Nellie Gill Players
Delight Audience

That charming comedy "The
Travelling Salesman" was given by
the Nellie Gill players at the Co
lonial theater Wednesday evening
and delighted the fair sized aud
ince that attended. 1t Is a pity that
a larger number Of people DO not
attend these bigh-claSS plays as
acted by experienced and talented
people. If St Johnsbury wants
clean wholesome dramatic, now is
the time to encourage the regular
coming of he Gill PualyerS. They
will return on July , with that
sparkling play "Too Many Crooks"
Owing to illness of Miss Gill,
Miss Madge Porter took the lead
ing part. She had only "a hours to
learn and rehearse her lines but
she proved her great ability by
mastering it in every detail and
gave thoroughly enjoyable per
fOrmance.

ELKS BEAT
AM. LEGION
BY 3 TO |
Sunset League Games
Developing Real
Baseball

The Elks come through with u
5 to 1 victory over the American
Legion team in the Sunset league
fracas at the Campus Wednesday
night before a good sized crowd of
fans. The game was a tie up to the
fourth when Hill, the twirler for
the Legion, was touched for three
hits, which with a base on balls
netted two runs for the Elks and
won the game.
The features of the contest were
a sensational catch of d fly ball
by Wright of the Legion team
and three fine put outs of long
drives by Stub Caswell at center
field. BY streaks there was some
real big league ball playing. In the
third Hill pitched but five balls.
Racette, the first man up, cracked
a long fly to Caswell. Matson fol-
lowed with a grounder to H. Page
who landed his man at first. Con
nors followed with a fly to H. Page
and the inning ended.
Sunset league baseball is a real
good attraction and there should be
larger crowds at the games. a real
baseball fan will get S1.00 worth
of enjoyment out of one of these
contests.
