PUCKETT HOLD HOME '
TEAM HELPLESS
Tuesday Puckett pitched fnr!
Fitzgerald and allowed the Mon
tezuma team but three bingles
during the entire game, pitching
perfect ball after the second in
ning. Fitzgerald hits as hard as
usual, twelve hard raps being the
total. Barber surprised all fan
dom by getting three safe hits out
of as many times at bat. Barber
has been hitting vepy lightly up
to date but now it seems that he
may go up to his prep league av
erage. Norris repeated his trick
of Monday and made three hits
out of five chances. Rowe, of
Montezuma, starred in the out
field, as usual. If Montezuma
had seven more men like Rowe,
she might crawl out of the sec
ond division,

FITZGERALD WINS FIRST
GAME OF THE SERIES
In the first game of the opening
series at Montezuma, Stewart
failed to deliver the goods and
the heavy hitting Cochranites
knocked him out of the box. Af
ter getting ahead by a large ma
jority the Colonists slacked up in
their playing and made six bob
bles throughout the balance of
the game. Fuss pitched another
nice game, holding the Zellars
men to five hits and kept them
so well scattered they counted
for little, save in the sixth when
a valiant rally by the home team
scored four tallies.
Norris, who was the low man
in batting before the league open
ed, found Stewart and Holmes
for three hits out of five chances.
Monahan and Milligan also did
some nice work with the mace.

tle encouragement, the bleachers
shake with enthusiasm and the
spikes in the grand stand roof are
strained. But when the home
team is two or three runs behind,
working hard and in need of en-l
couragement, the bleachers zmd‘
grandstand “go dead.” There is
no enthusiasm whatsoever. The
team is left to fight it out the best
it can. As we have often said in
this same column, it is a lot more
fun to root when the team is hit
ting like sixty and every one else
is cheering, but the time the real
patriotic fan comes in with his
voice, is when the team is behind
and needs encouragement. In
I'riday’s game it was the usual
thing. The team was behind until
the cighth and for seven long in-
Inings the fans applauded like they
were at a game of cricket. Then
the'team broke lgose and scored
a couple of runs and when they
were thead, the rooters had en
cotragement to spare.

BOOSTER WEEK AT- :
TRACTS ATTENTION
The Pictorial Booster Week
at the Grand all this week is at
tracting much atention, both by
the .originality of the attractions
and that most human desigeg—to
appear on the movie screen. The
photos of the children are pretty
in themselves, but when they are
made the illustrations of an il
lustrated song, they are indeed
attractive. The artist who sings
‘the songs has a voice such as 1s
seldom heard for a nickle or a
‘dimc.
The promoter of Booster Week
always has something special for
the amusement of the audiences.
Monday night there was a great
pie-eating contest, with a prize
of half a dollar. Last night, Tues
day, a “dressing contest” was the
event. Each of ten small boys
were presented with a paper par
cel and at the word each opened
his parcel and used its contents
in the proper way. The packages
were found to hold ladies wearing
apparel and the kids donned these
speedily. After they were all
dressed, the audience was asked
to show by acclamation which
they thought was the “prettiest”
lady. Little one-armed Lovey
Piram was awarded the prize.
Tuesday night a aumber of la
dies received quart buckets of ice
cream also. Every one in the
house at the time his picture was
shown received some nice pres
ent. There is something in store
for everyone who attends the
show. One proof of the popu
larity of Booster Week is that in
stead of the crowds being largest
the first night and tapering off as
the novelty of the thing becomes
less, they come more and more
each night.
