Is affected. One week will be given
Harrisburg to decide as to the future.
If the proper encouragement is not
received, President Farrell will ar
range to place the team in some other
city.
Activity Starts To-day
To-day. in company with Manager
George Cockill and several local en-
thusiasts, President Farrell made a
tour of the business district. Ee wants
to find out whether there is sufficient
interest in the game to continue. He
is of the opinion that Harrisburg will
support team If properly handled.
He also believes that with the mate
rial now on hand the Islanders VIII
make good and will be in the race be-
fore many days. The amount needed
is not large. Plans outlined last night
at a conference held at the Senate
will be presented 10 the businessmen
to-day and tomorrow.
Secretary Frank Seiss, with four
teen men, left this morning for
Wilkes-B Barre. The team will continue
its schedule. Elliott and Healey will
join the team on the trip and the new
men, Mack and Brown, will be in the
lineup. Several good offers of play
ers were made last night by managers
and may be accepted. 1t is probable
a meeting will be called to discuss the
baseball situation.

Marguerite Clark in a story of strong
heart appeal, THE Valentine Girl" and
Charlie Chaplin's latest funny picture.
THE Cure" are the film features that
are entertaining the patrons of Loew's
Columbia Theater the first half of this
week.
The Valentine GirT is the story of
a young motherless girl, whose first
recollection of her father was that gath
cred in her introduction to him at a
gambling table. The child had been
reared apart from him. and when she
came into his life he showered her with
all that money could buy-but withal
the children of the neighborhood re-
fused to play with her. She amused
herself by impersonating the characters
of history, and one day. as Queen Eliza
beth, she knights her father and gives
him her ring as an open sesame to fu-
ture favors. Later in life, when she
has found the choice of her heart, after
many heartaches, and the father has
served a term in prison for an offense
of which he was guiltless. the ring
plays it's part in making him known
to her and in bringing about happy
era in her life.
