In his sermon DR.. Hill quoted the

No hero, past or present, ever re
ceived a heartier welcome than that
accorded Hughie jennings, manages
of the Detroit Tigers, when he stepped
forward to address the newsboys III
the association hall, Sunday evening
The scene recalled Bennett park on
opening day. and the 400 newsies pres
ent yelled "Wee-ah" until they were
hoarse. But order was promptly re.
stored when Hughie raised his hand
and said. PLAY ball.
Jennings talk made big hit with
the boys, couched as il was for the
most part In base ball vernacular.
"You are the boys who make the
game of life worth playing" he said
when you are called on, pick your
bat carefully and then face the pitch
er with the mental resolve that you're
going TO make hit. II you find II
easy to reach first. don't think it's
going to be so easy to get to second
Watch the ball every minute and don't
take chances when you know you car

Sometimes they catch you at the home
plate, but don't let them do 1t sec

In the game and go to bat like the
rest. And never think the game Is

The majority of patrons OF the Tenn

lie that they pay less for their seats
at that theater THAI the patrons or
first-c!ass vaudeville in any city the
size OF Detroit In America. In Buffalo
the charge for orchestra seats at
Shea's theatcr Is rs cents for evening
performances: In Pittsburg the prices
on the lower floor are s1.00 and 10
cents and In New York every first
class vaudeville theater charges 81
for the same seats the Temple sells
for 80 cents. Strong pressure has
been brought to bear on Manager
Moore 10 raise the price OF the seats
! in the Temple. even some OF the regu.
lar patrons have made this request.
but Mr.. Moore has steadily refused
and be has no idea of changing the
policy regarding prices that has been
maintained ever since the theater
opened. In regard 10 the quality oil
/ acts presented at the Temple theater
every fair minded person will admit
that no better vaudeville shows can
/ be found from week to week In this
or any country. Some criticisms has
been INDUCED In because the man
agement failed TO present the Salome
dance, the Snake dance. the Apache
dance, and other features that New
York vaudeville audiences enjoy. In
answer 10 this IL is stated that Man
ager Moore will not present anythins
at the Temple theater that will give
offense to the most sensitive person;
that women and children have been
I the mainstay OF the theater since its
establishment. and that this class OF
patrons will have the preference.

These changes were not sudden
