Kicks, pastor of the First Methodist
church, conducted the chapel exer-
cises reading the lesson from Prov.
cribs and making appropriate and time
ly comment upon 1t.
The address of the occasion was
made by Hon. William B. Greenlaw of
the city board of education, who in
point of service is the oldest member
with one exception. Mr. Greenlaw's
address was replete with timely advice
to the young people. He declared that
he was an optimist; that this would
be the best session the school had
ever had, and that he believed that this
was the best day the world had ever
known. He referred to the great
achievements that had been made in
the educational, the spiritual and the
moral life Of the community in recent
years in support of this contention.
Brief addresses we're also made by
County Superintendent John P. Ora

HEALING SQUASH
KEEPS GROWING
NEVER DISCOURAGED BY CUTTING
OFF AFEW FEET, BUT GAINS
ALL THE TIME.

Chuck Richardson is growing on his
place on the outskirts of Columbia,
large number of healing squash, Some
of them have attained the length Of
forty-fve inches and are still growing.
Mr.. Richardson says that the beauty
about raising this variety is that all
a man has to do when he wants to
have squash for dinner is to go in the
garden and cut off a foot or two of
the vegetable. The squash will not
die or wither in the least, but will
heal and continue to grow. RI. Rich
adrson had one that was twenty inches
long. From this he cut off eight inches
for meal; within a short time the
squash had regained its original
length. Eight more inches were taken
off; but, undiscouraged, it grew out to
two feet. It's remarkable career, how.
ever, was stopped when it had grown
that much for hog cut of all Of it,
leaving not single shred to continue
to grow in spite of all hardships.

NAPOLEON DIRECT

: Having everything his own way and
forced at no time to exert himself,
Napoleon Direct on Monday won the
free-for-all pace at Syracuse. But one
heat showed anything like the time of
which the horse is capable; the first
one was paced in 2:0012. Single G.
came second, but gave little trouble
in any of the heats. Maury county
horsemen had expected that Napoleon
would break his record on this track,
as it is the fastest one in the country,
but the absence of competition gave
him no cause to exert himself.
The summary of the race is as fol

Sometimes more than one-third of these workers have dependents other than their immediate family to take care of"
 forced on strike by the lockout by the manufacturers, are clinging des- perately to their union organization. It is all that protects them from the most horrible exploitation in sweat shops. They are exploited in sweat shops noow, through the devices of the employers who put out most of their work to contractors and sub manufacturers. One man told an in vestigator that if the bosses offered him $50 a week for the rest of his life to leave the union he would re- fuse it and stick to the union. This perception of the value of their union has come to these workers through seeing the determination of the men who exploit them to break up the union.
 Here is industry that has made many men in it worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and often mil lions of dollars, in few years; and yet it drives those who produce that wealth to the verge of starvation for a great part of the year. Some of the worst conditions are in the contract ors and sub-manufac cturers' sweat ShopS kept up Dy the Iea01ng manu- lecturers in the Manufacturers asso. ciation.
 The fight of these workers in New York for a decent living has attracted nationwide attention. The lines are drawing tight between employers in New York as we'll as in Pittsburgh and other industrial centers to crush out the unionisn that gives the work CTS their only chance of se1f-protec- ton.
 There is now little, if any, doubt that the unions are going to win their fight. The justice of their cause and their courage have won them popular favor. They have resisted ef- forts of the employers who have hoped by taking advantage of their poverty to force them back into the shops as helpless, unorganized, sewated workers.

PLAZA

Bessie Barrisca1e.a big drawing card Tn herself, has plenty of support in packing the Plaza the fore part of the week since Manager Ca11an has ar ranged the classiest vaudeville pro- gram Bridgeport has been treated to in some time.
 Miss Barrisca1e has a splendid ve- hicle for the display of her wondef- full emotional talent in 'HThe Sorrows ofLove," a five part Triangle produc- ton that is just crammed with thrills from start to finish.
 The vaudeville program has Dan Ely's "Black and. White Revue'' for the headline card. The Black and White Revue" is a modern minstrel creation with eight people, five of them pretty gir1ies, in the cast and the repertoire of songs and dances tn ey present in addition to the live line of comedy is enough to insure success before any audience.
 Hoyt, Manion &A Hyams, a trio of uproariously funny Smirthmakers with their odd skit entitled "Bits of Vaude- vi11e;" Hermann and Shirley in the most surprising novelty ever staged in any theatre, ''The Mysterious Mas querader;" and White and White, two ninnb1e-footed young. men in soft shoe dancing exhibition that is a rare treat complete the bill.
 "Moonshiners' is the title of the keystone comedy.

