AUGUST 3, 1929 Beaumont and Dallas Battle This Afternoon Fast Beaumont Team Full Of Confid- ence After Shutting Out League Leaders Last Saturday Upsets happen in baseball, but it was no upset when Beaumont took the fast Wyoming boys over the coals last Saturday for their first shutout of the season by a 2 to 0 score. Wyoming had lost but two games out of fifteen until last Saturday, but they have taken advantage of weak pitching along with the best breaks baseball bets until they got up against Kromelbein, who threw them by the West Wyoming clan so fast that they didn’t know what it was all about un- til they got home and had a chance to talk it over. Yet Kromelbein is not the whole Beaumont club out that way. When you take a look at-its roster you find such seasoned talent as Hackling, Case, Gailey, Arch Austin, Turner. Boh MacDougall and Bill Storey, all rated as first-class material, and if a guess means anything, we will place it on Beaumont as the pennant winners. EAC Dallas-Roaring Brook ‘When Dallas journey to Roaring Brook last Saturday it found Oscar ‘Whitesell all set to greet them with a perfectly new ball club, and we will give Oscar credit for the selection he tmade, as his boys put up a fine fight until the seventh frame when every- thing looked blue from a barrage of; hits put over by Dallas which resulted ina 9 to 3 score. Hutchins was on the mound for Dal- las and pitched a masterful game, keeping the hits well scattered and breaking up several rallies with his fast fielding. Stitzer continued his batting rampage by poling out two home runs, the first with the bases full and the second with one man on. Cul- ver was the fielding star, making a hair-raising catch’ which put an end to a Roaring Brook rally, and in the seventh inning he started the batting rally for Dallas, which accounted for the game. J East Dallas-Hunlocks East Dallas lost a tough game to Hunlocks which placed it in a tie for fourth place and a possible chance of losing out in the elimination, as there are but four games to play and they gcan all be counted as tough. i - League Standing WL Pct West Wyoming weds 3 813 Dallas in Stade nd 13 5 .688 Beaumont ....

Roti RU SR Aa SCORE SHEET ON THE SIDELINES Saturday’s Game Dallas vs. Roaring Brook With a new lineup Roaring Broak hoped to defeat Dallas. Their sports- manship and fighting spirit was to be admired. It was one of those hit-and-run games with plenty of action. Dobbs started the fireworks first time at bat’ with a home run, only to be called out for not touching second base. He redeemed himself with a two-base hit and a three-bagger with men on bases. Santa Claus (Stitz) had another day when hits counted. With the bags full he pounded out a home run. It seems to be a race between Dobbs and Stitz for home runs and the scoring of runs. {Continued o on L Page 2 oo Prothonotary Candidates Make Tour of County Wagner Grooming Up War Horses As Benin Adds Strength in Some Sections The public generally is not excited vet over the fall election.

Being somewhat of a veteran, twelve years, in fact, as one newspaper stated, he long ago ad- vanced from the novice stage. Bonin Getting Around Mr. Bonin is in the training field. Nobody seems to know much about him politically. It is rumored that he is picking up some strength in what are known politically as the “patches” or foreign sections of the county.

Next they stopped in Chazy, where Mrs. Brickel visited rela- tives at Heart's Delight Farm. ; At Plattsburg they saw. the citizens’ training camp, then visited Lake George. Here they Y. M. C.

Greenwood’ Kiwanis and Dallas Rotary held another joint meeting on Wednesday evening at Colonial Tea Room. About seventy men were present. Dr. Howell, president of Kiwanis, had charge of the meeting. Earl Newhart led the singing and L. A. McHenry introduced the speaker of the evening, Councillor Strong, of the Wyoming Valley Chamber of Com- merece. Mr. Strong told fully but concisely the accomplishments so far of the new Chamber of Commerce organization, its desire to benefit the whole Wyo- ming! Valley, its present activities and a little of its futureaspirations. One of the most outstanding aims is to develop the other industries than coal porduction so that the valley will not in the future be so utterly de- pendent on the 'mines. Many such in- dustries already exist and precedent apparently: proves the community is better for developing these rather than attempting to import new ones. At the conclusion of his speech the meeting was left open for general dis- cussion. = Adjournment followed with an inter-club committee meeting with members chosen from both clubs planned for August 15 in Dallas at the Rotary club rooms. —_0 STUDY WYOMING COUNTY SOILS IN FARM SURVEY A soil survey of Wyoming county | is being conducted by the Pennsyl- vania State College and the Bureau of | Chemistry and Soils of the United States Department of Aglriculture, Professor A.

The driver was able to run against a tree large enough to hold the bus, so saving the lives probably of many of his passengers. The bus turned on its side and the injured as well as those unhurt/had to be helped out through the windows ° One little nine-year-old boy climbed bravely out then began frantically searching for a box he had lost. When it was found, he opened it to disclose two black kit- tens unhurt but wa little anxious. Since no one was really seriously in- jured the-crowd relaxed and enjoyed accounting for the hoodoo which had sent them off the road. The thirty passengers from the dis- abled machine were taken .into the Frank Martz bus and with the usual courtesy of the Martz drivers they were taken to their next station, twelve miles in another direction. Mrs. Disque expressed a great deal of pride in the efficiency and courtesy Ais- played by all the drivers she had met on the Martz busses. They are trained for two months, are men of mature judgment and seem not to hold lightly the responsibility which is theirs. Not only their employers, but Wyoming Valley, in her opinion, may be proud of the quality of service they render.

But on consideration and even investigation their remarks proved to be not flattering at all, merely a statement of facts which Dallas itself may either not know or may overlook. / The Himmler Theatre is one ot th best built and equipped show houses in Wyoming! Valley. Neither time, thought nor money have been spared to ‘make it possible for the public to receive the best in comfort and enter- tainment. 4 The screen which was ordered through DeFrenes & Co. of Wilkes- Barre, is the last word in screen per- fection, costing much more than or- dinary screen. It is of silver metal covered with ground glass, making it impossible to weary the eyes from any place in the theare. That, perhaps, sounds like an overstatement, but “proof of the pudding is in the eating.” Frequently the front seats are filled before all the back ones are taken. Because there is no balcony in the building the projectors can be on a line with the screen, making the pic- ture much clearer and plainer, less jerky and dazzling than if _the 'nachines had to be tipped to throw the shadow on the screen. Anyone who has attended the theatre or even noticed the displayed advertising! knows something of the quality of the pictures shown. Unless every picture were a feature they could be no more up-to-the-minute. The best of Hollywood's stars are fea- tured and in late productions by the best film companies. Lately Mr. Himmler has added a new prinking fountain and eight fans to insure the comfort of his patrons. The theatre has a seating capacity of be- tween three and four hundred. It’s a new business—an added at- traction to Dallas, an asset in appear- ance, taxes and reputation. Dallas proud of the Himmler Theatre. MRS. JOHN NEUER BURIED | The faers) of Mrsr.
