W ith a great cast and Pinto, the fam ous H a rt pony “Wild Bill Hiekok’ was the quickest j “draw ” in the west, and in the dis charge of his duties as a peace offi cer in the reconstruction days fol lowing the Civil War, he was forced to bring to a prem a ture close the lives of some sixty persons who were foolish enough to w a n t to be bad men Some of the famous historical char acters introduced in the course of the production are Calamity Jane, W.

They resemble a shovel when he is scooping up the bounders. Big hands made Honus Wagner one of the surest infielders the game has even had. They are any. ball player’s biggest asset. When Toporcer jumped from an un known sandlotter to the St. Louis Car dinals and made good, he received a flood of publicity because he wore glasses. Bespectacled infielders in the big league are rare birds. He made good with the Cards and held down the third-base job^ until Milton Stock, holdout, returned to the fold. The youngster uses his head iln trap ping bounders. He doesn’t get set and let a hard-hit roller swoop over big shoulder. He figures out the ball the instant the batter hits it, and if there is a sign of it hopping he hops with it. F0R SEE Nine room house (2 family) gas light, bath, hot and cold water. W est End.
