JOLLY NAT GOODWIN WILL
DISP0RT AS YE UMPIRE
BALL GAME AND BIG DoINGs FOR
90 ACTORS FUND
Thesplans from Local Stock Houses
Will Do Battle on Del Rey
Diamond for Sweet
Charity

If you residents of the seashore ada
cent to Del Rey hear sound as of rag
ing animals and pandemonium turned
loose next Wednesday afternoon, don't
be frightened or think It's the world
coming to an end, for the chances are
it will only be the fans mobbing the UNI
pire in the ball game to be played on
the Del Rey grounds by the local actor
folk in the interest of the actors fund.
1t will be a rafting game. from all ac-
counts, with a full corps Of trained
nurses, surgeons and ambulances on hand
to serve the killed and disabled, and
Nat Goodwin, armed to the teeth and sur
rounded with the usual steel cage bar
ricades affected by the professionals in
like situations, will act as umpire.
The lineup for the battle, while not
definitely announced, will probably be
about as follows:
Grand Opera House. Burbank and Belasco
Caukins, p. Desmond, p.
De Grasse, h. Glazier,
Wheeler 2b. Lowell. Id.
Winters, 3b. Mestayer, 2b
Frayne, SIS. Murphy, 3b.
Gardner. IT, Wilma, SIS.
HILL rife Rutedge, II.
Gum, CT. Stone, CT.
Brown, c-rf. Beasley, IF.
Ali positions subject to change without
notice.
The Grand opera house bunch has been
in training for some time, and De Grasse
anticipates an easy victory for his team.
His workers are rejoicing muchly over
the fact that Daddy Hill, having lost
thirty-seven pounds, once more considers
himself in fighting trim, and will enter
the arena with the others.
Miss Stoddard of the Belasco forces
will head the ladies auxiliary, and, in
common with the Misses Hall, Barker,
Gilbert, Esmond, Harrington Selwyn ct
AL, is very busily engaged in preparing
her uniform with the appropriate Red
Cross, for the occasion.
Arrangements have been completed un-
der which a certain percentage on the
tickets sold to Del Rey by the Los An
geles-Pacific company Wednesday next
will go to the actors fund, and an admis-
sion of % cents will be charged to the
grand stand for the game, all of which
will go to the fund.
A large turnout is expected, and as Ar
thur Rutledge says, Everybody will get
$3.50 worth of fun for two bits" so the
fund should be materially assisted by
the efforts of the players.

WHAT WRITER'S WORK For

No great writer has every consciously
striven for deathless fame. Such a
writer is wholly absorbed in his work.
Any vague desire --e may have hitherto
nourished is displaced by distinct vision
of beauty and truth which eclipses every
Interior object demanding only and i'm
peratively its own embodiment. Like
Horace, he must be able to say exegi
onnnis moriarl
The prosperity of writers with readers
of their own generation is no security for
their hold upon posterity. In present con-
ditions it would almost seem that the
near regard is won at the expense of the
future 1t may be that hereafter each
new generation must. because of its new
and more exigent demands. have ard
