TWILIGHT LEAGUE FURNISHING
SOME SNAPPY GAMES
Teams Are Evenly Matched and Games
Are Worthy OF Support
Clerks Shoe Shop |

The game between the Clerks and
Shoe Shop, Wednesday night, was the
best that the League has yet pro-
duced. The Clerks, stung by the re
cent defeats, have strengthened their
team and are now showing flashes
of class. In the second inning of
this game, the Shoe Shop scored thru
three inexcusable errors. Neither
side could score after this until the
seventh inning, when with two out,
Cheney for the Clerks reached first
thru an error, Tague hit a grounder
to short which was too hot to handle
and there were two men on. Pitcher
Lewis up, won his own game with a
clean single over second, scoring
Cheney and Tague. Lewis held the
Shoe Shop scoreless in their half and
the game was over. The battery
work of the Clerks was the feature
of the game The summary.

Motion Pictures for
Blind Soldiers
NEAR MIRACLE has bee,

A NEAR MIRACLE has been
~ performed at the Red Cross
- institute for the blind in Bal
timore by devising a plan whereby
the sightless may enjoy Topics of
the Day." one of the most popular
motion picture subjects of the times.
This has been accomplished by
Charles F. F. Campbell, assistant di-
rector Of the institution, and Timely
Films, Inc, the producers of this
program selected from the press Of
the world by the Literary Digest.
Every day summary of current
events is read to the blind soldiers
who are receiving their education at
this Red Cross home. The more
serious problems of the day are dis
cussed during the first part of the
period. Then Directors Campbell
reads the gems of humor from the
Topics of the Day" programs.
IF you could only have heard our
boys9laugh," writes Mr.. Campbell in
a letter to The Bee, relating the re-
ception given the first presentation
of the subject. ut is greatly appre-
ciated. 1 doubt if any audience
would be more appreciative."
The origin of this plan may be
attributed to the popularity of
Topics of the Day" itself, as a
number ~of the blind buddies who
had heard their friends talk about it
asked Director Campbell to secure
programs for the institution. Such
a request naturally brought forth
hearty response and the weekly pro-
