I in May L'B and 27 the Knights Templar

no reason for Jumping to Scrantoti as

H. P. Simpson, who with Manager
McDermott attended the leugue aesslon
reuched Scranton on the X.uO p. in. Lack
awanna train last night and was met at
the depot by a Tribune reporter. Man
ager McDermott after the meeting
went to his home In Fall P.iver where
he will retnnin a few dnys. Mr. Simp
son stated that a deal was on with
Manager Kuntzsch. of Syracuse, for
Tom Power, who will necessarily be
displaced by Oarey, of ltaltlinore.
Kuutzsih originally wanted $:!00 for
Power's relense. Scranton bid $100 and
Kuntzsch dropped to V-'iO. Scranton
will still give Its bid, but no more. It
Is expected that Kuntzsch will accept
the offer.
In case Power Is secured, Scranton
will be lucky. Kuntzsch lets the
hustling first baseman go, not because
Power Is incompetent but because the
two never could agree. This Is not the
reason given to the public, but it is the
true reason and every person conver
sant with Kastern league doings
knows it. I let ween t'arey of llaltliiuu e.
for whom $jU0 wus paid, and Power,
who may be nrociired for $IU0, the lat
ter is the best choice. He is a hustling
lighting player from the drop of the
bat and as a captain has no superior
ill the league.
YKSTKKDAY S PUOCKRDIXf'S.
At yesterday's session of the leugue
the const I tut Ion was unanimously
adopted us revised. The only Import
ant chunto was In n-gard to the eii
ulty for a club leaving the Held of play
during a guiiie. The tine In such case
was raised from -'mj to ;:ihi.
A. t Hin-keiiberger, of Toronto, was
elected a member of the board of di
rectors, in pl:ue of John ('. Chapman,
of the Toronto club. .Mr. I'.in keiibcrger
bought the franchise of the club from
Joliu I'. Chapman.
The delegates were evenlv divided. 4
to 4. on the question of sending u dele
gates to the minor league president's
meeting. President 1". T. Powers cast
his deciding vote in the negative so that
the motion was lost by a vote of S to 4.
The president, however, will probably
go to Washington for the purpose of
requesting nil explanation from Presi
dent Nick Young, of the National
league, on article Y, of the new agree
ment. The article deala with the draft
ing of players by minor leagues. The
alary of I he president was Increaaed'

Hest Production of Melodrama r'ver Seen
in I his City.
The days of mcloilrumu are not over.
An invasion of "heroic terriblcs" of re
cent years has made melodrama a by
word and reproach, and the very men
tion of It jars on the nerves of the theater-goer
who has seen the desperate
stage deeds of the desperate stage vil
lains of the usual melodrama.
yulte a different type is "The Orent
Diamond Kobbery." which u large au
dience saw and justly appreciated ut
the Academy of Music last evening. No
liner production of melodiiiniw has ever
been seen in this cilv and while lust
night's audience was large, it Is safe to
predict that only the capacity of the
house will hound it tonight.
The story of the melodrama is laid in
the New York of today and was worked
out and written by Kdward M. Alt' ricml
ami A. Wheeler, who have lllled the
cast of the pluy with real people who
speak lines much us people In every
day life do at least they have kept
closer to real life than the usual melo
drama manufacturer. The story Is one
of absorbing interest, is told with the
true instinct as to dramatic effects and
holds the audience enthralled during
the six acts of the pluy.
The melodrama Is good, the scenery
ami accessories ditto, but It is the com
pany that carries "The Clreat Diamond
Kobbery" to triumph. It Is composed
of men and women who know how to
make the most of a situation and how
to recite their lines with force, grace
und naturalness. This company in
cludes such thorugh, painstaking art
ists as Frederic llotid, W. A. Whileear,
fleorge D. Chaplin. Joseph K. Whiting,
tieorge t". I'.onilaee. Kdward Holland.
Lillian Lawrence. Maud Hanks, Mrs.
Annie Yeamans and Mme. Januuschek.
The announcement thut the latter had
left the company was u mistake. She
was In the cast last night and did u
splendid work In the role of Fruu Ko
setibuum. Airs. Yeamans' character
was good, as It always is. and Lillian
Laurence displayed her great powers
as an actress in the role of the adven
turess. "The Oreut Diamond Kobbery" Is a
wonderful story of crime and political
debauchery ua given by the company
seen at the Academy last night It will
he repeated tonight.
