A MATCH FOR BABE
RUTH

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 4.-Base
ball magnets have been trying to find
some way to find a nemisis foe for
Babe Ruth, the champion of cham
pions among the sluggers. 1t is said
if he is not stopped from losing balls
by knocking them into oblivion they
wont have enough with which to fin
ish the seasons games. Yet they can
not afford to take such a drawing
card as Babe out OF the national game
else the gate receipts will fade into
infinite nothingness.
According to the Associated Press
colored southpaw, member of the
Montgomery Grey Sox, a local col
ored team, would prove Babe Ruth's
master. Streeter is the name OF this
king pitcher. In a recent game played
with some of the greatest batters in
the Southern League this giant struck
out p men in succession. He did not
allow 4 single man to knock foul
ball. 1t is said that he has more
curve and better control than any
other man who has tossed a ball.

Kansas City, Mo.-The first day
play at the far west city was an event
ful one from many points OF view i'll
the first inning, for Chicago, Torrentti
smashed out slashing triple with two
on and set the large crowd dippy; in the
Monarch's half of the same inning, Nc
Nair duplicated the feat OF our center
gardener: then Grant and Donaldson
staged a first fight in which many cops
ball players and fans nearly played an
interesting part The affair amounted
to Grant putting the big southpaw to
the ground and then both were banished
from the game. The Monarchs looked
to have the game all sewed up; in fact
they did have it all stacked away with a
comfortable lead of to 2 which pre-
vailed until the eighth; then things be
gan to eventuate Six hits, few mis-
takes. a stolen base or so put the Windy
City BOYS up 10 even terms and they
took the fray in the ninth after outgam-
ing the westerners causing the latter to
display the unmistakable signs OF quits.
Johnson worked for the Chicago crew
and Currie shot for the home gang. The
Chicagoans are right on edge Tor the
toughest gruelling extant, and before the
present series is finished there is gong

COlORED GOLF STARS
MAKE PROTEST

Jackson Park Coli Club is member
OF the Western Coli Association. Last
year in order to eliminate colored play
ers rule was enforced that all par
Elephants must be members OF properly
constituted clubs.
The colored players met this require
ment by organizing the Windy City
Coli Club Association. The further re-
striction made this year was that the
club must be affiliated with the Western
Coll Association This is almost i'm
possible for a colored club to be ad-
mitted in the Western Coli Association
for its card admits its holder to play
on any course within the membership.
Jackson Park is a public golf ground
which is operated by the South Park
Commissioners. The rule says that no
special privileges or permits will be
granted to any club or society. This
rule is broken when the Jackson Park
Coli Club is granted special permit to
hold their Championship games.

action has been taken to prevent Rob

Audiences who have been impressed
by the aristocratic bearing of the
y1tled characters in the dinner party
an Hour" the Paramount photoplay in
which Dorothy Dalton is appearing
Tuesday and Wednesday at the Wash
ington theater, will doubtless be inter-
sested to learn that the persons who
played these parts were no regular
motion picture actors but actually had
high sounding titles of their own.
They all happened to be friends of
Director Harley Knoles, who is him
self an Englishman. and, when he told
. them he was eager to get an arlsto-
cratic setting for Barries masterpiece,
they consented to go into the picture
as a lark.
, II The Marchioness dele Chiuse, a
member of an old New York family
who has lived in Italy many years,
enjoyed her experience so much that
she is now preparing to seek the road
to stardom. A member of an old Ma
: poleon family, the Countess de Cas-
telvecchio, who has had wide exper-
fence on the stacy and is known to
the public as Elouina Oldcastle, but
who has been absent a number OF
years, comes back in Half an Hour.
Frank Arundel. from the famous
old Norfolk family in England, who
served in the English artillery with
the rank of major for the last five
years, was the only gentleman OF

4 MURRETTE.
Marjorie Daw, the pretty little mo-
ton picture actress, who is seen in a
leading part in "Dinty' at the Muir
Tette Theatre, declares she went
through the most squeamish exper-
sence of her career during the making
of that film. -
She plays the part of Ruth White
~, daughter of Judge Whitley. who
has incurred the deadly enmity of
king" Dorkh, Malay half-breed and
leader of gang of highbinders. Dorkh
kidnaps the judges daughter and
plans terrible revenge for the sent
ence of his son. Ruth is strapped to
a table under a swinging pendulum
with razor edge. The fiendish con-
trivance drops just an inch every time
it swings, coming nearer and nearer
the strapped victim. "Dinty" O'Sul-
Ivan, a newsboy, and his Chinese
friends, however, bring about a rescue
in the nick of time and Ruth is re-
stored to her father and fiance.
Acting that scene was the most
nerve-racking experience l have ever
had" said Marjorie. "Of course,
knew that everything would come out
all right, but just the same had cold

Shirley Mason is surely a winsome
figure in her Fox production, Girl OF
My Heart" which had it's first local
showing at the Murray treatre Thurs
day night before a large and appreci-
alive audience.
Miss Mason is charming as Joan-a

from there by cruel guardian. I'm
able to stand further abuse Joan runs
away, and happens into the southern
home of Rodney White, young mus
ician who, in despair over ill-health, Is
about to kill himself. How the little
runaway girl brings sunshine into the
life of the young man-who adopts her
as a sister against the wishes, of his
puritanical aunt, forms the basis of a
delightful romance.
