THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND 8UN-TELEGBAM, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1912.

REHEARSALS' BEGUil FOR ELOTSTREL Show Next Monday and Tuesday Night Promises to Be "Hum-dinger." Indications point to the greatest Itinstrel show ever put on by "home talent" In this city, when the Elks don "black-face" at the Oennett theater, March, 4 and S. At the rehearsal held at the Elks Club last evening more than 100 members were present and the participants are showing histrionic ability. With a few more rehearsals tho professional coach nopes to get the best material out of the club. The scenery, electrical effects and costumes are being furnished by the 8. A. Orubbs Minstrel syndicate of Chicago and will be the best seen in Richmond for some time. The principal comedians are Joe Peltz and John Zwlssler. The ballad singers are F. I. Braffett, Otto Krone and Howard Kamp. Among those who will be conspicuous in the show by the prominent parts they have are Myron Mnlsby. Gus Pfafflln. Walter Kggerjeyer, Ed Wilson, Carl Maag, George Bayer, Jeff Myers and Ralph McGurk. Rehearsal Is being given to a playlet entttled "The Ebonyville Elks Reception." There are fourteen principal parts in the play, the entire cast numbering Jlfty. A great deal of Interest is being taken in the show and there Is no doubt but that he S. R. O. sign will be hung in front of tbe theater early each evening a performance is given.

The Theaters "NAUGHTY MARIETTA." Comic opera, in contradistinction to musical comedy, held the boards at the Gennett Jast evening and any confirmed theatne-goer who wasn't canny enough to perceive the difference chould forever be condemned to attend performances of "The Beauty Spot." Me fleserves no worse inferno. "Naughty Marietta," as seen in Richmond, while not the original cast Tretini Awvlng created tbe role In tho beginning at which time she sans against Otvllle Harroki was an excellent and tvell balanced one, including sixty-seven persons, carrying ten in th orchestm. augmented by six from the Oennett organization. Victor Her Vert one of the most fanous of America's director-composers Is happy In the score, this musician's cureness and .tghtness or touch, technical deftness and poetic conceptions lending themselves admirably to the .vrtting of Interpret at rve music of this character, the variety and richness of Its harmonic caniatrwttlon and Its aduptabllity to the ftramattc action being markedly felicitous. Herbert's musical erudition united to that of Rida Johnson Young's literary talents, made an irresistible combination, in short, and one notable in compositions of thl class originating In this country, the ofDect being accentuated by the vocaf media through which it was filtered. Florence Webber, who Is the possessor of an extraordinarily flexible soprano of much sweetness and purity of tone. Is also a clever actress, her interpretation of the role of "Naughty Marietta" the run-away daughter of noble French parents a fascinating, tormenting, magnetic and altogether delightful little minx feeing entirely charming. Miss Webber showing her musical erudition, alau, in the management of a seemingly light and yet difficult role, never unduly accentuated at either pole. She preserved in fact, not only the musical but the theatric verities. The story Is one of eighteenth contut y life In New Orleans, and the complications Incident to the arrival of a avniber of French girls in Louisiana with matrimonial intent, among whom Naughty Marietta", has been numbered. A certain American captain, who Is ranging the seas in pursuit of the darln buccaneer, who poses as the son of the Lieutenant-Governor, the latter telng charge d' affaires during the absence of the Governor himself Is the hero. The voices of the principals were all tood. the tenor of Mr. Juan Cardo, who took the role of "Captain Dick." later the successful lover of "Naughty Marietta," being or an appealing qualfly. bis solo numbers being repeatedly encored. Miss Cara Crendelli. as "Adah." the Blare of the son of tho lieutenant-governor, had powerful and musical contialto of organ-like range, the heavy dj.fbo of Edouard Beck, who Impersonated the latter, admirably complementing the former in their double numbers. The comedy parts were well taken by Sid Braham, as "Silas Slick," Captain Dick's servant, and Blanche Latell, as "Lixette," one of the French arrivals, the tatter's makeup being especially mirth provoking, although tbe suspicion "obtains" that she may have been a sop for the average American tlteatre-goer -who wants "laughs" In his theatrical entertainment John Horn as the keeper of a marionette theatre also had a good voice, the setting for the latter being Interesting. The dancing was brilliant and effective, the chorus ensemble satisfying, and the purely orchestral numbers elicited much applause. "Naughty Marietta," In fact, was a delightful example of Its class of mu-alo-theatrics. E. O. W.

