dents crowded the high school gymnas-
ium Friday night to witness the jun
iUr medley, presented by the junior

for its annual banquet at which the
seniors. faculty and school board are
entertained.
In their anxiety to give the audience
their moneys worth the juniors pre-
sented a show that lasted two hours
and three quarters, but the program
was of such a varied nature that the
! crowd appiauded just as long and loud
for the last number as for the first.
| The various stunts were pulled off
without the usual bitches and awk-
ward pauses that 50 often mark anna
teur entertainment, and all participant
ing did their best, which made the
whole show a good one. q
Perhaps the biggest laugh producers
were the junior minstrels, eighteen
boys, all dressed in marvellous cos
tunes, who sang and cracked jokes to
The huge delight Of all present. Another
comedy hit was sketch by Mar
shall Ruth, Harold Balch, and John
Smith, entitled Bernstein and Fir
stein,' which the producers modestly
announced as the comedy hit Of the
season" Songs were introduced dur

dialog proved to be clever and funny

chant in State Center from 1879 until
fourteen years ago. when he engaged
in the banking business.
During his first term Fin the legisla-

PREACHER SPOILED TO MAKE
APRESS AGENT FOR A CIRCUS

A perfectly good Lutheran preacher
was spoiled when H P. KutZ became a
circus press agent. Mr.. Kutz is in Ell
Paso with Cole Bros. shows. He is a
Dutchman of the Pennsylvania pioneer
brand. and in early life was sent to
school to be educated for the ministry,
but at his graduation he had contracted
lar, and instead of DOMINIC the vest
ments of the church. he came west to
Denver. There he found an opening as
a clarinet player in a circus band, then
he drifted into an orchestra in an opera
house and later when there came an
opening as reporter on a newspaper,
he took the job, drifting from that work
into the business of a circus press
agent which he still holds down.
Recently when visiting on the Cana
dian border he had occasion to cross
over the line to do some press work for
the circus and was arrested as a Ger
man spy. although he was born in the
United States ard his great grandfather
founded Kutztown. Burke county, Pa.
He was held for several hours until the
Canadian officials could dismount the
newspaper cuts he carried and examine
them with chemicals to ascertain If
they were more harmful than the aver
age circus picture. His private cor
respOndence was also gone into and he
was stripped and searched for secret
papers His Elks' card failed to con-
vince the Canadians, even that he was
an American and secure his release.
until they had thoroughly satisfied
themselves that the greatest harm he
could do people OF Canada was to spin
his yarns about the lion that talks, the
elephant that tangoes and the seal that
can read a newspaper.

MUSICAL SHOW
THAT'S A SHOW
Crawford Theater at Last
Has the "Real Thing;
Week at Texas Grand.

The musical comedy now running at
the Crawford theater packed the house
for every performance Monday, as it
did on Sunday, the opening day, and
it deserves all the patronage it gets.
FL Paso has never had a popular priced
organization the equal of this; the
show is clean. which is its greatest
recommendation. but it is also funny.
full of good, catchy songs, sung by
clever people, and the comedians know
how to put over" the laughs without
getting rough The costumes are all
exceptionally bright and attractive and
the girls are the pressiest aggregation
of dancers and singers it has been FL
Paso's privilege to see in a long time
whether in a 50-cent company or a
- organization. The minute the cur
tain rises the audience recognizes that
the show has class and this conviction
grows as the show progresses. FL
Paso would be lucky to have such an
organization here permanently for its
entertainment. but the show is booked
out on a vaudeville circuit after next
week. However. FL Pasoans will have
the privilege of enjoying il another
week. as manager E. F Maxwell has
arranged to open the Texas Grand
next Sunday with the show. At the
same time. his vaudeville season will
open at the Crawford The musical
comedy aggregation will be succeeded
in the Texas Grand by stock company

BASEBALL To BE
PLAYED At FAIR
Southwestern Teams Are to
Compete in Tournament
Prizes to Be Offered.

The proposed baseball tournament
to be held in connection with or at
the time of holding the Soil Products
exposition seems to be an assured
thing. Local fans have taken to the
suggestion and have entered into the
spirit Of the idea with a will which
should carry 1t to success.
George R LeBaron. chairman Of the
board of control, today appointed DR..
T J. McCammant chairman of a com
mittee which will have charge OF the
tournament and which will arrange the
details. DR.. McCammant Immediately
named as his fellow committeeman
J. J. McCloskey, Lieut.. Bertram, of the
Seventh q. S infantry. Vincent An
dreas. E 3. Hughes, A H. E. Beckett
and ny Schneider.
To Have Only Southwestern Teams.
1t seems to be the consensus Of opin-
ion that, instead OF trying to get teams
from the Texas. the Western or other
professional leagues, the tournament
be confined to the home teams Of FL
Paso, including. of course. the army
teams. and of the cities of the south
west which may be induced to send
teams to Ell Paso to participate in the
big event
1t is argued that the teams made up
of players truly representative of the
southwest will give as good an exhi
bition of the national game as will the
teams from some of the leagues and
will draw much better from the towns
in the territory Immediately adjacent
to FL Paso.
The purses to be hung UP for the
baseball tournament have not yet been
considered, but il is believed that
among the fans of the city and with
the help of the exposition managers
and of the chamber of commerce the
prizes can be made so attractive that
there viii be a large entry list
Fans Favor Plan.
DR.. McCamant has received a number
of letters from baseball fans in the
southwest written after it was an
nounced that there was a possibility
that there might be a tournament, ask
ing for more information Everyone
of the letters was couched in terms Of
encouragement and that had the effect
TO cause the exposition manage to
look with more favor upon the sugges-
ton that the tournament be made a
part OF the big fall festival
To Call Meeting.
DR.. McCamant will call his committee
together this afternoon or Wednesday
in order TO get the matter lined up in the
shortest possible time. 1t is believed
that Douglas, Bisbce, Tucson. Phoenix,
Globe. Clifton, Morenci. Silver City,
Deming, Hurley, Santa Rita, Albuquer-
que, Santa Fe Roswell and Carlsbad
and perhaps Alamogordo will enter
teams If the tournament is made a
purely southwestern affair and the
danger of ringing is u1ininfzed
