better side of his nature in interpreting
the gently, kindly, and religious
character OF Father Pennington, and
the audience really mourned when he
died. He was truly eclesiastic in his
bearing and his acting and makeup and
displayed some fine talent Mrs. Ruth
Harris again appeared before Grange
vile audience as favorite and in
part to which she was well adapted
We can conceive of the reasonableness
in the story of a great rivalry for her
love, which was pictured in the acting
of Frank Atwood, impersonating
noble and brave man, and DR.. Frank
Wood, who proved treacherous and un-
scrupulous. Frank Atwood scored a
second success of recent and Dr. Frank
Wood has added to his reputation for
dramatic ability.
In rounding out the plot of the play,
the part of Waffles, derelict, was ad-
mirably acted by Glib Foster. Black
Eagle, chief of the Apache Indians,
was well interpretated by Eli Ingram,
and the costuming was true to life for
the costume of an Indian chief, pro
cured from Kamiah was used in this
act. Virginia Branscombe, took the
part of Red Feather, an Indian maiden,
Black Eagle IS daughter, and she pleased
as she always does.
The other parts were rounded out in
the work of Private Blake, a courier,
acted by Jack Edwards; Bruce An
drews, secretary, Mr. Don c. Fisher;
Doctor Sharps, regimental surgeon,
Homer Eimers. The bugle calls were
by Gay Eimers, and members of Com
pany "Eo assisted in the staging, and
in other ways.
The large audience indicates that the
show going people of Grangeville and
community have confidence in the
home talent productions and each APP
Dearance the attendance is larger The
are generally applied to some
good of the community and the patron
age is well deserved, especially when
the offerings are so good, and when
hose who take the parts donate their
services.

welfare of the community at heart.
Among those who have agreed to
come and address the crowd we might
mention President j. V. Mccall, of
Hay, Washington, head of the tri-state

profitable, teeming as it does with facts
and practical suggestions. There. will
be other speakers, some of equal reputa-
ton. A big basket dinner will be
served and there will be plenty of eats
prepared by the good housewife, an OPP
portunity to enjoy some real home
cooking. In this connection it is de-
sired that those who can bring baskets,
but whether you do or not you are wei

evening and ball game shortly after
the dinner hour are other entertain
ment. All will be free as it is desired

fact everybody to come out and have

ton one long to be remembered and

FULTZ SOUNDS
 WARNING TO PLAYERS
Head Tells Them to sign No Contract Without First Get
 ting Competent Advice.

New York, Jan. 12.-That ball play first getting competent advice. was the gist of a statement issued last night by David F. Fultz, president of 1 the Baseball Players Fraternity. Tlte statement follows:
 Although the peace agreement be- tween organized ball and the Federal League has not been made public au- thoritatively, it can safely be said that organized ball win not assume the long term Federal League contracts, except where it desires to do so.
 Tt will probably respect these con- tracts, but will not necessarily as- sume them. In other words, if an organized player who signed a long, term contract, it will make terms with his Federal League owner and will then be obligated tc assume the con- tract in it's entirety. This the play CT should be careful to see to, as the clubs have no right to compel him to sign a less favorable contract than the one he already has.
 Where, however, no organized ball club desires to assume the contract of any particular player, there will be in my opinion, no obligation on the part of organized ball to do so. The player in this situation will have only his Federal League owner to look to.
 'In order to preserve their rights all players should gain the consent of their Federal League owners before signing with any organized ball club. If they do not do this they may lose the advantage of their Federal League contract without gaining any corre- spending advantage under their new agreements.
 "The situation is a very complicated one and players should be careful to get competent advice before entering into any new contractuaI relations"

Acorn A. c. Arranges Fine Fight Card
 For Tomorrow Evening.

Tomorrow evening at RiverVieW, Hartford, one of the best cards that has been ever arranged in the Capitol City, will be staged under the auspices of the Acorn A.

J., one of the prize packages that adOrn l.. ?. Flynn's stable. The bout will afford followers of the little Italian battler an opportunity of getting a line on his present condition, as he is matched for a number of bouts in the near flu ture. Rocco worked out last week in East Hartford, and gladdened the hearts of his admirers by the show ing he put up against "'Kid' Bunyan of New Haven, and although he was greatly outweighed by his opponent, he was the winner on points at the end of the six rounds.
 Tierney needs no Introduction to To- cal fans. as he has fought in this city against Tommy Shea a draw. and re- gently he stood toe to toe with Sam my Waltz and battled twelve hard rounds.
 The preliminaries will bring to- gether Jack Kershaw and Red" Ames. both of Hartford in a battle that should be a "whale." Both boys are past masters of the art of slug. and for sometime have been at swords points as to their respective superior ity over each other.
 Two Hartford boys will hook up in the curtain raiser. Walter Vennart