A Hoosier Fighter Making Good

' ' -1 J

CHJCK HAXES INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2S.- Here's tli: Hoosier "chicken" who gave Monic Attell, the veteran bantamweight lighter, two of the greatest surprises of his long ring career by beating Attcl! twice within two weeks in the faBtest frays , ever held in Indiana. Chick Hayes, nineteen years old, has nsen from a preliminary battler to one of the main contenders for Johnny t'oulon's buntam laurels in the brief period of three months. His right to lorce Coulon to prove his superiority is vouched for by the fact that he won twice from Attell and once from Geo. Kitson, two of the best little millers in rh class, within about one month. Hayes never has been beaten and, lt tough he has just started his conquest for the title, has proved better than any of the others who have faced him. Hayes is conceded by experts who have watched him work to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest, fighter in the ring today. His lightning "Rags," a black and white, bedraggled bunch of doggish perversity, is subdued, and now instead of flaunting his face, innocent of a life preserving muzzle, in the faces of the pursuing police, he slinks about with a wire lautzle over bis countenance, for his owner by a series of stragetic moves finally cornered him, compelled the disgusted "Rags" to comply with the euict of the health authorities. During the last quarantine "Rags," muzzleless as when he was born, even slept in tbe city building entrance and dried the police to end his career. He could tell a policeman a mile away, maybe their feet, but anyhow he knew thtm, in uniform or plain clothes, and although an ordinary pedestrian could TWO FACTIONS JOIN South Carolina Republicans Are for Taft. (National News Association) COLUMBIA, S. C, Feb. 28. The Ad-lune-Cochran-Harris faction of the Republican party in South Carolina has completed arrangements for the holdIns of Its State convention here tomorrow to select delegates to the national convention. The opposing faction, known aB the "Lily Whites" and led by John G. Capers, National Committeelran, will hold its convention later. Both factions claim to represent the "regular" Republican organization of South Carolina and the two delegations will fight for recognition at the Cnlcago convention in June. Each faction has declared itself for Taft for Piesldent. OBITUARY William Crook, son of Jacob and Christina Crook, was born Juy 26. 1S82, departed this life Feb. 21, 1912. aged 79 years, 6 months and 24 days. He was united in marriage to Amanda Huff, August 24th, 1834. To this union was born two sons and three daughters, one son and one daughter having preceded him several years ago. He leaves a wife, two daughters, one son, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, and other relatives to mourn their loss. Mr. Crook was born and reared in Center township, three miles southwest of Centerville. He had been in failing health for some time, was the last one of nine children. During bis last sicknes he appreciated tbe kindness and help of his neighbors and friends. He said it was nice to have plenty of good friends and was a believer in tho Bible. He will be missed in the entire community. The funeral was held at Jacksonburg and was conducted by Oliver Beeson of Shirley, and Harry Boyd of Greensfork. The remains were laid to rest in the Jacksonburg cemetery.

