CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
"MISS HoRRsp

miss Hobbs which the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, will present next week, is
not only written to make people laugh,
but it carries with it a certain logical
| mirth that furnishes food for thought, and
at the same time unveils several pretty
love episodes. 1t has fulfilled its mission
in years gone by, and will for years to
come continue to chase gloom and make
smiles grow where only a crouch or smirk
dwelt before seeing the play.
"Miss Hobbs" is young and pretty
girl who, because of her early training
and the misfortunes of her aunt, has the
idea that woman is far more superior to
man than she really is, and also nurses an
antipathy, the contagion of which causes
trouble in the household of Perciva1 King
earl, and also induces Millicent Farey and
George Jessop to break off their engage
ment.
The three girls decide to 1iue in a cot
tage and enjoy an existence according to
their Interpretation of ''woman's rights, !"
while on the other hand, Percival Kings
earl and George Jessop join forces in their
misery and make plans for a campaign
that will put this unknown but much de-
tested Miss Hobbs to rout. Then occur
many funny incidents and complications
in which are connected, wife and sweet
heart who think they have been wrouged,
but after many good hearty laugh and
several good morals have been passed
over the footlights, WHEY repents, ac-
knowledges her foolishness; Miss Farey
finds that George is the only real stimuli
ant for aching heart, and Miss Hobbs and
Wolff find that Dan Cupid has played a
trick with them. Thus the comedy comes
to happy end.

! When the news Of Mount Holly's defeat
was telephoned tc Medford, there was an
exclamation Of joy at the other end of the
line. 1t was justified. for it put the glass
blowers tie for first place.
One Of the players was told, after the
game. that 1t was supposed the team had
Riverside defeated 1t. The reply was,
well, we've had relapse"
Miller, the new centre fielder, had one
hit. two put outs, and an excusable error.
The latter had to be charged to him, but
1t was caused by the right-felder running
into him just as the ball touched his hands,
At special meeting Of the executive
committee of the Burlington County
League, held at Burlington Thursday
night, the protest against the game between
the club of that city and Florence, PLAYED
July 10, was decided by awarding the
game to Florence.
While the people who go to base ball
games want to see good playing they also
want to witness umpiring that has some
degree Of intelligence. That Is p,oEs ssilan
has been seen In the last two games in
which Petit off1ciated. His work at Med
ford and Mount Holly was decidedly poor
and he is not fitted for the position. He
should be retired.
Rowdyism on ball field is not thing
to delight in, but when you see the raw
deals handed out by an umpire, like those
by Petit, 1t is no wonder the players are
unable to control their feelings. The
complaint against this fellow is not the
result of defeat, for his decisions were
just as rank at Medford when Mount Holly
won. Medford and Beverly were as Sc
we're as Mount Holly In their criticisms.

Political Notes

The meetings of the CIVIL Service Com
mission to examine candidates for APP
pointment of election officers were very
slimly attended. The fact has led the
Commission to fix another date to give a
chance to those who did not appear.
From present appearances Judge Hor-
ner will have some work on hand when he
returns from his vacation. Candidates for
appointment as election officers have
come to the conclusion they would rather
take chances with the court than to take
the CIVIL Service examination.
The political procliyities Of candidates
should be looked into quite closely. This
gives rise to thequestion, What constitutes
Republican, Is man who has been a
Republican, off and on 'and who voted for
Wilson for Governor one who is entitled
to be considered at Republican primary
A gentleman who has been very active
on the Republican side of the house for
some time and who has assumed the role
of dictator, is said to have announced
himself opposed to Assemblyman White
In the coming contest. The reason as
signed for this course is that white did
not fulfill certain promises" which being
properly interpreted means that Assem-
blyman White refused to take orders.

usual hit, and was credited with two
stolen bases.
Ballingall was In the game. Two hits,
one stolen base, three out and three assists.
Pretty good record.
Woodington made four of the five hits

Florence will be here on Saturday. The

Each pitcher struck out six men. Silcox
sent five men down on passes, and Accord
gave life to four. Mount Holly got ten
hits; Beverly five.
Petit was off in his decisions on balls

M. r. SUNDAY School Picnic.


The Methodist Sunday School held their
annual picnic on Thursday, In the old
camp meeting woods at Vincentown.
Leaving the church at $50 o'clock they
reached the woods in ample time and had
an opportunity to view the scenery and
get acquainted with the place before it
was time to prepare dinner.
1t was delightful day and all present
had an enjoyable time. The picnic was
the largest that has been held for several
years, 1t taking large number of wagons
and several automobiles to convey the
scholars and friends to the picnic woods.
The game of base ball in the afternoon
between the married men and single men
was an interesting contest. Some of the
players on the former team that had not
played ball for twenty-five years distin-
guished themselves and showed that they
had not forgotten how to play, and they
surprised the boys when the game started,
as they thought that they would have It
easy. The battery for the single men ap.
peared to be somewhat ratified, especially
the catcher, who had difficulty In holding
the balls thrown, and the pitcher couldn't
seem to locate the plate or the catcher, as
he was rather short. The second baseman
for the married men seemed TO have
great deal of trouble. While covering that
base runner slid under him. aud the re-
suit was they both fell in a heap together,
and while at bat on two different occasions
he was hit In the same spot each time by
pitched balls. As the game proceeded the
married men kept increasing their lead.
In the seventh inning the score stood to
2 In their favor Seeing that the boys
were very much discouraged, especially
the battery, the married men, who we're
very nearly tired out, decided tc slow up
their pace and let the boys win. The
score was tied in the eighth inning and
they secured the winning run 10 the ninth
inning. The final score was to Z lin favor
Of the single men. which was delight to
them.
