A significant fact anent the "Too
Much Mother-In-Law" play at the
Auditorium next Friday night, is
that the management announces
very short pauses between the acts.
The average man (and woman) dis
likes to wait, and although the Cam.
bridge Band never fails to. furnish
the music that hath charms to
soothe the savage beast, the inter-
ested spectator is impatient to get
on with the play, necessarily I'M
aware of the difficulties attendant
upon staging professional play
on an amateur stage, and the really
wonderful dexterity with which the
poorly equipped "hands" work
changing the scenery.
1t is with a due appreciation h low

Faculty suspends Athlete:

Annapolis, Md, May S.-John j.
(Lefty) Wilson, star athlete at St.
Johns College, was suspended to-
day by order of the faculty, and the
members of the baseball team are
lamenting his loss, as two or three
of the most important games of
the seasons schedule remain to be
played.
Incidentally, it became known,
when the edict of the faculty went
down the line, that Wilson has
signed with Griffith's Washington
team. It is said that his contract
calls for him to join the Senators
June LIST.
Wilson could we'll be classed as
a utility player. This year he has
been the mainstay of the pitching
staff. He is left-hander and has
plenty of shoots, with splendid con-
troll, and is cool under all con-
ditions. His regular position in
former years was at first base, which
he covers very creditably, though he
has often played in the outfield.
Furthermore, he is about the surest
hitter of the st. Johns aggregation.
One of his greatest triumphs from
the twirling standpoint was his
work against the Navy several
weeks ago, when he held the Mid
dies to two hits, St. Johns winning
the game, s to 0. He also has
performed well in other games this
season.
The suspension of Wilson by the
faculty is for period of two weeks,
but as the scholastic year ends in
June it is understood that he will
not return to college. The action
Of the faculty was taken, it is said,
because the crack athlete had too
many dement's chalked up against
him; that he seldom attended drills
with the cadet battalion, and fur
thermore he has been none too at
tentive in studies and Rotations.
Wilson was also the star half
back and punter of the football
team last fall. On the gridiron he
is better remembered by his splen-
did execution of the forward pass,
his left-hand losses, with accuracy
and for long distances, having been
highly commended by many experts
who saw him in action, though he
is q versatile player in other re-
spects.

Is Wanted At the West Ky.

Avery strange fact, and one that
| regret, is that no formal religious
service has ever been held in the
Orphans home by the pastors of
any of the churches in our city. The
preachers have so far overlooked
these children, and such a service in
the afternoon of Sunday would be
very welcome. Our children sing
well and would enter into and enjoy
such. | bring no partison influence
to bear on them, do not dictate to
them what church or Sunday school
to attend but leave that wholly to
their choice, and during the year
three of our wards have been bap-
tized and become members of the
West Side Baptist church. desire
these young converts to have all pos
sible assistance in living a consistent
christian life.
If our pastors regard this as wor-
thy of their time and notice they
will find me ready to cooperate
with them in endeavoring to teach
and better the condition of all these
unfortunate and dependent children.
