rider. Cooper, who
is one of the young
est riders in Class
B, made his debut
on the circuit this
season in a very un
ostentatious man
ner, and after several months' riding
and winning the reputation of a "fair
racer," he electrified the racing enthusi
asts by forging to the front and defeat
ing Eddie Bald, the peer of the path,
and all tbe noted men in Class B.
Cooper's victory was not a temporary
one. for bis first success hus been fol
lowed by repeated victories. Short dis
tances seem to be his specialty. His
rapid jump into prominence has sur
prised the racing fraternity. He has
won twenty-three first prizes on the
national circuit this season.
In the arrangement of the national
circuit cities have to be left out of the
national circuit meet for which they
apply, owing to lack of time within

ISS Martha Ford,
the new leading
lady, owns a name
w" h t c h is we 11
known throughout
tbe theatrical
world. Her father,
John T. Ford, who
died eighteen
months ago, was at
heart an actor,
though he never
reached the stage In closer personal re
lationship than that of manager and
playwright. His love of the stage and
stage people seems to have been born
in him, and therefore it is but natural
that his bronze-haired daughter should
choose her life's profession amid the
people with whom her father wag so
closely associated. Dearly as Miss
Ford loves her art. it is of her father
that she likes to talk most. The blue
gray eyes, with their long lashes and
pathetic expression, grow luminous
when she relates Incidents of her fa
ther's childhood. "Father, you known,
was a self-made man." she says with
pride. "When he was a very little boy
he kept a news stand opposite the
Richmond, then the most popular the
ater in the South. Among the litera
ture for sale were play books and when
the actors came across the way to buy
one of these he would present them
with a copy and in this way became
very friendly with many who after
ward became or were at that time
leading lights in the profession. I
could talk for hours about the way his
first play was accepted by 'Kunkel's
Nightingales,' how he staged and man
aged it. and how he afterward became
Identified with theatrical interests in
Baltimore, both at Holliday's and the
opera house that bears his name."
"But how about your own career?"
was ventured mildly, for it seemed a
pity to interrupt this sweet-faced
daughter in her eulogy of a much
loved father.
"There is nothing remarkable about
It." was the modest reply. "1 have been
on the stage for years, making my de
but with Miss Marlowe in Baltimore In
'As You Like It.' It was just after
Miss Marlowe's illness, and she received
a great ovation which I shared simply
because it was my first appearance,
and in my father's theater. The peo
ple in the company were very lovely
to me and I received so many flowers
and charming gifts that I was bewil
dered." Here Miss Ford showed a su
perb little watch engraved with the
date of her first appearance which was
among the "charming gifts" received
on that occasion.
Miss Ford to talk with is unusually
interesting, though there is a little
trace of shyness which seems Incongru
ous with her chosen profession. "I am
horribly timid." she admitted when
this peculiarity was mentioned, "and
my going on the stage amazes me as
much as It did my family. There are
ten of us living and of that number 1

MISS MARTHA FORD,
celestial fire I know not. but at any
rate I recited that poem In a very dif
ferent fashion from the way I recited
my lessons, and my elocution teacher
was quite Indignant because I had
given no evidence of any talent in this
direction before. Later I recited once
In my father's theater, and after that
you couldn't have kept me off the stage
no matter how hard you had tried."
"You have played leads before, have
you not?"
"Yes, with Creston Clarke and with
Wilfred Clarke. I^ast year I was with
Mr. Daly, but I feel that a stock com
pany as I am In now Is the best school
In the world."
"Are you better pleased with the
emotional roles or those more humor
ous In character?"
"I don't think I have ever played in
the lattet. for. even though I have had
some spiteful little parts, there ure a
tew lines somewhere that I could make
sympathetic, so that they wouldn't
think that 1 was altogether ugly."
Miss Ford as she said this Im
pressed her hearer with the Idea that
she could make even "ugly things"
sound sweet and lovely, and surely If
Al
indomitable will and a hereditary love
of the stage count for anything, this
gracious and lovely young woman will
prove herself a favorite with the pa

BASE BALL NOTE.
The best strike-out record of the sea
son has been made by Thornton, the
pitcher farmed out by Chicago to Rock
ford. In a game against Dubuque.
Sept. 2. he struck out fourteen men in
seven innings.
. Manager Hanlon has lit upon a prom
ising minor league pitcher whom no
other club seems to have unearthed.
His name Indicates that he hails from
Erin.—Baltimore Sun. Must be Mc
Ginty or C'Grady.
President Kerr, of Pittsburg, is much
distressed because the profits of this
year will have to go for the purchase
of stronger players instead of a new
grand stand.
Manager Hanlon favors the adoption
of the double umpire system.
A New York exchange says that St.
Ixntis has but four men who are fast
enough for league company, and names
Ely. Cooley. Pletz and Breitenstein.
Captain Tebeau is rather mortified
because the Impression has gone out
some way or other that he believes that
there is crookedness, and that Cleve
land is being dishonestly worked
against.
O. P. Caylor has started in even this
early to discount Fred Pfeifer's advent
on the New York team and to make the
road rocky for him. Caylor seems lo
be never so happy as when roasting
some unfortunate fellow being.—Ex

Young George Reiman, the Maysvllle
pitcher, who defeated the Senators in
one game and won two from the Cin
cinnatis. may be given a trial by the
Indianapolis management. Then, if
he Is all right, he will be shifted to Cin
cinnati.—Exchange.
St. Louis won but one game from
