Bainbridge is making great preparations for the opening of their baseball season which takes place Saturday, 19th inst. Through the efforts of Mr. George Roberts, Capt. D E. Fox will send a detail of troopers for the purpose of giving exhibitions of rough riding. Troop "C" is ranked second to none in the State Police force in this particular line carrying off high honors at the State Fair at Syracuse. The exhibition is well worth going miles to see. As a fitting climax to the long looked for day a ball game will be played with Troop "C" team and the fast Bainbridge Club as opponents. Under the leadership of Mr. Roberts indications point to a season of fast amateur ball games in that village--Sidney Record.

Wives, mothers, sweethearts, stricken with fear, are frantic in their efforts to get to their loved ones. This is the pivotal scene of "The Flame of Life" the Universal Jewell super-special.
