Abbeville made tne nrsr run in me first inning when Clark scored. Leaman, Bradley, Henderson and Lumley scored four runs in the sec ond inning for the visitors, Davis add ing one more to this in the third, i Galloway and Clark scored one each J in the third giving Abbeville three j runs and visitors five. Neither side scored in the fourth, but Davis added one for the visitors in the fifth. The sixth, seventh and eighth innings netted nothing to either side. Galloway, E. made one of the most brilliant and sensational catches ever made on the local diamond, running from left field to deep center and making a one hand stab, robbing Lumley of a three base hit. Things however took a change in the ninth when Abbeville injected a pretty shock into the visitors system | and making them very uncertain for a few minutes as to who was going to win the ball game. Brownlee came up to the bat, bat. ting for Kennedy in the ninth, he singled, was followed by Erwin who also singled. Galloway, R. hit for two bases scoring Brownlee and Er arirv this tj?kinp- nlace with two men down. Both teams made many errors and seemed to be out of form for some reason most of the scores being made on errors, however the game had a few thrills. The attendance is steadily on the increase and shows that the public wants baseball and wants a winning team.

KING SOLOMON MINUS WHISKERS RAISES QUESTION The beardless Fritz Lieber, play ing King Soldmon in the William Fox film spectacle "Queen of Sheba" which comes to the opera house on Jolly 13 and 14, has given rise to much discussion of the ques tion whether Solomon wore a beard or not. J. Gordon Edwards, director of the pjpture, has received nwiy letters questioning the his torical accuracy of Lieber's clean shaven countenance. I have always . pictured Solo mon with a beard," wrete one man. "I don't know why, but it strikes me that he would have worn one."

We ' discussed this matter of a -beard for Solomon ilong before we began to make the picture, and we found just as many authorities against a beard as for It. And as the modem ideal of a hero-lover demands that he be clean-shaven, we decided that the Solomon of our picture, who is represented as a king with an eye for a beautiful woman, ad 'he undoubtedly was, should not be bearded." At cdlrtain times in history the beard has ibeen held in high honor, but there is no record that it was so in the time of Solomon.
