degrees above zero. They do little
gardening, but raise lots of fruit.

AT CAPITOL

One Of the greatest character
actors of the screen, Wallace
Berry, has his greatest role in the
swift-moving action, mystery dra-
ma, Chinatown Nights" which
plays its last engagement tonight
at the Capitol. It is a role demand
ing an infinite amount of power
and resource and Berry brings to it
all the force and skill which has
led by step by step up the ladder
to screen success.
Chinatown Nights" deals with
the love Of a scintillating woman
of society for a course, brutal, cyni-
cal white man who rules a million
Chinese through the national tong
organization. This love drags the
woman down to the gutter of
Chinatown'S underworld until, fl
nally, her pitiable condition arouses
a responsible chord in the white
boss of Chinatown. Together they
seek regeneration.
In this setting of intrigue, mys-
terry and absorbing suspense, Flor
ence Vidor performs one Of her
most dramatic parts. She is sup
erb in the difficult role which turns
her from a bright social butterfly
into an abject creature. too de-

Fuller, long regarded as possible

by accident" that his arrival will
coincide with that of Henry T..
Stimson, the new secretary Of state.
The former governor has been in

Apparently the only question I'M
settled is whether Stimson will ap-

Big league umpires have many
intricate plays to call during the
course of a season, but it is the
umpires in the smaller circuits, the
so-called tank towns, that have the
real tricky decisions to render.
The peculiar conditions of small
parks bring about situations that
might appear laughable to the ma
lor league fan, but unfortunately
are very real to the man calling
EN- in the bushes.
1t was when / was scouting for
the Tigers that the following mix
up turned up in a game in central
Ohio between two twilight league
teams.
A runner on first attempted to
steal. The Catcher's throw was high
and the second baseman, taking it
one-handed. slapped his glove on
the sliding runner. In doing so he
lost grip and the ball trickled into
the breast pocket of the base run
ner.
Either the boy vas confused or
was smart enough to realize the
situation, for he leaped to his feet,
rushed to third and then scored
while all the infielders were franti-
cally searching for the missing ball.
1t was then that the ball was dis
covered in his pocket. The defen-
sive team appealed to the umpires
to call him out on the ground Of
interference. This the umpire re-
fused to do. He was then urged to
send the runner back to first base,
and after a comical delay of con-
sulting the rule book the umpire
made his own decision. He sent the
runner back to second base.
Curiously enough, National and
American league umpires have diff
fered on the proper ruling on this

FORT WORTH. March 21.-Coach
Dutch" Meyers Purple diamond
squad took their first tilt Of the
season last week when they downed
the strong Frisco team, n of the
best sandlot teams of the city, 1876.
The offensive work of the Frogs was
especially pleasing to Meyer, and the
Purple showed real punch when hits
yer needed to bring in TALES.
The mound work Of Rob Ell Cox
also gratified the Purple fans. The
big right-hander showed dazzling
fast balls, mixed with a nice curve
and change of pace. He held the
railroad team to three hits, we'll
scattered. 1t is CoX's first year
on the team, he having got a late
start last season and failing to de-
velop as expected. This year he got
off to a whirlwind start and bids
fair to make the best hurler on the
team. Ellsworth Chappell also
worked well, but was hit rather free
~. He also has been showing a
world Of stuff.
Ralph Buster" Walker, Frog
mound ace, did not see action IN the
first tilt but is ready to 60 and will
probably get the call in the next
practice game.
Ed Sain. first-year catcher,
showed might with the club, sock
ing out two hits, one of which was a
double, and counting for several
TALES. Gene Turner, short stop,
Floyd Dorsey, second and Horace
Wallin, first, also turned in nice
performances both in the field and
at bat.
Several practice games have been
arranged and the Frogs will be busy
the remainder of the week, either
playing games among themselves or
taking on sandlotters or profess
siOnal squads.
