to leave the city in case Mayor Smith
would agree 10 change his order as
to the peace bond. Grim stated at
the time that he desired TO return
to his former home in Cincinnati
Grim showed little interest in his
caller, for he did not raise from his
couch during the visit. He stated
that he did not wish for anything
and ne left the impression upon that
gentleman that he did not realize the
condition he is in. Yet at the same
time. he evincsd an interest in get

THE White slave. IS

'The White Slave" is proving a
great attraction at the Bijou theatre,
Harry word can be said in criti-
cism of the acting. The entire cast
Is well balanced and the characters
without an exception well played.
Miss Anderson, in part that could
very easily be overdrawn, plays Lisa,
the title part, with Just the proper
pathos Others in the cast are de-
serving of mention. especially the
part of Aunt Martha. colored
nanny, played by Charlotte and
Glenn, her husband. played by Harry
Fisher. The matrimonial troubles of
these two lead to a clever bit of come
dy acting in the first act.
The singing of the chorus of col
ored plantation workers is a rare
treat. Some exceptionally good voices
are in evidence and their singing of
the old, familiar plantation songs is
delightful.

Maryland Aggies
to Play Spiders

With the Maryland Aggies sche-
duled TO open the Spiders baseball
season on Friday at the new home OF
the Colts. Coach Griffin. despite the
chilly weather yesterday afternoon,
after stiff batting and fielding prac~
tice. lined his first and second teams
up for a short game.
The varsity. with Dixon and Snead
as their battery, had a hard time TO
land the victory.
Flanagan and Scales formed the
battery for the scrubs. and ii was
their work that held the varsity down.
With the exception of the battery
and outfield positions the varsity Will
probably lineup for the first game as
they have been in the practice games.
Wiley and Ancarrow are still hav-
ing q royal battle for the second base
position. Both are among the best hit
ters in the squad. SO, whichever loses
out in the fight around the midway
the outfeld. Wiley covers lots OF
ground, but lacks Ancarrow's expert
ence.
With the three hard games right in
row, the coach is fortunate in hav-
Ing three of his pitchers, Dixon, Fla
nagan and Wiley, all in excellent con-
dition, and Duval, Goldsmith and HUI
cher in reserve should hey be need
ed.
Although 1t is little early to de-
eide. it is probable that either DiXor
or Flanagan will start in the boz
Friday against the Maryland Aggies
as they seem to be nearer to their
midseason form.
On Saturday the lovers of baseball
will have the only chance of the sea
son to see Washington and Lee. Last
year this team was one of the strong
est in the South, and Coach Ortiz
claims to have Just as strong a club
this season. although they have beer
in no games so far.
On Thursday and Friday Washing
ton and Lee goes up against Holy
Cross and Yale, respectively, giving
them two hard games before they
tackle the Spiders.
On Easter Monday the Spiders cross
bats with the aggregation from the
