Fla., March 17.—Man ager Mack called for the end of daily practice at an early hour last evening and about all that featured the work was an improvement in batting. Ping Bodie, Strunk and Thrasher took it upon themselves to swing liberally against some fast ones offered by yoring twirlers. Bodie claims that he landed the majority of safe swats in a six-inning encounter. Thrasher swung so viciously in the afternoon that he twisted lils neck and com plained of a little soreness at dinner time. There was very little change in the regular infield. Ray Bates con tinues to show a steady hand at field ing and a wicked swipe at the bat. St. Petersburg, Fla., March 17.—The first baseball game at the training camp of the Phillies yesterday over the five-inning route resulted in a vic -lorv for Bill Killefer's Yanigans over Pat Moran's regulars. The final count was 5 to 3 In favor of the Yanigans, vtrgely because they pounced upon the delivery of Norman Lutz, the Wig Ca nadian right-hander, in the first inning for four tallies. Away to a flying start of four runs. Pitcher Craig took things easy and had no trouble holding the varsity team to three tallies in five innings. Had it not been for a lapse of control on his part in the second and third innings, the scoring rounds of the regulars, Craig could have blanked the opposition. In these rounds he walked men at inopportune times. Hot Springs, Ark., March 17.—Man ager Robinson received a telegram yesterday from Buck Wheat announc ign that he would arrive here next Sunday morning. Wheat will have a conference with President Ebbets upon his arrival and it would not be sur prising to s£te the Dodgers' left fielder in his regular position Sunday against the Red Sox. Rain started last night and continued up to noon to-day. The sun. however, came out bright and warm about 1 o'clock, but-the grounds were unfit for any kind of a workout. Marlin, Texas. March 17.—A terrible ■bombardment of "Pie" Way in the second inning of the practice game enabled McGraw's colts to register an easy victory over the regulars here yesterday afternoon. The game went only six innings and the score was 10 to 3. Nine of these runs were lumped in the second inning after the regulars had a chance to retire the side before anybody crossed the plate. Only a few of the New York par\y were left in Marlin last night when the Giants departed at midnight for their week end games in Galveston and Houston. Macon. Ga., March 17. Seasoned and expert pitchers were on the crest in the battle of the Yankees yesterday. A snappy and cleverly played seven- Inning scrap took place, which the second team won, a to 2.

Wenck, chairman of the State Athletic Commission, on the ground that he wtis unfit for the position by reason of "his character and previous dealings with others."

HXRRIBBUIIG TELEGRAPH AMUSEMENTS "ALONE AT LAST" A MUSICAL GEM Franz Lehar's Show Heard Last Night With Excellent Soloists and Charm Those of the audience who attend-1 ed the Schubert's production of "Alone j at Last," a free adaptation from Franz Lehar's ;'Endlich AUein," were in- j deed treated to a musical feast thus far in the present season incompara ble in operetta. Likewise, those who expected something akin to the same author's former popular success, "The Merry Widow," found that there was a vast difference in the relative make ups of the two plays. "Alone at Last" is a musical gem. "The Merry Widow" was iniinitely more vivacious and sparkling than this last. But "Alone at Last" is none the less beautiful because it is the less vivacious. Melody of a rare order for operetta, charac terizes "Alone at Last" and voices of a rare order interpreted the music. The ensemble was perfect, and the de licious harmony wits most beautifully sung. And so, too, were the solos, duets and trios, which sprinkled the entire piece. Good voices were need ed, and good voices there were. Nota ble among the voices were those of Mabel Weeks as Dolly Cloverdale, Fritzi von Busing as Tillie Dachau, two sopranos of unusual beauty, qual ity and range; Forrest Huff as Baron Franz von Busing, who possesses a rare tenor voice of range and tim bre. The comedy honors goes to Harry Conor and Kobinson Hewbold, as Count Spenningen and his son, re spectively. The latter had particu larly good opportunity in his song, "Some Little Bug Will Get You Some Day," a song the words of which have had publication in this paper. As a whole, "Alone at Last," was scenically and musically perfect. Action and plot gave way to these two elements, but this did not mar the piece. "Alone at Last" was excel lent entertainment.

George is simply pining away with sor row over the fact that he has none of his own. Perfection is such a lonesome state to be in—and besides, George has business reasons. Although there are said to be no risque situations it is screamingly funny, with characters that are typically American, or, rather New York, and lines that bubble over with fun and excitement. There is no doubt l that both the public and the critics will be unanimous in claiming this to be the | most laughable of farcical hits of the year. "A World of Pleasure." the huge, glittering, tuneful Winter Garden spec tacular spectacle, will be "A AVorld the attraction at the Or of Pleasure" pheum, next Wednesday evening, coming to this city following profitable and pleasing engagements in New York, Chicago, Boston, New Orleans and other large cities, which in every particular is huge and dazzling, going its predecssors one better. In the present production the costumes are perhaps more pictur esque. if a little bizarre, and more col orful and certainly richer in texture and more costly than those employed in any previous Winter Garden production. And when it comes to novelty of scene there is sufficient to please the taste of even the most discriminating.

For the ilrst half of next week a big musical comedy tabloid, entitled "My Honolulu Girl, will give the entire show.

In attempting to reform a dissipated son Sylvia is misunderstood and or dered ffom the house for being a selfish adventiiress. The spark of manhood of the son flares up within him at this. He defends the innocent girl, tells what he knows about the misuse of her money—and marries her.* Irene Fen wick plays in "A Girl Like That." scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. In this production Miss Fenwick co-stars with Owen Moore, husband of Mary Pickford.
