Mills ; Shifts Line Players y Coach -Tommy Mills' hopes of build ing an impregnable line received a severe, jolt Wednesday when his star center, Dan Condon, was ordered bv a physician to cease playing foot ball , and prepare for an operation1 for ao , pendicitis, Condon was a 200-pounder, and his weight and ability soon proved of value at the center of the line. , '' . . With Condon out of the running Mills was forced to shift Berry, who ihad been disporting himself at left guard, to center and Healey to left guard. Little will play the other guard. This weakens the center of the line somewhat but in weight only, - for "Little, Healey and Berry are full . of ginger and can give and take a lot of mauling. And with Morgan, Coyne, Campbell and Emery to fill out the rest of the line, ait'ed by the redoubt able Payne and Jones.

Richard Watson Tully's fiame"Vill not kindle as great a conflagration as it might have done a'year ago, or may do a few years hence;" at present the American people have moreto think about than the Mexican revolution and the outrages borne therein by Americans who were unfortunate enough to be caught between one or another of the marauding bands. As a protest against the supine policy then pursued by our gvernment it may have some merit; at present, it is cold ashes. It has no flame. ' That Mr. Tully has involved sim ple little love story for the very ob vious purpose of giving background to his other argument, and has gone in for-a mixture ofMaya sun wor ship v and Haitean voodooism, with some Cuban dances and African mu sic to afford atmosphere for his locale, does not stimulate interest to . the point of enthusiasm, j ; ... A rather strange contrast was pre sented on the stage at the Boyd last night, when a former vice-president of the United States appealed to the patriotism of the aaudience, urging that all subscribe for Liberty bonds, and one of the leading characters in the play was that of a smug politician, pretending to represent the United States as consul in an important Mex ican town and denying his citizenship that he might be protected under thei British nag from a bandit's brutality. The incongruity of the situation must have been apparent to mosf who were there. . v The spectacular features of the play have been well worked up for their purpose, Weird music, gfotesque dances ih the deep shadows of the jungle, the jage of -a tropical hurri cane, voodoo processions, and the subterranean iemble 6f the Mayas, all hold interest for those who are, in terested in the mechanics of the theater.
