Advice to the Girl Whose Friends Thiuk She has Talent. By Edna May. Less than four years ago I went on the stage as a chorus girl. My salary was sls a week. It may interest the countless girls who are following in my footsteps to learn how I rose in so short a time. What I shall set down here is no fic tion or moralizing, but the square truth, based on my own observation and ex perience. I had taken singing lessons for some time. My friends praised my voice and advised me to go on the stage. My head was turned by their silly praise and I began to believe, at last, that the operatic stage was my vocation, and that an enthusiastic public only (Halted the chance to fall at my feet. I suppose every stage-struck girl feels the same way. Poor things! I had no idea of starting as a chorus girl Like all the rest, I fancied my voice and talent would float me into a Ss(l a week job at the very least. In the summer of 1596 I started out to get an engagement. I went first to E E. Rice. It took me two whole days to get access to him. He was most courteous, but said he could find no opening for me, and didn’t even ask me to sing for hint. As ho dismissed me he said: . , “I don’t want to discourage you, but unless you have a really marvellous voice you stand very little chance of getting even a small part in any Broad wav production.” Next day I went to Klaw & Erlanger. It was three days before I could see one of their representatives. I forget Ills name. % ... I stated my business with as little conceit as I could. He asked where I had played last. I told him it was my first experience: He raised his eye brows took down my name and address and said he’d let me know if he could get ine placed. He evidently could find no place for me, for that was nearly lour years ago, and up to this morn ing I have heard nothing from him. i next went to a theatrical agency on upper Broadway, where 1 had heard a chorus was being collected. The man ager tested my voice, found it satis factory and asked: “Any experience?” • “None,” I replied. ‘•How do you think you’d look In tights?” “I’d never, never wear such tilings!’ “Good by!” My heart sank as I went away. I have computed that about one girl in five who applies to a first class man ager gets a position. She will secure this for one of four reasons: “Pull,” good voice, good shape or pretty face. The girl with the last three qualities Is bound to get a position soon or late. A friend gave me a letter to Oscar Hammerstein, whose new Olympia was just then the talk of New York. He was preparing his tuneful opera, "San ta Marla,” for the stage there. I entered his otiice and presented my letter. He read it and asked: "So you want to go on the stage? What can you do?" “Anything I’m told to,” I answered. “I’m a novice, but I’m willing to be gin at the bottom of the ladder, and I’ll work ever so hard to climb to the top.” "They all say that,” he sighed, “but somehow they never do it. I’ll send you to my stage manager, Mr. Smith, and let I,lm try your voice.” Mr. Smith heard me sing, then went back to Mr. Hammerstein with me. At last Mr. Hammerstein said he would try my voice. He sat down to the piano, and with fear and trembling I sang. He tested the range of my voice and tried me on sustaining sev eral high notes. Then there was another pause, and again my heart fell to my boots. At the end of a century of thought Mr. Hammerstein actually offered me a part in “Santa Maria.” It was a chorus part, but I had, be sides, a few words to speak. A month earlier I would have scorned so insignificant a role; but now I. ac cepted it with rapture. I am told that some managers ask girls insulting questions, speak to them insolently and make things generally unpleasant. Other managers humiliate applicants by insisting on judging for themselves as to the girl’s physical qualifications for chorus costume. These brutes, I am glad to say, are seldom found among first class mana gers. Such managers are trained to tell at a glancp if a girl’s figure Is suit able, without forcing her to pose for them in any degrading costume. Mr. Hammerstein told me to report for work on the Monday following my a'-tLOB _A engagement. I went home with my head in a whirl of delight. At ten o'clock sharp that Monday morning I arrived at the Olympia, reg istered with the doorman and was ad mitted to the stage. A lot of other girls were there already. By 10.15 the whole chorus was on hand. The stage looked dim and dirty and, dingy. The empty, dark auditorium yawned blankly in front. Where was the fairyland gleam and glitter? How were these chattering business-like girls, in more or less shabby street clothes to be transformed into the houris of beauty whom I had so often envied from across the footlights? And thus another of my illusions fled. I had no earthly notion of the real work I would be expected to do. All I had planned was to look pretty and win applause. I soon found out the truth. I stood in a corner, very much scared, watching the other girls, and envying their professional coolness. At last Mr. Hammerstein bustled on to the stage and called out: "Now, ladies, get together; Sopra nos, step to this side of the stage. The rest stay where they are!” The plunge was made. I was up against my first