"lIer Temporary Husband" at Lake.
wood Theatre Next Week

The central idea of Her Temper
airy Husband which is to be the
special Offering of the Lakewood
Players at the Lakewood Theatre all
next week, may be summed up in the
lines of the two principal characters
when the leading woman turns to the
leading man and says: you are my
temporary husband and his answer
is Yes, dear; but you are my tenn
porary wife.
Her Temporary HUSBAND in
which William Courtenay played the
principal male role, is one of the real
hits of last season in New York. a
comedy of side-splitting situations
and dialogue that fairly bubbles over
with merriment.
The story deals with a young wo-
man who is seeking a husband, pre-
ferably one who will die shortly, in
order that she may fulfill her fathers
will, marry some one besides the man
she really thinks she loved, and whom
htr father had objected to, secure the
money left her and then, after the
death of her temporary husband,
marry the man of her choice This
man II iilti tAg lllAtl toA'h III IL
money but she doesn't know this.
She goes to sanitarium and the
doctor in charge selects a man who is
likely to die any moment. UHbe-
known to them, Tom who loves the
girl but has never met her. bribes an
attendant to substitute him, disguised
as the dying patient, and so the cere-
mony is performed, the girl and her
conspirator still believing that she
has married the patient with both
feet in the grave
To go any further with the story
would be to spoil your evenings
entertainment Let it suffice that it
is riot Of merriment Youll like
the girl you'll like the man, you'll
be gripped by their quaint love story,
hut first. last and always, you'll
Laugh your sides off"

As lead-off man, Whitley Witt,
center fielder, of the New York
Yankees. will have a real chance to
aid in the winning of the worlds
series for the American League
champions.
Small of stature, he is a hard mar
to pitch for and his batting record
since the start of his major league
career is warning enough for pitch
ers. Many a first inning rally was
caused sby the leadoff man.
In center field, "Whitey" COM
pares with the best of them and he
easily takes in all the territory not
covered by Bob Meusel or Babe
Ruth. The fielding and batting of
Witt have been of real assistance to
the Hugmen in the winning of their
consecutive American League pen
nant.
If "Wally" Pipp or Babe Ruth
are prevented from playing in the
big series, the center fielder will be
depended on to assist in overcoming
the loss of the two. The loss of the
two batting and fielding stars, will
mean that Bob Meusel or Elmer

Tuesdays ard was practically the
first personally prepared by the To-
cal sports promoter, and great cred
it is due him for the success Of the
show. If Ernie Kohler, of Brook
Ign, had not injured his right hand,
the last bout would have been equal
ly as good as the semi-final.
Second Card
The second show of the National
Sport Club will be staged in the Au-
ditorium, a week from next Tuesday
night, and the matchmaker promises
even more action than was exhibit
ed in the opener. For one of the
main bouts, the matchmaker is to
obtain the services of Charley RYDER
the hard-hitting featherweight OF
Elizabeth and Staten Island. The
best man obtainable in the East will
be matched with the s%outhpaw box
er for the feature event on the next
card.
In addition there will be an eight
round semi-fina1 go, a six-rohnder
and three tours.
If the next show is put over big,

vor to bring the flyweight champion
of the world here for the third pro-

behind Reuther, the Dodger players
realizing what the victory meant to
their pitcher.

WARD
GOING GREAT
Expected to be Yankee Star
in Coming Ball
Series

Aaron Ward, second sacker of the
New York American League cham
pions. is a big cog in the machine of
Miller Higgins. The Yankees will
engage the Giants in the first game
of the annual worlds series next
Wednesday afternoon.
Outside of pitcher and catcher, the
second base position is one of the
most important on the baseball Tot.
The second sacker has to cover ter
ritory in right field, behind second
base and from the end of the first
sacker's ground to the second bag.
In addition the receiving of throws
from the catcher for men stealing.
is important.
Ward has held down this berth in
faultless style for the Hugmen and
his consistent fielding will be a big
help to the Yankees in their com
ing championship series. With the
stick, Ward cannot be labeled a
heavy hitter. but he is noted for his
ability to come through in a pinch.
He batted well in the last two cham
pionship series.
With Everett Scott rapidly fad
ing back, Ward Is of greater assist
ance than ever. Often times he as
sists the veteran shortstop in cover
ing up the backslide of the former
Boston Red Sox ball-tosser. Ward
will be one of the Yankee stars IN
this years series.

The New York Giants will carry
off the worlds baseball champion
ship for the third consecutive time,
within six games of the series TO be
started next Wednesday afternoon.
McGraw's team will not win IN
straight games aslast year, because

Ruth's improvement should be a
big help in stretching the series to
six games, but the battle the Giants
had to annex the Heydler title Will
not affect their showing in the big
series. Frisch, Groh and Young
should be the shining stars in this
years series.
