New Heir to British
Throne Is 10 Years Old

Prince Edward Albert Christian
George Andrew Patrick David-al-
ways known as Prince Edward-direct
heir to the English throne, was born
June %, 1894. He is the oldest Of the
new kings family of six children, five
bows and one girl.
The youthful heir is a fair-haired,
blue-eyed, wellbuilt youth of extreme
manlness. one who gives promise OF
developing considerable mental pow
err He and the other children are be-
ing reared strictly. sanely and simply
by the quen, and they are being
brought up To hold much of their
mothers stern sense of duty
Particular attention has been given
to the education OF Prince Edward, as
BELTS the heir. although special care
has also been bestowed on the educa-
ton of Prince Albert Frederick. the
second son, who was born Dec. IA,
1885
Beyond the fact that he is being
more carefully educated than most
children. there is little to distinguish
the heir from other boys However
he has for some time had a distinct
sense of the great position he is 10 be
called 10 FIJI In this connection a
story came out from st. James palace
not long ago.

quest IN ESiiey Leath Set for uesdayMore Big Signs
Erected by oard of Trade-Fraternal Societies would
Scale Physicians Charges.

The season of the Rhode Island
| Connecticut baseball league was for
mally opened in Westerly, Saturday.
with a game between the westerly
and White Rock teams. which was
| preceded by a band concert, parade
and flag raising. In the early after
noon. a regular before the parade cir
Gus day crowd assembled in Dixon
square ami listened to selections by
the Westerly Brass band. Then fol-
lowed the parade of the two teams
headed by the band to the Vose park
Here the Stars and Stripes and the
championship pennant of 1909 were
raised, while the band PLAYED The
Star Spangfed Banner. The ceremony
was under the direction of Manager
Dick Mitchell.
At the conclusion of the preliminary
ceremonies. the teams were called to
play by Keyron Doyle, the umpire who
escorted Dr.. john NJ. O'Connen, pres
ident OF the league to the mound. The
president pitched the first. very low
one, and the race was on for the league
championship of 1910.
The twirler for Westerly was a
husky chap from down Providence
way, and he did very well, satisfied
the Westerly fans. but could not be
cAssed as a phenom, as he did not
shine forth unusually brilliant when
compared with little Mike Sheehan of
for the White Rocks. and to a great
extent the game could be classed
one of those so-ca1led pitchers battles
with honors fairly well distributed.
The teams were evenly matched, and
but for the error of Staplin in left
field, in muffing a high fly, the final
score would probably not have been
to ,, in favor of Westerly, although
perhaps the Westerly team is the fast
err and would have undoubtedly won
the game as they had to their credit
at this time two earned runs. This
unusual play of the White Rocks left
fielder was more than retrieved later
on when he made two of the most diff
dcult catches in the game, one on q
long side run and another on a for |
ward run. clutching the ball within a |
few inches of the ground In fact, |
with the exception of the catching OF !
a high throw to Chase at first and a |
couple Of liners by Moves at third, |
there were no other plays out of the |
ordinary during the game. Taken as |
a whole the game throughout was as |
good as could be reasonably expected |
for an opener where either team has |
had little or no effective practice
Now that the season has opened the |
players will warm uo and hereafter |
there will be more ginger in the game I
than was displayed in the opening. A |
serious setback to players, and spec |
ia tors. too, at Saturdays game, was |
the clouds of dust that We're raised |
which at times almost blinded the bat |
tiers and catchers and covered those |
in the grand stand and along the first |
base line.
There was a large attendance at the |
game, but from start to finish there /
