BIRTH OF NATION YET
 MODEL FOR PRODUCERS

One of the contributory forces to the great success of D. W. Grffths screen classic, "The Birth of a Ma tion," which will be shown Friday and Saturday at the White Grand theatre. is the great cast which Americas foremost screen producer gathered for that spectacle, Gauged by their present earning capacities, the price of assemblying such cast would be positively prohibitiye. While there are thousands of others in "The Birth of Nation,' the leading roles were created by Henry B. Walthall, Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish, Miriam Cooper Mary Alden, Josephine Crowell, Spot iswoods Aiken, Ralph Lewis, Joseph Henabery, Raoul Walsh, Donald Crisp Howard Gave. George Sigeman, Wal ter Long and Elmer Clifton.
 After lapse of few years, dur ing which time it has been held as the comparative model for every big picture which has followed it, "The Birth of a Nation" stands out as the greatest screen achievement of the American picture world Its recent revival at the Capitol Theater, where it broke all records, again demonstra- ted its powerful appeal to the public It will be presented here exactly as given recently on Broadway and is still under the personal direction of the great Griffith, whose other works have attracted a deal of his time, but which have never diminished his in. terest in this first venture that SC thoroughly established his fame.

RIDDLES GET EVEN
 BREAK ON SERIES
TUSSLE LOOSELY PLAYED
Melton and Hawiey Fail 10 Stem Reddy Tide of Hits-"Bill' Earl
 Does Ruth Stunt.

Jimmy" Haygood's Reddies caught the Bulldogs on an off day and even- ed the series yesterday by coming out ahead in a loosely played game, s to 3. Hendrix took the count not so much because of faulty pitching as off color playing. Nall, a new conner on the mound, was touched up at times, but fared well except in the sixth when Burton belted out cir cult smash. Leming was on the paths and scampered in ahead of him.
 Henderson-B Browns scores are easi- ly accounted for. Three came over In the third on combination of three hits and two errors by the Bulldogs. Two more Hendrix errors and one hit pushed the count up by two in the fifth. Schisler and Leming with singles in the opener gave Hendrix one marker and Burton's heavy blow with Leming on put over the final scoring.
 "BilI' Earl, doing the receiving for the Bulldogs, smacked the longest hit ever seen on Russell field, but got credit for only a double. Bill" lam med the ball up against the far right field fence and was held at second by Rush's quick work His hit and sev- eral other details of the game, coupled with the joy of coming from Tues days battle, somewhat softened the sting of being licked by the Reddies.
