PLAY BY HIGHS
Side-Splitting English Com
edy "The Private Secre-
tary." Theatre April 3.

On next Thursday night one of
the best plays ever presented by
the pupils of the Grangeville High
School will be staged at the Opera
House. The rehearsals have now
proceeded far enough to predict
with certainty the quality of the
acting which will be done. Ev-
cry character will be played re-
markably well for high school stu.
dents. The play abounds in so
many ludicrous situations that
there is no opportunity for the
plot to drag, nor for the audience
to grow weary, despite the fact
that the play is nearly three hours
in length.
The play, "The Private Secre-
tary, " is an English comedy.
Douglas Cattermole, a young Eng.
llsh gentleman of rather quiet hab-
Its has run up few debts, and
his uncle, Mr.. Cattermole, dislik.
ing the quiet kind of young men,
refuses to help him until he has
sown his wild OATS. Thereupon
at the solicitation of his friend.
Harry, Douglas impersonates Mr..
Spaulding, the newly employed
private secretary of Harry's un-
Gle, Mr.. Marsland. The private
secretary is on his way to assume
his new duties when he is inter-
cepted by Douglas and Harry,
the former assuming the character
OF the real private secretary. To-
gether, they go on to the country
seat of Harry's uncle. Both young
men are having a good time when
their way is made difficult by
the arrival Of Gibson, fake Eng
lish nobleman, who tries to collect
a bill which the young men wish to
keep from the knowledge of
Marsland.
Further complications arise
through the appearance of the
real private secretary. Douglas
and Harry's predicament leads to
many comical situations. Further
comedy is occasioned by the gruff
old uncle of Douglass who mistak-
es the real secretary, Spalding,
for his own nephew. The old maid
the chaperone of the girls, Edith
and Eva, furnish much amusement
through her spiritualistic craze.
The girls are quickly made love
to by Douglas and Harry, the play
closing with the usual happy end
ing of courtships.

JUDGE KAVANAUGH PUT
IN CLASS WITH BOSSES

LITTLE ROCK. ARK. Jan. IS
Jackson of Randolph created a stir in
the house by presenting a resolution
condemning the candidacy Of Judge w.
NJ. kavanaugh, of Little Rock, for the
short term in the United States senate
The resolution denounced Judge Kava-
naugh on account of his connection
with the traction company, and de-
clared him to be as much a represen-
tative of the special interests and boss
rule as Ryan Belmont or Murphy.
The resolution took the Kavanaugh
men by surprise. and il was read three
times by the clerk before ii was gener-
ally understood. Sam Rorex, of Yell
then moved that consideration of the
resolution he postponed for fifteen days
This motion prevailed by a vote Of 60
to 20. and the resolution can not be pre-

Talk of Allowing Baseball on
Sunday Stirs Atlanta Fans;

citizens believe that it is harmful
to public morals.
But suddenly the ministers called
off their fight
Why?
They found that they were get
ting their warmest support from
the saloon keepers, who ran wide
open on Sunday, as we'll as every
other day and every night as Well
When this became apparent, they
stopped and paused.
IF the saloon Keepers are against
Sunday ball, is 1t reasonable that it
is bad thing and that we are
against it, too?" they began to ask
each other.
They never made any public
announcement that they had called
it off. But you will notice that there
hasn't been any interference with
Sunday ball there from that day to
this.
IT HE Atlanta ball park, situated
as it is. remote from churches,
the business section and the resi-
dence section. is so placed that the
playing of games there should be no
annoyance to people who are likely
to be disturbed by Sunday games.
That crowds by the thousands
would flock out to see Sunday
games anybody will admit Games
on this day would open the park to
many who, because of the nature
Of their work, can not hope to at
tend on any other day. That they
would be orderly crowds is certain,
for Atlanta has no other kinds and
will not tolerate them under any
circumstances.
THAT Sunday ball would be re-
garded as a great boon by the
amateurs can be safely predicted.
The letting down of the bars would
mean that there would be games on
Sunday at every park in Atlanta,
With the police protection that
Chief Beavers offers. they could be
conducted in an orderly manner.
But will Atlanta have Sunday
ball?
All, that's another question. With
a liberal administration, the thing
is possibility. There will be lot
of talk, you can bet before the
question is decided either way

