THE DIFFICULT TASK ASSIGNED MANAGER WAI/TZ.

The Efforts to Firing Order Ont of Chaos Some Lost Opportunities

The Incentives to Strengthen­ ing the Team General

Mention.BALTIMORE, Mny 3. Editor SPOUTING

JyjFE: Vice President and now Manager AVultz h;is taken the team in personal charge, at the request of Captain Van Haltren.and is endeavoring to bring out a more satisfac­ tory condition. He is looking after the prac­ tice of the men as well as the morale which perhaps might properly be called more ale and b«s in view the selection of additional players. He hns come to the conclusion that the team is really weajc in the pitching de­ partment, a thing that has been apparent from the first, and will try to stiffen up that corpse by signing more. Haddock is the man the Baltimores need, but he is not likely to be gotten. He and a few others like him would be worth a gold mine to the Orioles, if there was enterprise in all directions cor­ respondingly to create the proper amount of enthusiasm.

MISSING OPPORTnUITIES. It is an exceedingly difficult matter for the

craziest crank in the world to enthuse over a base ball club that daily humbles his pride, but patronage can be stimulated by honest efforts to sign good talent when it is available. The people here are more than critical of the fact that Hardie Richardson was not at once engaged when his services were available. Here is a man, they say, who could discount any inficlder on the team, was ready for an emergency in the outfield as well, and would add to the batting strength of the club, a part of that feature in which it is specially defi­ cient. There is no question but what it was an opportunity that will hardly happen in a leries of yerirs. It is the constant taking ad­ vantage of such chances that eventually builds up a team. A team cannot be per­ fected nil at once, but a man can he garnered liere and another there by a manager who is constantly on the lookout, and this very activity in the management of theeltib begets confidence in pntrons that their pntience is jus*ilied, lint if, on the other Land, prompt action is not tukcn when such a chance offer*, It appears to confirm the suspicion that club officials arc striving to get along cheaply at the aerified cf the sportin? nriiie of the city.

THE INCENTIVE TO SUFFER. A club with an mietic fucoi-ss in the big

League and located in Baltimore would bean Investment of the bonnr,z:i orJer. There is no confidence invited byun exchange of one player for another who bus rot shown himself to be Itronger. It is not pr.ibablo tint tbo mere shift- luj of positions will bfgct »ny great additional strength. True, a man can play one position better than another, but the known merits of the men on the lialtiiuore infield do not cause this to beany bid whatever tor ptiblio favor. Baltimore will have to he keyed t.p consid^rab'y in its pitching department nnd built up fteadiiy in its butting department before it is ready to contest for supremacy in that cecond division of the lohedule.

WOOD ALL BIGHT.There is the best reason to believe that George

Wood bai not permanently lost nil the old cun- niujf with the bat, and that he will line up with the best of them, nfi he usually docs later in tbe leaton. It would be a mistake to drop that man for any temporary decline in play. On the Other bond, he has proven in all his pan his­ tory that he is reliable after he has once broken In for tbe season. It is even a mistake in tbe minds of many that be shoulj be laid off for a lingle game, as be would mould into his normal shape sooner by constant play. But, good Lord, blesi ui all; how easy it is to talk and see the remedy for nil at a distance. Perhaps familiarity would breed contempt In this ease.

Almost everyone in Baltimore posgesfes the panacea for all the evils the Orioles are heir to, and yet really no one knows all tbe circum- Itances that are to be contended with

It la real!; too bad that such a RADICAL MISTAKE

was made in tbo winter as to the relative itrength of the Orioles with the other teams of the League. The opponun ty fur an artistic »nd financial success as given by tbe formation of the twelve club League will probably never happen again. The chance for skimming off the cream of the pool the situation of a novel organization in f:ict everything was at iU best. Now the team inupt be built up by the usual llu.w process, and the interest will languish dur­ ing it. There c-as yellow gold and a handful] of diamonds in sight and it seeius too bud that there was not the judgment to grasp it. Prob­ ably never before in the history of bate ball has a large city been n:a<le to suffer in its sport­ ing pride ns has Baltimore, nnd it is more than K probability that the business bore is an ex­ ceedingly remunerative one when properly con­ ducted. All it has required ht any time was tbe combination of capita) and knowledge, and that it lisi never bad. Either ono with the other has been absent.

MKRKLY TINKERING.There is some effort to sfifure John Reilly for

first bn.'e and pat Whistler in the field. This, the manager thinks, would help the- club bat­ ting. Durjea for the pitching department Is also wanted. The general impression is that there would be no gnin by fuoh a course, but probably those on the fpot and 'Who are watch­ ing the men play are in a better position to judge. However, it is pretty plain that better men than either of the two mentioned are re­ quired if there are nny aspirations for the pen­ nant, and there should be if a paying patronage it expected.

