CITY HALL man
WATCHES ARGUS
DEFEAT PHELPS

WELDING vicious sticks and held
ing with errorless precision, The
Argus baseball team yesterday
staged a demonstration which sent
Earl Shannon, city hall scout, back
to headquarters with a gruesome
tale Of the to 1 defeat handed the
Phelps Light & Power company.
Anticipating q tough battle wnen
they meet The Argus Saturday,
the city dads sent Shannon out 10
pick the weak spots on which to
work in Saturdays carnage. But
the impregnable front which faced
the Phelps men, retiring batters
and runners with fulsome assort-
ment of magnificent pitching by
Clark Means and alright fielding
showed no faulty link. 1t was too
much for Earl. Before the fourth
inning his courage failed and new
base umpire had to be sought, as
he HE'D himself to town with the
awful details.
LOBBY was the bright light fol
The Argus, both in his offensive
and defensive work. Besides pain
of clean triples. he performed spec
tacularly at shortstop. Clark Means
twirled in excellent form for thu
winners.
With the customary Nothing
new" the moguls of the municipal
ity refuse to comment on the har
rowing report of Shannon.
To retell the tale Of the Phelps
fracas would be but heaping trou
bles upon the worried opposition
who will tremble before The Ar
gus men Saturday. However. tn

Going Some" Deals With Sporting Feud Between Two Rival Ranches in
 the West

Going Some the latest Goldwyn. Beach production, which will be shown at the Lyric this week, was directed by Harry Beaumont who was formerly director of Tom Moore. The story is based On tne stage success written by Rex Beach in collaboration with Paul Armstrong and which MT. Beach later lrewrote as d novel.
 Going Some" deals with the sport ing feud between two rival ranches in the great southwest, where a Yale athlete comes out of the east and is called on to live up to his reputation, win the prize and win the girl. Sprout |. ing oil wells and the struggle for wealth form a picturesque background. Three girls figure in the sporting events and the life of the hero. Go ing Some" lives up to its name in reg ular Rex Beach style.
 Of the three girls in the cast Lillian Hall and Helen Ferguson have been selected. Miss Hall was a Brooklyn high school girl who gained her stock experience in Philadelphia and then began her screen career. Miss Fer guson's first screen parts were on the Chicago lot when the Windy City had hopes of being rival to southern California. At eighteen she had also qualified as a scenario writer. and is a poster designer besides having a pro- fessional acquaintance with music.
 The hero of Going Some is Cullen Landis. whose work in The Girl From Outside" has scored with critics the country over. At the same time Rex Beach now has a former Yale athlete known as Lefty" Flynn who is being initiated into screen acting.
 After interviewing a number of the screens most prominent leading men, Goldwyn chose Kenneth Harlan to play the role of Capt. Donald Reap in the story. MT. Harlan is six feet Of athletic build, good looks and engag ing personality. He has been in pie lures little more than three years, and during that time has won his way into the affection of the public through his strong, manly characterize tions and likeable presence. His first ap- pearance before the picture camera was under the guiding hand of D. w. Grif- fifth, who cast him as leading man for Constance Talmadge.

 It had been a romantic courtship, N Ailsa Dayne was supremely happy on her wedding eve. For Knox Randall had been an ardent wooer. He had been considered catch" by society matrons, and many were the mothers who had schemed to land him in their net-and not few were the daughters who had made secret casts for him.
 But Knox Randall had a will of his own and he was not to be lured by any of their tempting bait. Instead he paid ardent suit to Ailsa, who had been elu- sive and retiring. He had wooed her like a cave man, rough and masterfully, anu she was delighted when he seized her so fiercely that it took her breath and whispered, You are mine. You belong to me.
 Came the wedding and the glorious then Ailsa received the shock of her life, for this brilliant hils- band of hers was slipping. It was always the offiee-business. He grew lax in his attention, his kisses grew perfunctory. as though it were his duty.
 The climax came when 9lsa, wishing to be reassured of his love, unwisely telephoned him at his office and de- manded that he tell her if he loved her. Knox was game and said it, but he was furious, for it was in the midst ot a directors meeting, and he was laughed at. After the storm Ailsa was very quiet. No more did she demand the morning kiss. And the daily call over the tele- phone ceased.
 Knox missed it vaguely, not realizing exactly what was the matter. For while he loved his wife. he could not under stand that anything was seriously the matter, that she craved affection.
 And the days drifted by until he was suddenly awakened by rude shock, for he casually picked up card with some

