sons health is not the best in the world
this year.
Smith and Newton made brilliant
double yesterday = Snith-Newton- Smith.
And they figured in another, though 1t
was commonplace And there might have
been third, but Fisher stuck his finger
in the pie, spoiled the play, and let Yam
cey race to first with a hit.
What about that Brooklyn bunch? They
walloped Pittsburg twice in the same
place, and then lose the third in IA in
nings. And Cincinnati again defeated New
York.
1t is probable that BARLEY will work
for Atlanta this afternoon. and that either
Robinson or Fleharty will mount the hill
in the interest of the Barons.

VAUDEVILLE AT
 THE THEATORIUM

This city has had polite vaudo- vile. refined vaudeville, up-to-date and all other kinds Of vaudeville, but for the real. simon-pure article the bill advertised by the Theatorium for the coning week should prove to be the goods.
 Manager Haney. when he cancelled the last team he had at his house declared that if he could not offer the best he would absolutely close his vaudeville performance. and We com mended him for this step.
 The program that Manager Haney offers for next week recommends it. self to the public. Hanlon and Walsh are as clever as ever played the big circuits, which they have just finished. Their turn is superior to the general mixed team work.
 Albert Kirkland---- we'll, one can not describe his act. It is medley a hash of humor and dancing, of gro tesu,.e funmaking that must be seen to be appreciated. 1t is conceded that the bass voice possessed by Eugene Curtis has few equals ill the state of Arkansas and music lovers admit that to hear MT. Curtis render two of his selections is we'll worth price charged by the Theatorium management for the en- tire performance.
 Adding to the list the well-knoWn orchestra of this popular playhouse and two thousand feet of latest mo- tion picture plays, we are assured of an entertainment that would be hard to beat in the country at the price charged.
