SS~SN
ball season in this city yesterday af-
ternoon was marked success, not
withstanding the threatening atti-
tude of the weather man. The par
ade would have been a much more
pretentious affair but for the bad
condition of the roads, which cur
tailed considerably the number of
automobiles from outside the city,
although a creditable showing was
made in spite of this handicap. A
goodly number of cars, the CONNER
cial league band and the two ball
teams-Storm Lake and the Webster
City Nationals-both in new uni
forms, paraded up Second street
from the city hall and thence north
to Riverside ball park.
Promptly at 1915 o'clock, c. H.
Clifton, one of the leading officials
of the National Sewer Pipe company,
the latter donating the uniforms to
the local team, formally opened the
present season in Webster City by
passing the first ball over the plate
amid the resounding acclaim of the
big crowd present. These suits by
the way are without doubt the best
ever seen on the Webster City
grounds. They are made up of good
sensible colors and are very attract
i've looking.
The real event of a ball opening
day, however, is the exhibition put
on for the edification of the lovers
of the, great national pastime and
yesterdays contest left nothing to
be desired in this respect. It was a
great game. Although the home
fans in their jealous loyalty to the
Nationals would have been nightly
pleased to have won the initial con-
test of the season, everybody was
satisfied with the fine playing put
up by both sides. The final score was
2 to 1 in favor of the visitors. Storm
Lake has played several games this
season, while this was the first bat
tie for the locals. Webster City has
the strongest team she ever had and
with little seasoning will be in the
best kind of shape. Both pitchers
did great work and many excellent
plays were pulled off by each side
with but one error in the nine in
nings.
In the first inning the visitors
failed to count, although Fritts
managed to reach second base on a
hit and a stolen sack. Kirkland,
however, famed, leaving Fritts on
second. The Nationals made their
lone count in the first inning. Ker-
in, first up, went out Fromme to
Frame. Holm followed with safe
hit which, with Hills two Dagger,
brought Holm across the home plate.
In the second Storm Lake secur-
ed their two scores. Fromme was
given walk by Pitcher Cummings,
Conner hit for a single and Frame
rolled out to first. Hill relayed the
ball to Corbin and Fromme was
caught off third. Chapman hit for
two bases, scoring Conner and
three Dagger by Barr brought Chap
man in.
The official score:

Robert Warwick in THE Dollar
Mark"
A thrilling picture from the first
moment to the last is the Robert
Warwick picture OF THE Dollar
Mark" William A. Brady play. The
George Broadhurst story OF modern
capital and its domineering ways are
wonderfully brought out in this pic
ture which is the most gripping an
American director has made.
The scenic backgrounds selected
are Of unusual beauty and the call of
the outdoor is felt in every inch of
Eastman. The mining district Of Co
bait. Ontario. Is the setting for the
greater part Of the picture, and there
is careful attention paid to the scenes
taken on board the millionaire's yacht
when Gresham is determined to get
TO his bank in time to prove TO the
clearing house committee that he is
solvent and in so doing, folls the Bay
lis attempt TO take his mine from him
The conflict OF determination and
cleanliness in heart against the mon
ey power represented by Carson Bay
lis is one that gives THE Dollar
Marx" its breath of life and George
Broadhurst has contrived some splen-

masterful as any he has ever made
in his wonderful career as a playmaK-
er 1t is not alone for the control of
the mine that there is a struggle. but
there Is a girl in the story who is
sought after by the two big men. AL
ice Chandler as portrayed by Barbara
Tenant is worth the struggle. For
a long time. there seems little hope
for Gresham but the great moment
comes when he is able to save Allce's
life by carrying her TO safety through
wild day, in which both are at the
mercy Of overflowing waters from a
dam. That unrehearsed, daring series
II pictures is the work Of q genius.
None other could have planned such
thrill producing moments, and only
a genius could have found the means
TO carry out the conception that made
so great a picture.
1t Is not alone on account of the
gripping dam scenes that 1.-THE Dollar

motion picture world, but also because
OF the virility and unassuming Am
