match against tri-clty idol. and the ex-

Hrondell, Thompson, Latr.piris and Mr- j
Cleary ajid others who were sent
against him has aroused the fans to
a point where they want to see him
up against a man who Is his superior.
Burlington claims that Hartmann is
that man. and It is up to the lower
river artist to prove his merit in to
night's scrap.

The Cross Country baseball team,
, which some years ago was counted
among the best independent semi-pro
npp-ppfltifins in the state, wilt h r

: by phoning west 546.
j First practice of the squad will be
! held at the race track grounds in two
weeks.
erty boy, clad in the conventional
overalls, soft shirt and advertisement
cap, enters with a broom and begins
to kid the actresses. Nagel is funny
and his clowning is clean and whole
some. Fritz Otto, a German-American
yodler. warbles sweetly. He received
a bin htuid. Dyer and Oyer provide
a lot of fun on the flying rings. The
clcwn of the team is just about as
comical a? any seen here this season,
and if actual count is made of the
lauehs, the majority vote will neces
sarily go to act No. 1.
And then we have some lady ath
letes, fresh from Europe, who label
themselves the Idanlas iroupe. Two
of the ladies emirate the stunts of
the famous Mr. Atlas by standing on
pedestals and shouldering an electric
light trapeze beam, while the others
perform various athletic stunts. The
act is pret'ily staged. A portly Teu
ton of larpe girth is the only mascu
line decoration on the stage during
the course of the athletic carnival.

yesterday Manager Callahan made a

"There's i.o chance to keep that kid

The manager followed by saying 11
looked as if he also would, keep Rer- j
