day and there was nothing doing
among the Ohio State league base
ballers. Perhaps 1t was just as well
as the athletes were weary from two
gaines on the holiday and long
trip following.
This morning chances were entire
ly against a game being played here
today and II is likely that Marion
and Newark will not get together OH
the local lot before tomorrow, If at
all this trip. 1t Is fortunate indeed
that the magnates last spring de-
cided upon a late start. This sea-
son has so far broken all records for
undesirable weather and there will
have to be a lot of nice warm days
to make up for it. The various
clubs, however, have been fortunate
in one respcct-being able to play all
of their games when big crowds were
on hand. All of the contests post
poned thus far have been on week
days.
Manager Lewis is greatly encourag-
ed over the showing made by the
team on the road. The boys hit bet
ter and ran the bases better than
at any time this season. They have
had lot of hard luck on the local
grounds so far but that is bound to
change and soon the banner of vic
tory will perch more often on the
local bench. Diggers are nicely
placed in the race and are within
easy reach of the top. If it is pos
'sible to attain that place the Diggers
want to do ii at a time when they
are going at their best and able to
stand the pace required OF a leader.
That the locals will reach the top
Is certain, fans think. The same
ANS also believe that once the top
S gained Diggers will show the 9TH
,rs a clean pair of heels. Light hit
ting in many games has caused de-
feat. especially at home. When the
weather gets so that the athletes are
all conditioned and have their lamps
nicely trimmed, then look out for the
Diggers.

THEATERS

Darkness prevails at the Grand
these days, with here and there a
ray of light where the cleaners and
rcnovators are preparing to work a
transformation in the attractive house
interior. EX-Manager Sullivan, presi-
dent of the Opera House company,
Is determined that the coming season
shall begin auspiciously however dis
astrously may be the finish thereof.
In pursuance of which he is adopt
ing every modern method of com
fort, both for the patron and the
professional. The splendid system
begun last summer back stage will
be rushed to completion and the
Grand will be model theater when
the lights are flashed on this COM
ing autumn,
The policy OF the house is not yet
definitely announced. Manager How
ellis lease expires in August and it Is
scarcely probable, in the face of his
losses of the past season, that he will
accept the house next year. There
remains the fond hope that Mr.. Sui
livan will yield to petitions, threats
and cajolings and carry the house Ia
success, but it Is merely hope and
faint one at that. Several prom
ising applicants have manifested
their Willingness to take a chance
and their relative merits win be
taken under advsement at the meet
ing of the directors TO be held some

It is possible that Marion may gain
admittance to the National TheateI
Owners association playing independ-
ant attractions. The recent tidal wave
in the seethlng theatrical sea which
carried several of the most powerful
producers to the Shuberts has made
it possible for the National associa'
tion to offer the biggest line of at
fractions on the American stage. The
