THE RED DEMON
Little Stories About Baseball
BY w. A. PheEon

red deVil-a flaming crimson blazing
specter. 1t was much taller than an
ordinary man; its head and face were
hidden in the clouds Of steam that
flOated through the clubhouse, but its
eyes gIared through the mist in dire,
malicious manner The body Of the
fearful -fiend gIOWed like a new picked
cherry, famed like a furnace in a
foundry. Onward and still onward Il
came. and the ballplayers, dazed and
half stunned, stared at it in helpless
horror. Still nearer it came, and then
the tension broke With a frightfui
chorus of bowls and screams, the
naked athletes, 40 strong, went tum-
bling and staggering through the doors
and out upon the lawn
And the scarlet demon. hating in a
puzzled way, remarked that he couldn Z
understand the joke Lot Of blamed
fools. I'm thinking" said the demon
Trying to kid somebody. maybe-but
they can't kid me. All I want right
now is two things; a bath TO get this
red off, and a chance TO get one poke
at the guy that sold me the red under
wouldn't run; ] wear it just one game,
and I'm one lump Of crimson Ne for
that guys bean as soon as get Outa
herer'
And Harry Gaspar, the Cincinnati
pitcher, plunged into a tub, intent upon
a vigorous scrubbing. The mystery OF
the Red Demon was explained
All of which didn't prevent a rich
scandal round that ballyard- and a re-
port in the morning papers that 40
bauplayers had gone temporarily IN
sane from the excessive heat OF the
tcrrid afternoon

~ ARKNESS was drifting down up
on the field at St Louis, and the
players of the Cincinnati and St
Louis clubs. socially intermixed, were
flocking to the clubhouse. 1t had
been a broiling, scorching day; the
men were almost fried alive, and the
way they hurled themselves upon the
bath accommodations was enough TO
remind the behOlder Of a flock OF
seals spIattering into the ocean some
of them ducked under the cold sprays;
some Of them sought the chilly faucets
for cooling tubs and several anxious
to remove the dust Of battle, turned on
the hot pipes with the laudaDle idea
of cleanliness first and GOODNESS after
ward
Forty athletes were scattering and
sldrmishing through the dressing
rooms, when a fearful shrek was
heard. The warriors, startled and be-
Wildered, halted in their abIutlons-
Again the shrek rang out, and then
through the aisles between the baths
rushed EsmOnd, of the Reds, and Hau-
ser. of St Louis. Their hair stood up
like porcupine quilts; their strong
young faces were blanched 4 sickly
white, and as they ran they shrlekeo
and gibbered.

BREED THEATER
The Man Hunt, Tsxo- Reel Pathe Stor'
 of the illr-ai Hunter

The patrons of the Breed were given one of the treats of the season yes teTtley in the superb Pathe story en- titled The Man Hunt. This is a very strong story of the actions of an ille- gal hunter whose many disguises en- able him to escape the detection of the wardens who are hot upon his trail. His rendezvous Is in the depths of the forest, where he is concealed by the pretty daughter of an old widow. She believes he loves her,when in reality he Is in love with the daughter of neighboring farmer In his frenzy of trying to escape he seeks shelter in the farmers house, where he Is followed by the sweetheart of the forest. She comes to warn him and the waiting officers outside fire upon the first person leaving the house, which happens to be the little daughter of the widow of the forest. It Is then that the culprit learns where the true affection lies, and as he bends over the prostrate form tears course down his cheeks for the first time of his life.
 Tom Moore and Alice Joyce are CO., 6tArs in the powerful drama entitled A Battle of Wits, which is a motion picture gem and deals with life in the hills of the south. As usual, both these clever people charm the house esy their very natural acting and pleasing personality.
 There is some fine comedy supplied by the story The Three Bachelors Turkey, which is whiriwind of screaming incidents, keeping the house in roars of laughter.
 Fire depaI tment pictures are de- Ierred for a few days. but will be shown soon, notice being given in the daily papers.

CITY LIGHTS.

Across the miles see the heavens glow With golden light unnung until the beams Of stars seem dimmed; 50 might the lofty gleams Of Vulcan's forges on loves portico Have poured their flood of flame. and far below In valleys, peasants might have watched the streams Of splendor glld the mountains high extremes, Drip down the wales. and up the night steeps flow. But where those great lights glow mere mortals dwell, Frail human hearts whose years are swift and few, Mocked by the stars. a puny earthly breed; Yet as watch life change beneath their spell, See wonders wrought the anclents never knew, I know they some day shall be gods indeed!