IT IS DISCOUKAGINOto have Baltimorccover such a page in base ball history »s it does, nnd to cause the city to bc- eocic the clown of the whole curriculum, 14 seems like publishing the city with having a general lack of enterprise. But tbe fault in this case is with the (possibly almost) necessity of the system for carrying on tbe business which blocks out all competition. Tbe citttjs obliged to put up with what is offered to ff or to go without the sport altogether. It might not be miss to have soaie requirement that each city of the Leigue should produce a team of a certain standard, but at a superficial glance that hardly teems possible. Anyway, not only the city, but tbe whole League is handicapped when the ait- ation is aa it appears to day. ALBEHT MOTT.

THE THEATRES.

Brilliant Opening of the Summer Opera Season Other Not able Events.Once again the devotees of grand opera

have been drawn to the Grand Opera House at the wave of Director Hiurichs' magic baton. The fifth consecutive season of grand opera waa opened in a blaze of glory last Mon­ day night with "II Trovatnre." During the week the attendance was large, thus showing conclusively that the summer grand opera has become established and that a most suc­ cessful season may be anticipated. Year by year the organization has advanced in strength and excellence, and in its range of musical achievement and the enthusiastic crowds (hut filled the Grand Opera House nightly during the week and cheered the director and the favorite artists of the company on their reap­ pearance testified to the prominent place they nave assumed in the life of the city.

This brilliant opening of what will be the longest continuous season of grand opera ever undertaken in America has the more signifi­ cance in contrast with the dismal reception of most of the few isolated performances g.vcn- down town during (he winter aca-on, as it <;hows tho only sound basis upon which opera can ever be securely estnblished anywhere.

This bisis includes, in the first pUoe, a per­ manent oraani&ition of orchestra, ohorus and solo artist*, working together constantly under a wi*e, careful and experienced director and pre­ senting a wide and varied list of both standard and new operas with such even and trustworthy excellence that music- lovers are always sure of getting their money's worth and need not stop to inquire about tbe "star;." And there is tbe further important condition that these perform­ ances are given in a beautiful, comfortable and well-ordered bouse, at prices lower than those comni'in'y charged for inferior theatrical enter­ tainments. The appeal is thus made not merely to the rich and fashionable few, but to the great body of the public, who have always been, and always must be, tbe truest and must trust­ worthy support of any permanent artistic achievement.

It is not too much to say that thij is the first time that grand opera bss ever been actually established upon a popular basis in America, and it Is especially to be observed that it! popu­ larity has steadily grown with the advance of its artistic standard, which promises th-is yeir to be carried still further forward and upward. As a means of musical education and of popular edification and enjoyment, the importance of this opera seison cannot bo overstated.

The programme for next week ia a notable one. On Monday night there will be a grnnd revival of "Cavalleria Rustioona," to be pre­ ceded by Offenbach's one act operetta ''Mar­ riage by Lantern.'* This bill will bo repeated Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday an.l Thurs­ day "Tannhauser" will be given; at the Satur­ day matinee the ever- popular "Bohemian Girl" and on Saturday nieht "Faust."

A NEW FARCE AT THE WALNUT.On Monday night the Abbott Teal Comedy

Company will present at the Walnut Street Theatre for the first time the excessively funny and highly successful farce, "Little Tinpett." The scenes of ''Little Tiprett," Alexander Bis- son'a very funny farce, aro located in New York City. The first act takes place in the offices of Tippet! and Ncuton, and the second and third ajtd at the home of Ti'ppelt on Lcxington ave­ nue. The work of adaptation as perforir.ed by Ilarry and Ed Paulton, the authors of "Niobe" Is said to be unusually brilliant. The inciden­ tal music has been composed by W. S. MuMaly. The farce will be acted by Charles Coote, Grace Thorne, Jaques Kruger, Sheridan Tupper, Mabel Bert, Arthur Forrest, Erne Germou tad Master Tbroop.

"PR. BILL" AT THE PARK. Tbe return of "Dr. Bill" to Philadelphia will

be hailed with delight by tho admirers and lov­ ers of brilliant and sparkling fares. This clever work will bo ?een at the Park Theatre on Mon­ day, May 9, under the direction of (J. W. Sam- mis, and will be given in a> manner that will eclipse all its previous visits to Philadelphia. The company is even jiettor than when Been here before, and the famous "kangaroo dance" will have lest none of its attractiveness.

Beauty often depends on plumpness; so does comfort; so does health. If you get thin, there is something wrong, though you may feel no sign of it.

Thinness itself is a sign; sometimes the first sign; sometimes not.

The way to get back plumpness is by CAREFUL LIVING, which sometimes in­ cludes the use of Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil.

Let us send you free a little book which throws much light on all these subjects.
