OF PIRATE TEAM I
PITTSmmO, Oct. 27. ( A. P.) A
number of Plrutes supporters who
placed their money on the I'ittBburg
club and then thought they had
"cleaned up" when their favorites won
the championship, now find that they
did not win a. cent, police having re
ceived numerous complaints within
the last few days that the money was
"covered" with bogus certified checks.
Amor? the bettors who found their
"checks" worthless was a former
pugilist, who bet $25,000. In another
instance a theatrical manager placed
toOOO but did not realize on bis "in
vestment." Other wagers ranging from J50.000
to $r,00 have come to the notice of
police, who figure thut a total of $100,
000 was covered by spurious paper.
Inspector of Detectives John Barry
says there is no way in which the
winnings can be collected, although
there might be gleaned a few crumbs
of satisfaction by prosecuting the men
who posted the checks on charges of
Issuing worthless paper. That Ib. If
the men can be located.
PHOENIX TO GIVE
OPERA THURSDAY
PHOENIX, Ore., Oct. 27. Final re
hearsals of the comic opera "Pirates
of Penzance," give promise of a very
good performance when the curtain
goes up on the presentation of (illbert
and Sullivan's musical masterpiece
Thursday night. The grade school
child reu have been working hard to
perfect the many choruses and solo
numbers and the diminutive actors
handle their parts with much enthu
siasm. It is rather a pretentions un
dertaking as all of the participants
are under high school age, but it is
going to prove a surprise to see the
ability with which the story of the
play is unfolded. ',,';
During the second act, in the battle
between the pirates and police, the
action is so realistic that actual cas
ualties are Imminent and it has been
necessary ut rehearsals to restrain the
two factions in order to keep the cast
intact for the first performance.
The "Pirates" is to be given Thurs
day night, October 29, in the assembly
room of the grade school at Phoenix
nnd a splendid advance sale of tickets
promises a packed house for the show.
The proceeds are to be used in the
purchase of shrubbery for the school
grounds.
