The Lima team 10-'t Diamond, one of its stars, through graduation last spring, but. boasts of a strong quintet, nevertheless.

The Banner Says “That Tiger-Yellow Jacket meeting at Decatur Saturday night was a nice battle from start to finish. The game, while hard-fought was exceptionally clean all the way. "The Yellcw Jackets, at least four of them, were just too big for our Tigers to handle Saturday night.

Local theatregoers are looking forward with great interest to H. B. Warner's embodiment of the title: . o'e. Among the other characters portrayed are St. Peter played by Ernest Totrence; the Magdalene, Jacqueline Logan; Mary Mother, Dorothy Cumming; the Roman Centurion, Montagu Love; Simon of Cyrene, William Boyd; Mary and Martha of Bethany, Josephine Norman and Julia Faye.