speed and marvelous footwork dazzled At.ell completely and Kitson was helpit ss before the Indiana youngster. In the last battle with Attell he cut the Pittsburg boy's face ba'dly and showed his superiority in every phase of the game, escaping the fast, ten rounds without a mark or any sign of fatigue. Hayes declares if given twenty rounds with Attell he can furnish the spectators with the "ten-count" act. Hayes is after the winner of the Cou Ion-Burns battle at New Orleans on Mardi Gras Sunday and may get a l;3nce to try for the bantam crown befoe another two months have passed. If the youngster gets the opportunity and makes good it will be the quickest rise to fame any fighter ever experienced. Backers of Hayes say the boy is good enough to break even with Coulon in any distance go, and would not be surprised if he would beat the title holder. One of these is Ray Bronson, welterweight champion, who is developing Hayes. pet his moppy head, a policemap coming around the corner a square away was the cue for Rags to leave, and this he did with unerring precision. The police chased him, but he only laughed behind his cury mustacheio, which extends back to about one foot in front of the tip of his tail. They laid traps for him. but of the bait he did not eat, preserving consequently, his life, liberty and constitutional right to pursue GtS. When he passed the city building now, where formerly he raced by with tail high in the air and an aggravating grin on his face, his head droops and his tail is at half-mast. He feels the disgrace as keenly as the cops enjoy his discomfiture. DEHK JSMAG(IATE Elected Vice President of the Baseball Club. Roy W. Dennis was elected vice president of the Richmond Baseball association at the regular meeting of the directors of the organization held last evening at the office of Attorney Ralph Husson. Dennis was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Perry Zindorf. Routine matters were discussed and the matter of purchasing uniforms for the team was brought up. A communication received from the head of the K. I. O. league has brought on considerable discussion on this matter. The letter stated that all uniforms worn by players in the league must be made by a certain firm because of a two-year contract. Whether this will affect the local club is not known as Richmond was not in the league at the time the contract was made. Nothing will be done until President Frank Crump returns from the league conference, which is to be held at the Sinton Hotel at Cincinnati next Sunday. The schedule will be announced after President Crump's return. A number of letters are being received by Secretary Roy Peck from players who desire to hook up with the local aggregation for the coming season. The secretary is also in receipt of letters from other clubs who desire to play games with Richmond prior to the opening of the league schedule. Killing a Robin. There are persons at tbe present day and not all old women, either who believe that killing a robin will bring bad luck. According to ancient belief, the storm cloud was a huge bird. The Arabians represented his wings ss measuring 10.000 fathoms. This bird lived on worms, the latter being the streaks of lightning accompanying storms. The Germans remodeled the fiction by creating the god Thor, whose bird was the robin. Consequently to kill a robin first meant death by lightning, then bad lock.

PLAY I EVER. 5 AS TOLD TO ftisto S. Wcrton By CLYDE MILAN, Outfielder, Washington Club, Who Is! Rated One of the Fastest and Best Center Fielders in the American League. The best play I think I ever saw was one that Schaefer and McBride worked against the New York club one day last season. It was the fastest thing I ever saw since I broke into the big circuit, and It saved a game for Walter Johnson that seemed to have been thrown away. Johnson was beating tfiem and pitching a great game, but we got to kicking the ball around late in the game I think In the seventh inning, and that they had scored twice and It looked as if they would beat us. With two runs across the plate, runners on first and third and with no one out, it looked bad, but Johnson settled down and struck out the next man, putting Washington Into position to make a double play and save the game. There wasn't a big chance of a double play, as Cree, who is fast go ing to first, was hitting, and there was ; a fast man on first. Schaefer had ; Just gone in at first base, and Cree j hit the ball like a shot back at John-' son. Our second baseman saw the i ball coming and was going toward second base as hard as he could to try to head it off, which threw the whole infield out of position for the play that Ciyde Milan. followed. Luckily for us, the runner on third base thought Johnson had stopped the ball, and hesitated about starting home when the ball was hit, The ball went so hard that when it hit Walter's hands it bounced off toward Schaefer, who came in fast and grabbed it while on a dead run. He certainly was doing some fast thinking, for he knew before he got to the ball that neither Johnson nor our second baseman ever could cover first in time to get the . runner, and that it was impossible for him to go back to first. He saw a chance and snapped the ball down to McBride, while bluffing as if to throw to third. The runner on third jumped back toward the base, and Schaefer, looking at third base, threw to second. From where I was it looked exactly as If he was throwing to third, and the runner going down from first thought so, too, for he turned second to take a lead up toward third, and McBride, grabbing the ball, tagged him and as he touched him he fired to third. Elberfeld blocked the runner off there, tagged him out, and they made a double play on a clean base hit, catching two men off the bases. It wasn't bad base running either, but the quick thinking and acting, and Schaefer's trick in throwing in one direction while pretending to throw another, made the play possible. It was, I believe, the fastest and cleverest piece of baseball X ever saw in my life, and it was performed so rapidly that some of the scorers, who had nothing to do bc.t sit and watch it, got Into an argument as to who handled the ball, and had to come down after the game and get some of the players to explain It before they finished their scores. It was so fast and tricky that they were fooled into looking at third base, too, and didn't know how the ball was handled at short at all, or how the runner was out there. Most of them thought he was forced. (Copyright. 1911. by W. O. Chapman.) Cautious. Mrs. Wsyback Ye ain't a racin' man, are ye? Summer Boarder No, madam. Why?