70 Years Since First
 Real Baseball Clash

Three-score-and-ten years ago to- day the first regular baseball game was played in Hoboken, N. J. The game had been played before by inn promptu clubs on vacant lots, but it was on June IA, 1846, that two reg ular and organized teams with names c1ashed on the diamond. The con testing clubs were the New York Knickerbockers. the pioneer outfit of baseball, and the New Yorks, a rival bunch formed a little later than the 'tKnicks'' Having no grounds of their own, the players crossed the riv CT to Jersey and ''crOSSed batS'' on what was then known as the E1ysian Fields. The cham pionship< of New York was involved, and, while the af- fair didn't arouse as much enthusiasm as subsequent clashes between the Giants and the Yankees for the base ball supremacy of Manhattan Island, quite a sprinklingT of fans gathered about the field.
 Under the rules drafted by A1exan- der J. Cartwright and adopted by the Knickerbockers late in 1845 and ac- cepted by the New Yorks in this his toric encounter, a game was "to con sist of twenty-one counts or aces, but at the conclusion an equal number of hands. must be played" In modern baseball language, this meant that victory perched on the banner of the club which first scored twenty-one runs. Imagine such a rule in vogue now, in these days of pitchers bat ties.
 Although the newspapers of the per- iod paid no attention to this historic conflict, the names of the players have been preserved. Monakers of Hiber- nian and Teuto1nfc origin didn't figure as 1uminously as in latter days, a1- though one Murphy played an impor- tant part in winning the contest for the New Yorks. The New Yorks won the game in four innings by a score of twenty-one to one. The victorious nine consisted of Ransom, Davis, Case, Murphy, Thompson, Trenchard, Lalor, Winslow and Johnson.
 The defeated Knfckerbockers' roll of players was Adams, Avery, Turney, Birney, Tucker, Paulding, Tryon and two brothers named Anthony.
 Nearly five years passed before an other regular ball game was played. The Knickerbockers were reorga- nized Yin 1851 and met another New York club called the Washingtons, afterward called the Gothams. The first game on Manhattan Island was played on the Red House grounds of the latter club, located at what is now the corner of Second avenue ana 106th street.

LYRIC

s"The House of Lies" is now run ming, as smoothly as clock work at the Lyric, and there is as marked inn
 provenent in the general performance,
 each member in the cast now being thoroughly familiar with his lines and
 characters, the natural result being a
 splendid performance of a splendidly
 unique and interesting four act com edy drama, which tells a great big story, as well as possessing a constant
 fIowof dialogue of the most brilliant order, The drift of the play deals with an old, yet ever new subject of family affairs, and in the instance of ''The House of Lfesi tells of a young couple recently married and happily so, until the wffe's family and relatives move into their domain, and in every way mar the happiness of the newly weds. 'RoseMorton" is the part of the young
 wife, and is played by Cecil Spooner, whom it is needless to add gives a
 magnificent portrayal of a c11ara cter
 that requires genuine dramatic skill, in order to bring out the many strong points in which the part fairly abounds. Pen Trenton is seen as
 John Livingstone Kent,' young mil lionaire, who on his marriage to
 Rose relinquishes his former fast life and habits and settles down to enjoy married bliss and contentment
 and which he does until the influx of his wifeS family and relatives, who
 are types of fallen aristocracy, and
 who take extreme advantage of the young husbands wealth by sqpander- ing it in the indulging of their aristo- cratic whfnns and fashion fancies. PelI
 Trenton gives, as usual, a most fin ished and fau1tless portrayal of the
 young husband, while Clarence H.
 Doty, his friend, Dick Wilmot,'
 was as artistic as ever and scored
 heavily Rita ViIlers gave a correct m nf
 filled with aristocratfc ideas and man
 nerisn1s, and Helen Ti1den was in- mense as "Fayette de Montville'' a
 typical chorus lady" Frederic Clay ton furnished an abundance of laugh ter as Barclay Mortimer and Clyde Armstrong was splendid in the quaint Part of Thomas Morton" One of the distinct hits of the performance was made by Roy B. Williams, as "Regi- nald Norton a Spoiled" youth.

POLES

Charley Chaplin will lead the village volunteers for the last time at PoH s tonight, when The Fireman, his newest two-ree1 screen scream, will have it's final showing. The picture Is fun from start to finish and has scored heavily. Another photoplay feature is Her Husbands Wife,, a five part production starring Sal1ie Crute, Mignon Anderson and other favorites.
 In the vaudeville bill '+The Court Room Girls,'' a snappy musical com edy, with bevy of pretty girls, is a feature that pleases. There are many pleasing songs and dances while the comedy is in capable hands. Another attractive feature is Prosperity. a rural comedy in one act, featuring Ezra Mathews and. company.
 Wilson Bros. and Mack, in a vau- ,devil4e connection of songs and dances, Sidney Phillips, in interesting charac- ter delineatiens, and The Hollanders, offering a musical novelty, complete the bill.
