was an interesting and we'll played
game throughout and attracted fair
sized crowd of spectators.-Ridgway
Record.
The base ball game Saturday after
noon between Remove and Emporium
was largely attended but was very
listless. The score was 5 to 2. Ray
mond Friel pitched the last few in
nings and held the visitors to no hits.
Remove Cor. to Lock Haven Express.
How different the above notices
sound. 1t will be seen that the article
from Remove failed to say who won
the game. The result of which no
doubt made it listless from a Remove
point of view.

Quincy Adams Sawyer" Repeat
ing its Success.

ing it's Success.
The phenomenal success of the book
play, "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is re
peating itself again this season when
crowded houses greet its every ap-
pearance. This popularity is attributed
to the preceding fame of the book that
extended from ocean to ocean, and
that the play is in itself the most
genuine piece of rural life ever given
to lover of bucolic drama.
The simple pure charm of the book
is distinctly preserved in the play.
The characters are drawn SO close to
life that it requires an effort to be con-
vinced that they are not real. They
are just such types as are found in
every New England village and port
rayed by actors who are in perfect
sympathy with their roles. In fact, it
is case of human nature appealing to
human nature.
Another thing that people evidently
appreciate is not having their pleasure
of the artistic simpleness of the play
marred by mawkish scenes and sloshy
incidents. The amusing scenes-and
those are what the play is made up of
mainly-contain just wholesome, good
nature, compelling laugh after laugh,
and the sentimental parts consist of
that kind of refined pathos that plays
upon the heart strings with no dis.
cordant note.
The company representing this
beautiful play carries with it all the
equipments including four large sets
of scenery, built especially for the pro-
duction, all the lightning effects and
all the properties. Theatre goers are
looking forward to the treat in store
for them when the play comes to the
Emporium Opera House in the near
future.

BASEBALL A GREAT

When if comes to advertising them
selves, some OF the smaller cities IN
the West and Middle West have a
knack OF hustIing that might well be
studied by washington, Baltimore, and
other Eastern cities which are fighting
for the Southern trade. Hannibal, No,
is ambitious for trade and baseball
fame. and the boosters Of That city
are sending 10 hundreds OF newspapers
the following notice:
The Central Baseball Association
closed the season OF 1909 here, when
Hannibal flushed close second for
the pernsnt Sad turned the year with
IC1I7 paid EMISSIONS. This is a record

Her hopes for the rag did not go
glimmering until the last day Of the
race, when Burlington winning one
game out of a double header with
Quincy. cinChed the coveted rag It is
said that not another city this size in
the United States showed SUCH IN at

season Hannibal took first place and

held first and second place nearly all

DAYS two or three times. Once for only
twenty-four hours she was in fourth
