Buster Brown" a hodgepOdge OF

of years in a New York Sunday comic
supplement, is delighting the young

road, and all are doing exceedingly wen.
though the organization at the Ma

meritorious than the others. At any
rate, the piece has caught on, and that
is the main point from the managerial

There was a disposition in New York
Immediately after the first presentation
of "Fantana" to assume that in this
latest operetta Jeff De Angels had
missed fire. Those who are able to see
below the surface never admitted the
possibility of the work falling below
success, and the outcome has proved
the accuracy of their diagnosis. At the
Lyric theater De Angels and Fan
tana" are drawing large audiences, and
it is likely that they. could remain there
during the rest of the season if ar
engagements can be made to induce the
companies previously booked to post
pone their engagements until next sea-
son. 1t is improbable that these people
will consent to such an arrangement
for the average company regards New
York as being just a shade better than
heaven. At any rate, De Angels has
caught on to a greater extent than ever
before, and the most convincing evil
dence of this, aside from the gratifying
box Office returns, is the fact that num-
bers of confirmed theater goers have
already seen the piece several times.

s., 0. sir..-
The ball basters of the Santa Ana
high school triumphed over the local
prep schoolboys in sensational game
played at Santa Ana yesterday after
noon.
1t was in the second inning that San
ia Ana made the only run of the game,
and this was really brought around
the rocks on a f1uke.
Spurgeon was at bat and had famed
the atmosphere twice. The next ball
he fouled and the umpire called it a
strike. The pail passed beyond the
backstop and Spurgeon gained the
second station. The Los Angeles boys
claimed that Spurgeons ball was a
legitimate foul, but to no avail.
The next man up for Santa Ana
bunted, and Childe's threw wild to
first, Spurgeon denting the rubber.
The pitching of Colman was the fea-
ture of the game. He walked seven
men and struck out seventeen. The
local high school boys speak of him
in very glowing terms and as a pow
erful rival to Bob Ftizwilliams.
He only allowed the visitors one hit
and that was given to Capt. Wilkinson.
Ely pitched a good game for Los
Angeles, striking out nine men. Santa
Ana succeeded in getting only six hits.
Twice there were three men on bases
and five times We're Santa Anas men
on third after the second inning, but
the clever work of the local boys shut
them out.
In the fifth inning, Spurgeon was
compelled to retire, owing to MANNED
finger. -"
AS matters now stand. Santa Ana has
won every game played this season.
ten In all. The team will play in Los
Angeles in two weeks. Should Los
Angeles win a return game will be
played.