rehearsal. I was at last upon the stage. BOXERS TO GO TO EUROPE. • “Farson” Davies Negotiating to Take O'Rourke’s Aggregation to the Exposition. If the present arrangements are car ried out there will be a stringency in the pugilistic market about the time of the Paris Exposition, for every Am erican fighter of note seems to be look ing forward to a visit to the French capitol on the occasion of the big fair. To visit Paris is, of course, an entice ment and to Visit Paris during the Ex position is a pleasure doubly to Vie de sired, but when to this is added the fact that there are to be many fights pulled off there at this time the temp tation to take advantage of this op portunity to combine business with pleasure becomes too great to be re sisted. Among those who contemplate an in vasion of Europe this spring is “Par son” Davies, who expects to cross the “pond" at the head of a string of fight ers chiefly recruited from the large and eminent aggregation that is under the direction of Thomas O'Rourke. Long before the athletic, carnival was an nounced the “Parson" had decided to visit Europe with some of the good American boxers, and he was already negotiating with O’Rourke when it was stated that he would have an opportun ity to display his talent at the Exposi tion. He immediately redoubled his ef forts and things now look as if he would succeed in carrying out his scheme. If such is the case, he will proceed to match his boxers as often as possible with the foreign pugilists, and will also have them ready for matches with any American fighters who may chance to be on the scene. Of course every one knowns Charles E. “Parson” Davies, for he is one of the best known, best liked and squarest sporting men this country has ever produced. Although by no means a “parson" his dignified bearing, his dark clothes and his gentlemanly address won him his title and it has stuck. For many years Davies has been interested in things pugilistic. It was he who guided the fortunes of Peter Jackson and Joe Choynski, and the fact that he is at the head of such an enterprise in dicates that the Parisians are to wit ness some excellent sport along this line this summer. Among the men who will probably cross the ocean under the direction of Davies are Sharkey, “Mysterious Billy” Smith, Walcott and George Dixon. Da vies is of the opinion that with these men to do his fighting for him he can get any pugilist who may turn up in Paris, wherever they may come from. In order to entice some good men to the capital, however, he is willing to put up purses large enough to induce the pugilists to come to France from England, Australia and other parts of the world, and if other f'ghters from the United Slates should wish to enter as contestants for the money, they w’ill not be barred. That there will be plenty of these other men on hand there is not a shad ow of doubt. Both McGovern and Mc- Coy have already been approached, and they would undoubtedly consent to make the trip if they were assured that they would have an opportunity to meet reputable men of their class for good money. In addition to this Jeffries has already given his consent to the pro posal. He will go to Paris in Company with Ernest Itoeber, who expects to be able to meet some first-rate wrestlers at the Exposition. Among those who have given their unqualified approval to the project is W. A. Brady. In speaking of the mat ter he said: “Everything has been settled, and the pugilistic tournament is now a cer tainty. Plans for the building, show ing the layout of the rings, have al ready been sent me, and I suppose that the men are now at work upon the building. Of course, as the result of such an opportunity, many of our good American boxers will go to Paris for this occasion. For instance, Jeffries will surely box In one of the contests, and while his opponent has not yet been selected positively, he will naturally be the best man available in the heavy weight class. No telling, perhaps, it might be so arranged that Sharkey could fight Jeff I understand that he talks of being there. Now If he was to post a suitable forfeit with some reput able person it Is not Impossible that he might receive even an earlier con sideration. Jeffries hates to be ‘called’ worse than anything in the world, and I believe that a good deposit would be covered.” As the result of this general approval the Paris carnival of boxing is the chief topic of conversation in the pugilistic world. Everywhere the fighters and managers are talking of the excellent opportunity that is to be given for the pulling off of fights in a country where there would be practically no police to contend against, as they have been given to understand that the authori ties will not Interfere or attempt to stop any fight that Is being conducted in accordance with the rules of the ring. AFTER KID BROAD. Although " Kid ” Broad has been doing wonders in the ring of late, yet there is one manager who believe the i he has the superior of the Clevelander and is ready to back his statement. That manager is Jack Dougherty and under his wdng h< hc.s Frank Patter son, the Brooklyn feather-weight. So well does Dougherty think of his man's chances with Broad that he has posted a forfeit of SIOO to ulnd a match at 