SARG'S MARIONETTES
PLEASE AUDIENCE
Tiny Puppets Perform Many Miracles
ut College Auditorium Saturday
Afternoon and Evening

Tony Sarg's Marionettes, under the
management of Charles e. Searle,
were presented at the college audi
forum on Saturday. The Rose and
the Ring" which was of special in
terest to children, was given in the
afternoon and Rip Van Wrinkle was
given for the evening performance.
Thackerays delightful fairy sotry,
The Rose and the Ring" brought
forth much laughter from the chill
.dren during the matinee performance.
All the characters came to life on the
little stage. There was a roaring
lion, a knight in armor, a prancing
charger, fairy, a surly porter who
is turned into a door-knob, the ugly
countess who becomes beautiful when
wearing a magic ring, and many 9TH
er quaint characters.
Rip Van Wrinkle, the evening per-
Torrance OF the Marionettes, is the
most artistic and elaborate of the
puppet productions. The raising of
the curtain disclosed the schoolmas-
ter conversing with the keeper of the
inn. Little tinges of reality and
technique of detail adding to the pic
ture were the smoke issuing from the
mouth Of the inn-keeper as he drew
on his long pipe, the barking of Rips
dog and the breathing of the pig
which lay on the stage.
The Marionettes proved truly an
innovation and the smootheness and
perfection OF their movements was
an outstanding feature of the pro-
duetion. Those who were fortunate
enough to see behind the scenes and
watch the manipulators of the strings
as they put the puppets through their
movements maryelled even more than
those who watched the performance
from the audience.
The Marionettes were two feet in

height and the entire setting Deing IN
proportion to their size the audience
soon became accustomed to their
smallness so that when, at the end
of the performance, Mr. Searle came
in and shook hands with the charac-
ters, the audience was astounded to
find that the puppets appeared so
small by comparison.
The entire production was so per-
fected that the characters seemed al
most alive and they received the same
response from the audience that
would have been accorded a produc-
ton by actors on the legitimate
stage.

Twenty-One cards are taken
from deck and are offered for
shuffling.' They are then handed
back to you, and you proceed TO
deal out the cards in three piles,
one card to each pile in turn, seven
cards to the pile. While doing this
have someone mentally select a
card from one of the Il and
ask him TO observe carefully into
which pile it falls while you are
dealing them out.
When the three piles have been
made ask the person to indicate
into which pile the card was
placed. Put this stack between
the other two-one OF the others
on each side, that is. Then, with
out shuffling the cards again deal
them out as before. into three piles.
Once more ask that the pile into
which the chosen card has fallen
be Indicated. This pack is then
placed betwe cen the other two as
was done after the first dealing.
Without being shuffled they are
dealt in the same manner for a
third time, the chosen card once
more being carefully noted. When
the cards have been piled into the
three stacks request that the pack
toto which the chosen card has this
Time fallen be pointed out. This
done, you will then know just what
The chosen card is. for you must
note carefully the fourth card Of
each pack when dealing the cards
for the third time. The fourth
card of the indicated pile will be
the chosen one. A very mystify-
ing trick.

oNE-LEGGED BOY PLAYS
BASEBALL; OTHERS HAVE p
TO HUSTLE TO KEEP UP

True Story of Real Boy
Imagine a one-legged boy playing
baseball. and running bases on a
crutch!
1t can't be done!
Oh, yes. it can. Paul Webster,
who attends the Sixth street school
in Canton. Ohio. does it, and does
it SO well that the fellows who play
with him, instead Of "babying" him
have to watch out for themselves.
Paul Is better than many of them.
Paul has never been caught sit
ting around with a glum look be-
moaning his misfortune. If the
ball is fouled out of the lot after
it he goes. If 1t Is hit into the
field he is out there chasing it.
He can climb the highest trees.
He tells the other boys that he
has the edge on them there. With
one leg gone he has less to pull
up.
Funny as al crutch" applies to
the crutch which Paul. carries. To
him his crutch is full of fun.

HOW TO PITCH
Value Of Change-of-Pace Ball,


By Grover Cleveland Alexander
Every pitcher who would be i

toire is incomplete. really think
the change-of-pace ball is almost
as valuable to the pitcher as his
curve or last ball.
| find that my change-of- pace
ball is most successful when I
make 1t low. BY keeping 1t down
the batter invariably hits it on top
IL it is kept high he has a pretty
good chance to time it and lace it
for base hit.
In using change-of-Dace ball
do not figure that it will get past
the batter or strike him out, but
| do bank on getting him off his
stride. Usually he is set for a
swift one and be handing him a
change-of-pace ball instead he is
caught off his stride, and ,conse-
quently does not get a good swing.
He either drives the ball into the
ground or it pops up. II you al
ready have a curve. a fast and a
slow ball, and then add good
changeof-pace ball, you will be
able to keep the batters guessing
for all they are worth. They do
not know what is coming next and
consequently will be watching your
every movement.
The ehange-of-pace ball is most
valuable when the opposing side
succeeds in timing your fast and
curve ball.
