a success of a couple of
the st. Louis Browns newcom-
ers, Raymond Watson Pepper
and Harland Benton Cliff, is
one good reason why Rogers
Hornsby's club is up at the head
of the American Leagues second
division and threatening daily
to go higher.
Neither was a 300 hitter in the
minor leagues last year, Pepper bat
ting .295 with Rochester and Cliff
273 with San Antonio, but both have
been well above that level against
American League pitching so far as
the 1894 season has gone.
Between them, this pair or recruits
accounted for eight runs yesterday as
the Browns slammed out a 12-to-7
decision ever the Detroit Tigers to
regain their 500 place in the
standings. Pepper had perfect day
at the plate. hitting his fouth and
fifth homers of the season and three
singles to knock in five tallieS. Cliff
also hit for the circuit and drove in
three runs.
Indians Add to Lead.
TINE other American League con-
| tests were marked by nifty
pitching as Cleveland increased
its lead over the idle Yankees by shut
ting out Chicago to 0 and Boston
broke sixth place tie with Philadel-
phia by taking a 2-1 decision from
the Athletics in a game shortened to
seven innings by rain. Mel Harder
blanked the pale hose with five blows
for his first victory of the season,
while Johnny WEIGH held the AS to
"a homer by Bob johnson and a
single by Lou Finney.
The idlenesS of the four Western
clubs enabled the New York Giants
to register an important gain in the
National League as they defeated their
Brooklyn neighbors 4 to 3.
The other National League contest
saw the Boston Braves down the
PhillieS to 4.

1t had been circulated that Mr.. Morris
Davis would make another attempt to
head a parade of protesting citizens to
the Government Building last night. The
police were determined to prevent any
such nocturnal visits and were there IN
such numbers and so armed for the pur'
pose of compelling obedience from these
who would slight their orders.
From other sources we learned there
was no intention to approach the Lieu
tenant Governor at his Executive Build
ing and that tine police had been so in
formed.
A wise course was pursued in post
pon.ng the meeting last night. as the
situation on the very surface seemed too
delicate to trifle with.

Mass Meeting Postp oned
GORDON OF POLICE ARMED TO
THE TEETH IN MARKET.

Hundreds of citizens assembled IN the
Public Market. Chrisriansted. last night
where mass meeting was TO be conduct
ed under the auspices Of the Roosevelt
Garner Democratic Club.
These public meetings have now be-
come a part of the community life and
whether they are politically or socially
healthy for the populace the people
themselves must decide If this assem-
bling of the people is menaclng the puo-
lie neaee. that is question for the OF.
ficers of the peace to ponder over. There
is not the least doubt in our mind that
much of what is said at these meetings
is distasteful to some people and arouses
the luminosity and resentment OF others.
For the great mass of the people 1t is so
much diversion from the monotoneus
small town life.
A few policemen are always present
at public meetings. even II such meet
ings are conducted by the Salvation
Army or the Seventh Day Adventist.
Last night. was the first time Within
our memory nat large number OF po-
ficemen. armed to the teeth were pre-
sent at a public meeting:
Fine Christiansted division was reen-
forced by policemen from Frederiksted
and from Kings fill. They carried pls'
tolls and they carried rifles. 1t machine
guns were Is be included they did not
arrive in time. and then it might have
caused delay teaching the boys how to
operate these engines of death and
destruction.
1t is known that these officers of the
peace act only under orders. and should
not be blamed for appearing at the Mar
{ ket place in full uniform and well armed.
So we do not propose to say word or
kcensure where these native boys are con-
scerned.
1 An effort was made to learn the cause
of this show of arms and this is what
we discovered:

The stars are also happily equipped
with musical score, including some
thing called Just Keep on Doing What
You're Doing" which the entire audi
ence seemed to know by heart ahead
of time last night No sooner had the
first strains of this Doing" ditty
doated from the screen than six likely
daughters who occupied seven seats to
the right of us tinCluding their mother
burst into the refrain-not able to re-
strain themselves from unbounded en-
thusiasm at hearing this song more
or less lin person"
The song is pretty good, and so is the
dln1-for that sort of tf1ing-and since
the antics include Thelma Todd and
Dorothy Lee. there is plenty on which
you may rest both your eyes and your
mind.
Miss Todd is lady who deserves
more attention than she ever gets. For
years now she has been tossed about
like a butter ball. For years she has
been beaten and bruised and invariably
situated so that now and again half Of
her wardrobe was salted away from her.
She has suffered more black eyes than
any female on the screen, and she has
been loved with more roughhOuse
ardor and less dignity than any of her
sister sirens. Yet through all of this
she has never done anything but smile
land if she boasts bruise she never
shows it.
For these reasons it seems time to
extol this blondine beauty who gets it
tn the neck and is seldom rewarded.
While she is less messed about in
~fIips, Hips, Hooray" than is her
custom. it seems obvious that the film
has been named in her honor, and that
she Is happy addition to the Wheeler
Woolsey family.
Her presence and the sight Of Dor
othy Lee clinging to chandelier. that

foolishness that surrounds the beauty

flm one of the lighter and sillier and
