BASEBALL GAME MARY PICKFORD HAS
HERE SUNDAY, 4TH A TOMBOY COMEDY
The Kingsville baseball season will
he really ushered in next Sunday.
April 4th at League Park, when the
Ft. Ringgold Army Team journeys up
here to cross huts with the Mo. Pac.
Shop Boosters. Both teams are in
splendid shape and an extraordinarily
good game is assured. The Shop Boost-
ers have been practicing hard and will
send some good men into the game.
The new grand stand which has been
generously donated by the officials of
the Missouri Pacific, is expected to be
completed in time to be put into use
for this game. It will be remembered
that the old stand burned down some
weeks ago. The Boosters asked help
in building a new one and the officials
just built the whole thing.
It is announced that a game has
been scheduled with DeQuincy, La.,
on April 11th.
CLEAN-UP INSPECTION
PROBABLE SATURDAY
According to the opinion of Mrs.
G. E. Sims, chairman of the Commer-
cial Club Civic Committee, the clean-
up campaign inagurated some three
weeks ago, and delayed account of the
rainy weather, will be continued thru-
out the present week. It is possible
that inspection of the alleys and back
yards will be made Saturday by a
committee appointed for this purpose,
and the award made that Boy Scout
troop in whose territory the most
cleanly appearance is decided upon by
the committee. It is stated that the
Mexican people have been extraordi-
narily energetic in this campaign for
cleaner alleys and yards, with the re-
sult that this section of the city is
going to be in the running for honor-
able place. City wagons will continue
to pick tip trash and refuse the re-
mainder of this week and it is hoped
to complete the work by Saturday.
Recent rains have created a wonder-
ful growth of weeds, with the result
that within a week or so the most un-
sightly of appearance will be present-
ed on vacant lots. It is possible that,
the city health department will, just as
soon as possible, go over the town cut-
ting this heavy growth.
PAVING MACHINERY
ARRIVNG EVERY DAY
According to the statement made
by Mayor Goode Wednesday of this
week, actual work of putting down
paving will commence the latter part
of the present week, without mishap.
Lon Messer, with the W. L. Pearson
Company, was in the city Monday and
stated that the paving contractor was
now unloading new machinery at this
point preparatory to the work, and
that it was present intentions to start
excavation work possibly Friday or
Saturday. Several car loads of sand
and other materials will unloaded
within next few days, according to
Mr. Messer. The sewer machine is
back at work after long delay account
of weather and the contractors expect
to be up on Ninth leading into Kle-
berg within a short time. Paving will
start on some one block of Kleberg
avenue in the business section.
From the sweeping trains and vel-
vets of the costume drama, with stilt-
ed phraseology and stately mien, to
the ragamuffin clothes of "Little An-
nie Rooney” and the fighting, biting,
shin-kicking, roystering of New York
City’s East Side slums—this is the
screen transition Mary Pickford, tore-
most screen artiste, has encompassed
in her new photoplay, a United Artists
Corporation release coming next Mon-
day to the Kings Inn Theatre.
Miss Pickford is perfectly at home
in this story of New York’s tenement
district and the characterization of lit-
tle Annie Rooney fits her as the pro-'
verbial glove. She takes the role of a
twelve year old daughter of a popular
policeman, and leads a group of dirty-
faced youngsters in rough and tum-
ble battles against a rival gang, and
has a secret infatuation for Joe Kelly,
a strapping big truck driver, and pal
of her brother Tim Rooney.
Gone are the gorgeous costumes. No
longer are the* golden curls of “The
World’s Sweetheart” dressed high on
her head; instead they hang in tngled
liraids down her back. Cheap calico,
darned and undarned stockings and
down-at-the-heel shoes make up “Lit-
tle Annie Rooney’s” garb. She scorns
to wear anything like a hat,; once in
a while she wears a boy’s cap.
The gang-fights in “Little Annie
Rooney" are described by those who
have been associated with Miss Pick-
ford in the studio as screamingly
funny scenes. The staY, living up to
the good old Irish name, Rooney,
starts a fight and certainly ends it.
Leading her gang of ragamuffins, she
pelts bricks, vegetables, ancient fruit
and tin cans with a marvelous accur-
acy. She fights with her fists, putts
with her head, and kicks with her feet
as a score of rival gangsters swoop
down and she is cut off from her pals
in a strategic retreat.

and evidence of prosperity in places
