Manager Clarence Jessup Has Been Requested to Attend Meeting to Be Held in Columbus Next Tuesday.

JESSUP DON'T SEEM WILLING TO JOIN NEW CIRCUIT Fans of the City However Are Anxious to See a Faster Article of Baseball Than That Supplied by l.-O. League. (BY TORT.) Yeabarday Manager Clarence Jes; sup ot the Richmond base ball team, received a long distance message from "Bobby" Quinn at Columbus, O., asking him to attend a meeting which will be held at f.hat city next Tuesday for the purpose of organizing a new baa ball league. Quinn is secretary of th Columbus American, Association 4e&m and bas been mentioned as president of the new league. Manager tfesuup told Quinn that he would be resent Friday night, the owners of the Newark, Mansfield, Lancaster and Marlon teams of the Ohio-Pennsylva-xila league, held a meeting at Marion, O.. and Toted to withdraw from that organization. At this meeting it was decided to bold another meeting at Columbus next Tuesday and invite representatives from Richmond, Hamilton, Springfield and Lima to attend. If at this meeting a league of the eight Cities mentioned is formed, it promises lo bo as strong as the old Ohio-Peun-ylvania league. Manager Jessup is not yet willing to concede that It would be wise policy for Richmond to Join this proposed circuit. He bas his doubts if the venture would be successful from a financial standpoint. The traveling exIpnBP3 would be high Rnd a much more expensive ball team than the one of last season would have to be placed In the field. Local fans are delighted with, the prospect of Richmond being included In a fast minor lesgue and base ball talk can be heard all over the city. If the Richmond Amusement company would accept a franchise in the proposed league and place a first divis ion team in this city, it is a safe bet! that the local bugs would accord the team magnificent support. 'The team last poor as It was, was well sup. - ported, wixn last league nan and a fast scrappy local team, RichnvMid should prove a baso ball gold mVie. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS.

"The Girl Question," which is now serenely sailing along on a record smashing career at the LaSalle Theatre, Chicago, has a lot discernable to the naked eye despite tha fact that it is a musical comedy, but the ingredients of pretty lairla, catchy music and novel, dashing fences have not been overlooked in Its construction. "There is pomeUsing doing" every minute from the rlaa to the fall of the curtain of this Jplay and there isn't a minute when the audience Is allowed to stop and wontr If they are enjoying themselves or awl. A song, a dance, a comedy Scene, a good laugh, a witty line or a bioment of intense absorption regardlag the outcome of the next few words M the plot, keep the audience breathless until the final fall of the curtain, nd then they remember only an evening of pleasure.

"Just Out of College," by George Ade. the author of "The College Widw," and "The County Chairman." w ill be presented for the ftrst time in this my at the Gennett on January 1.. next Wednesday. One of the cleverly drawn characters in "Just Out of College" is that of the railway news stand tirl, who, while disposing of her wares, discusses the authors of the day as follows: "George Bernard Shaw is clever, in't he? I can't get on to him. but I know he's clever. I like Hall Caine. but he's such a sad looking man. William Dean Howells writes beautifully, but nothing ever happens in his books. Drummers never read anything but Billy Baxter, but my favorite js Richard Harding Davis: you can tell by his picture that he's 'just lovely.' Id 1ot to meet him." "Tempest and Sunshine." The remark "Why don't some one 4ramarite Tempest and Sunshine? has fcaea frequently heard and the wish ftu beeu gratified, a "Tuopest and

SCENE Sunshine" to appear Jan. I'T. is on the li.st of attractions at the Geunctt. It coiws Vaudeville at the Phillips. One change has been made in the vaudeville program at the New Phillips for tliiH week from the original announcement. In place of the York Herbert Trio, presenting a comedy acrobatic novelty, Erie and Ieo. eccentric comedians, have been secured. They have a sketch that is reputed to be a genuine novelty. Much is expected of this week's bill, which will introduce for the first time to a New Phillips audience, M. Williams, a cowboy Juggler: Iew Simonds and company in a comedy playlet, and tlK Four Sullivans in a Kinging and da-tcing act. The last mentioned troupe will he offered as headliners anil they are counted on to give as lively an exhibition of singing and dancing yiunts as any patron of xaudeville wculd care to see. In addition there will he the usual illustrated song. ung by Miss Ethel O'Connell, a locaJ young woman, who is essaying thia role successfully. The song this week will be "In the Wildwood Where the Bluebells Grow." The cameragraph will show two new and np--o-date motion pictures. Miss Eva H&zeltiue, who has been presiding at 4ht ninun fnr Ki'inw time ;i rmtnrs lo he (g,vl - g pn(i.e satjf;u,ioil Wrd. nesday the usual souvenir matinee, will be given for the ladies and on Saturday a special matinee for the children. Amateur performers are being given encouragement to appear each Friday night and there is a promise that considerable talent will be developed as a result of this feature. Already a number of performers who got their start iu this way, have gone out ot Richmond and are now filling engagements on the various circuits. Sporting Notes. The National and American league season this year will close on October 7. and the world's series will probably begin October !. Mike Doolin. who cannot lie surpassed in fielding at short, will be coached carefully in his hitting next spring. Doolin's worst fault is to hit at bad balls.