122 pounds, weigh in at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of the battle. Patterson has already two decisions over Broad and has yet to suffer defeat. Marty McCue also believes that he can beat Broad, anu is anxious to arrange a match with him, but In the event of the Cievelandlte »ot accepting the defi ho will take on Patterson. SPRING GOLF HAPPENED. * • ■ '4 ■ And the Game is Bdiig Revived With a Thousand Times all Former Interest. By James Laing, Crescent Athletic Club Professional. There is not a sport known to the American public which has come to the front so rapidly and taken such a firm footing in ail parts of the United States as the game of golf. It Is one of the simplest and at the same time most fascinating sports upon the face of the earth, although it has for centuries been played almost exclusively by the Scotch people. The game offords most exhilarating exercise, and the time is not far dis tant when the workingman will be able to enjoy the sport fully as well as the millionaire. Such is the case in Scotland, where many of the links are public property', - - LEFT-HANDED NIBLICK. and even in this country R v is simply a case of the people learning-the game, as links will be provided for qftem just the same as beautiful parks are pro vided for the public. There are com paratively few of the working classes who have taken up the game. The first tiling necessary is to pur chase a good set of clubs. The select ing of the clubs is a rather important matter, and in order to prevent get ting a set of clubs made up of odds and ends, a beginner had better get a professional or an experienced amateur to do the selecting. In selecting a sot of clubs those most used by a beginner are a driver, a bras sey, cleek, • mid-iron, mashle and put ter. The niblick is a club that nearly every golfer carries in his bag, but sel dom has occasion to use. it is a club that the beginner can dispense with, as a mashie will answer the purpose quite as well. FOR THE BEGINNER. Brute strength is not necessary in playing the game of golf, which is al most purely a game of knack. One has to depend more upon the swing anrl let ting the club do the work than in at tempting to force the club to do its duty. Accuracy is the chief feature in golf, and it is far better for a beginner to strike easy at a ball and make sure of hitting it than it is to endeavor to see how bard it can bo hit. A player must keep his eye on the ball to obtain accuracy and this can only be done by using the greatest pre caution. One has to learn to strike the ball easily and.very deliberately at first and as he becomes more accustomed to it and gains more confidence in him self he will find that he is naturally ■ IB——in am n | ciwi—| |—— ONE OF THE BALLS. gaining greater distance in his drives without realizing that he is uncon sciously putting more force in the stroke without the perceptible effort of additional strength being used. It seems to come to a person slowly but surely. Forcing a club to do its work is what is called “pressing,” the most disas trous habit a golf player can fall Into, and one that unless curbed will not only prove demoralizing for the time being, but will eventually ruin his game. While golf is a more or less expen sive game, an outfit for a beginner should not cost over ten dollars. This will allow two dollars for the driver, a dollar and a hair for the brassey and one dollar apiece for the cleek, mid-iron and mashie and putter, making seven dollars and a half, which leaves two dollars and a half to invest in a caddy bag. It is really not necessary to purchase a golfing costume, as any old, loose fitting garments, which will give per fect fre< doin to the arms and shoulders, will answer. The only other equipments necessary for the pleasure of the new aspirant are the balls. New bails will cost $4.50 per dozen, but I should advise the begin- 4£giSßfi|k BEGINNING THE CLEEK SHOT. ncr to do his practice work with re made balls, which he can purchase from any club professional for twenty five cents apiece. ■>- It does nfit require a wplt-kept golf course to learn the game upon, as any stretch of country wll do, providing the grass is nqt too ra.nk. ** The object of starting with a full set of clubs is to have the beginner use the proper clubs for each He as it occurs. The first impression is. always the most lasting, arid a person starting properly will have no bad habits to break him self of later on, and his advancement will be more rapid. My reason for desiring a pupil to take the first lesson in driving is that a great many people starting in the game of golf are very stiff, and tak- I; ; their first lesson i i driving limbers them up, and also gives them a good idea of playing their brassey or cleek shots through the fair green, as the swings and follow through is the same. The player must take a firm grip upon the club near the end of the shaft with his left hand in such a manner that the palm of his hand is against the side of the shaft instead of directly underneath. The back of the hand, or knuckles, will point in the direction in which the ball is to ho driven, while the “X” formed by the thumb and first finger will point straight down the shaft. The right hand is grinned im mediately