NORFOLK, VA, May 9.-(SpecLal)-
Jake Wells and his flock of Blue
birds flew out 70 League Park this after
noon. and managed TO exc out by nose
| n victory for the locals. II was a snappy
game from start to finish, and but for
two errors-one by Hoffman and one by
Berte-the score would have been nothing
To nought For eight innings. 10 say
the least. the pitchers bore the brunt Of
the battle, and they bore II well: in fact
shut-out games were pitched by both Tan
nehill and Foster, but the men behind
them were not equal to the strain. Nor
folk had twice as many errors as Rich
mond. and they were twice as costly;
hut withal the contest was short and in
teresting. In the third inning Behne gave
way to Tannehill In the box. but nothing
Of any real interest occurred until Rich
mond's fifth inning.
A SLASIIlNG TWO-BAGGER.
Berte, the first man up, led off with
siashing two-b3gger to centre. when Nor
gan. who followed. drove one TO Corcoran
The ball was felded clean and thrown to
Hoffman TO catch. Behne was started
To- third. and Hoffman had an excellent
opportunity 10 catch Berte and effect a
double play, but. instead, he made no at
tempt TO do either, and stood apparently
dumbfounded. while both men were saved
Both Behne and Kahn were easy out
but Tannehilrs single to centre scored
both runners. In Norfolk's seventh
IIauptman. with two men ont, hit TO
centre for a single. stol. second. and
reached home on Berte's bad tumble OF
lIoffman's grounder. This ended the
run-getting for both teams. The double
play OF Wells and Berts really saved the
game for the Bluebirds. Foster mad been
given a base, and advanced 10 second on
Whaley's sacrifice CorcOran drove a
liner to right. which looked safe for two
bases, but Jake jumped high and pulled
ii down, catching Poster OFF second.

Charming Effie Ellsler is billed to ap-
pear at Maguire's opera house Monday
night. Every art numbers among its devo-
tees some who do It honor In their per-
sonality as well as in the measure of
their success; whose Justly achievd ca
reer partakes equally of the artist and
the artists work, the one bringing native
grace and human interest TO enhance the
effect OF the other. These command our
notice and impress us with their worth
not by the meteorts flash of genius but
rather by the serene and steady light
they diffuse in the field OF their choice.
To the admiration they excite on first ac-
quaintance is added. as we come to know
them well, a certain degree of persoal es-
TEEN. though we may know them onay as
contributors to our entertainment and in
struction In a public way. Such n one is
Effie Ellsler. Other actresses have been
accounted greater. but none have exer-
cised her charm Though she has grown
more matronly with the years. she is
stiil though OF as the girl who first won
us In the character of Hazel Kirke. To
all she is still the miller's daughter, 1.-the
some and dight-footed. with the sweet
naturalness of manner which was some
thing more and something better than
the artlessness OF perfect art, and the
low contralto tones. which by common
consent are the audible evidence of a
womanly soul. II Is not enough to saw
OF Efte Ellsler that she has succeeded
and that the evil tongues which were
wont to malign women OF her profession
are stih when her name is mentioned IL
must also be said that she has won the
place she holds by honest and persistent
effort. by the steady development of an
Inherited capacity and by always appeal
ing 10 the better sense and the better ma
ture Of her audiences. She Is one OF those
who show that the stage may be made
void of harm without lessening its inter-
est for the public. She is playing shake
spears now and will be seen as RosaIind

her bell scene in Belasco's play would
lead to justifiable suspicion that IL was
recognized as a good thing and that some
one pushed IL along. The fact. however.
that The Southern Convict was copy
righted years before The Heart OF
Maryland" was produced will probably
be sufficient to protect Mrs. Marines
rights in the matter. and the case has
been placed in the hands of a prominent
firm OF lawyers i'm New York
The title of the Belasco play and the
meager reports of it's plot that have been
made In the papers lead to the belief that
