Training Camp Gossip
Jacksonville. 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. The second
team won by stronger hitting. Bat
teries for the second team were Cald
well, Cullon. Nvinamaker and Olsen;
for the regulars. Mogridge, Shawkey,
Alexander and Walters.

GOVERNOR WHITMAN
DISMISSES WENCK
Albany, N. Y., March 17.—Governor
Whitman late yesterday removed from
office Frederick A. 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."
It was announced at the executive
chamber that probably no successor to
Wenck would be appointed, as the
Governor hopes to see boxing exhi

"I deem the commissioner's actions

order to enable him to promote said
fight; taking free tickets, especially in
large numbers, for boxing fnatches
and from those Interested in the MadL

I. therefore, recommend that this
charge is sustained."

"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.
