The feature of Tuesday night's play was a run of 4 3 balls by Cox, being the highest run scored in the two evening's play. At the time the boy was far in the rear, and the big run made the game more even. He completed two strings of 15 balls each and scratched when he pocketed the 45th ball on the third line-up.

In a short chat which a newspaper be presented at the Illinois Saturd ly evening. It has set new standards for the stage, not alone in this countrv, but in England. Its directness and naturalness, its human interest, It3 portrayal of real life and real men and women, make "Paid in Full" an ex ceptionally attractive play for persons of every taste and fancy. . As to Its popularity there is no question. That point is settled by the fact that more than 2,500,000 persons have seen It. As to the title, "great American drama," that l'as been bestowed upon it so freely, it is warranted by the play's career. Popular as it is in Near Princess Yetive in "Graustark," to he offered at the Grand, Davenport, to morrow evening, she laughingly said, "How do I like to be stared at? I don't mind a bit. I used to, but I'm hardened to it now. Oh, yes, I know people look upon us as something a little different from themselves, but we're not truly we're not. We're just girls, with the same ideas and ideals as all those dear young things who swarm to the matinees to watch us act and envy us. Why, when there's no matinee, just let one of our boys invite us to a ball game. That nig'it there is usually a very hoarse princess, for I simply can't resist the excite ment. Just now our boys are trying to make me feel the importance of Mr. Jeffries fighting Mr. Johnson. But pugilism is vastly different from base ball or football, and I refuse to be in terested in it, so from the boys' stand point I'm all wrong. "Oh, yes; I love pretty clothes, but on the road one has to be sensible just a plain blue suit, neat and well tailored, but nothing to attract atten tion.

It was called "The Walls of Yv'all Street", and had an amateur production at South Bend, Ind.

SAVED BY HIS FOOTWORK I'hiladelphian Outweighed 30 Pounds And Is in Cad Way at the Finish. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 20. Jack O'Brien's ring generalship last night saved him from a terrible beating and a possible knockout at the hands of Al Kaufmann cf .San Francisco in a six round bout before the National Athletic club. At the close cf the fight both men were bleeding from nose and mouth and O'Brien had a badly swollen eye. Kaufmann, however, was in far bet ter condition than the Philadelphian. There was a tedious delay in getting started because Kaufmann insisted on the gloves being weighed. After this hitch the men soon were in action. O'Brien once had defeated Kauf mann in San Francisco, and the Cal ifornian was a trifle too anxious or he might have duplicated O'Brien's feat. O'Brien Shown Clerernma. When the bell rang for the opening round the men rushed to a clinch, i and in the breakaway O'Brien sent ! two straight lefts to the nose. Kauf- j mann rushed his . opponent around the ring, but O'Brien would stop sud denly and jolt a hard right or left to the face. Little damage was done in the first round but in the second Kaufmann drove his right under O'Brien's heart and crossed a left to the jaw, causing Jack to clinch. The minute rest re freshed O'Brien wonderfully and he had all the advantage of the third round. Hisi exertions seemed to weaken him, however, and had it not been for his clinching in the fourth round O'Brien probably would have been knocked out. About the middle of this round Kaufmann drove a wicked right to the wind and hooked a vicious left to the chin. O'Brien dropped to his knees and when he arose he rushed to a clinch. His clever footwork saved him. Kaufmann I.anda Hard Vppcrcut. In the fifth and sixth rounds O'Brien would not allow the Califor nian to get set. The Philadelphian would jab the nose with a left and then rush to a clinch before Kauf mann could land with effect. In the middle of the sixth Kaufmann caught O'Brien coming in and almost lifted, him off his feet with a right upper cut. O'Brien clinched and saved him self. It is doubtful whether O'Brien could have lasted another round, even with all his brilliant footwork. Kaufmann gave his weight at 195, while O'Brien said he weighed 165 pounds.

The lat ter, while they helped me, seemed to weaken me very much indeed- Thoroughly discour aged with everything, thinking there was no cure, I did finally say I would try once more, so I called on Dr. Bartz and com menced his treatment. To my complete surprise his treatment not only removed my pain, but also cured me of the trouble I had with my kidneys and blad der, which compelled me to get up nights from five to six times. Now I can sleep all night, and to say I am a happy and pleased man because I met Dr. Bartz is putting it mildly." Deafness of Ten Years Standing Cured. MR. O. P.

McNa mara from Danville to manage hist team in the Northern association. Mac made a failure with Bloomington last year, but that does not daunt Childs. By the way, the Northern promoters are having a hard time fill ing up the circuit. Stanley Robinson has refused to waive the rights of his St. Louis National team over East St. Iouis and other cities that had been counted upon strongly are beginning to show sypmtoms of cold feet. Warren Gill, the former Cedar Rapids pitcher in the days when Bel den Hill was winning pennants for the Bunnies, is a White Sox. He will be given a trial by Comiskey, but not as a pitcher, as he has developed the skill for about six other positions. Gill is the original Merkle of big league baseball. While with Pittsburg he was caught by the ever watchful John Evers of the Cubs. Gill was the victim, but it just happened that the trick did not arouse so much hullaba loo as the unhappy stunt pulled off by Merkle, although the win helped the Chance tribe. It turns out that Pa Shaffer of Dav enport was "stung good'' when he traded Third Baseman Reitz to New j Haven for Pitcher ReLsigl not lon-J since. Rietz is not so much, but the man secured in- exchange for him is a whole lot worse. New Haven had two pitchers of the same name and they were brothers. Jack was a dandy and generally won his games. Charlie, on the other hand, was a lemon and was released but later taken on again as trading stock. When Pa Shaffer opened negotiations and was told that he could get "pitcher" Relsigl for Rietz he looked up the records and finding that of Jack and supposed he was the only one n the team. So the deal was closed. Since then, however, Shaffer has awoke and now he is trying to find someone to unload Relsigl upon. Shaffer has made another trade with a Connecticut team that he hopes will turn out better. He has given North ampton Pitcher Bill Fleet for Edwin Delave, also a pitcher. AMUSEMENTS AMUSEMENTS.
