The reports of DR.. j. c. Doolittle
as chairman, and of H. E. Schreiner
as treasurer of the theatre committee
were presented, adopted and ordered
printed, and upon motion by Aid.
Barnett, seconded by Aid. Bennett. a
vote of thanks for their excellent
showing was given to the committee,
composed of Dr. J. G.. Doolittle, H E..
Schreiner and H c. Orion.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
! Council, City of Lancaster:
Your theatre committee respectfully
submit the following report:
Grantland Theatre has been in use
siXty-five times. Forty-eight of these
have been shows and other entertain
ments, and the other seven were the
Kiwanis Builders Days, baccalaureate
and commencement exercises, Memoir
ial day exercises, band concerts, etc.
Grantland Theatre has served up
proXimately forty thousand people
since its opening a little over a year
ago.
Our aim and policy has been to have
the building used by as many people
as possible and at the same time to
produce such revenue as was cOnSiS-
tent with the services rendered. No
! level headed citizen will expect this
venture to pay a financial dividend
but it should pay and we believe it has
paved a big social dividend to the
whole community, in service, safety
and comfort.
Owing to unusual conditions in the
theatrical world, it has been very diff
ficult to book high class attractions.
but this situation is improving and
this community has demonstrated to
us that they approve of and will sup
port the high class shows and enter
tainments. The engagement of the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra was
perhaps the outstanding feature of
our season and one which did the COM
munity the most good both from with
| in and without. We feel that future
committees should recognize the fact
| that they must keep constantly after
| the public to see that all classes have
equal opportunity to use the building
and in this manner the venture will
never become the white elephant so
much predicted, but will grow in pop
ularity and value and be productive of
immeasureable good to this entire
community.
Grantland club rooms have been in
use two hundred and fifteen times.
The main users have been the Ameri-
can Legion and Woman's Auxiliary of
same, the Lancaster Woman's Club,
Kiwanis Club, IZaak Walton League
and Boy Scouts. Other users have been
our adjacent townships for elections
and caucuses, the Grant Co. Medical
Society," different church organiza-
tions, and it has been used a few
times for private parties and four
times for public dances.
Grantland club rooms have served
upwards of ten thousand people in the
past year and while this use has not
been productive of much revenue, it
| has proven to be a real community
center.
We wish to acknowledge our indebt-
edness to the American Legion, Wo-
mans club and Kiwanis club for their
donations and cooperation, and es-
pecially to Dave Spaith for his splen-
did services as the depreciation on the
building has been almost nothing due
to his excellent work. Others who have
been of considerable assistance to us
are F. P. Barnett, Will Kerr and Jos.

NEW AQUATIC STAR
RISES IN HUNGARY

Stephan Barany Of Hungary, the
greatest free style sprinter ever de.
veloped in Europe, has stepped into
the ranks Of the worlds foremost
swimmers. At water carnival in
Budapest recently he hung up new
Hungarian records for 30 and 100
meters. thrashing the shorter distance
in 0:26 Is. the longer in :O1.
These striking achievements fully
established his rating as a champion
of international class. John Weissmul-
Ter, of the Illinois A. c., is the only
swimmer who has demonstrated abil.
ity to consistently beat the quoted
times under standard conditions, or i'll
pools of 20 feet and upward.
As Barany is youth, almost at
the outset of a competitive career, and
has improved steadily within the last
year there is good reason to believe he
will be a dangerous contender for
Olympic and other international sprint
laurels hereafter.

STAR, COMES HIGH

Frank Emmer, shortstop with the
Seattle club Of the Pacific Coast
League, who has been obtained by the
Chicago White Sox cost $4,000 and
either Spencer Harris or Roy Elsh,
outfieldcrs. Joe Cantillon, scouting for
the White SOx, saw Emmcr perform
so brilliantly that he Immediately rec
commended him to Manager Eddie Col
Inns.
Emmer has always been a favorite
with Seattle fans for the amount OF
dash and willingness he displays In
the field. He makes his share of err
rors, but many of them are on balls
that few other infielders would start
after. He has not the utter smooth
ness of the fully developed inficlder,
but his tremendous native ability
promises to develop him into a real
star with more experience and careful
grooming.
With the bat he was always pretty
fair. clicking the onion for a mark
of DOB last season. This year he has
struck his hitting stride, and seems
likely to get over the 300 mark.
His speed on the bases helps his
hitting more than little, and he has
been getting many extra bases that
would be impossible to anyone not SO
shifty on the hOOf.

SECOND IN RACE AT

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y,
Aug. 22.-There was many a heart
throbbing when the finish Of the
sixth race came along, for dropping
in second place was Son Ami. There
was many a player wishing he had
anything from a case note TO a saw
buck on this colt, for he paid 200 to
1 for second money. He scared from
100 to straight to 500 to i, but
nobody, not even the staggering player
of yore, had a penny on him.
There was quite some palpitation
among the players as they scanned the
slips to see if anybody had slipped
them a ticket on Son Ami. Not n
soul, so Son Ami only holds the
record of being the highest quoted
horse around here since May. j.
scampered home at 1000 to 1 against
her.
This neglected colt is imported from
France. He came over with the
bunch bought by Tom MeCreery for
the late julius Fleischmann.

TOO MUCH PRAISE PUTS
"HIGH HATS" ON STARS

"How do you get that way!" is an
inelegant but pertinent way TO put n
protest against the high-hatted airs
that are assumed by many successful
athletes.
Harry Wills, not SO mtny years
ago, was wrestling freight on the
docks for $50 a week. When he
sailed for Europe on one OF the
best transatlantic liners to have Il
good time he had a drawing ac-
count of at least $250,00O.
How did he get it?
From the generous support Of
the press, support that perhaps was
Justified only by the desire of edi-
tors to give him a square deal.
NEVER GREAT FIGHTER.
Wills never was great fighter.
He isn't q great fighter and at his
age it is not likely that he ever
will be a great fighter. Yet for
ycars-ever since Jack Dempsey
won the heavyweight championship
in 1910-Wills has been supported
by countless columns Of space in
the newspapers WulCu ucltHutu u!S
right to the claim as the first chal-
lenger.
The fear that racial troubles
might arise if there were any
grounds for the belief that Wills
was not getting square deal
caused many writer's to go to the
opposite extreme against their bet
ter judgment and it made Wills a
wealthy man.
When he was getting ready to
sail, a newspaper man asked the negro
for an interview. 1t wouldn't have
taken ten minutes of his time, but
Wills said he was too busy to be
bothered.

SWAT DRILL HURTS
STYLE OF PITCHERS

Pitchers say that batting practice
spoils them. Pitching to batters in
the daily practice cramps their style.
To pitch to batters in practice
means laying the hall over the plate
with nothing on it. Any time the
pitcher hooks one ne is called down.
ANY amount of this kind Of pitching
means that the pitcher gets into the
habit of laying the ball over, and he
sometimes docs it unconsciously when
called on to pitch in game.
