a game of baseball at intervals. The
beautiful foliage, green sward. and a
real baseball crowd was something
new to them.
Jake Weitzel could not understand

Four of Harrisburgs runs were made

Harrisburg took the opposite view.
Gohon handed up the pill in a wierd
manner. One clean tap was made off
this youngster in every inning but one.
With game team work, brilliant field

couldn't get a man home.
In the second inning Miller scored
when Baker, Smoyer and McInnes fell
down in one two three order.
Gohon and Keyes had round trip
tickets in the third. A pass, sacrifice,
out at first and Doty's error, with
Keyes' stolen base and Crist's double
were factors.

PLY natural and so cheerful that to
read one advertisement makes you
feel you want to read more and more,
just as YOU anxiously await new chap
ters of a continued story.
There's a lot of quaint humor in
the copy" and oddity and human
ness of expression. It seems to "in-
ject some real sunshine into your sys-
tenn" That's because it's just natural
talk about how good Prince Albert
really is.
The R. ]. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
have received thousands of letters
about their advertising. Folks Just
seem to get happy" over it. You
will.
Illustrations are as unique as the
reading matter. Some of the greatest
character artists in the country have
contributed to this new series.
1t will interest everyone to know
that the odd picture printed herewith
was named "Hunch" and is probably
the most famous of a long series of
notable illustrations. You know him
everybody knows him That's why
he's so popular He appears in large
size in one of this new series of ads
BY the way, We recently asked the
R. j. Reynolds Tobacco Co. whether
"Hunch" was sketched from life or
was 1uSt CreaIe0. we found that
"Hunch" does not exist in real life.
1t is said that when the artist was
given his instructions he was told to
create a character "who lived in a
small country town, who was always
at the station when the train came
in, knew everybody's business better
than his own, was always broke. with
money just in sight; happy natured
and just kind of glad he was alive if
he had his Jimmy pipe and a tidy red
tin of Prince Albert"
Hunch" was the result, Now he's
famous all over the nation. The series
of ads that starts tomorrow will GER
tainly interest you.-Advertisemen
