SCREEN VERSION OF @THE
WHIP-,AT AMERICAN TONIGHT

The picture par, excellence, the su-
preme offering Of f1lmdom. is "The
Whip" the screen version of the
famous play that ran for three years
In London and for over two seasons in
New York City. when it was produced
by William A. Brady. It was so vast
in its equipment of scenes and eff
fects that 1t could be produced in only
three or four theatres in all America.
This vastness has been immeasurably
increased by the resources of motion
picture art. Tremendous effects have
been secured. as. for instance, the
gigantic train wreck in which a whole
train was smashed to bits at a huge
cost for the sole uprpose of securing
one scene for this picture.
The story Is of the racetrack and
the intrigue revolving around a
famous racehorse named "The Whip"
Big race scenes. wonderful hunting
scenes, the best train wreck and the
most thrilling automobile accident
ever seen in pictures, startling scenes
in the old Eden Musee filled with wax
figures-all these combined with a
powerful and attention riveting story
make this the worlds biggest screen
play.
THE Whip" will be shown in Win
nemucca at the American theatre to-
night. There will be no advance in
prices.

IN SHAPE
FOR BALL GAME

In preparation for the baseball
game to be played Decoration day,
the local boys are practicing diligently
every evening and did so all last week.
They are showing good form in spite
of their sore muscles and stiff limbs,
which have not lately been subjected
to such strenuous exercise. BY the
time the game starts they are conf
dent of being limbered up and able to
play a game that shall be a treat to
baseball fans and very interesting
even to those who do not understand
the game so thoroughly.
Last evening almost all the players
on both teams were present at the
practice diamond, back of the high
school. A trial game was put on in
order that the captains might observe
their men at actual work in the vari-
Gus positions and be enabled to place
them to the best advantage in the
final lineup. Several innings were
played.
All the fellows considered the event

became necessary to stop. In fact,
"Froggy" Ruckteschler was inclined
to camp on first base all night and we
believe he would have done so if the
weather had not been SO chilly.
Following are the line-ups of both
teams, as prepared by the captains
after their close observations last
evening:
