Speaking of "Laughs and Lyrics," as . one of the signboards alliterates, there . were more laughs. Li the two houra and fifty minutes occupied by the play than Weber & Fields usually get in a week. As for lyrics, some of the stuff pulled by the players was worse than the lyrics of the flimsiest musical ! comedy that ever catered to "the tired business man." Leading comedy roles were filled by Jackson and Buster Brown of the visitors, and by Zimmerman. Moroney and Needham of the Cubs. They were helped out by minor parts, and by Hub Perdue, who clowned It at Intervals on the coaching lines with a far away imitation of Germany Schaefer.

Negotiations are under way between the English Lawn Tennis association and the American governing body which will probably result In another International series in this country. The English Lawn Tennis association has already decided to send a team to Australia, whether or not it is to stand as the challenger nation for the Davis cup. The success of the British Isles In the preliminary against the Frenchmen has sealed the matter. There Is no secret as to the fact that Charles P. Dixon, who led the Britishers last year, when they were .defeated by the Americans, believes that with another opportunity he could win against Larned and the fiery McLoughlln.

SOX BATTLE HARD TO GAIN VERDICT Subdue Senators, 4-2, After Playing Stalling Game Against Rain.
Washington, D. C. July 16. It was sent in a pinch hitter at the proper moment, then the weather man withdrew, and the Sox and Senators finished it with the Sox victors, 4 to 2. Washfngton got a run In the first round and the Sox tied the count in the fourth. The Senators might have taken the lead in the fifth, but they turned some bone base-running, bo It was still tied In the sixth when a thunderstorm rolled up from the west. The Sox did nothing In their half of the sixth, and after one home batter had been retired Catcher Williams hit for two bases. Just at that time it looked as if the rain would spoil the pastime for the rest of the day. If the Senators got Williams home before the rain came they would, therefore, be winners, so the Sox started stalling.

Stockholm, July 16. The last day of the track and field sports in the sta dium brought no sensation. The games reached their culmination In the marathon. The curtain falls on the Olympic with the United States well In front In the total points In all sports to date and with a sweeping victory In the field and track events which for years have constituted the program at meetings in America and Great Britain and to which athletes of these nationalities devote their energies. The bestowal of the prizes by the king, who placed laurel wreaths on the heads of the victors and shook hands with all the winners, took place in the stadium yesterday afternoon. The American team led the march of triumphal athletes, who, when array ed before the king, formed an assemblage of picked men and women of the world of sport such as never was seen in one body before. The triumphs of the day were di vided for the most part between the United States and the northern nations. The latter, particularly Swed en, scored a number of ' points in wrestling and aquatic sports in which the Americans did not figure. James Thorpe of the Carlisle Indian school. proved himself easily the greatest all around athlete of the world in the Decthlon, which provided a variety of tests of speed, strength and quick ness, while Eugene L. Mercer, Uni versity of Pennsylvania; George W. Phllbrook, Notre Dame, and James J. Donoghue, Los Angeles A. C., were prominent in the second class. The American quarter mllers ran away witn. tne i.euo-meter relay as predicted, Sheppard, Llndbefgr, Mere dith and Reldpath showing their heels to their rivals. England probably would have taken second place Instead of France, but her first man, NlcoU de veloped lameness. The hop, step and jump proved wholly a Swedish event. The northern country took the three leading places, and divided the cross country race of 8.000 meters, which really was a test of cliff climbing and ability to penetrate underbrush, with the husky Finns second, while the English team was ' third. The Americans for the first time in this class of work were absolute outsiders. Two events have occurred which case a shadow on tne Olympic games. The Portuguese runner, F. Lazaro, who ran in the marathon, died yesterday from sunstroke. and Lieut. Lawrence, a British officer of the Eighteenth hussars, was thrown Into a ditch during: the military competition, suffering concussion of the brain and other serious Injuries. Lazaro died In the hospital yesterday morning. He suffered from sunstroke and fell out at Silferdal on the return journey, after running nineteen miles. He never recovered consciousness. He was delirious throughout the night, and imagined he was still running the race.' The Bohemian runner, F. Savlk. also Is In the hospital, but his condition Is not considered serious. The -crown prince of Sweden visited the hospital this morning. He Ss greatly distressed over the event. M'GOORTY TO BOX TOMMY GAVIGAN Eddie McGoorty and . Tommy Gavigan will box twelve rounds before the Eagles club of Cleveland during the first week of August. Marty Forklns, manager . of the Oshkosh middle weight, arrived in Chicago yesterday morning from Cle-eland, and is await ing a definite date arrangement from the promoters. McGoorty has also received offers to box' Billy Papke before Gibson's club In New York and Bob Moha at the Madison Square Garden. Both matches hinge on the outcome ""of the McGoorty-Gavlgan match. SHERIFF STOPS AUTO RACES Canton, O., July 16. An angry mob surrounded Sheriff Oberlin and threatened him yesterday when he served warrants on Bob Burman and Harry Kyle, drivers of racing automobiles at the fair grounds. Forty members of the Canton military company, serving as deputy sheriffs, dispersed the crowd. The Christian Endeavor in augurated the movement against the races. ONE KILLED, ONE HURT, BY CAR Baseball Player Has Skull Crushed. Laporte, Ind., July 16. Earl Ribbe was killed and W. G. Armstrong seriously Injured last night when, in attempting to reach the stopping place of an lnterurban car, they ran too close to the track.
