PERSEVERANCE WINS GAME
 THROUGH DROPPED FLIES.

Perseverance won yesterdays ball game from the Juneau team by a score of to 4. The Perseverance men placed three long fiys into right field and the Juneau fielder dropped them all. Each dropped fly meant score for the miners.
 The game was fast and clean, al- though Juneau should have brought home the bacon. Two Juneau men were caught at the plate at critical times when each run, had it been safe, would have tied the score.
 Perseverance showed plainly the benefit of nightly practice which they have been indulging in, while the pickup team of the Juneau bunch lacked team work. Juneau has no excuses to offer, the boys lost fairly and squarely and today are giving the Perseverance bunch all the credit due them.
 Fry and Shepard were the Juneau batteries while Herman and Rhodes did the battery work for the min ing men. The game lasted seven innings and was called on account of darkness.

"ROMEO AND JULIET" AT COL lSEuM IS CREA1.

The Romeo and Juliet" production, a Metro feature, now appearing at the Coliseum, is of the largest and best plays ever seen on the screen Of any local theatre. It is stupendous in it's production most elaborate in cos tuning and with the best scenery and general detailed accessories of any play that has been presented here for the past year and half The cast is large one, most creditable one for the most part composed of those who have been on the speaking stage in Shakesperian roles. With Francis x. Eastman as Romeo and Beverly Bayne as Juliet, there is nothing that need be added to this popular picture.
 No matter where one goes. no matter what class of people are in commun ity, Shakespeare plays will live for all most eternity. There is something so different in his plays even when screen ed that all will find bountiful surprises in them. Romeo and Juliet IS per haps as great a Shakesperian play as could be screened which would reach and be understood by the masses. The Metro production is great one. noth- ing is missed and Manager Gross should be well satisfied with the large houses he had last night at the initial presen- tation of this play.
 MT. Eastman not only is in the best role of any he has been seen Tn here but he does the best acting he has ever shot into the transparencies. He does Romeo in overwhelmingly splendor and tradition of the woeful Italian lad; nevertheless the fact remains that he superb Romeo. performing with dis erection, dignity and unusual amount of reserve and astounding sincerity He is unutterably earnest. clean and whole some making a most pleasing lover.
 Miss Bayne is the sweetest of Juiets. sincere in every action, dainty at all times and possessed with the fervor of the part which is required. In the tender. childish moments of Julicts love she may be characterized only by the word exquisite.
 An easy third in the race for popu- larity in this production for Metro hon. is Robert Cummings as Friar Laur- ence. He plays a wholly lovable celi- bate and friend to humanity. w. Law son Nuts energetic Tybalt and Peter. quaintly played by Joseph Daley, the latter practically the only real comedy character in this production are most worthy.

 From the outset Morris crowded Moran, driving short rights and lefts to the body and short right uppercuts at close quarters.
 Moran cut loose in the fifth round, landed two right swings on Morris head and face and forced the big fellow to the ropes. Moran then tried another swing, but his strength failed him.
 Morris had things his own way after that, forcing Moran all over the ring and battering him badly. Moran's left eye was cut and bleed ing at the end of the tenth round.

They are generally too class ical or the opposite Miss Forbes se- lections were for the most part of the slow movements. The iveier selections took better yesterday than those of the more sombre shadings All were well rendered. but the Gavotte by F'riml. was perhaps the best received The Largo from Zerxas, by Handel is beautiful selection when given by an artist and this Miss Forbes open ing yesterday afternoon. The sacred 70 Sanctissima' was splenddly given and received The recital, as far as the organ selections were concerned were more on the sacred than the pop ular kind and therefore appealed to those with musical tastes of the high CT standard.
 Miss Klondy Nelson could not have chosen better selections in contrast Her violin solo, "Cavatina." was ex- celenty given and received an encore but the second selection, Beethoven's s Minuet was rapturous and this clever lady was obliged to play it q second time
 The recital was given by the man. agement of the Orpheum which will take over the Palace this week. Miss Forbes being engaged as organist and pianist.

VALENTINE GRANT IN IAN INNOCENT LiE.n

Valentine Grant is another of the charming women stars which have been seen lately at the Dream. She is in An Innocent Lie,' a Daniel Frohman Famous Players production. Unusual interest attaches to this production by many now in Juneau as Miss Grant Is a Seattle girl and her parents live in the same home on Capitol Hill where she did when she received her grammar high school and theatrical education.
 Miss Grant is pretty. talented and vii vacious and ideally adapted to the Irish role of an immigrant The story is full of dramatic surprises vivid contrasts and mistaken identities and all the standard emotions are played upon vigorously.
 Those who we're in attendance at the matinee yesterday did not have the pleasure of the mandolin and banjo entertainers, Temples and Mitchell. for they did not appear until last nights shows. An Innocent Lie" and the entertainers will be the bill tonight and tomorrow.

no shadow of a doubt. Forty-five Ger

stroyer sighted periscope and

4cASH AND CARRY" PLAN COMING
Food Administrator Intends to Start
System in State-cuts Down
Cost of Foods.

Lansing-Retail grocers who insist
on "hogging" prices for foodstuffs OBJ
tanned through Michigan jobbing
houses will be deprived of future pur-
chases.
This is the gist of what occurred at
Lansing when George A. Prescott, fed
eral food administrator, met with
Michigan wholesalers, who came to as
certain what action was necessary to
assist the plan of food conservation
and price making.
II is also proposed to start through
out Michigan a cash-and-carry system
of purchases. Mr.. Prescott has stats
tics compiled by the national food ed
ministration showing the increased
cost of food commodities when credit
and delivery charges are added.
This plan is working out well In
other states and has forced the price
of groceries to a level that gives a
reasonable profit to the wholesaler
and retailer and allows the customer
to make purchases at decided saw
ing.

RAILROADS MERGE FACILITIES
Equipment Of All Lines Pooled to Get
Maximum Efficiency.

Washington-Face to face with a
threat of complete government opera
ton and the cutting of their profits to
a minimum, the railroads of the eoun-
try have taken drastic steps to avert
these contingencies.
At the conference here the roads
representatives were told that their
services must be improved or the job
turned over to the government.
The following plan is to be put into
effect at once:'
Engines, rolling stock, machine tools
and employees from railroads west of
Chicago are to be transferred to the
service of railways east OF Chicago.
The shops of the western roads are to
be used for repair work on eastern
road equipment. Train service west
of Chicago is to be cut to the bone.
The government is to take full con-
troll of all the railway systems with
the management of the roads executing
the governmental orders.
