ter seeing how easy things were
around that. portion of the playing
lot sent an easy one in Jamie's di-
rection and the child promptly let it
travel along. That scored the
winning run and the game was over.
Sammy Scay pitched the kind Of
ball that makes your eyes dim. He
had everything and still did not
exert himself except in one or two
instances. In fact in only one inn

working. In the ninth Gould, first

Sammy gathered himself together
and then settled down to give the

seen hereabouts. The next man he
made pop up a little sicl1y foul to
McCarty, the following one he in
duced to poke slow one to Ridgely
who promptly retired him and the
last man he struck out and the crowd
granted him an ovation that showed
their real approval for his feat. In

musicians playing on most every
kind of musical instrument known.

part of training on the part of the
Gentry Bros. and shows that they
are foremost in the ranks of animal
trainers in this country.
They are not only musicians,
but assume the roles of walters.
comedians and perform a number of
sensational feats that seem almost
impossible. Gentry Bros. are said
to have the best troupe OF perform
ing elephants with any circus now
on the road, for the acts presented
by these sagaeious performers are
nothing short of marvellous.
Two performances will be given
by the Gentry Bros Shows which
are now positively twice larger than
ever before, Friday, June 20, at
2:15 in the afternoon and at 500
