TAKE IN The
BASEBALL GAME
THIS EVENING
SEE THE HOME TEAM BEAT THE
VISITORS WITH A SCORE
OF FIVE TO FOUR

Two men out, the bases full, the
score tied and two strikes on the
man at the bat Did you ever wit
ness a situation like this and have
all your money on the home team,
without even carfare left in your
jeans?
Just drop down to the Butler to-
night and witness the production of
a ball game as shown by the NOV
ing pictures. The scene is true to
life and not only are the actions of
the players portrayed on the can
vas, but the grand stand and bleach
ers are shown with the occupants
INDUCING in some good old fash
toned roofing. In fact the rooters
are the best part of the show.
In the grand stand can be seen
the fellow with his best girl, who
accompanied the visiting team. The
pair are surrounded by the home
fans and several times scrap is
narrowly averted. The old man OF
the town, who has not missed a
game for 20 years, is there with
glory and he is making noise enough
to wake the dead (of course the
noise doesn't show in the picture)
The kids in the bleachers are
having the time of their lives. And
the names they are calling the poor
pitcher of the opposing team. 1t is
probable that the umpire is coming
in for his share of the roasting. a
little colored fellow on the end also
lets loose a few gestures.
That the decisions of the umpire
are protested is shown several times
when the players are put out. Eacf
decision is followed with a squabblt
but the protest ends with the MAI
with the indicator having his owl
way.
A critical part of the game, one
which brings the grand stand to it
feet, is when a batter hunts. HI
makes a slide for first but the bal
is there before him.
The film is one of the most up
to-date yet shown and is one tina
will appeal to every local fan.
