Lookouts Win Twenty-Inning Game
Florence Ring, Star Attraction at LOew's
 Bijou, Real Find

On the lower East Side on Manhattan avenue, to be exact. at Avenue R and Fifth street, Marcus Loew has built a fillion dollar theatre, and the principal reason for his choice of this location was the fact that he had been born on the spot where the theatre now stands. Because of his fatherly affection for this theatre. his various booking managers and men in the office competed with one another to give this theatre extra shows and extra attractions.
 The song contests were the talk of New York, and the big time and legiti- mate producers made it a habit to go down to the East Side. on Wednesday night, to look for fresh and unspoiled material in that very versatile audience. On one of these nights, Harry Shaw. the famous producer of musical comedies, was sitting in the audience, and right next to him was shy little girl, then about 14. whose voice rang out above all the others, but who was too shy to go upon the stage and who disappeared when she noticed he was looking at her
 Fort weeks Shaw went down to the theatre to try to locate her, for her beauty, her naturalness and simplicity

EVEN JAPAN TALKS
 ABOUT PROHIBITION
About 15,OOO, ,OOO Bushels of Rice Would Be Saved Year.
 ly by Prohibiting Sake
By Associated Press

Tokio, June 15.-The prohibition move ment in the United States has been fol- lowed in Japan by the launching of a project to stop the manufacture of sake, Japan's national alcoholic drink which is distilled from rice.
 The end of the war has brought no check to the steady increase in the price of the necessities of life, and the soaring cost of rice, which is the staple food of the Japanese people, is becoming a grave problem for the government. Last year the high price of rice led to serious riots throughout the empire.
 The Japan Temperance society has pre- sented memorial to the government urg- ing the prohibition of making of sake. The organization points out that about 15,0o0,0O0 bushels of rice are consumed population of Japan increasing at the rate of 600,oO0 yearly and the national rice crop falling on account of the de- crease of rice lands through civic and in dustrial expansion, the organization as- serts that the enormous quantity of rice used in distilling sake might be turned to better use in distributing it as food for the people.
 Emperor Yoshihito is said to be deeply concerned over the living conditions among his people. Through his lord chamberlain he recently ordered the governors of the different provinces to investigate the changes in the thought of the masses. the cost of food for the middle and labor classes and the general industrial situation throughout the em- pire. The discomfort of the masses of the people is seriously occupying the govern ment which is trying to devise means oi relieving the situation.

GERMANS PLANNED
 ESCAPE BY TUNNEL
Prisoners in Australia Re sented Plan to Ship Them
 Back to Germany
By Associated rress

sydney, Australia, June 4.-Several hundred Germans and Austrians made an attempt to escape by tunneling from the Holdsworthy concentration camp here re- gently in order to foil the purpose of the Australian authorities to send them back to Germany and Austria.
 The military authorities. had previously notified the interned Teutons that they were soon to be returned to their native countries. Shortly before they were to be taken out of the internment camp the authorities discovered a tunnel 150 feet long which led from one of the barracks underneath the fence enclosing the camp and thence to the surface outside The tunnel was the work of about 15O men and apparently was begun as soon as the prisoners received warning of intention to send them home They had planned to break free from the camp on the night before the sailing of the steamer for Eng land
 Earth removed from the tunnel had it was not noticed until the tunnel was almost completed. When the tunnel was discovered the Germans made a hostile demonstration but the guards suppressed it The prisoners watched with chagrin the filling in of the tunnel

It was hard one to lose, especially when a victory would have put us in third place, but we can't kick when the boys keep playing the fast brand of ball they have been putting out lately.
 Pat Duncan is evidently hitting in hard luck. for as everybody knows, the doughty Irishman certainly spanks that pill on the nose. But the point is that Fat hasn't gotten hit in his last two games, or 10 times up.
 That lad Morrison should be worth $500 at least to some big league club. Worry has good control, a fine curve, and, best of all courage. He never ''chokes up in the critical moments.