Opening day schedule in Hie Nation-, al leauue, April 1-1. will be as follows: ; i'lttsburg at St. Louis: Chicago at ('in-, cinnaii; Boston at Brookln; NewYork at. Philadelphia. Malachi Kittredge. who for years was in the big circuit, must have found the Eastern league pitchers puzzling this year, for lie could only produce a swat output of ."Jl.". Washington fans believe that Johnson, the Montana wonder, will be the pitching sensation for the American; league next season. Johnson surely has the natural ability and all he needs is experience and coaching. If Garry Hermann does not decide to promote Ganzel to the management of the Heds. he will have to get rid of his first baseman, as sharps consider that "Popup" John would not do good ,vork as a private. Willie Keeler was stung when theWilliamsburg trust company closed its doors. However, Willie will Strug-' gle along on his income from a dozen or more Brooklyn apartment houses until the season opens. j Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco promoter, denies that he Is a bidder for a return battle between Hilly Papke and Hugo Kelly.

H Approved That Plan. It was saul in the Norton family that T'nele Hiram had no ear for music, as he failed to appreciate the vocal efforts of his niece Margaret. Hut if his ears were defective bis poeketbook left nothing to be desired. ' We've been talking over Margaret's voice," Sflirt a dauntless and tactful relative who had been delegated to approach Uncle Hiram on the subject. "It really seems as if she ought to take lessons a ml practice regularly. Her mother talks of selling a little of her mining stock for Margaret's sake." T'ncle Hiram's keen old face wore a mutinous expression. ' Have to practice two, three hours a day, I suppose?" he said dully. "Oh, yes." said the venturesome relative. Then she had a sudden inspiration. "It would be best of all If she could go abroad for two or three years," she murmured thoughtfully, "but of course that Is out of the ouestion. the expense" "Never you mind about the expense:" broke in Uncle Hiram joyfully. "If she can go abroad a good long ways abroad to take her lessons and do her practicing I'll foot the expense." Youth's Companion. French 8chools. The quality of the secular instruction in the French schools seemed to me extraordinarily high. It happened, for example, that I was taken into a classroom where a lesson In English was being given to some French boys of sixteen, mostly the sons of operatives. The exercise was conducted iu excellent English, which the pupils seemed to speak almost as readily as the teacher, and the point under discussion when I visited the class was one which Tvould have puzzled Harvard freshmen. It wen the distinction lu meaning between the -words priest a Catholic occ1e?!a.Iic: clergyman an Anglican, and minister a dissenter. In American schools, or, rather, in the results of the instruction there afford-, d. I have never come across the' teaching of any foreign language ; which compared In efficiency with the , teaching of English in secondary ! schools throughout France. And to all j appearances this was only one exam-' pie of the thoroughness and the vitality of French teaching in all its branches. Barrett Wendell iu "France of Today."

Chinaman who" has some or me natTVe wit of his country, one such has a laundry in Lexington avenue, uot far from Twenty-third street. The other day I heard him jell at a recalcitrant customer: "You no pay? Then you paper tiger:" I asked what he meant by a "paper tiger." and he replied. "Oh. in

China a paper tiger is a blackguard who blows much, but is harmless:" He added: "When a man is very proud of himself, what Americans call 'stuck up,' we compare to a rat falling into settle and w eighing itself. When a j Chinaman overdoes a tiling we say he is a hunchback making a bow. The rich son who quickly spends his father's money we call a rocket which goes off at once. We say of you rich Americans who pend money to the heathens by missionaries and neglect their family at home, 'They hang their lantern on a pole, which is seen from afar, but gives no light below.' "New York Tress. An Arab Honeymoon. For seven days after the wedding the Arab bride and bridegroom are supposed not to leave their room. The bride may see none of her own family and only the women folk of her husband's, who wait on her. She remains in all her wedding finery and paint and does absolutely nothing. The bridegroom generally slips out at night after three days and sees a few friends privately, but be persistently hides from his wife's family, and shouUl be by accident meet his father-in-law before the seven days are over he turns his back and draws his burnous, or haik, over his face: This is their view of a honeymoon, and they grow as weary of it as any European couple do of their enforced continental tour.
