That the amateur actors pleased was apparent from the ire quent laughs of the spectators Every individual player contribut ed his best to make the produc- tion success-not only his best on the big night-but also during the five weeks of rehearsing which preceded it.
 Outstanding excellence was no ticeable in the character of Mrs Baxter, as portrayed by Allie Mic mi, who played her role with sym. pathetic understanding and in sight.

FORMER FOOTBALL STAR
 HEADING FOUR MAJORS

MACON, Ga, July 27.-"Phoney'' Smith, one of the greatest football heroes ever produced at Mercer university here, appears to be mak- ing name for himself in baseball on the Huntington, w. Va, club.
 Smith was said by some sport scribes to be among the south's greatest football and basketball players in his day at Mercer, but he took his baseball lightly.
 Now it appears that sport writers in Huntington and elsewhere re- gard "Phoney" as likely major league baseball prospect. One Hunt ington writer said he was the most under-rated ball player or the local club, where he is playing second base, and that he is the best big league prospect in the Fri State loop.
 They say Smith is a good fielder good hitter, has an excellent throwing arm and he goes around bases like fire around a celluloie collar.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 27.-A Min nesota father and his 19year-old son are shooting out friendly feud on gun ranges of the north west this summer.
 w. H. Fawcett, known for years as Captain Billy" captain and manager of the American trap shooting team at the 1924 Olympics, Is the father.
 Veterans in trapshooting are get ting a good laugh out of the fact that he is being pushed vigorously for his honors by his son, Roger, D University of Minnesota fresh- man, who first began a study ot the fine points of the game under his fathers guidance a year ago.
 Rapidly the son learned and in 1928, at the Grand American handl- cap at Vandalia, O., he was run ner up for the junior singles title of North America.
 In the Minnesota tourney just  completed the son was high gun in the state all-around event while his father was barely "one of those present" Roger also went into a tie for second place in the state Eingles
 Captain Billy" millionaire publisher, has decided to come back with all his energy to overcome his sons triumphs. He is back on the training grind he employed in pre- paration for the Olympics.
 He is a veteran of the Philippins insurrection and the world war and often goes on big game hunts in Africa.
 Excellence in trapshooting il based on consistency rather thar brilliancy in a single meet. Faw' cett, the elder, intends to be il every meet his son enters, and ther count up the score at the end O the year to determine the famil. championship. Fawcett, the son is agreed to that.
