THIS PREACHER IS A STAR PITCHER; HAS WON RECORD Missouri has a theological student who preaches in a Baptist church pulpit on Sundays and exasperates the baseball fans on the other days of the week because he will not consent to give up theology for professional ba&eball. A. C. McKinney is the name of this person who seems so peculiarly con stituted in the eyes of baseball en thusiasts. He loves baseball, plays It whenever he has an opportunity, and pitches for the team of the Wil liam Jewell College, which is locat ed at Liberty, Mo. Pitching for his team in four games, he struck out seventy-seven batsmen In thirty four innings, allowed but three hits in the quartet of games, and in two of them pitched no-hit, no-run games. I AMUSEMENTS jj MILITARY REALISM IN THE WILLARD-BUFFALO BILL SHOW One of the last-admonitions of Colo nel William F. Cody, known for half a century throughout the civilized world as Buffalo Bill, was "Let my show go on!" And in making this re- Suest, he named as his executor, ohnny Baker, the famous rifle shot, who had been regarded by Colonel Cody as his foster son and closest friend. Johnny Baker, who is asso ciated in the Buffalo Bill Wild West with Jess Willard, is aiding to carry out in the big Borderland exhibition the wishes of the famous old scout and Indian fighter, and the show, which exhibits in Harrisburg, Thursday, July 26, is declared in every way to be worthy of the high standard set by its founder. In a recent laudatory criticism of the big show, a New York newspaper remarked that "while the body of the great Cody rested on Lookout Moun tain, overlooking the City of Denver, his spirit was in evidence in his great show."- and this seems to be the uni versal verdict of those who have seen the exhibition this year. For one thing, the performance of fers, it is declared, an infinite variety of entertainment. The cowboys, led by "Tex." McLoud. Hank Durnellv Chester Byers and other range ropers and roughriders, present the sports of the cattle country with a daredevil recklessness that sends many a thrill throush the audience. In this way they are abetted by the no less daring AMTTSEMEXTS r -\ Regent Theater "Clean, Cool aDd Comfortable" that's how you'll find the Regent.

In a game against the Tarklo Col lege team—another Missouri college —he struck out twenty-five of the players in a no-hit game, and against the Maryville, (Mo.) State Normal school team, another of his no-hit games, struck out twenty-three of his opponents. McKinney is a native of Cincin nati, a sophomore In college, and preaches regularly at Bosworth, Mo. He Is satd to have speed, a variety of curves, a very effective moist ball, a good change of pace, remarkable control, and, best of all, a consider able allotment of brains. This refer ring to his baseball side.

PAXTANG PARK—Vaudeville. COLONIAL—"The Eternal Sin." REGENT-VFllling His Own Shoes." When a lowly American shoe clerk, out of a job in Paris, France, and un able to swim, Bryant Wnnhhnrn awakens sudden at Regent To-day ly out of his ploom to And him self the possessor not alone of a for tune, but of a harem of three beauti ful Turkish maidens, one may be Jus tified in settling himself in his seat and preparing for some keen enter tainment. And that is exactly what i the spectator gets In viewing "Filling His Own Shoes," at the Regent to-day. Bryant Washburn, supported by Hazel Daly, appear in the leading roles. To-morrow Shirley Mason, in "Light in Darkness." has splendid opportu nity to display her acknowledged ability, and as Hilary Kenyon, a young girl sent to prison for slaying her employer, who attempted to at tack her, brings out forcibly the point that sometimes the law finds vindica tion in sending to prison persons who should not be locked up. The Garfield Musical Comedv Com pany, who were held over for a second week by the man- Tbe Paxtansr agement at Pax- Vaudcvllle show tang Park, pre sented their lat est musical comedy effort, "The Beg gar Prince, at the park theater last evening. "The Beggar Prince" might be class ed as a light opera. The music is most excellent and most of the sing inor numbers seem to be specially written for the piece. The comedy narts. in the hands of Mr. Haines and Mr. Gadding, could hardly be improv ed upon, while the rest of the cast proved themselves equal to parts that are usually considered as requiring too much of the average artist in musical stock companies. It was the general opinion of those who saw last evening's performance •at the park that "ihe Beggar Prince" was a little the best show that the Garfield Company has attempted dur ing their engagement at Paxtang. On Thursday evening the park man agement will treat Its patrons to a big patriotic fireworks display. Manager Davis plans to make the fireworks show one of the big events of the park season, and a grand display may be expected.
