Forces at Work
At the appointed time the waves Of
infantry surged forward to the attack.
Then the tremendousalf1re of the Ger.

vast clouds of smoke. The attacking
infantry vanished tns';that grim pail

what was passing beneath them.
Then across the held. arose q sienai
from Morval which told that the Brit
ish infantry had reached another goal
and that another village was taken.

wounded said that of course they got

that 1t was becoming an even fight
since the Germans HAD no more pre-
pared lines. but both armies were
fighting in the open. According to the
British officers the Germans on the
fighting front had no longer any
trenches except those which are dug
under fire.

"Casey at the Bat" the Triangle De

Strand theatre today tells in picture
form the story Of the famous baseball
poem which Hopper has recited from
countless stages and at innumerable
social gatherings since it first ap-
peared, more than a quarter Of a CEN
tury ago.
It will be recalled that Casey, the
invincible slugger Of the Mudville
baseball team, came to bat one after
noon in the ninth inning of a close
game with a rival nine and, when a
hit was needed to win. ingloriously
struck out, leaving the entire populace
Of Mudville gasping with amazement
and drenched in gloom.
The poem does not reveal what un-
toward circumstance 1t was that
caused Casey to fall down 50 grievous-
ly at a crucial moment This mystery
the picture promises to clear up.
