BESSIE HAS
DELICHTFU
new drama

Bessie Barriscales name is
enough to fill any motion picture
theater and crowds will flock to
the Regent during the engage
ment of THE Payment" which
opened today. This favorite, win
some star, is said to have an ex-
ceptionally strong part in her new
drama of heart interest.
The story is considered one OF
the best, if not the best that G.
Gardiner Sullivan, the able Tri-
angle playwright, has ever writ
ten.
New situations, thrilling mo-
ments and heart throbbing incl
dents are said to abound in it.
A new Keystone comedy is also
on the new bill.

YANKEES:
Ordinarily the steamy day is
the day for the ballplayer. When
a pitcher begins to grow old he
needs the hot weather to get the
old soup-bone in shape. A young
pitcher can get in there every day
and get up speed but the veteran
can't do 1t any more. l don't
mind the hot weather IL 1t isn't
too hot. Sometimes In st. Louis
the climate makes you wilt.
Whom do / consider the
most dangerous batter l face year
In and year out? I'D pick Bobby
Veach, Of the Tigers. He always
seemed to have something on me.
I'd rather face Cobb any time than
Veach."

YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST
SUCH SLUCCERS AS THOSE
EVERYTHING INDIAN LADS

Russ Halls bunch of youthful
big-league aspirants, made their
best attempt of the week to win
yesterday afternoon.
And they had the game sewed
mp, 2 to 1, when the ninth inning
rolled around. But the old say
! ing-"You never can tell about
Q ball game until the last out has
been made" - proved truthful
once more, and the Indians, after
tying things up in the ninth, grab
bed off the battle with a four-
run margin in the extra inning.
. . . .
Sutherland had held the In
dams well in check up to the last
couple of innings. Although liar
stadt did not let many Tigers
hit him, his control was bad and
he walked nine Tacomans, one of
his walks, in the eighth, coming
when the bases were filled.
o . o @
That 10th inning affair was a
bad one. Zamlock started things
with a hit and was sacrificed to
second. Gislason bumped a
grounder to Leard, and the Tiger
second baseman, in his eagerness
to make a quick play, booted the
ball. Harper hit long double
and two men scored. Then Will
Jams, the lanky Indian center
fielder, hit the ball on the nose.
That pill scared up into the sir
like an aeroplane and headed for
Oakland station. The small boys
are still looking for 1t. Williams
home run scored two more runs,
and the game was lost.
. . . .
The young Tiger team did its
best to win yesterday. 1t was on
its toes all the time. Several sem
sational catches were made, in
