Goose could stay m his own backyard without much loss to the Senators.
 From defensive. fielding stand. point, there is no better team in the league than the Washington outfit
 There arc prospects of devclopin. sufficient pitching material to mccr , demands but when it comes to bat

New Britain and PlainYilIe Meet
 Tomorrow Night

Arrangements for the playing off of the triple tic for first place in the senior County "N' basketball league were completed last night in Hartford at a meeting of the mana gers of the New Britain South church. Plainvillc "Y", and Mapping "Y" quintets, and the first game of the deciding series was tentatively set for tomorrow night between New Britain and Plainville. The place has not yet been arranged.
 It was decided to make plans for three games in order 10 have each of the three contestants meet both of it's rivals. The selection of op- ponentS for the first game was de- cded by lot, and it fell to the Plaiu- vile and New Britain quintets. Wap- ping still has one game with Haz- ardville left to play and will get this out of the way on Friday evening. It is expected to defeat the lowly Hazardvilc team, in which case it will meet the winner of tom orroW nights game on Monday evening. If Hazardville, however, should kick over the dope bucket, Mapping would be eliminated and the winner of tomorrow nights contest would automatically become the champion
 Should tomorrow nights winner defeat Mapping it would be the win ner of the league and no further game would be necessary. If, how. ever, Mapping comes through or Monday night, it must meet tomor. rows loser tn next Wednesday eve, ming. A second victory then would give Mapping the cup.
 In the event that each tean should win one game in the rounc robin, the margins of the team! over their respective opponents vii largest will be declared champion while, if this still results in dead lock. total points will be figured.
 New Haven county has dcfaultct to Hartford county in the first rount of the state tournament, so the win ner of the championship in this sec ton will go directly to Storrs fo tho semi-final and final games ol Saturday. March 22.

 After outplayinS the Cabinet quin- tot in the first half with a brilliant display of passwork and shooting, the third place Russwin team col lapsed completely in the final period and went down to q crushing 25 to Is defeat. Trailing at the first hall whistle by to score, the fight | ing Tobinmen started an organized and furious offensive attack against the Russwin basket that brought the score up to 20 to 9 before the Washington street team scored again.
 During the early stages of the game, the Russwn team appeared ] far superior to the Cabinet five and had no trouble scoring while the Tobin team could not penetrate it's opponents defense. The wearers of the red passed rings around the Cabinet crew and seemingly made no attempt to score at various op- portunities, devoting their play to snappy passwork.
 In the second half, klopp, Ander- son and Lyndon came through with hair raising long shots that placed their team ahead soon after the opening whistle. This was the sig nal for a continual barrage on the Russwin basket that soon made the game a runaway. R. & l.. had out. played Cabinet in the first half but they never knew what it was al about in the final period. It was : complete comeback for the Cabine team which has been playing grea ball of late. Every man on the win ming team played good basketball with the scoring being evenly divid ed.
