Show With the honest and upright game of prize 8 fighting tabooed by the mayor and our superb baseball team, the "greatest in the world," as J. H Critchlow says, away off in the primeval forests of the Northwest, the outlook appears seared and smoky to local fans and sports for the next few M weeks. The only joy that con te clasped to the sportsman's bosom will be in arising with the dawn to hover over dispatches anont the wondrous won-drous victories the. locals say they are going to wrest frbm the Northwesterners. Lou Houseman, manager of Jack Root, and "Parson" Davies, says an exchange, are preparing prepar-ing to launch a theatrical performance with an all-star cast of up-to-date pug'IMs. They are already al-ready negotiating with a view to bringing them to-getlier to-getlier in a histrionic way. They have not yet decided on what play will bo used. One entitled "The Mysterious Wallop" might come in handy. The personnel of the cast will be about as follows: fol-lows: Tim Hurst, "Parson" Davies, Billy Mul-doon, Mul-doon, Bat Masterson, Tom O'Rourke, George Siler, John L. Sullivan, Jake Kilraln, L. M. Houseman, Evan Lewis, James J. Corbett, Jack Root, Billy Delaney, Malarchy Hogan, and Tom Jenkins for tho main parts. "Kid" Broad will be asked to take the rough soubrette's part, for it won't make any difference whether he can talk the part or not so long as ho will look it. The other women parts are to be filled by Joe Choynski, who played Miss Ophelia with Peter Jackson's "Uncle Tom" company; "Young Cor- bett," Frank Erne, and Harry Harris, who will H bo in tho ingenue parts. H "Ten Nights in a Barroom" has been suggest- H ed as a very fitting production for this aggrega- j H tion of flstic-histronic talent. "The Road to H Ruin" has also been suggested, but these are ve- H toed, as Houseman and the "Parson" say they H want a brand-now play, and they are considering H tho advisability of asking "Big Bill" Naughton to H write an appropriate scenario.
