Yet, following a tour of the larger cities last season, it has been unanimously declared by cj'Jtics that the new musical comedy by FranK Stammers. "My Home Town Girl,' in which they are now appearing, is the better of the two and shows the co stars at their best, and the piece has met with tremendous success since its opening. "My Home Town Girl" comes to the Orpheum to-day, matinee and night. Kate Elinore. known from coast to coast as the funniest woman on the American stage, comes ••My Aunt to the Orpheum next From V'tnli" Wednesday, matinee and night, at the head of her own company of merrymakers in a musical cocktail, entitled "My Aunt i From Utah." Miss Elinore's company i consists of thirty clever entertainers. >vho can sing and dance and entertain in a manner that will give perfect satis faction to theatergoers who often have paid double the price for an inferior show. The sale of seats will open , Monday, at 9 a. m. "Soul Mates." which comes to the ; Regent Theater to-day. is a psychologi- ( cal drama from the i ••Soul Mated" original story, "Secret Today at Mating." William Rus tlie Regent sell appears in the stel- ' lar role. This is a j tense and powerful story of the love of I a strong man for his wife, who betrays his love and sears his soul with hatred ) for her. How later his bitterness is tempered and the finer qualities of his > soul revealed through the guiding hand j of a small child. Billie Burke, in the tenth chapter of , "Gloria's Romance," is also shown to- > dav. In beginning her investigation of ; Freneau's death, Gloria goes first of all to the office of Mulry, Dick's partner, and while there was amazed to learn i that Lois was also calling on Mulry re garding Mr. Freneau. This led Gloria to suspect Dick had not been as true to h*r as he nad vowed. On Monday and Tuesday, Myrtle Sted- I ma.i --vlll be presented in "The Ameri- j can Beauty."

Tho headline attraction book ed for the first half of next week is Spencer Charters, a well-known Harris burg man, and his wife, little Irene My ers, in a comedy sketch called "The Hermit."

It was a twelve-Inning struggle and the young ster had the best of the battle up to the time he was relieved by Huenke. The game should not have gone more than the regulation nine Innings. Volz, while not showing the form he has exhibited on other occasions, was strong in pinches. The Colonels with men on bases were cut off by his good work, aided by fast fielding, in cluding several double plays. The game was prolonged and the Colonels given life through numerous Question able plate decisions on balls and strikes by Umpire Pfirman and on bases. When the game started in extra In nings Harrisburg had several chances to score, but lost out through lack of timely hits and unlucky breaks. Barn hart pitched a good game and received brilliant support. Both Score in First Both teams scored in the first in ning, hits counting with stolen bases. Harrisburg was aided by one pass. Layden walked in the sixth and stole second. Cook s Texas leaguer brought the run Elmira tied up in the sev enth. Ward singled and went around on Cook's fumble. Conroy's hit brought a run.

WELLY 5 'kCORNER It is not often Harrisburg fans blame the loss of a game to an um pire, but when decisions come as raw as they did yesterday, local patrons have a right to kick. But for the fact that the season is near the end. Harrisburg Club officials and others would enter a vigorous protest against Umpire Pfirman. His work has been severely criticised all season, but dur ing the past week it has been of such a character that not a few patrons have left the grounds and vowed they would not attend a game where Pfir man officiated. Harrisburg was not in a timely hit ting mood yesterday. Volz was not pitching in best form. Either of these two shortcomings would not have lost the game had Harrisburg been given just decisions. It was on balls and strikes that Pfirman was woefully weak. Both sides suffered, but on two occasions Elmira hitters were given life, reached base through rank de cisions, and scored. At times the de cisions were so ridiculous that even the Elmira players smiled. \\ hile on the questio of umpires, it might be timely to suggest that In re organization of the Farrell League for next season close attention be given in the selection of Indicator men. They have been a whole lot responsible for t]i6 lack of interest in ball games. Clothed with authority to prevent un necessary kicking and rowdyism, they permit players to use vile names and do as they please. Few rowdy play ers have been benched this season in the Farrell league. However, there would not be many kicks but for the HOWARD A. RILEY & CO.

The Bingoes had their bingle in bunches. Scranton yesterday put a spike in Syracuse's climb, winning out by a score of 2 to 1. It was a pitching duel between Friel and Buckles.
