 some people do flats. says that the great melodrama of the future will depict the inevitable conflict between eapi- tai and labor. He says: "I have already conceived melodrama in which great Eastside mob marches to the Metropol- tan opera house during a performances. of grand opera. sets up an electric chair in the center Of the ground floor and be- gins the grim business of electroeuting multi-millionaires" Think of how a hard working press agent could exploit a play like that Think of the mad enthusiasm with which the gallery would applaud the passing of each plutocrat, and the acclaim with which their downfall would be heralded! Just as soon as the multi millionaires get thick enough and the populace gets sore enough MT. Kremer promises us the play. It is hard to wait.

Race and Baseball Team Is
Winning Right Along.

The Reservoir Heights Club has
started the season very successfully,
playing thirteen games. winning eight,
losing three and tying one. The club has
an unusual feature, in that it has two

club should win a majority Of their
games.
The Reservoir Heights club is the
baseball team of the Reservoir Heights
Athletic Association now one of the
largest athletic organizations in Wash

er, has done more to make the asso-
citation a success than any one else and,
besides organizing the club. has done
everything that could be done to give
1he boys of the heights all the athletic
training that they could desire
Arrangements are now being made 10
hold an athletic carnival. and If clubs
will cooperate In this movement the
carnival will be held in the near future
II has also been planned to have a

tended that Stahl got the bail TO third

on Taunehill's long fly.
The decision in Donohue's case pro

the age. Lave Cross was fired from
the game by the umpl This sounds al
most impossible. but il is true-Lave

bet that the decision was much to the
bad.
