Thomas Stone Is a much prosecuted man; so also la James Casey, the man with the "box-car" fender.. These two worthies met last Friday and the air Immediately became black and blue. Ho did Casey's optics. Stone pelted Casey and in vain Casey fended the blows. Then Casey came at the bat. He hit Stone; a base hit It was, and in a like manner Stone again fell upon Casey and broke his Casey's) crutch. Casey caused a warrant to be issued and the hearing was held in Alder man Utah's ottlee lust evening, after Constable Timothy Junes hud picked up Stone, who lives on Luzerne street. The cliui'Ke wu ORtmult nnd battery and Casey's charge was $1.15 for the dismembered crutch. The' alderman held Stone In WOO bail to appear before a higher court. But Stone did not yet have his tllng. There was another charge against him. It seems that af ter Ilia success with the "Wizard of Hyde Park" Stone hud entered the shoe repairing shop of one Michael Kull. on Luzerne street and attacked the mend er of soles. Kull was badly waxed and sought the law and again Stone wan charged with assault uud battery. The hearing- followed the Cusey-Stone aud itory. Hlune was again held In S'-ivO bail. In return he caused the counter driest of Kull uluo on a charge of as sault and battery. Kull was held In 50o ball. Stone furnished his bail, but Kull ww compelled to go to Juil In default.

Sydney Rosenfeld, the playwright. Is a curious fellow. Perhaps no one Identified wtth dramatic writing Is bet ter known in New York city. He Is so versatile that one never knows In what shape his next literary appear ance will be; Just now he is the dra matic sponsor for a legalized company, which was organized to produce Amer ican plays. When congratulated yes terday upon his new move he answered somewhat as follows: "I have been hammering at stage wares for years and have had about as tough a siege of managerial hardship as anyone who makes his living by sup plying means for the public's entertain ment. Now I am at a place where what I do may be given just as 1 wish It without let or hindrance from any body. If I want a certain actor to play a given part, and he Is at liberty,. I may get him, and if I don't want the same I am not obliged to accept him. Authors will appreciate keenlyi what this means. Many a writer for the stage Is made blue and mad. and his works sometimes spoiled in their expression, by the necessity of using players ivhn have no recommendation but the favor itism of a manager. The cast of 'The Two Kscutcheons' is composed of in dividuals elected by me because of their peculiar fitness to the rides assigned. That is enough to satisfy any reason able mortal, and brings me to the hul lelujuh place of good feeling." The excellent organization presenting "The Two Escutcheons" .Is announced as the attraction at the Frotlilngham Wednesduy and Thursday evenings, March 18 and is. ALABAMA SATURDAY NIGHT. Augustus Thomas' Prams to lie Pro duced at the Academy. It Is four years since "Alabama" was produced at the Madison Square the ater. New York, and since that time It has been one continuous success.

"TltV Burglar," and the new play "The Capitol," about to be produced by James M. Hill at the Standard theater, New York. The success of "Alabama" Is not en tirely due to the exquisite beauty of the play; It Is uIho due to Uk fuct thut the high standard of the company has ulw.'iys been maintained.

Several interesting wagers were made at the recent Kasturn league meeting by manugers who- were particularly loud in proclaiming how their , respect ive teams were going to walk away from then competitors. At every league meeting there are bushels of talk and bluster, but It doesn't always happen that the talkers back their opinions with the long green. It was different this year. Von Der Ahe Kuntzsch was willing to bet 10-dollar gold piec-ea to cigarettes on the Stars, but to please him Draper, of Providence, and Buckley, one of the Rochester "big three," accommodated the Syracusean with some equitable wagers which were put in writing, signed -and sealed and placed in the hands of President Towers. Following are the particulars of some of the bets: Kuntzsch bets $25 to ISO with Draper (Providence) that Syracuse will ilntsh as good as second. Kuntzsch ami tra,per' bet J23 even on the finish position of their respective teams. Buckley (Rochester) bets even with Kuntzsch and Lruper that Rochester's position will be better than Syracuse and Providence ut the finish. Buckley and Kuntzsch bet 1100 even on the season. Herr Kuntzsch was the king bee of the betting ring. Ills anxiety to wager anything from the headlight In his shirt to his socks was based on the fact that he had secured Reilly, or the Phillies, to play third, and Carey, of Baltimore, to cover first. On this twain Kuntzsch Is willing to sluke his fortune. The fact that Kellly was a beautiful Philadel phia bench-warmer, and that Carey couldn't come within u. mile of hitting the ball for Baltimore, does not phuse the Syracuse man. So there's bound to be a lovely fuss when Kuntzsch linds that his nice new eggs are of unredeem able, vintage. While muny of the delegates were putting on a big front und inuking noise at the meeting, a young, quiet und un assuming chap from Hciunton und for merly of Fall River, was sawing wood. He sawed in quiet but with great indus try, and said nothing. ... Before the meeting ilnully adjourned McDermott was the objent of no little scrutiny and comment. He excited the others' curiosity. A manuger who said so little, but who spoke so sensibly and concisely In his base ball talk soon won the very favorable opinions of those who conversed with him. He went into the meeting a comparative stranger, be ing known only for his record with Fall River, but when the sessions were fin ished the other managers concluded he knew his business and would give an account of himself and Scranton in the scramble that begins May 1. In Syracuse they. have the pennant won already. It is much the same In Rochester. iSprlngfleld and Providence are very sanguine. liuffalo cranks are uncertain and the same doubt prevails In Toronto. Scranton is generously as signed a place at the foot of the list by several of the league towns, and but little else Is expected of Wllkes-Barre. The fact is quite generally lost sight of that Scranton will begin the season with as large a batch of festive players to pick from as has any dub in the league. The players retained by Wllkes-Barre from last year will compare favorably with those on-any other team. So, ev erything considered, it Is not unlikely that some of the up-country oracles will have good reason to hedge before the season ends. We're content to withhold our opinion until June 15.
