But life in 'the little Hocking Valley town grew too tame for him. He wanted excitement. So he rolled a big block of wood out onto the New York Central's tracks, then wired it down "Just to see what would happen." A passenger train came along and smashed into the ob- struction.

In it Miss Moore appears as a hoydenish young girl of a typical American town. She is supported by a popular cast, in- cluding Ben Lyon, Anna Q. Nilsson, Mary Carr, Mary Alden, Russell Simpson, June Elvidge, Charies Mur- ray and "Bull" Montana, "The Female," Notwithstanding the exciptional quality of the attractions offered at the Capitol Theatre, there is no doubt that Betty Compson in 'The Fe- male," which was) enthusiastically received by a large audience at the Capitol Theatre last night, ranks as one of the finest photoplays seen at the. big playhouse during the past three months. Betty Compson makes a new high mark for herself for extreme ver- satility and dramatic acting. She has never been geen to better advantage than in this stirring action-story. The story which, no doubt, had a great deal to do with the packed house which greeted the showing last evening, is probably familiar to a large majority of Kingston fans be- ing adapted from Cynthia Stockley's famous story, "Dalla The Lion Cub" which enjoyed a most successful run in the Cosmopolitan magazine.

The nervous young reporter who wrote the Circle-Six-Lakeviews game for the Peterboro Examiner has con- veyed the following impression: "The Lakeviews have to win here on Saturday or they will be fighting with their backs to the wail, when they play the return game in Kings ton next Wednesday. By the way both teams are going, it would not be surprising of a fourth game is needed to decide the winner, as Kingston, with their hard boiled crowd of fans, expect to scare the young Petes to death when they go to Kingston next Wednesday. "After the razaing the local boys got in Kingston yesterday, by the large crowd of fans, it would be nothing but fair if the citizens of this. city would turn out and root for the homesters, but it is hoped that the fans here will not go at the Kingston boys the way the Kings- ton fans went at the Petes. Since Batstone's gang has been thrown out | of the O.B.A. finals and Peterboro | has taken their place, the whole town has turned out to root for the Circle-Six end do anything in their power to put PFeterboro out of the running. Besides a number of fans who will come with the juniors from Kingston, it is expected that ithe Peterboro fans will turn out in a body and support the boys who are on the chase for the Ontario cham- pionship." There were a few youngsters yell- ing behind the Petes' bench here, but the small crowd of about thres hundred were quiet for the most part. They applauded good plays by both teams and Ash's catch of Buck's high fowl to left field re- ceived a bigger hand than any play during the game. If last Wednes- day was this young man's idea of a wild crowd, then it is to be hoped he never attends a senior intercol- |score is at all close. That crowd 'was a quiet one. WITH THE BOWLERS. HEARD ON THE STREET Four more games will finish the | singles competition at the Queen's] | bowling green. Thursday night R.| R. Graham and J. M. Elliott came | from the fourth round into the semi- finals by winning from M. Manahan | and C. Smart, respectively. The] contest will likely finish next week. In the regular doubles, A series, Dr. Cartwright and Dr. Knapp have been allowed their game with J. F. McMillan and W. Handley by default, C. C. Hodgins and A. Brundage won from F. 8. Evanson and J. Wright, 1748. and W. N. Linton and R. Sloan from Dr. Sparks and T. Lam. Pert, 18-14. In B series, G. Lawes and W. Chapman _won from £. Johnson and J. Chatterton, 17-8, and E. Baker and E. Williamson from R. N. F. McFarlane and 3 McDonald, 16-14. Brockville Talking, The Brockville Recorder refers to the disappointment felt by basebail fans of that district over the post- ponement of the game with Kingston Hussars and says that many motored in from the country for the match. In another article, the same paper makes reference to the Brockville team meeting the winners of the Hussars-Wolfe Island series, nor does it mention the dropping of Brockville by the eastern league. A very amusing thing is the talk of an exhibition game with the Al- uminum Company team of Massena, N.Y., by Brockville, They surely can get away with a Jot in some parts of the country. Since when did O.B.A.A. teams start playing ex- hibitions with United States teams ?