below and close up to the left hand, with the “V” already dc- FUTTER. scribed likewise pointing down the shaft. The fingers of the right hand curve around the shaft till they ap pear almost on the very top of the shaft. After the grip is satisfactorily ar ranged the next thing to be done is to address the bail. The club should be solid just behind the ball, and thus your stand should be taken to the lee of the club. LINE OF BALL. The ball should be almost in a direct line with the left foot.. Ball, club, shaft and hands and eye : could be on about Ihe same vorth al ; with the club resting at exac. ri - cnglest with the ball’s intended direction oi flight. The right foot should be slightly advanced toward the ball by at least an inch and a half or two inches. This 'will give the player the advantage of a good fol low through, which he could not obtain M ID-IRON. if his feet were on a perfectly straight line. In a full swing an arc must be de scribed on a line with the course with which the ball is to take, and unless it is a true arc the ball will either be pulled or sliced. in swinging the club it should bn tak en back slowly, and at the same time the eye should be kept on the ball in a direct line with the left shoulder. In bringing down the club to come in con- FOLLOW OF THE .STROKE. tact with the ball. It should be swung swiftly, but without any great power, and the elub must continue on through after hitting the ball until the eye is directly over the right shoulder. The head is kept perfectly still, while Iho shoulders move with the Might of the club, which forms almost a complete circle. The eye should not be taken off tho ball, while any portion of the stroke is in progress. In the backward motion the weight Is all upon the right foot, and as the body turns gently the left heel raises from the ground and lhe player finds himself balancing slightly on the left toe, while the downward swing brings about the reverse condition, the weight of the body being transferred to the left foot, and ns tho elub follows through after coming in contact with the ball, the player finds his right heel has raised from the ground and he is merely balancing with his right too on the ground. The same stroke is used In brassey and cleek shots. Putting power in the downward stroke is what is called "pressing,” which is the worst habit a beginner could get into, and a thing which has caused tho defeat of many expert golf ers. I* A. W. GOING WEST. The nnnual meet of the League of American Wheelmen of 1900 will be held in Milwaukee.

In almost every instance the inan selected has been a member of one of tlie good teams of the National | League. I - “Kid” Nichols, the pitcher, who has helped to land many a championship lor tlic Boston club, has been engaged as coach by. the athletic officials at Yale, and his selection is remarkable for the fact that r.e will bo the first professional bas. ball coach that that university has had for many year's. As usual Fred Tenny will coach for Brown University, but his selection occasions little comment, as he was a member of that college team before be became a professional player in the Boston club. Lewis, another Boston man, will coach this season for Harvard, and Hughey Jennings, the first: baseman of the Brooklyn team, will perform the same duties for Cornell. “Bill” Clark, of the Boston club, has been engaged by the athletic authorities at Princeton anfl the team of the University of Pennsyl vania will be coached by Arthur E. Ir win, the well-known player dnd man ager. From such a list of coaches it can in seen that the athletic authorities of tin various colleges are looking forward to an interesting season .his spring. What is more to the point no one seems to question but that they are correct in their surmise. ..Professional baseball is not as popular in some sections as it was a year or two ago and the sup port of the professional clubs Is by no means as great, Wlest it comes to in ler-coUegiatn baseball, however, the lovers of the Sport I:now’ that these carries am to lie played for all they are worth, and wherover the larger clubs arc neglected Just so much more atten tion will be paid to the playing of the college niijcs. The practice work at Yale will com mence within a few days for, although the conditions will not be favorable for any infield work for some time to come, the field is in good shape to allow the catching of long (lies as well as for general batting, throwing and battery practice. The Yale authorities are con templating a radical change in their policy for the coining season, however. In the past It has been their practice to arrange for u certain number of games with professional clubs early in the season, but. it is now stated that this rule, wifi be violated this, year and that few If any of the professional challenges received will be accepted. Although it if. yet early in the season the eager candidates for places on the Harvard team have been at work for more thnn a week, tiny after day they have met at the gymnasiums to piuetlee themselves in the deveral skillful twlstß and twirls that- are considered byi older and wiser 1 leads as bfilirtictuj for development of the muscles that are called Into play by the gum- of baseball.
