FARMS LOSES TO MAPLES, 11-5 
LoosEty PiAyEp GAME WON By Sa- 
LEM ‘TEAM 
Featured by a triple play, the game 
last Saturday afternoon on the ward 
six playgrounds, Beverly Farms, be- 
tween the Beverly Farms Athletic 
club, and the Maples of Salem, result- 
ed in a victory for the Maples by the 
score of 11 to 5 in a loosely played 
contest. For six innings the game was 
very close, and it seemed as if the 
boys from the lower end of the city 
were to win out, but the heavy slug- 
gers on the aggregation from witch- 
burg put a damper on the Beverly 
Farms chances to cop the game. 
A record-breaking crowd was on 
_ hand to see the game, for the contest 
was widely advertised, and fans from 
Salem, Peabody, Beverly, Manchester 
and Gloucester were on the grounds 
by 3 o'clock, The grounds, which are 
of the major league type had been put 
in excellent condition by the ground 
keeper. 
“Cy” Perkins, the Gloucester High 
catcher, who was in behind the bat 
_ for the Farms, displayed some keen 
knowledge of the national game, and 
worked exceedingly hard to win. Mc- 
Pherson, in center field, made two 
pippins of catches, while ‘Piker” 
Donovan, a short, did fine work. 
Manager Donovan of the Maples, 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
went in to take Lovett’s place when 
the latter was injured, and did his 
part by pasting out a dandy two sack- 
er. He has not lost any of his cun- 
ning of old. The score by innings:

Houtis STREET THEATRE 
There is but little doubt that the 
most popular of all the early season 
attractions in Boston will be Julia 
Sanderson in ‘“The Sunshine Girl” at 
the Hollis Street Theatre, where that 
daintiest of musical comedy stars 
comes for a long engagement com- 
mencing Monday evening, Sept. 22. 
Miss Sanderson, who has captivated 
playgoers in many tuneful musical en- 
tertainments such as “The Arcadians” 
and “The Siren” is coming to Boston 
this time as a star, Charles Frohman 
her manager having elevated the little 
artist to this high position last sea- 
son when he produced “The Sunshine 
Girl” in New York where it scintil- 
lated and rivaled the orb it is named 
after, for over six months. George 
Edwards originally produced this fa- 
mous musical comedy at his Gaiety 
Theatre in London and it ran for 
two years there with Phyllis Dare in 
the title role. The chorus and cast 
number over 100 persons and the pro- 
duction is a magnificent one. Mati- 
nees will be given on Wednesdays and 
27 
Saturdays during the Boston engage- 
ment. 
EMPIRE THEATRE, SALEM 
“The Commanding Officer,” a 
clever and well-written melodrama by 
Theodore Burt Sayre, will be present- 
ed at the Empire theatre next week 
by the Empire stock company. ‘The 
story of the play is original in its 
theme and offers situations very much 
out of the commonplace run of such 
plays. Colonel Archer is in command 
of the Seventh U. 8. A. calvary at 
Ft. Butler, Nevada, and with him at 
the post is his wife—young, pretty 
and thoroughly decided that she can 
only be happy as the belle of the fort. 
The colonel is firmly attached to his 
home life, but cares little for society. 
His attitude quickly leads to domes- 
tic wrangling. He is at length forced 
to leave the fort for ten days or more 
on urgent business and he is no soon- 
er on his way than the pretty wife re- 
news an old-time friendship with 
Brent Lindsey, a wealthy mine owner. 
The play is in four acts and five 
scenes and requires the most elabor- 
ate stage settings of any that has 
been given at the Empire Theatre 
during the stock season. 
“Pop, I want to ask you some- 
thing.” 
“What is it, son?” 
“Could we get an ocean greyhound 
about here to chase a sea puss?”