The Wonders of Dew

Hereward Darlington, in Leslie's.
 A countryside covered with dew is one of the most beautiful sights which the eye of man ever perceived .'Dewy Eve" is no mere figment of the poets imaG nation, since the dew always falls a~r- CT sundown As a matter of fact how ever the dew does not "fall' at all, but 'i ' nosite as the sun sets and as the surface of the earth. and everything upon it, begins to cool It is very curi- ous and interesting precipitation for the pearly dewdrops form upon the leaves of trees. the blades of grass, the fine hairs on the caterpillar, and on everything which is fine and pointed The reason we sometimes have deposit of dew in the evening" at the end of a perfect Gsummer) day is that, on these days, the humidity is high, or the amount of moisture in the atmosphere is excessive, If it is dry, there Is no dew. But if there is much moisture in the air, We have this phenomenon During the daytime, when the sun is shining. it's rays keep the tiny particles of mois- ture dancing about at high speed; they do not have chance to settle anA- where; they are in constant agitation, like boiling water. But when the sun has set this dance of the atoms (of mosture) slows down; their agitations becomes less; and they tend to be de- posted on vestigation, leaves. grass, etc.. everywhere. Especially is this the case with all finely pointed objects or thin, gossamer-like substances, such as a spiders web Then we have the most beautiful effects. If the weather becomes excessively cold-below the freezing point-during the precipitation of the dew then we have 'hoar-frost' covering the leaves, the grass and the country side. This is one of the most beautiful sights in nature. Fog is caused by somewhat similar atmospheric conditions when the air is heavily laden with moisture. and a tis,y drop o water ad- heres to each particle of dust which we see in the atmosphere, dancing aiA0at merrly in the sunbeam. Experiments Sy Sir Oliver Lodge showed that, up to a certain point; fog could be dispersed hv electric waves. If the air be dry, and the electric current very powerful the dust particles become red-hot and glow with white heat; and this is the cause of the lightning flash which we see m thes ky. The visible lightning really consists of a series of dust part icles in the path of the electric discharge which have been heated to the white heat The moisture in the air is the cause of Humidity" dampness, Scotch-mist and finally rain: and if it is very cold at the time, we have snow, sleet and hail instead-frozen rain.

John Drinkwater

1 In Everybody's Alexander Wolcott ln
 writing of the history of the play called l "A braham Lincoln, which after more
 than year of forecasts and forebodin gs,
 was finally received in Washington and
 New York with such praise and enthus- 1 iasm. says: "Drinkwater's play was q
 natural product of the war and of the l disposition experienced through many ! trying months by all men who know
 Lincoln, to turn to him for guidance and comfort and reinforcement-a disposition felt not only by the Birmingham writer
 and by Lloyd George but by many an
 Englishman throughout the world.
 Not curiousity nor amusement only,
 but something of the thrill all Americans felt when. in the critical hour of the old ! empires history, the prime minister | took the verse from Lincoln as the text of his speech to anxious mankind, was I felt again when word came across the i Atlantic that all London was sitting l wideeyed before a Lincoln play.
 'The John Drinkwater who wrote it was already known to American readers of minor poetry as singer of grace and imagination. The son of actor and
 manager. he had, through the lean years. tried his hand at one or two tragedies He was. moreover. director of the rep ertory theatre in Birmingham. which rivals in importance and aspiration the similar enterprise conducted by Miss Horniman at Manchester.
 "Returning home from the western front where his king has used him in
 the summer of 1918 as a reader to the
 troops, Drinkwater was all for writinc a play that would satisfy his craving to
 express some justification of the war some interpretation of a peoples right
 eous wrath War nobly directed for noble ends-that was it. And who but Lincoln could serve the central figure.
 Such a play had been vaguely in Drinkwater's mind for several years and the task was only matter of three weeks. After it was produced at his own theatre certain newspapers of weight like the Birmingham Post and the Man chester Guardian, hailed the advent of an interesting and possibly a great play But news of it did not cause much stir in America until it was brought to Ham, mersmith. suburb of London. and set up there in a theatre run as hobby bv 1 the English novelist Arnold Bennett in conjunction with Nigel Playfair."
