The local High School team made them hustle to win by a narrow margin, and if the Japlanese team had not been assisted by five professional American players there would be a different story to tell.

Considering the lack of practice of the home boys, they played a good game and certainly made it exciting. The battery work of Walker and Moss and the batting of Holtoefer were the features.

Given by the home people for the benefit of the band. They grabbed something like a hundred plunks and it was worth the money. The show opened up with a chorus supported by the orchestra and it sure was good to listen to. They sprung a lot of gags and the way Curg Taylor, Bill Skinner, Ed Osborn and Tom Watson handed them out wasn't poor. Bill Skinner had a 80- lo about "The Moon is Next to that was there.

Then Ed Osborn sang "Wot'ell's Wrong With the It certainly listened good to me. Charley Heleker, and help, pulled off one about "Will You Stick to Me Next Winter Like You Do Now?" Say, it was great. Ed 0g- born came back with the death of Bill Bailey and it made 'em all sit up and take notice. These guys was helped in the chorus by Brown, Becknell, Barrett and Wells and they done fine.

Tom Watson sprung solitaire talk and handed it to his whole family from his grandmother to the kiddo. After that Mrs. Bill Brodt sang "Dearie" and did it so poor that the crowd made her come back and sing something else. It was bum-nit. Mazette Walker and Noble Foster followed with some singing and duneing stunts that liked to broke up the show.

The gang wouldn't let 'em quit. The way Mazette danced and kicked say, Bill. you missed it. The selections by the ladies' quartette made a lot of guys bister their mitts applauding, and the solos by Judd on the fiddle and Clift on the cornet peaches. That's all.
