New York, Oct. 31 As the name
would imply, "A Pair of Silk Stock
ings." is replete with spice. The
beauty of it all is that Cyril Harcourt,
the author, has given the public
rare and witty performance without
descending- for laughs on the bide
cent showing in this particular "Pair
of Silk Stockings." It's true, there's
a bedroom scene, but even this the
author has handled with consummute
skill in developing every possible
chance of delightful humor without
bringing laughs that the laughees af
terwards are ashamed they voiced.
The plot is of little importance.
The scene is laid in the country homo
of a typically assinine baronet. Un
der this roof are brought together a
divorced wife and the husband, and
the former's crstwhilo sweetheart.
Also along comes the sweet little
thing to whom erstwhile sweetheart
is engaged.
Now the one-tim hbond and wifo
both regret the divorce. The hus
band is a member of the baronet's
house party. The wife U pH'd to
k lodging of the baronet when her
motor breaks down after nightfall.
She is assigned the room just quitted
i)y her erstwhile sweetheart, who
doesn't want to arouse his host, so
climbs Into the bedroom through the
window. Ill ih rMMtntime, the hus-

London, Oct. 12. (By mail to New
York). In a letter written to rela
tives here, Corporal N. Hastings, of
the Guards accuses the Germans of
treachery. He writes:
" If the papers were permitted to
send their correspondents to the
front, they would have something to
say which would open the eyes of the
world about the Germans. It is an
insult to Zulus to compare these
squareheads to them for treuihei y.
Some of them fight fair and square
but there are thousands of ther.i who
are devoid of all human feeling.
"Near the banks of the River Aisne
they had been attacked anil driven
down by rifles and machine jruns.
smBll number of the Northair.tons
were in a trench when 400 or 500 of
the Germans held their hands up.
The 'Cobblers' were ordered not to
fire and an officer asked in French and
English if they surrendered.
"They came on in skulkinir mnn-
nef and some of them threw down
their rifles. Jn every way they show

The Princess Theater has opened
Twith a unique change of policy. Five
plays, all short ones, were represent
ed on the opening night. Such short
pieces were tried out last year with
quite a degree of success, and there
is no reuson why they shouldn't go
well again this season. The evening's
performance affords an amusing
change from the regulation program.
It was with real regret that news
""was received recently of the death of
Vanni Marcoux, the French opera
singer, a victim cf the great Euro
pean war. Vanni Marcoux was a
member of the Boston Opera Com
pany, and his work was extremely
popular there. He has been seen from
coast to const, and was one of the
most delightful of the opera stars,
both professionally and personally.
He had what so many opera stars,
even of first magnitude, have not
rare ability as an actor. His death,
if the reports be true, is a great blow
to the Boston company.

underworld that "kicked in" a few
nights ago at the Longaore Theater.
Willard Mack is the one to whom we
have to hand the applause, and he is
deserving of it, for in "Kick In," he
has handed us the best play of the

since "Within the Law" made its de

Privte William Court, who has come

"The Middlesex company was din

two principal characters. A former

They convince the police they know

(Written for the United Press)
New Y'ork, Oct. 29. Ole Walter
Johnson, the big twirler who has
been about three-fourths of Washing
ton's pitching staff ever since he
joined that club, has gone back, the
critics told us last summer when sev
eral defeats were being chalked up
against the Kansan's name. Well, if
he has gone back we believe we'll hit
the same trail after a slant at the
league records for the season.
One is inclined to say "whataya
mean, gone back?" after taking a
look at the figures showing what the
twirlers did in Ban Johnson's loop.
Johnson worked in just fifty-one
games during the summer. It takes
some time for the meaning of that
to soak in. Fifty-one games! And
the average pitcher thinks he has
done a great season's work if he has
breezed through as many as thirty
contests. Naturally, Johnson led all
the twirlers in his league in that res
pect, the nearest to him being George
Dauss of Detroit and Lefty Baum
gardncr of St. Louis, who each par
ticipated in forty-five battles.
Next we'll take a slant at the
strike-out column, picking it because
Johnson's figures stand out in it like
a white dove in a flock of crows. Dur
ing those aforesaid fifty-one contests
Joiu?son sent Jyst two hundred and
twenty,? tiJI players or1 persons
drawing money as fwc.h back td the
bench mumbling that the vjmpire wa?
blind or a robber or giving some 6tf
et such excuse to hi manager for his
failure to cloui one.
In strike-outs, too, Johnson natur
ally led all hj5 rivals. "JCutch" Leonard-
the big port-sider, who heav.es for
Bill Carrigan's Red Sox, was the
closest to him and he couldn't see
Johnson with a spyglass. Leonard
whiffed one hundred and seventy men
during the summer.
In pitching few-hit affairs, Joftn
son also looms strong among his riv
als. Three times he gave up but three
hits, four times he allowed four and
three times five were gleaned off his
delivery.
Another thing that the early rec
ords don't show and that is the num
ber of games which were chalked up
against Johnson as defeats in which
his opponents nosed him out by one
run.
Towards the close of last season,
when his critics got to panning him
rather severely, Johnson finally
burst forth one day:
"I don't see where they get that
stuff, I'm going back," he said. "True,
I've lost more games this year than
I usually lose, but if anyone has been
following my work anywhere near
closely he will know that I'm not al
together at fault I've lost a lot of
games by one run this summer. I'm
not complaining against my team
mates. They're doing the best they
can. I'm not done by a lot and I'll
show it before they count me out."'
Charles Deal of Winkinsburg, Ta.,
better known as "Chuck" Deal, util
ity infielder of the Boston Braves, is
being hailed as considerable of a
prophet since he took part in the re
cent world's series.
One day during the world's series
in 1913, when the Giants and Ath
letics were blazing away at each oth
er a crowd stood in front of a bulle
tin board in Pittsburgh and watched
the game. Frank D. Glover, a busi
ness man of that place was in the
crowd and he struck up a talking ac
quaintance with a young man stand
ing near him.
"It must be nice for those ball play
ers to take part in a world's series,"
Glover said to the young man.
"Yea, I guess it is," was the reply.
Just about that time there was flash
ed on the bulletin board the announce
ment that Fred Merkle of the Giants
bail ulammed out a home run. A
great cheer went up from the crowd.
The young man turned to Glover and
said :
"It must be a wonderful feeling
that a person experiences when he
makes a great play in a world's se
ries." "Well, it's something that will be
fall neither of us," Glover replied.
"Oh, I don't know about that," said
ihe young man. "I have a good
chance to get into one. I have been
secured by the Boston Braves for
next season."
"Is that, so?" said Glover. "May
I inquire your name?"
"I'm Chuck Deal of Winkinsburg,"
was the reply. And Deal made good
when he got his chance. He would
not have got into the series if "Red"
Smith hadn't broken his leg, but Fate
seemed to be with him. His double,
it will be remembered, paved the way
for him to score the lone run in the
second game.
