and the cheering at times was almost
dcafening. This is the first game that
the All Stars have played in the City
League, and they showed up very
Well. The Pcttingill Corner team was
somewhat weakened by the lose of
Macdonald and Cooper, two of their
best men. but Notwithstanding this
they put up a scrappy game.
The All Stars started off in the
lead, and kept it through the first half
al the game, but in the first part Of
the second half they were headed by
their opponents by II small margin.
The lead which the Pettingill Corner
boys got ON the All Stars did not
daunt them in the least, and they had

minutes To play, the score stood tic.

Fshot the ball into the basket, making
the score 3 to II in favor Of the All
Stars, The goal from the foul had
just been made, when the whistle WAS
blown and the game stopped.
The passing of the All Star team
was perfect. and il showed that the
boys have been improving greatly By
practice. since the last game Among
the men who need special mention on
the All Stars are Captain Thompson
and Brown, who both played fine
games
The star for the Pettingill Corner
team was Captain Appleton, who did

"The Fortune Hunter.n

IN "The Fortune Hunter" Ninchell
Smith has produced Il new American
comedy that is off the usual hack
neyod line of rural dramas and filed
with human interest that never flags
for Il moment during its nearly three
hours of presentation. Anyone who
witnessed the play, Monday evening, at
the Opera house can readily under
stand why 1t ran into its second year
at the Gaiety theater in New York.
The play opens with the proposal by
Henry Kellogg, rich New York bus
mess man, of a scheme to his friend.
Nat Duncan, who is discouraged by
repeated failures and unwilling long
er to live on his friends bounty,
whereby he is to marry some small
country town heiress with a fortune.
The remainder of the action of the
play is. laid in the town of RadvIe,
Pa, where Nat works out kellogg $
theory of the attraetiveness of the
city man for the country girl. Mean
while Nat, in helping a country drug
sst, no is dreamy investor, to make
a financial success of his store. falls
in love with the druggists daughter
and finally decides to throw up his
chum's scheme and break off his en-
gagement with the rich country bank
er's daughter.
The company handling the play
which is said to be the original COM
pany producing it, is admirably bal
anced, even the minor parts being taxi
en- in 50 natural a manner that the
entire performance seemed more like
a piece of real country life than play
acting.

Duncan, the fortune hunter, gave fin,