Two Atlanta Companies VIII Go

kLTHE Fifth regiment unfor-

tunately failed in it's eff
fort to raise enough
money with it's military tourna-
ment to pay its expenses to Wash
ington," said prominent member
of the local militia today, but I'll
bet my salary for a month that the
Atlanta Grays and the Capital City
Guards don't fail with their boxing
shows-not with Knockout Brown
and Jake Abel on in the main
bout.
And not with Battling Nelson
coming along afterward to meet
the winner!"
The blow to the hopes Of the
Fifth when the military tourna-
ment failed to earn a large sum
was a sumner. Apparently all
hope that the regiment will be able
to make the journey to Washington
is gone. Yet, in spite of this, the
men behind the boxing bouts hope
that they will be able to raise
enough money not only to pay all
their expenses. but to stimulate the
regiment to renewed efforts to get
the necessary amount.
That the Abel Knockout Brown
bout will be a stunning financial
success is certain. Inquiries for
seats are pouring in even before
the floor has been placed in the
Armory and even before the price
scale has been announced. The
militiamen are counting a lot on
popular prices. Good seats at
top-notch boxing match for a
quarter, and that will probably be
one of the features, have never be-
fore been offered in the South. as
no boxing promoter could command
the use of such a building as At
lanta has devoted to the citizen SOL
diers. 1t is the fact that this build
ing is available that makes it pos
sible for the soldiers to secure men
like Knockout Brown and Battling
Nelson and to offer them at a price
that places the entertainments with
in the reach of everybody. OF
course nobody expects ring side
seats at such a price People who
want the best will be forced to paw
for it and will be willing to. of
course
Fridays bout is likely to give the
people of the South their last
chance to see Knockout Brown.
The York state Dutchman hasn't
been transforming through Dixie
Just merely for the coin. He is
building up such a reputation that
he will be able to demand another
chance at some of the main guys
in the lightweight division. In only
three Of Browns 119 engagements
has he gone over ten rounds. Never
has he gone over longer route
than fifteen. OF course in SO of his
bouts there was no chance. He
knocked out his man before even
the tenth round was reached. But

around New York, Boston and

SAYS WOLGAST'S
LOSS Of TITLE
WAS CRIME
By Ed. w. Smith.

" HICAGO, Jan. 1S.-It's a thing
of the past and can not be
helped now, but Tom Jones
will never get over feeling that
Referee Griffin's decision of foul
in the Ritchie- Wolgast match was
little short of an absolute crime,
Tom dropped his dough on the
match and so did some of the best
fellows in San Francisco. They all
had confidence in Griffin and
backed Wolgast freely on the sup
position that Jim, who has seen a
whole lot of boxing and is well
thought Of in San Francisco, would
be fair and square.
Whether he was or not or wheth-
or 1t was simply a case of losing
his head or worse, Jones does not
know or will not say openly. At
any rate. Jones believes he and
Wolgast were victims of something,

it than there is in any other match

why, didn't Griffin admit to me
after the battle that he might have
been wrong and probably was? And
further than that, he even told me
that he didn't see any foul blow
struck, although he was satisfied
that there was a low blow. | asked
him if he hadn't warned Richie
right along about different things
and he said he had. The upshot of
the whole thing was that ! discov-

that after the first night or two

eight months our increase in values

A 5 rule, a bah player would
~ rather excel at batting than
any other branch OF the
port, Every one of them dearly
owes the ringing sound Of the base
bat, If a player can bat well his
lob is usually secure, even il he is
deficient in other respects
Eddie Collins is an exception to
this rule, in that he takes greater
pride in his base stealing record
than he does in his batting Eddie
is some demon clouter of course,
as a batting average of .S4S for the
past season will attest.

Athletics Fastest Man.
But Collins has the distinction of
being the champion base pilferer
under the wing OF Connie Mack
He is far away the best OF any
speed merchant on the Athletic
roster. He's the man they rely on
for their base running.
When Collins Joined the Mack
men in 1906 ne did not loom up like
a good base runner. He stole
mighty few sacks during the first
few seasons spent with the Quaker
team He had plenty of speed but
speed is not the only thing needed

any number Of fast men in the big
leagues who do not know how to

are allowed. That will follow nat
urally and without any hullabaloo.
The baseball association is abso-

men behind it feel that if Atlanta
wants Sunday baseball they will
give IT To them. If they don't want
it, well and good They are content
to let things run along as they have
run for the past eleven years-ever
since baseball was revived in this
city,
The feeling of the average citizen

EASY and SURE WAY
TO CURE COLDS

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in others. A cold
is due to an inflammation of the
membrane lining the air passages, and
may be promptly cured with a little
Ely's Cream Balm, which Immediately
relieves the inflammation and all the
distressing symptoms, such as sneez-
ing, coughing, running at the nose and
eyes, hoarseness, sore throat, fever
and headache. One reason why this
pure antiseptic Balm acts so quickly
is because it is applied directly to the
tender. sore surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases of
catarrh. Elys Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharge which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing of
the nose. This remedy not only
drives out the disease, but heals and
strengthens the weakened membranes,
thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with it another
day. Get a so cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.
II is perfectly harmless.
