There is one family of birds in

B|C RECEPTION |s GIVEN GREAT TENOR'S
 PICTURE AT THEATRE

From the opening scenes of Song O'My Heart to the final notes of the voice of it's star, John Mccormack, at it's close, the audience which heard and saw it at it's first performance in the Liberty Theatre last evening, treasured every moment of it. In the skill with which the voice of the great tenor has been record ed, in the expert direction and in the fine human elements of the story itself, this rates as an ex- ceptional picture and splendid entertainment.
 A great many in the audience which practically filled every seat were moved to alternate laughter and tears, signifying the intensity of their appreciation of the vocal numbers
 The attendance was introduced to Jchn Mccormack as talentd singer in a little Irish village, Saddehed by an early disappoint- ment in love. The girl, following the dictates of domineering aunt, married another. The role is beautifully enacted by Alice Joyce, and Maureen O'Sullivan and Tommy Clifford give delight full performances as her two children.
 Ultimately, Mccormack goes to America as orld-famouS sin ger, and finally returns to bring happiness to the daughter of the woman he loved, by aiding her choice in marrying the man of her choice.
 Excellent performances are con- tributed by J. M. Kerrigan, Far rell Macdonald and the entire cast, and the picture is photo graphed with unusual beauty.
 The same performance will be this evening and tomor- row night for the last time. Sat- urday and Sunday a new pro- gram will be offered.

Campbell Church, big game hunter, yachting enthusiast and all-round sportsman, has solved the problem of furnishing a com fortable boat on which Eastern sportsmen can make their head quarters while cruising from place to place He maintains a fleet of yachts III the Alarwee, Westward, Rio Bonita, Pandora and NOOya- with headquarters at Ketchikan, Alaska, and provides luxurious cruises for sportsmen in their bear hunts, etc.
 MT. Church says, in the Ketchi- kan Tribune, that when I first came to Alaska on a private hunt ing trip some years ago became immediately enthuSed-as does al- most every one who comes-With the opportunities which Alaska offers to the sportsman. At once l began to wish for the companion ship of a number of my friends whose appreciat tion of these things paralled my own, but I had to admit to myself that very few of them would find unalloyed en- ojyment in trip up here because of the hardshipS and discomforts necessarily attendant upon such an eXcurSiOn."

ten YACHTS READY
TO RACE ATLANTIC
TOWARD ENGLAND

Newport, r. L., July 3.-(UP)-
Ten yachts, the smallest only "a feet
long, will start from this port to-
morrow in hazardous transatlantic
race over 1850 nautical miles tc
Plymouth, England.
Plotted by amatuer shippers and
manned by amateur crews, the sleek
racing craft are expected to require
20 to 80 days to cover the course.
1t will be the first time in history
that such small yachts have COM
peted for prizes over the dangerous
northern route where storms aplenty
may be expected.
German Boat Late
Eight of the yachts are American
owned, the other two representing
England. 1t had been hoped that
the 55-foot German Ketchstoerte-
beker would reach here in time to
start, but delays on her cruise from
Europe to America probably will rob
her of an opportunity to compete.
The boats scheduled to start, with
their owners and dimensions, fol-
low:

Roosevelt. New York, waterline

With very few exceptions, the
team which holds the leadership on
July A has usually gone through to
win the pennant.
Last year on independence day
the Athletics held a three game lead
over Washington. This season they
will hold a three and one-half game
margin. The Cardinals have an edge
of one and one half contests on sec
ond place New York Giants. While
the margin is slight one, it is
enough to indicate that the Car
dinals are the team to beat for the
National league flag for they return
home July for a 25-game stand.
And the Cards are about as tough
as they come in their own ball yard.
A Nice Chance
st Louis has an opportunity to in
crease it's margin to-day, however,
by meeting Philadelphia in a double
header. They are the only games on
the major league schedule.
The Giants crept up to within a
game and a half of the leadership
yesterday when they defeated the
Cardinals to 2. Hogans home run
with two men on base in the fifth
inning brought about the downfall
of Hallahan.
Chicago also closed in on the
league leaders by turning back
Philadelphia 2 to l in eleven inn
the Cubs the run which broke up a
pitching duel between Bob Smith
and Ray Benge.
Strong in Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Robins made all of
their five hits off Silas Johnson
count to defeat Cincinnati 4 to g..
The Robins punched three doubles
with base on balls to score three
times in the sixth inning after
triple had accounted for
ru in the second.
Pittsburgh shut out Boston, l to
0 in the other National league con-
test. Heine Meme allowed the
Braves only five hits.
Washington gained a game on the
Athletics by defeating st Louis, 10
to S as Philadelphia los to Cleve-
land IL to 4.
The Senators pounded three
Brown hurlers hard while Crowder,
who had relieved Burke in the third,
held st Louis at Bay.
Hudlin allowed 13 hits in hurting
the Indians to victory but managed
to tighten up with men onb asses as
his mates hit Walberg, Earnshaw
and two Athletic rockies hard.
Plenty One-Sidcd
New York closed it's second west
ern invasion of the year with a 10
to l decision over the Detroit Tigers.
Home runs by Ruth and Chapman
featured the Yankees attack on Uhle
and Hoyt. Ruth's homer was his
10th of the season.
Tommy Thomas shut out Boston
with three hits as the Chicago White
Sox won to 0.

New York, July S.-They ex-

That's a Brooklyn fans cOncep-

The new seating capacity will be
tested for the first time. More
than 10000 reservations have al
ready been sold and all that are
left i'm the center field section
probably will be snatched up to-
day. Business Manager Dave Dris-
coll announces, however, that 25,-
900 general admissions will be on
sale at the grounds early to-mor-
row. The total seating capacity is
about 10000 and thousand will be
turned away.
The first game starts at 1880.
