Of the game the Salem Journal has the following: By bunching hits when Falls City bunched errors, Salem brought their percentage up to 600 yesterday by de feating the visitors by a 9 to 3 score. Craig allowed but two hits and the Salem batters pounded out 6. The scoring started in the first for Salem when, with two down, Humphries walked, stole second, went to third on a passed ball and scored on Jones' bunt. Mackson -registered in the sec ond inning when Bell doubled to cen ter field. In the fifth Falls City annexed one run when Dewltt, the husky left field er, dumped one in front of the plate and Holman bounced It oft of the run ner's head in throwing to first base Dewltt Is to be congratulated on the solidness of his head because the ball bounced over the outfielder's head and Dewltt made second. Schneider hit to third and Graham hit to Mack son, who was a second late In return ing to Holman, and Dewltt registered. Craig scored in the fifth on Jones' hit to the outfield, and In the lucky seventh Bell singled and Humphries made first when the catcher missed a third strike. Both scored when Cobb threw the ball away. Not Until the eighth did the Senators find out that Falls City could not field btm'ts, and in this inning two more runs were added, when everybody dropped them in front of the plate. The score came near being 9 to 1 but in the first half of the ninth Sa lem let down a little and Chapln hit to center field for the second hit of the day.

"The Story Beautiful" Is a classic from the standpoint of art, oratory and musical attainments, and yet, because of its strong appeal to all classes who will hear and see it, this number on the coming assembly deserves to be called a popular entertainment , Because of its uniqueness it Is diffi cult to give in a few words an ade quate conception of it. One of the most brilliant, powerful and dramatic speakers. Father Patrick J. MacCorry of St Mary's cathedral, Wichita, Kan., has woven a thrilling lecture about a series of unusual views and reproductions of famous paintings. Many of the paintings shown are by the master painters of the world and are hidden far from the eyes of the curious. How Father MacCorry se cured them is not a part of this story, but it may be said that there are few who could secure permission to copy them, and the coloring of the slides is wonderfully well done. They are as beautiful as the originals and far above any slides commonly shown. While the pictures are being shown Father MacCorry gives his lecture. No orator has a more musical tone or more dramatic intonation, and while he speaks a single ray of light reveals his features against a black velvet curtain, the speaker as well as the picture being shown, which is an ex clusive feature with this lecturer. At times nothing can be heard but the gentle music of the piano, and this may be followed with the rich tones of that great baritone, H. Ruthven Mac Donald of Toronto, who presents se lections from oratorios and other classic music while the audience remains un der the spell of this remarkable set ting. Four people are required to present this admirably combined lecture, re cital and showing of famous pictures, and those who attend will leave with the sensation that they have visited some great cathedral, having been thoroughly satisfied in a long cherish ed desire.
