been packed about the trunks of the
trees or spread so thinly that it had

Advices received from Pettengill's
Corner state that the baseball diamond
of that locality was the scene of a
game yesterday afternoon that is des~
tined to find a place in Corner history
of juvenile baseball events. The game
was between the p. c. Juniors and the
Pine Tree Stars and the former team
won out with score of II to IA. Those
who saw it aver that it was a thriller,
and the excitement was so intense that
the atmosphere was disrupted to the
extent that the wireless apparatus
would not work, which necessitated
the captain of the winning team walk
ing clear to the Journal office to bring
the details OF the game. The battery
of the p. c.. Juniors was Ware and
Merrill, and that of the Stars Murphy
and Lynch. The features of the game
were two-base hits by Merrill, C. Shaw
and Purinton. The most important
feature was a bare-h handed catch bv
John Pinkham. The captain of the
Juniors venture the opinion that tho
Stars would have had very little show
against his team had they not had four
players from the Williams team.

ROLLICKING FUN
40
and GOOD music
VIII Be Afforded Theater.Goers ~
Yorke and Adams Next Thurs
day Night at Auditorium.

Those in search of genuine rollock
ing fun should not miss going to see
York and Adams in their latest must
cal comedy success, "In Africa" said
to be based on the hunting trip Of a
well known American gentleman who
is now in that far away land of At
RIGA. This big musical offering comes
to the Auditorium Thursday night.
Yorke and Adams are still under
the management Of B. E. Forester,
who has surrounded his stars this
year with company of fifty people, a
large and beautiful chorus, and added
pony ballet of "Ju-Ju" girls. The
music Of "In Africa" is by Mr. Her
bert Ingraham, the lyrics by Mr.. E.
Ray Goetz, and the book by Aaron
Hoffman. There is more occasion for
real mirth in this new and uptodate
show than any other musical comedy
on the road. The scenery borders on
the spectacular in some respects, but
the interior Of the leading hotel at
Mombasa. and the jungles Of Africa.
to be presented are religiously repro
duced. Yorke and Adams are cast
as two drummers. They are broke
when they reach Mombasa, but arc
taken for the ex-President and his son
in disguise, and during the entire per.
Torrance they get themselves into
trouble, and, in fact, every one else
: but they finally get out of it. They
will offer plenty of funny compiled
lions. These complications are worked
; out in artistic fashion, and, as a result
the entertainment is one chain of en-
joyment and infinite pleasure.
The production is one of the hes
of it's kind on the road. There ar
clever ensembles costuming, catchy
: music, comedy that is clean ant
wholesome. In the second act whic
Is the jungle scene, a number of ar
imals will be impersonated, all
s which are comedy character. Anon
= them, one in particular is the Lilo
n Neara, said to be more clever and ful
nier than Tige, the we'll known dc
