neither would weaken the club.
Hobby was introduced to major

Clark Griffith, who knows all ABOUT

quite as good a batsman as Judge.
There is. no place in Boston for him

than either Hobby or Judge. He

last year. he will hardly be missed

Schultz can be little more than
pinch h-hitter and utility outfielder.
He is reported to be undecided about
returning to organized baseball and
planning TO remain with the Dalti-

Schultz is a veteran who has seen
his best days. When lie was let
out by the Phillies in the fall of 1917
he was thought TO be through with
the large leagues. However, he sign
ed with the Griffmen and filled the
bill acceptably, though he must ad-
nit that the American League offer
ed little major league baseball last
year. But what he was supposed to
do, he did, and he is a fsvorite with
the fans on that account

a heroine all the way through and a
hero who is right on the job every
minute of the time. Then, too, there
is some of the very best comedy ever
given at the theatre.
Just imagine one man by the name
Of Butts and another by the name of
Hockstein trying to win the hand
Of Widow Clancy. That is what
happens as one Of the side plots of
THE Girl and the Outlaw" and what
these two men go through to capture
the widow and her money is worth
going a long way to see. 1t isn't fair
to tell who wins out, but it is an in
teresting contest.
The main story, of course. concerns
Belle Clayton (Ann Kingsley and
Case Marcum Cal. Luttringer) who
are members of two families that for
years have kept up a feud in which
most of the members have been killed
off. The heavy" in the play is Gabe
Stetson civilian Laveau), the head
Of a band of night riders who keep
the whole countryside in terror.
Gabe is very DESTROYS of possessing
the beautiful Belle and leaves no
trick untried to accomplish his end
and at the same time, he tries to get
rid of Case who is about the only
obstacle in his path.
With the rise of the first curtain.
the story gets under way with a
bang that will bring the audience I'D
standing. There is no let-up in the
incidents and no slackening in the
thrills until the final curtain. The
comedy is mixed with the serious
part of the drama in just the right
proportion. If the audiences that are
sure to crowd the theatre are not
brought to their feet and If the gal
lery gods don't whistle and applaud.
then American theatre-goers have
lost their pep" and it may be said
that audiences have changed indeed.
A fitting companion to this melo-
drama is Over the Garden Walr' a
big Vitagraph special that will be
the feature of the photoplay portion
