"LADY OF THE LAKE"
 IS A SPLENDID PLAY

The photo-play adapted from the dramatized production of Sir Walter scott's beautiful poem, "The Lady of the Lake," as presented at the Or pheum last night, is an entertainment we'll worth repeating. The piece is well-staged, showing the grand scen- ic beauty of the Scottish lakes, the palace and caves of the king, hermits, the mountain fastness of clan bri- gands and the duel of Roderick Dhu with the king of Scotland. The en- tire story is told; not an essential part being left uninterpreted. There was full house to witness the perform ance last night and there should be another god audience to see it tonight.

PLAYS
 JUNEAU AT DOUGLAS

There is some baseball scheduled to be played around Gastineau chan nel next Sunday The second game of the series between the regulars of Juneau and Treadwen will be played on the Douglas grounds. There will un- doubtedly be a banner crowd out to witness the exhibition and the Tread we'll pirates being on their own grounds will make it more than in- teresting for Tom Radonich's talent. If Juneau can stick as close to the winning side at the finale as Tread well did over here last Sunday it will prove positive that they have a star mascot or that Tom has been drilling them bit on team work.
 Tigers vs. Terriers.
 Charley Carter, manager of the c. w. Young Tigers. has finally wheed' led Lawrence Reedy, advance agent of the Gastineau Terriers. into giving them a return game which is to be played on the Juneau grounds next Sunday. The Tigers got such an aw- full drubbing the other time they played that most people might think another game between the two aggre- cations would be uninteresting. But, baseball is full of surprises. The Mayor of Juneau can't afford to be manager of defeated and discredited baseball team. MT. Carter is dead set on retrieving the standing he likes to contemplate as a winner. For this reason that nicely worded acknowl- edgement of defeat has touched the finty heart of Reedy and the return game is forthcoming look out for the fireworks. It is said that the C.. w. Young outfit has new litter of kittens-plenty of young Tigers to beat anything in the trade line around town.
 Mir. Reedy must have smelled a mouse, because the other day he side stepped the invitation to play, saying that it would not be right to take the people away from the Juneau Treadwell game at Douglas by coun- ter attraction. Later and after watch ing the exhibition game between the regulars he said that the Gastineau aggregation would like to play the Juneau High School team but wasn't sure they could arrange it.
 What PhyIo Says.
 Phylo Cleveland says that he got "bunked" out of some of the best timber for the Mechanics team, but that he has not given up the notion of getting a winning aggregation in the field. All he wants is a little more time and he will have some ball tossers than can make the miners and merchants look like red cross nurses.
 With the Cubs.
 Meanwhile a great deal of interest is being taken with the young blood on both sides of the channel. The Douglas Cubs and the Juneau Cubs played an exciting game on the Ju, neau grounds last Sunday and the Capital City Cubs put a crimp in the youngsters from across the channel but it will be all nicely smoothed out, so the Douglas Cubs say when they steam-roiller them at the next meet
