Cecil Spooner Takes
 Park Theatre For
 ! Summer Engagement

Commencing July 3, Cecil Spooner, with her company of Lyric favorites, together with several specially added players, will open at the Park thea tre for an indefinite season, the, lease for which has just been signed by Miss Spooner's manager, Joseph Sol- 1y. with P. F. Shea
 The Spooner season at the Lyric, which lasted nearly one year, was a m ost pleasant, as well as profitable one, but the contract with Manager w. H. Ishan of the Lyric, expires July 1. after which it will run photo plays.
 Miss Spooner had planned to spend the balance of the summer at her farm. New Canaan. but was practical ly forced to continue her stay in Bridgeport through the numerous re- quests of her thousands of friends and patrons, hence the immediate leasing of the Park. Miss Spooner announces that during her stay at the Park, will have exclusive control and. un- der her direction and dictation, will introduce constant innovations and pleasant surprises, which will be an nounced in due time.
 The opening play will be one of the most imposing productions ever giv- en by stock organization.

THE DAYS OF BIG SCORES

While the latter-day crop of base
 ball fans have been educated to the
 point where they prefer a pitchers
 battle to a batting bee, there are still
 left many old timers whose taste in
 the American pastime runs to the old
 fashioned game in which hits are hard
 and frequent and big score is rolled
 up. To these veteran rooters the fin-
 ished performance of two Fbig league
 machines working at their best, with
 the slab artists moving down the so-
 called 'batters in one-two-three order,
 where a single hit may mean victory
 for one side or the other, is a dull and dreary proceeding. This class of fans is now to be found largely in
 the rural districts, where baseball in
 terest is kept alive by hines made up
 of farm boys. Even here the day of
 big scores is passing. and the grizzled
 old farmers and villagers who play the role of spectators lament the days of their youth, when "runnin'" " was the principal feature of the game.
 To this type of fan the classic game of baseball was one staged in Buffalo l forty-seven years ago today, June g.,
 1889, when the Niagaras defeated Co., lumbus by a score of 209 to 10. This was the largest score on record in a game between regular clubs, although doubtless scrub hines of the rural districts often equa1led or surpassed it in the good old days.
 In those days a baseball game usu- ally started right after dinner, and meal being served at high noon, in stead of in the evening, as in the new fangIed style. Beginning at about 1 o'clock, the game sometimes lasted until sundown, and even then it was not always possible to play nine inn ings-or "ending," as it was often called. The job of the scorekeeper
 was no easy snap, although he didn't have to keep track of the minute de- tails now considered essential.
 Even more one-sided than the Buff falo contest, although fewer runs were scored. was a game between

POLES

Adrian c. Anson, familiarly known to baseball devotees as Pop" who explained the Chicago Nationals years ago, will be at Polls the last half of the week, with his charming daugh- ters, in new vaudeville offering. The girls are clever entertainers, while f'Pop'' has arranged a monolog that gives him a batting average of better than 400 in the vaudeville league.
 Charley Chaplin, the funny film fel- low, will be seen in the two-reel comedy, Police" According to MT. Chaplin himself, Police" is a scream, with a hearty laugh in every one of the 2,oo0 feet of film. Another big screen feature will be Robert B. Man tell, the eminent tragedian, and Gene vieve Hamper in the hve-part film drama, ''The Spider and the F'1y.''
 The worlds greatest sharpshooters, The Vivians, will be a special added feature with their feats with the rifle. They have just returned from the battlefieIds of Europe where they were on a special mission for the United States army.
 Old timers will be greatly interest ed in the reappearance here of Fred Hallen and Mollie Fuller, for 25 years favorites in the vaudeville world. Their offering, 'HThe Corridors of Time" is a beautiful act, reminiscent of ''the old days.''
 Montgomery and Perry, in new songs and dances, and the Four En- tertainers, a remarkable singing quar- tet, will complete this extraordinary program of features.

 With the Chaplin picture has been arranged the largest, most artistic and most expensive vaudeville program ever staged in local playhouse.
 ''The Follies of Vaudeville a girly, girly revue with ten people will head the bill. The act is delicious treat of melody and mirth. beautifully cos tuned and gorgeously equipped with special scenery and should in itself prove a drawing card.
 Then come the Abso1am Sharrif troupe of six wonderfully nimb1e Arabs. the worlds greatest aggrega- ton of tumb1ers and pyramid build CTS who have head1ined many big vaudeville programs in other cities; The Old Time Darkies, a quartet of coIored songsters with a repertoire o1 hits that no singing act can follow; and King ard Ward, an unusually clever pair of entertainers in their de- hghtfuI offering of song and piano. logue-
 For good measure and to crown the bill as unsurpassable, Manager Callan will arrange to show the latest Tri- angle feature, "Going Straight ,'' a stir ring 'tcrook'' story in five parts with Norma Talmadge in the leading role Going Straight is an absorbing play that breaches a. powerful. inviting ser mon It is sure to be talked about.

BRIDGEPORT, FRIDAY, JUNE

Chicago and Memphis in 1870, the former winning 157 to 1. In the same year two Cleveland clubs, the Forest Citys and Atlantics, played a five-inning game, called on account of darkness, which was won by the first named club, 132 to 1. In one inning the Forest Citys got ffty-three runs. and in another fifty-two.
 On one day in 1865 the Philadelphia Athletics defeated Williamsport in the morning 101 to g, and in the after noon. triumphed over the Danville Alerts 162 to II. Having made 263 circuits of the bases in nine hours, the Athletics knocked off and called 1t day.
 With the coming of professionalism in 1869 games with such emendous scores became less frequent, but in that year two of the fastest pro clubs in America, the Brooklyn Atlantics and the Philadelphia, Athletics, ran up a score of fifty-one to forty-eight, with the Athletics on the short end. The biggest score in the National league in 1876, it's first year, was Chi cago 30, Louisville z. This big league mark was surpassed in 1882, when Chicago got thirty-five runs in a game with Cleveland, which put over four. The following year Chicago defeated Buffalo 8 to T. The thirty mark was not passed again until 1890, when the Philadelphia Players league club de- feated Buffalo 30 to 12. Tn 1893 the Reds larruped Louisville to the tune of 30 to 12. The major league rec ord was set up in 1897, hen the Louis vile Colonels fell before Chicago 36 to T. In 1911 the Cincinnati Reds staged a swatfest reminiscent of the good old times by defeating Boston 26 to 3.