 He has hit nearly 400 on the present road trip, having amassed B safeties out of B times at bat.
 Coffindaffer or Crews will probably be opposed by Collegian Suggs in the sec ond game of the Cracker series at Camp Jesup this afternoon Crews hasn't been scored on in IS innings now, while Golf findaffer has been knocked out twice. The Barons play in Atlanta today and tomorrow, returning here Tuesday for three games with the Crackers. We note with pleasure that Little Rock was beaten againt yesterday. The Tray elers are more to be feared than New Orleans, and unless they are stopped or the road they'll be hard to head wher they get back on their own stompins grounds.
 The Barons must win four of their
 next five games with the Crackers tc pass them in the league standing. Moley will probably stand pat on his pitching staff of Glazner, Morrison, Col findaffer. Sigman and Crews until the end of the season. All are youngsters coming without the pale of the Class A regulation

VOLS AND LOOKOUTS STAGE GREAT CAME Twenty-Inning Battle Is Ended by a Lightning
 Double Play
BY BOB McDAyID

Nashville, Tenn, July 12.-Nash-
 vile and Chattanooga played the longest game here today that was
 ever played to decision on
 a Southern diamond. The contest
 went 20 innings and ended in
 victory for the visitors, 6 to ,,
 after the Vols had staged a des-
 perate rally in their part of the
 twentieth, which netted them one
 run. The tying run was on third
 when Hodge, who went in to hit
 for Decatur, hit into n lightning
 double play. The game lasted
 three hours and 31 minutes.
 Lakenau started for the locals and was touched for five hits and three runs in the five innings he workei. He was relieved by Decatur in the sixth and the latter went through into the twentieth, when he gave way, to a pinch hitter Lohman went the first 15 innings for the Lookouts and was charged with allowing the locals f5 hits and runs. Rube Marshall worked. the last five innings and held the Vols to five safe hits.
 Sensational support was given every pitcher, five double plays being made. Dunning, in left field, was credited with 12 putouts, five of them being in succession and all of them of a flashy variety
 Chattanooga scored twice in the opening round and Nashville promplly tied it in their half. The Vols added another in the third and Chattanooga tied it in the fifth. The Lookoues scored again in the sixth and the Vols tied it in the eighth. From that until the twentieth neither side scored.

From The Berlin to Basdad Line" by

 It is eight or nine hundred miles, as I estimate fromfi the Euphrates to Con- stantinople, if one follows the course of the Bagdad railroad, whose track is laid part of the way where the feet of the '.Ten Thousand" had marched. where St. Paul had tramped in his first and second missionary journeys, and where God frey of Bouillon. Tancred, Baldwin, Ray mond and Bohemond had passed, and Frederick the First had perished.
 In my anabasis eff I may give my lone- ly expedition a name so ambitious and yet co contemhed by many youth) from the Euphrates toward Constantinople I had to make circuitous journey, as did St. Paul from Damascus. I went first from Aleppo to Damascus, then to Jeru- salem, then Haifa (near old Caesarca where St. Paul took ship, and then by sea to Beirut and Mersina, on the coast of Asia Minor. few miles from St. Pals home town Tarsus. which was also the same town as that toward which the call to Ninevah. But the reader would. I fear. find this an uncomfortable and perhaps a tiresome trip. even to read of, for I travelled most of the way in freight cars (of the type known to our soldiers in France, accommodating "45 hommes or 8 chevaux'y on a trawler (which was absolutely the most uncom- fortabe means of transportation that I have ever endured) and on a British de stroyer'' which might very fitly have borne St. Pauls name before he changed it, in the days when he was breathing out threatening and slaughter"
 There is a shorter and less indirect way. for. speaking generally. there is no direct way from one place to another in that part of the world. (rhis is possibly the reason why the street in Damascus called Straight" got it's distinguishing name.
