“IN CHANCERY PLATED TUESDAY NIGHT.

' 1 Three-Act Comedy Proves Great Spccogs; Packed Hoase Greets Senior \ -4-gv—ClM* P**J. , The seniors in their class play, “In Chancery,” played to a packed house last night at the Ellis theatre. Every seat was sold and many were turned away. lt was without doubt'a big success, and surpassed the expectations of the audience. “In Chancery” triumphed because of the novelty of its story, the jnirth of its situations and the talent of its principals. Everything in the show got over the footlights, and interested and amused the audience; and from the rise of the curtain at the first act to the singing of the class song that occurred at the end of the performance, there was scarcely a dull moment The main field of action in this delightful three-act comedy lies Steepleton, a railroad junction in rural England, , and the plot begins with a railroad wreck from which the story formulates. The part of Montague Joliffe, the leading 4 man, was admirably acted by Edward Parkisou, who was adapted to the rote. Joliffe had received an injury in the wreek and had been kept in the railroad hostelry of Capt. McCafferty (John Hemphill) for six weeks, nursed to health by the captain’s daughter, Patricia, who incidentally, had fallen in love with him. Joliffe had sustained loss of memory by the accident and was reluctant to enter . Into matrimony with Patricia, which the father had arranged. Joliffe in the meantime discovered that a price was on his head. On the advice of Dr. Titus (Alfred Thompson) be decides to let matters take their course, On the wedding day and shortly before the ceremony, Mrs. Smith (Ethel Davis) and, her maid, Walker (Rose Keeney) and her servant, John Cope Hanley) came to the hotel to rest. It is then discovered through Hinxman (Joe' Reeve) that Joliffe ia wanted for marryirig a ward in chancery, and that Mrs. Smith is really Mrs. Joliffe. JOliffe eludes his bride-to-be and her father and follows Mrs. Smith to a lodging house in Brightan-on-Thames. There things look familiar and his wife, Mrs. Jackson (Esther Padgitt) who is keeping the lodging house, appears. Joliffe’s memory returns and he discovers he is not Joliffe, but Jackson. Mrs. Smith’s servant, John, is the real Joliffe. In the midst of explanations, Dr. Titus, McCafferty and Patricia arrive and the mystery ia cleared. Patricia calls back her love for Dr. Titus, who reciprocates, the court withdraws its objections to Mr. Joliffe, and Mrs. Jackson ia, finally con-' vinced that her husband Whs not guilty of any intentional wrong. The other members of the cast were Virgil Robinson as Mr. Buzzard; John* Groom, Mr. Gawge; Gladys Pierce, as Amelia Anne Buzzard and Lois Meader as Kittles. These were minor parts but were ably handled. Much credit al#o falls on Misses Perkins, Gregg and Barnett, who directed the play. The class song Was rendered at the close of the play by the entire*, class.

LOOKS LIKE ROOSEVELT HAD WON IN OHIO.

Early Returns Show Him In the Lead And ißdleatiens Point to His Havlag All Bat Six Delegates. Early morning papers showed Roosevelt well in the lead in the presidential preference primaries held Tuesday and the Chicago American noon edition, which reaches Rensselaer at 2 o’clock claims that it was a Roosevelt landslide and that he will have 42 and possibly 44 of the delegates from that state, leaving-Taft only 4 or possibly 6. The farmers of Ohio voted against Taft because he .had supported Canadian reciprocity. Cincinnati and Toledo voted for Taft, while Cleveland and Columbus gave Roosevelt a big majority. Lafollette received a large vote in the state but in no district did he secure a delegate. The democrats had a lively contest between Gov. Judson Harmon and Governor Woodrow Wilson. Harmon seems t have received the better of it. The American prints a . telegram from Washington which reads: “Politicians here regard the result in Ohio as the elimination of Taft as a presidential candidate. In view of his own statement that his fate depended on Mi own state, his withdrawal from Yhi race would not be surprising.”

COLLEGEVILLE.

Last Sunday, May 19, the Varsity met St. Xaviers on the diamond for the thifd time this spring and for the third time the score at the end stood 2 to 1. St Xaviers had defeated Che Varsity twice but the latter succeeded in slipping one over the former in the last battle. .The score stood 1 to 0 in favor of St. Xaviers at th*. end of the sixth. With one down Rachor gained the initial sack on an error by Leissing; Whitcomb fanned; Fitzgerald Was purposely given a warlk; Sindelar slashed out a single over short; Landoltl heaved the ball over second and-it bounded on into the crowd. Both runners scored. St. Xaviers protested on the strength of a ground rule allowing only one base on overthrow, to home, first and third hues. The protest, however, was overruled, and by decision of the umpire both runs counted. This left the score 2 to * in favor of the Varsity, and thus it remained to the end. There were many exciting turns in the game. A few times both sides bad the bases filled with none or one out, but could not score. The Varsity lost a few chances when they might have scored three men being thus caught off their guard. 2 base hit—Fitzgerald; struck ob balls, o* Ull 1, off Burkart L Hit
