The Maroons yesterday completely
swamped the TruXtons in the first of
the two final games in the post-season
of 1 to 0. ten of the runs being scored
against them in the second inning.
Rraund started on the mound, but after
his team gained such a commanding
lead gave way to Doleman. A combi-
nation of errors. hits and walks was
responsible for the heavy scoring in
the second period. Roche and Doleman
proved the best stickers for the win
ming club. TruXtons were held to two
hits.
The game probably will give Maroons
the championship, as TruXton now is in
a position where it would have to win
from General Office in order to get a
tie. If Maroons take the contest sched-
uled this afternoon they will have the
title

Something wholly new in entertain
ment is being offered at the Casino IN

a number presenting performing birds.
1t Is called Werdens Birds in Dream

teresting. About score of birds. from
pigeons to gorgeously plumaged paro-
quets. go thru a number of clever
stunts. The scenic setting Of the act
is notably pleasing too. The humans
attending-or commanding, If one
pleases-the birds are mother, father
and daughter dressed in eighteenth
century garb. The number pleased all
who attended yesterday on its opening
appearances.
The other three acts are up to stan
dard Two young people, Ray and
Marion, present charming musical
number with their solo and duet work
on violin and harp. Many encores
naturally follow their performance. Al
Wohlman comes up to the high words
of the advertisement announcing his
coming; his songs are different" from
the usual run of variety" offerings
and they please. And the Orrin- Craig
trio are clean-cu and unusually clever
in their acrobatic offering, the young
lady doing wonderful things in balanc-
ing and bending and the others show
ing tumbling acts Of merit. All Of the
acts pleased the crowds of last eve
ming, their applause being frequent and
heightened.
There is also film to laugh at In

of the charming tale. Scenically the
labyrinths OF the tangled woodland
are reproduced to the eye just as they
are in their wild nature. Most Of the
incidents Of the story have been used
and the result is satisfying to all who
have read and admired the pathetic
tale with it's lights of genuine humor.
And the actors engaged for interpre-
tation Of the characters and the action
do their work admirably. Jack Pick
ford, indeed. surprises with his meas
ure Of real histronic attainment so
early In his career. Heart and mind
and soul are shown by all the players.

offered at the Strand.
