CHANGES ARE MADE
IN WESLEYAN TEAM
Two Hard Games Are Sched-
uled For Friday and
Saturday.

BUCKHANNON, April 19.-Last
week was one Of comparative rest for
the Wesleyan baseball team. no
games being scheduled on account of
the try-out track meet and the siren
uous Southern trip just ended. The
coming week has in store. however,
two of the hardest games of the year,
Washington and Jefferson being sched-
uled for the home field on Friday and
Saturday. Ever since the return from
the South daily practice has been the
order and in that time wonderful i'm
provement in the work of the team
has been effected. Two or three
changes in the line up have resulted,
Heavier being played in right field,
Kcllison permanently in left field, and
Looney and o. Shumaker being alter
mated at second base. The placing of
Merrills seems to be permanent and
his work is improving every day.
AS the Southern trip progressed and
the team lost steadily, and especially
when the men returned to throw a
game away at Muhlenburg College,
the prospects for championship con-
tender dwindled. 1t has been num-

CHILD ACTRESS SCORES
 SUCCESS AT POLPS

Hartford has discovered a new
 child player!
 Even in so impossible a play as
 "Llttle Lord Fauntleroy' the new
 theatrical star has been found. She is
 Miss Inez Seabury, the daughter of
 MT. and Mrs. Forrest Seabury who
 have been among the attractions at
 Polls theater for many weeks. For
 rest Seabury is well known as a char
 acter actor, but this is the first ap-
 pearAnce in Hartford of Miss Sea bury
 in a role, and too much credit cannot
 be given her.
 Miss Inez Seabury, who has re- gently passed her 9th birthday annl- versary, took the part of Lord Faunt- leroy himself, which is, by far, the | most difficult and important in the piece. TO say that she is satisfac- tory is undertaking the situation. She l Carried the title role in a manner that is hers alone, not only deluding the audience into the temporary be- ] lief that she was boy which is some thing Of a histronic feat among so sophisticated a lot as are the playgo- 1 CTS of Hartford.
 The sole excuse for Little Lord | Fauntleroy' as a. play is the fact that | it was written by Frances HOdgSOn 1 Burnett, and the sole excuse for Mrs. l Burnett is the fact that she wrote the
 story when she was young, very young. As play, it leaves much to ] be wished for, because it is wildly inn probable, but from the manner in
 which it was presented by the Polt
 players yesterday, it was practically 1 perfect. It is difficult to conceive how l any company could have done better. The story of Little Fauntleroy' is
 we'll known by everybody and is, in ! itself, nothing to brag about. Cedric Errol has been born and has grown up in America, when he is suddenly l called to England as the heir of a l noble house. All goes we'll until an 1 adventures happens along with s spurious heir, but things turn out hap l oily i'll the end It is a slim story ] about which to build a play, but the 1 Poli players do more than one would l believe possible with it-especially l Miss Ynez Seabury, who is now a member of Poli's-remember the l name.

LAST CHAPTER ELAINE
 AT FOX'S TOMORROW

William Faversham in five act photo-lay of Sir Gilbert Parker's bril- liant fictional creation '"The Right of Way will be the attraction at Fox's tomorrow and Thursday when lovers of the silent drama will have their first opportunity of seeing this dis tinguished actor in a silent drama, and that the event will be one of ex- trene interest and mark an epoch in the history of screen, goes with out saying.
 MT. Faversham refused large and bcuntiful offers for two years from Americas foremost producers and finally succumbed to the offers of MT. P. A. Rolfe, only after being definite ly convinced that MT. Rolfe was the most ambitious and artistic producer.
 "The Right of Way in which MT. Faversham appears as Charlie Steele is said to have cost in the neighbor- hood of eighty thousand dollars and is by far the most elaborate and artistic feature yet released on a regular pro- gram. MT. Faversham is supported in 'The Right of Way by Jane Grey and a cast of well-known Broadway players.
 Besides '"The Right of Way for to- morrow and Thursday the Fox pa- irons will see the final chapter of "The Romance of Elaine.'' Elaine 1 has suffered many trials and tribula- 1 tions and through six months of per- secution at the hands of the arch will | lains she comes to her own, and tri- l umphs only through "Love."
