Prom present indications It looks as
If there was an excellent chance of the
American league race being won by an
eastern team. The Athletics are run
ning a race that will be hard to beat, !
but New York 1 sticking pretty close, ;
and the . Dostonlans are playing in .
greatvform. With these three teams in ,
such grand shape Detroit does not look
to have a chance at present, bat Jen-'
nlngs' crew have been further back '
than they are now and won out They
still bare a chance to repeat unless the
other three clubs continue their win
ning career.
Of the Athletics. New York and Bos- '
ton. the former appears the strongest,
and if Mack's pitchers hold out and no
accidents occur to weaken the infield
the Athletics have a splendid chance
to rapture their third championship
pennant
- The American lcajue race looks like
a close contest to the finish, and the
team with the staying qualities will
win out. ... ,
The National league race is almost ,
as big a problem to solve as the Amer
ican, Chicago looks to have the best
' chance at present, but New York Is
mutiny n great fight, and the Pirates
have at last shown something of their
last season's form.! The Giants have
been playing In and out ball, however,

By bolstering up his pitching staCT
Frank Chance put the Cubs in the
running again, and the team's hitting
strength and ability to play Inside base
bull, make H.n strong choice for the
pennant. Weakness In : the box has
practically kept the Pirates out of the
race so far this season, but with a
half season to go the Pirates may
make a strong finish, and if the pitch
ers regain their form Chicago and New
York will have to keep hustling to bar
the Pirates out of first place.
New York's weakness so far has
been against second division teams,
Boston and Brooklyn throwing several
Jolts into the Giants' aspirations.
HE GREETED THE CZAR.
Experience of Nicholas II. With a Pa
risian Street Arab.'
' Ou one of his visits to Paris Nicholas
II. was left alone for a moment In bis
carriage. The czar was delighted at
the feeling of freedom and ease. Look
ing out of the window with all the
seat of a schoolboy playing truant be
taw before him one of those, pictur
esque street arabs who seem to sprout
between the paving atones of Paris.
This particular specimen, seated
against the railings, t with his nose In
the air, was whistling the refrain of
the Busslan national hymn. Suddenly
their eye met The street boy sprang
to his feet He bad never seen the em
peror, but he had seen his photograph,
and the likeness was striking.
"Suppose it is Nicholas?" he said to
himself, greatly puzzled.
He resolved to make sure without
delay. Walking up to within a yard
of the carriage and bobbing bis head,
he shouted in a hoarse voice to the
unknown foreigner:
"How's the empress?"
Picture his satisfaction-for, in fact,
he thought that it was only a good
Joke when the stranger replied, with
smile: .
"Thank you, the empress Is very
well and la delighted with her Jour-
ey.
The boy lost his tongue. He stared
at the speaker in dismay and then,
raising his cap, stalked away slowly,
very slowly, to mark his dignity.
' Nicholas 11. afterward often amused
himself by scandalizing the formal set
around him with the story of this pri
vate interview with a true Parisian.
McClure's Magazine.
' A SERIOUS PLAY.
The Author Was Willing, Though, to
Turn It Into a Comedy.
The gallery god. no lesa than the
patron of the padded chair, aspires to
write for the stage. I have a vivid
remembrance of the first of all 'the
playe submitted for production at the
Mew theater In New York. : It was
from an employee to a local railroad
station, probably a baggage smasher,
and 1 shall betray no confidence In re
cording that the author's name was
Murphy.
Though Mr. Murphy called his work
play. It was in reality only a scenario..
It waa entitled "Jim's Wife." The
plot waa as follows: in the first act
Jim had no wife, but he took his girl
to a dance Action They danced. In
act second came the "great scene."
The scene was caused by the fact that
Jim's girl danced with another man.
Jim felt impelled to kill blm. but be
refrained, reflecting that such things
did not occur In the best circles and
would thus be socially unpleaslng to
his lady. The curtain fell on his act
ol self sacrifice in, pot killing the, other
dancer. In act tbtrd there was still
more action. Jim's girl rewardwl him
for his delicacy by marrying him.
Final curtain.
Mr. Murphy seemed weighed down
by a fear that bis play was too serious t
lor tne New theater. In bis letter he
said: "If you would rather have It a
comedy I will send you the Jokes. 1
have a tew Jokes too.-Jobo Corbln
in World'a 'Work.
Hel to Match Walk.
"In every theater audience there are
critical persons who are prolific with
suggestions for maklng.the play more
realistic. said a stage manager.
"Some of these hints are worth con
sidering too. In one play that was
taged not long ago the biggest hit
was made by a character actress who
had to wear down-at-the-heel shoes.
On the third day of the New York
run I received a letter from a shoemak
er, who called my utteutloa to the fact
that the woman's gait and her shoes
did not ronteh. Her heels were run
down on the outside, whereas the walk
she assumed on the stage must Inevi
tably cause her shoes to run over on
the Inside. That was a point that
had escaped the notice of everybody
in the company. Cpon looking Into
the matter we found ' plenty of evi
dence to uphold our critic, and we se
cured a pair of property sb(ie with
heels worn away on the Inside." New
