forfeited TO the Orphans club within
the past few weeks. This gives that
club a large lead and MAKES the pen
nant race almost a hopeless one.
The captain OF the Tally Wag team
threatens to withdraw his team from
the race unless the games purposelv
forfeited by the Cubs are thrown
out, This would result IN the ShilZ-
ers withdrawing and consequently
the abandoning of the league.
Last night the Cubs failed to show
up and the Orphans carried away
three straights by forfeit. Nearru
every team IN the LEAGUE has been
aNarled games by ruwelt with the
exceptions of the Tally Wags When
HE Cubs have series with tho
Ways, they are all present and put
forth their very best efforts to win.
The Wags have always had a team
present to bowl the schedule and
more faithful team has never ex-
listed in the Association league.
Secretary Oatey will probably take
the matter in hands and make an
effort to iron out the Cubs and re-
store the league to its former state

What Is Billed For Early
Dates On Local Stage.

Its the superlatlye degree OF a per-
feotIy good show, the new bill at the
Family theatre. First there is Charles
Stowe, impersonator of Shakespeare,
and equally first there is Harry
Moore and Miss Eva Rockwell Both
adts hit the hlgh-water mark of
clever vaudevill performance, the
real headliners balng all matter
of individual taste.
Voice and high grade costuming
are the two salient points in Nj,
Stoves delineations. The former is
evident in his "Brutus," a selec-
tion Well calculated to display its
splendid resonance 10 the utmost
His Richard IUI was equally effec-
tive. There Is absolutely no excuse
for the high-brows staying away
from what they are pleased to call
TOO light amusement (vaudeville)

For those to whom the greatest
OF plhywrigihts is trifle heavy,
Moore and Rockwell are the real
entertainers. Mr.. Moore is the pos.
SCISSOR of voice OF exquisite quality
and volume. His "Gee / Wish had

evening. In "Sunbonnet Sue"--well

Unbound feet is only one feature OF
their progress. They have been taught
the nature and necessity Of a bath,
for I'm that part Of China a bath is an
unknown luxury. Their lessons on
hygiene have emphasized the value
Of cleanliness. The only bathroom
which the Efne Sears School boasts
IS in a shed containing the bathtubs.
Hot water Is scarce and the girls must
use It sparingly. one Saturday the
girls were indignant because two OF

The Press Agent Says

Ihe best Of all American plays
dealing with graGt-fnancial, political
and social, "The Lion and the
Mouse" is coming TO the Grand Fri
day, February 8. Since the re-
markable work of Charles Klein
was first seen here many things have
occurred which make the return OF
the drama matter of physchological
interest in view of the numerous
cases against the trust and captain
OF industry which are now before the
courts. Five years ago "The Lion
and the Mouse" woald have been a
failure for the simple reason that
the public did not ask, "Where did
he get it?" but rather, How much

It being served plain twice a day, and

In appreciation OF the aid given
them by the Missouri women the
girls of the school embroidered a big
banner and sent 1t to Miss Eleanor
Marc of st. Louis, who Is the corre-

banner came a letter saying tho
