fused to play in his yard any more, so he was released to Baltimore. With the Orioles he recovered his swatting eye and in 1914 he was recalled to the Tanks and given a contract for three years at $8.000 a year and a juicy bonus in addition. Birdie also stipulated that he was to have the privilege of stating just where he wanted to go in case of a trade or sale. When his work fell off the Yankee outfielder was sold to Kansas City, but he refused to go. Last Spring he released Ruppert and Huston from the contract for consideration and was given his uncondition release.

 Hugh Bedient, wffo was one of the pitching heroes of the Red Sox in the worlds series of 1912. was born twen- ty-seven years ago today. Bedient looked like future great in his early days with the Red Sox, but he pro- gressed in the wrong direction, and at the close of the 1914 season was released to Providence. He refused to join the Saints, and hoked up with the Buffalo Feds for 1915, when he had a. record of sixteen won and eigh- teen lost.
 Russell Blaekburne, the former White Sox infielder, who spent the 1916 season in Toronto uniform, was born in Delaware county, Pa, thirty years ago today. Blackburne first made a reputation as a shortstop for the Worcester club in the New Eng land league in 1908. From Worcester he went to Providence, and was sold to the White Sox late in the 1909 season. Comiskey kept him on the payroll until August, 1912, when Rus sell was optionaHy released to Mil waukee. He was recalled from the Brewers at the end of the 1913 sea- son, and was made the regular sec- ond baseman of the White Sox in 1914. Last year he was used as an utility infie1der, and last spring he was turn ed over to the Leafs. An injury to his knee which he suffered in 1910, soon after his first major league de- but, put Russell out of the game for a long time, and prevented him from attaining the heights he might other wise have scaled.

The headline attraction is Corbet, Shepard and Donovan, three men and a piano. who present a snap py comedy, singing and musical offer ing that will be the talk of the town after the first performance today. They dress well, are excellent singers and for all round clever entertainers this act would be hard to beat The sec ond act is Cervo, a piano accordion ist, and is conceded to be the great ticular instrument. The third and last act is King & Ward. who present a novel comedy skit. called the Country Girl and the City Chap They carry their own special scenery and keep everyone in laughter while they occu- py the stage. Altogether for a three act combination, this bill cannot be equaled anywhere for the money.
 The Triangle photoplay feature on this bill is called Sold for Marriage, a five-part Griffith production, with Lillian Gish as the star. This is a strong dramatic picture and comes uD to standard of all Griffith supervised productions. To complete the program and send everyone home with a smile on their face, Fatty Arbuclle will be seen in the two-reel Keystone conn edy, The Other Man. This is oosi lively the funniest film this popular comedian has ever appeared in. Mat inee at 2.15. All seats 10 cents. ev- ening at 6.45 and S45, admission 10 and 15c, reserved seats 2Oc.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Community Celebration of the
 Shakespeare Tercentenary.

Shakespeare Tercentenary.
 The plans for the celebration of the Shakespeare Tercentenary are pro- gressing most satisfactorily, and much enthusiasm is shown by those who are working for the various parts.
 As it would be- impossible to give whole plays and equally difficult to choose a typical play, one or two scenes from some of the most familiar will be given.
 Books and pictures have been stud jed to make the presentation as ac- curate as possible. The costumes will be from a well known coStumer in Boston. MO pains have been spared to reproduce an EliZabethan perform ance with as many of the entertain ments as possible that pleased an au- dience in Shakespeare's day. Shep- herdesses will entrance us by the mu- sic of their pipes; old time dances are to be revived. and we hope the jester, too, will tickle our fancy.
 No EliZabethan festival was com plete without refreshments, and one of the Academy teachers is to preside over booth where all sorts of tempt ing things will be for sale; Shrews- bury cakes made from genuine English recipes; Banbury tarts and honey cakes, also from old time English cook books; and last but not least, real SUI gar plums.
 To show the interest the city is talk ing in the undertaking, we are glad to be able to say that one firm has offered to put in the electric lights for the evening performance (and it will be a charming scene when the Acad- emy campus is lighted), another of fered the lumber for the stage.
 The plans for the seating are in the hands of a competent committee and ushers will assist each one to find a seat. The prices are from 25 cents tc $1, according to location.
 Tickets are for sale at G. A. Davis and the Manhattan Clothing Go.
