His coming always arouses'ploasant anticipation and all the more so because this is his 2nd season in his new play, "The Town Fool," which is a happy combination of fun, song, dances, thrills, laughter and tears. The show proved a big hit last season. Special sCtaory is carried by the company for each act of the play. Will bo at Bills theatre, Rensselaer, Thursday, Aug. 14th.

ATHLETICS BLANKED LOWELL SUNDAY

Clark Repeated Performance 1 0l Previous Sunday and Allowed Only Two Safeties.

Clark was in prime form Sunday and blanked the strong Lowell team, allowing them only t-wo hits, one of which was the scratchiest sort of a safety, which rolled along the third base line and looked like it would light foul but finally wiggled back inside the diamond. Hine Lowellites whiffed the air and those who managed to connect with the ball could not get it beyond the infield. No member of the visiting team got past second base. ' The Athletics found Shurte, who had proved* such an enigma when Lowell was here before and landed safely eight times. Swartzell got two hits in four times up, none of them being a triple, and Joe Elder also got two hits. Morgan was again in the game at second base and laced out a single that brought two across the plate. The crowd was the smallest of the year, owing to the threatening rain, but the fans pronounced the game the best of the season.
