Von castle

When a honky-tonk showgirl gets stranded in a cow town like Big Horn Wyoming, anything is liable to happen and does in "Maisie," opening tonight at the Voncastle Theatre with Hoo rt Young and Ann Sothern at the head of an excellent cast. Her invasion of the wide open spaces, in the person of the personable Miss Sohern, not only upsets the romantic applecart of Young but eventually finds him on trial for murder. “Maisie" is a comedy drama set in the West, but is not a western of the so-called horse opera variety. Mather, it is a smart story of men and women from the sophisticated strata of America and laid in a background of cow poni s and round-ups. Feminine i.ntrigue and a mans caution run a comedy and dramatic gamaut as two women, the other played by Ruth Hussey, play their hand for the affections of the Westerner.

When the umpire yelled "Play Ball" before a rapidly growing 400 spectators at the Robe Ann park diamond last night a seasoned Putnamville team came up to bat against an untrained, but enthusiastic, Colored Giant ten to start the soft ball season here In Putnam county. In blue baseball pants and caps, and with white jerseys lettered PUTNAMVILLE the team, with several wins already to their credit, presented quite a contrast to the Colored Giants: yet the Giants showed some playing ability, that, with some seasoning, should make them a fine ball club. With moundman Ab Howard up for the Giants the Putnamville stick wielder, Robert Scobee struck a single soon to be followed by Cloyal Scobee who walked. The Putnamville team ran up a score of nine runs on four hits during the first inning. Near the end of the third inning the Colored Giants staged a comeback to bring the score at the end of the inning up to 8 runs for the Giants against Putnamville's 15. In the fourth inning with Putnamville up, Cloyal Scobee hit a homer bringing in a man from second. Another homer on errors brought in Fisher. Pigg, who showed exceptional speed as roving center and extracted many remarks from the gallery, hit a bunt and was forced out on second. At the end of the seventh inning the score stood 23-13. By this time the crowd had grown to an estimated six or seven hundred. Many of the prizes that were awarded were taken in the first game. A committee composed of Francis Lear, Frank Knebel and Chester Jarvis acted as judges. Among the awards was: The first single an award of a haircut, given by the OK Barber Shop, to Robert Scobee of Putnamville. The first walk received the award of a dozen hamburgers, given by. Rose’s Inn, and went to Cloyal Sco- ' bee. The first double was awarded with ! " billfold donated by Schoenman’s Jewelry Store and it went to Gene Miles. The hitter of the first home run received a Gillette Sheraton razor given by Mullins Drug Store and it went to Cloyal Scobee.
