SEVERAL TRAINS
ANNULLED ON N.O.G.N.
Shortage of coal resulted in the
annulment of three trains on the N.
O. G. N. system, which went into ef
fect last Friday: The passenger
train leaving Bogalusa for Jackson
at 5:55 a. m. and returning here at
8:20, and the passenger train return
ing here from Tylertown at 3:40 p.m
and leaving at 6:40 p. m. have beer
in
annulled.
The freight service between Boga
lusa and New Orleans has been placed
on an every-other-day basis instead
of the daily service.
As a result of the annulment of
these trains there are about thirtv
railroad men idle, but it is "believed
that when the coal mines resume op
erations, the railroad business will be
brisk.

A photoplay which affords the star

a girls' reformatory will be seen at
the Magic City Theater Monday,
July 31, when Elaine Hammerstein's
latest Selznick Picture, "Handcuffs
or Kisses," will head an attractive
p : cture program.
Miss Hammerstein in this produc
tion portrays the part of a y»oung !
girl who is unjustly sentenced to a j
term in a large penal institution.
I While there, she is subjected to end- j
leäs indignities and cruel punishment
and when her rebellion brings about
a searching investigation into condi

into the story and the action acceler
ates until at the conclusion of he
play the picture is one of the swiftest
moving dramas in which this popu

The screen story, while purely fic
tional, is not unlike many others that
are daily being told in real life with
in the confines of certain large re
formatories and producing "Hand

woven into the plot much realism.
Thomas Edgelow wrote the story,

Locals Lose In
15-Inning Game
.. a £ ame filled with sensational
fielding and heavy hitting Bogalusa
was defeated by Amite in fifteen in-
nings last Sunday, the game being
played on Amite's new diamond. The
score was 10 to 9.
t, Ez f 11 ' who essayed to twirl for
* "°£ alusa > w as a miserable failure and
a
his poor work on the slab cost Bo
gaiusa what should have been a vie
tory. After being removed from the
£.°* and P'aced in right field, his poor
fielding allowed Amite to score two
runs and finally win the game. Bo
galusa was unfortunate in not being
able to secure Boyd to fill his job in
the outfield.
Amite secured a five-run lead in
the second inning on a base on balls,
a batter- hit and four successive hits
off Ezell, who at this juncture was
taken out, Lefty Verrett going to
the mound, Stevens to first and
Forbes to the outfield.
With this big handicap to over
come, through the steady pitching of
Verrett and some heavy stick work
by his teammates, the lead was grad
ually cut down. Going into the ninth
inning, with the score 6 to 3 against
them, the local boys batted Dell, the
Amite pitcher, out of the box, tieing
the score. Unable to score in their
half of the ninth, Amite sent Fraser
to the box to open the tenth. Boga
lusa met him with a volley of hits and
scored two runs, putting them in the
lead, but the local boys were unable
to maintain this lead because of
Ezell's three errors in right field, per
mitting Amite to again tie the score
.
| * n their half of the tenth,
By this time the fans were making
frantic appeals to their club to win
and the Rooters' Club was working
overtime, but Verrett pitched air
tight ball. Neither club was able to
s
thirteenth, when with one down, Jar
vis lined to deep left, but fast field
ing by Doc Smith to Forbes and a •
perfect throw to the plate by Dave
Marx cut him down tat home by two
feet. This was the liiost exciting fea
ture of the game, as the play pre-.
vented a score on what lookèd like a
certain home run.
With two down in the fifteen, Doc
Smith hit safe, Verrett singled and
Joe Marx hit sharply to center, scor
ing Smith, but Verrett was held at
third. Stollenwerck ended the in
ning with a fly to second.
And now comes the sad story with
defeat. Amite won the game when
Packer singled, was sacrificed to sec
ond by Case; Gains singled, but
Packer was held at third. Both men
scored a moment later when Mack
hit to left for three bases and Boga
lusa had lost a bittery fouçht çqns
test. ;
i
Gain
ac-jMay:
The local club m»3e such a favor

and as both clubs have won one game,

near future. The box score follows:
