 FOR BASEBALL CHAMPIONS William c. Moore Saw Them Play r Double Header in Boston.

William C. Moore, one of the well known baseball pitchers of this city of some years ago. has returned to his home on Franklin street after a snort pleasure trip which included visits to Springield. Holyoke and Boston While in Springfield he vis- ited his son. Edward, who is now in vaudeville. and while in Boston he attended the game in Boston in which Snodgrass of the New York Giants made such a desgraceful exhibition of nimsef in his insulting attitude to- wards the crowd, which responded with a shower of bottles and yelled to have Snodgrass taken from the game.
 In all the professional baseball that he has seen, he has never witnessed a more rowdy act than that of Snod- grass, Mir. Moore says. From what he saw of the Boston Nationals and the Giants: he can see nothing to it but the Giants to win the National lea que championship. as in his opinion Maranville and Evers are all there is to the Boston team and the Boston pitchers do not look as if they coull stand up much longer.

For the change of vaudeville bill at the Davis theatre on Thursday there were three acts that filled their partss in the entertainment in a satisfying manner, beginning with Warren & Renfrew, who had original songs in the comedy line. Two eccentric dancing comedians appeared in Cody & Christy, their variety of steps bringing out many laugh as they produced their comedy skit, called The Belloby and the Porter. A decided novelty was shown by Demetrtous in a bronze pos ing act which is a European act that is an artistic conception. In the mo- ton picturesswere another instaIIment of Our Mutual Girl with a two reel feature film of circus life and one of the well known Keystone comedies.
