Luke French, of this city, a student at Donaldson, was on the hill for the visitors and was complete master of the situation from start to finish, letting the locals down with four scattered blows. The game was fast and interesting, but 90 minutes being required for its unraveling. : The first five chapters of the pro gram was without results, the locals holding their visitor's in check in an admirable manner, but the sixth saw a cadet romp home and proved the beginning of the end. James, who did the hurling for the locals, weak ened In the seventh, allowing another marker to be added and went to pieces in the concluding frame when a combination of one and two ply safeties saw the complete undoing of his masterly performance of the first five innings. Donaldson secured but seven safeties but was able to bunch them and was aided to a certain ex tent by the miscue's of the locals. PREACH E HELL SERMON TOMORROW Rev. Frederick B.

ALL SHOULD SEE 1 I OF SP1RI CROSS "The Spirit, of the Bed Cross" Is a two-reel motion picture of exceptional interest, made and contributed to the National Red Cross by the united motion picture industry of the United States as an aid in the campaign, to be waged from May 20 to 28 for funds to carry on the war work. It was produced by James Montgomery Flagg, and uses as its advertising poster Mr. Flaggs inspiring Red Cross painting, "Not One Shall Be Left Behind." It is designed to bring before the thirty million motion pic ture patrons of America the splendid work that the American Red Cross is accomplishing with the funds con tributed by Americans. It shows ex actly what, is happening to your boy, to your neighbor's boy, "Over There," in the canteens, in the trenches, ih the hospitals. A vivid picture is "The Spirit of the Red Cross." It is not "propaganda," as the term is general ly applied. First of all it is a true picture showing your dollars are making things comfortable for your boys in France. It is a drama, full to the brim with cheers and tears, and shows scenes from the front line trenches to the hospital Red Cross institutions back of the lines. It is a production that aside from its value to show the wonderful work being ac complished by the Red Cross Waft Relief, will stand on its own feet as a wonder production. In handling this picture, the motion picture industry has volunteered to put it before the many millions of movie patrons entirely without cost to the Red Cross, the exchanges booking It and handling all clerical work and details at their own ex pense and the exhibitors paying their part in express charges and advertis ing the production locallly in the dif ferent cities. It comes to the Bijou theatre next Monday, only one day be ing allowed in any one city owing to the fact that each print of the pic ture has to circuit over six to eight states before the close of the cam paign on May 28th.

DA VID'S More than good clothes here You'll find good clothes here; Hart Schaffner & Marx is the answer to that,' , but that's not enough; you want the service of men who know how to help you get the right thing for you. Our salesmen are experts; they've studied the hu man figure; the likes and dislikes and the needs of you men. They serve rather than sell. It's a good place to buy clothes, any way you look at it.
