LYRIC BILL
 CONTINUES TO PLEASE

Somewhere in France went over yesterday at the Lyric even better than it did the day before.
 Last year at this time we were all in the midst of all the horrors of real war and few of us had little time for thinking of the fun that came to the boys in spots, even though shells were exploding in the immediate vicinity.
 The scene is a trench on the west ern front and the soldiers are anus ing themselves just as we have read hundreds of times that soldiers do The scenic offsets are strikingly realistic, especial attention having been given to details
 The song yesterday went over bis. and in addition the recitation, "St. Julian," proved one of the bright spot of the whole show.
 Cooper and Ricardo. the eccentric comedians, also put lll the necessary ginger into their work yesterday and their act got many a laugh.
 The Small act the Heavy Trio and Murray and Bennett round out a bill that is much better than any vaude- vile bill so far this season.

DODGERS ARE BEING PUT THROUGH PAGES
Cyrus Slapnicka Is Assist ing Elliot as Coach of the
 B. R. & l.. P. Team

Coach Cyrus Slapnicka and Manager Elliott are putting the Trolley Dodgers through strenuous workouts every after noon for the series which starts Thurs day afternoon with Westfeld. Manager Elliott and Manager McDowell are both very confident that they will take the series, and they are both going into the series to strike blood.
 Westfield has it on the Trolley Dodgers when it comes to pitchers, but these ssme Trolley Dodgers have the edge on them both in the infeld and outfleld Manager McDowell will lay most of his twirling hopes on Robinson, Wolf and Vines while Manager Elliott will depend mostly upon Lefty" Cook and Big Boy" Ardis to stop the fast Westfeld bunch.
 In the inield the Trolley Dodgers will have Red Holt on first. Red Is one of the few natural all around ball play CTS in amateur baseball Carnes, of West field will field nearly as well as Red" but he will never hit as much as the other. Sessions will start on second but in case anything should happen to Hankens he will be used behind the plate and Baker will be put on second. Walker will hold down the short field and Bernie Love will cavort around the hot corner.
 In the outfield the Dodgers have Las sitter in left. Norton in center and prob ably Levvy in right Lassiter is a clever fielder. and a dangerous hitter in the pinches, while every one knows that Homer Norton is the best fielder and the hardest hitter in the city league. Levvy is a high school boy and it is hard to say what he will do, but up to the present he has been killing the agate, and fielding in nice style.
 The old reliable Bud Hankens will be behind the plate with Sessions to re- lieve him in case anything should hap pen.
 The pitching staff is composed of Lefty" Cook, Big Boy" Ardis, Nelson and Gettngs. Cook is the only man that has defeated the Westfield club this year. and he has defeated them on two occasions. Ards has never defeated them but he has pitched 'jam-up' ball when stacked against them Nelson and Get tings have not been defeated this sea- son.
 A few words for the American Steel and Wire company. Out of their team of 172 men, eight of them will play in the championship series. If they had had the same at the first of the season they would more than likely have won the championship of their division.

THE HEART OF HUMANITY"
 COMING TO ALCAZAR

The week of September IS will bring to the Alcazar one of the greatest of all modern phtoplays "The Heart of Hu- manity."
 The keynote of the whole play is love. Love is universal, and for that reason "The Heart of Humanity" has an un- denable appeal to everyone. There is the love of the mother for her five sol dier sons. There is the love of the mother for her babe. We see the love of the sweetheart. We witness the love of the wife for her husband. who has answered the call: the love of the man for the wife left behind. But greater than all is the love that prompts men to leave home and loved ones, that prompts women to leave their own chil- dren in order to help the suffering-the love which beats in the heart of hu- manity.

Say, we got some news. Our old friends the Crackers met more than they could swallow when they took on the Columbia South Athletic association champs.

 Sheehan also met his waterloo. While pitching against the Southern league clubs he was practically unbeatable. But he bumped up against some real sluggers in the Columbia players, who collected 14 safe hits off his delivery We hate to see that, as Sheehan is sort of favorite with us.
 The last echo of the shouting has died out in the Southern league, and things are about to settle down to a normal quiet. Soon runnerup football will take king basebalrs place in the eye of the American public, and first down, eight yards to go' will supplant the usual three strikes, batter's out'

Style Shop windows. Their soft. cooling colors - which of course are washable-are the first things that attract ones eye, but the charming styles of these most popular dresses really overshadow even their pretty colors. Ruffles and ruffles with sash es and bows seem to beckon the stray breezes. Some of the ruffles are even piped with dainty contrasting color while one pretty creation in orchid has D charming bib of countless ruffles. Then there is one of white and another in lavender and of course pink is not overlooked.

DEATH WINS IN RACE
 WITH SOLDIER SUNS
 TO MOTHERS SIDE

While two of her three soldier sons, her gift to her country, were hurrying across sea and land to their mothers bedside, Death beckoned to Mrs. L. Irion and she peacefully entered upon her last sleep Wednesday afternoon, June II. at her home on Mcdowell road in the Creighton district.
 The oldest son, Julius, is now re- turning from France and is expected to arrive in Phoenix Friday. The sec ond son, Fred, has not yet departed from overseas, while the third son, Paul, reached home from France only two months ago.
 Mrs. Irion suffered uncomplain;ngly during a long and painful illness. Three and one-half months ago, it be- ing evident that her recovery was doubtful, her soldier sons were cabled !to come home if possible. Neither Paul nor Julius ever received their cables, but Paul happened already to be on his way home, and Julius learned of his mothers critical condition through Fred, who was the only one to receive cable.
 During the mothers long waiting and hoping for the return of her sol uler sons, the daughter, MISS fullnd, h Tempe Normal student, and the fourth son. Otto, a student at the Phoenix high school, gave their moth CT every possible loving attention.
 Mrs Irion never complained, and only those who also have soldier sons can know her heart hunger for her absent boys. But a letter from Fred and a card and a photograph from Julius came just in time for their mother to enjoy and for her comfort, before she fell asleep. All three sons mad enlisted at the same time and had been in France more than q year.
