The play is modelled along decidedly
unique lines, practically all the char
acters Representing well-known and
well-loved folk from Mother Goose
Land. 1t will be enjoyed by young
and old alike. There is an interest
ing story told while the nature of
the play allows splendid possibilities
in the way of scenic and spectacular
effects, all of which are made the
most of. The music is tuneful and
catchy, the dances unusually pretty,
and the comedy immense, all being
heightened by the beautiful cos

WHAT chance will the Feldmans
" have against Santa Rita in the
series starting Thursday? Several
fans have submitted the question.
Well, going strictly on the dope and
without seeing the miners in action,
the writer would say that the Field
mans have an awful good chance.

up as strong IS any class D club.
This series should be well worth
while.
CLAUDE GRAHAM will likely
start against Santa Rita on
Thursday while manager McCamant
has yet to decide on his pitchers for
Friday and Saturday. He has been
offered the services of the York
Gallagher battery of the Seventh in
fsntTy and may use these men on
Friday so that they will have a
chance to rest before going up
against the Feldmans again on Sun
day. For the Saturday game, Nc
Camant can use Maresch, Perry or
one of half a dozen other pitchers
for the Saturday game. By the way,
there is a pitcher at the local quar-
termaster depot who has seen serv-
ice in fast company. His name is
Rollins and he was with HAYDEN
