...less remarkable than the fact of their adaptability to continual renewals of repertoire. The genuine vigor with which the Castle Square company carries its kaleidoscopic work is certainly curious to note. And the voices and pantomime of the principals seem, beyond understanding, to improve under each week's new strain. Last night, for instance, Mr. Murray's singing and all his ordinarily difficult character portrayal were, or seemed to be, even better than Murray's. He was a capital Myles na Coppaleen, good-hearted and cheery and free of manner, and free of mannerisms. His make-up was distinctly better...

...HAVEN, Conn., June 4. - It is now almost certain that Walter Carter, the Yale pitcher, will be unable to occupy the box again during his college course. In the game in which Yale was beaten 9 to 7 by the New Yorks, Carter strained a ligament of his pitching arm. He failed to take care of it, and the strain has been aggravated. Carter now wears his arm in a bandage, and his pitching days are over. He will probably finish the season as third baseman on the Yale team. He has during his college career played every position...
