New Comedy at the Grand.

Last night the Grand theatre was
packed to the doors. and standing
room was at a premium, to see the
Vim Moore Stock company in their
new comedy, "What Happened to
Smith" This proved to be the best
comedy yet presented. and the ap-
plause and laughs that greeted every
funny situation, certainly proved that
people like good comedies. we'll pre-
sented. The plot of the play is good,
and every member was well cast. Mr..
Moore appeared as a young man about
town, who takes advantage of his
wife's absence to go out and paint
the town several colors. and in so do
ing he gets into serious trouble, and
K takes all his talent for lying to get
him out of his scrape. Mr.. Moore
showed that he was Just as much at
home in light comedy as he is in
eccentric stuff. Mr.. Bates as the
friend, and Miss Murdoch as his wife,
gave a good account of themselves,
and the whole company was seen to
good advantage. There are new pic
lures. and the music between the
acts by the Vim Moore orchestra Is
always a feature. Same bill tonight.
Pictures start are 7:45 and the play
commences at 500.

very anxious to see him take the To-

conduct the branch hospital with

Mr.. Kay's Views.
The Salem correspondent of the
Portland Journal has the following
interview with State Treasurer Kay:
Members of the state board ridi-
cule the assertions that the letter of
DIR. M. X. Hall of La Grande criticis-
ing the eastern oregon insane asylum
will raise the old factional fight over
the institution and impair its future
usefulness by creating hostility among
the legislators. They also say that
assertions that the removal of 800 or
400 patients from the Salem asylum
will so materially increase the per
capita cost of maintenance as to af-
feet appropriations for maintenance,
are not well founded.
1.-The asylum here is much over
crowded at present" said State Treas
urer Kay. There are 1900 patients
when the normal capacity of the in
stitution is 1900 patients. Two and
three beds are crowded into small
rooms and beds are placed in halls
and alcoves in order to accommodate
patients. This condition is due to the
fact that no enlargements have been
made here in the last two years, be-
cause we intend to send about 800
patients from here to eastern Ore
gon as soon as the new asylum Is
ready After these are taken away,
within another year the increase Will
bring the number of patients here
up to the capacity of the institution.
Expenses May Be High.
UT is true the cost of maintenance
at the Pendleton asylum at first will
be higher than the cost here, but
there need be no occasion for faction
al fighting in the legislature over
the institution. The state has to care
for its insane, and the cost of main
tenance there will be partly offset by
the transportation cost which we have
had to pay in the past in bringing
patients from that part of the state
to Salem With fine buildings erect
ed there that is going to be a big
institution and | think eastern Oregon
will unite in support of it.
81 have always found the people OF
Pendleton loyal to the institution, and
I think there is no doubt that they
will furnish it with good water and
will do all other things reasonable and
necessary to bring it to the highest
efficiency.

Birmingham has scored more runs than
any other club in the Southern league,
and subsequently has a better percentage.
The Barons have crossed the rubber S66
times, while their opponents have been
able to score but POI. The Barons have
played better ball on the road, having
scored 1876 runs and allowed but 13l, while
at Redwood but III tallies have been re-
corded, against their opponents 16o. These
figures do not include the games of yes
terday.
Next to the Barons in run scoring are
the Lookouts. with S02 tallies. Mem
phis follows with 296, while the Gulls have
tailed 2SS times. A peculiar fact is that
the clubs in the Southern league have
scored more games on the road than they
have been able to make at home with the
crowds cheering them to victory.
Chattanooga has scored a. total of $50
runs, while 2S9 base runners have scored
against them OF this number. 165 runs
were scored at home and lag on the road.

WHERE IS BARON STRENGTH?
THIS THE FANS ARGUMENT
ny HUGH w. ROBERTS

An interesting subject for street corner
discussion is this:
ITO what is due the fact that the
Barons are not only at the top of the
Southern league standing, but are apt to
remain there even unto the .end?'
1t is probable that every fan will give
a different reason Some will ascribe
the position of the team to the excellence
of the pitching. Others will hold the
opinion that the hitting of the club is re-
sponsble. Others will argue that fielding
has turned the trick. Others still will ad-
NIT the belief that base running is re-
sponsble.
In this connection ii is interesting to
note that our pitchers have not done as
ing, we are in the second division. In
hitting we are beaten by Montgomery
and while we lead in the art of base run
ming, we have but one man who has stolen
more bases than the average player of the
league.
Our position. we do not intend to init
mate. is due to luck. Contrary to the
opinion of many others, we do not believe
that luck ever won pennant. We hold
that luck follows the team which is the
widest awake, and as a result of its
alertness plays the better ball.
1t is not our purpose to attempt to
solve the riddle. If we could, we wouldn't.
There is too much fun in gossiping. But
We do not mind stating that in spite
of all our good points, our ability to
hit the ball, to run the bases, to strike
QUE opposing batsmen and to head off
near bingles and toss runners out at first,
