ing preceded the game.
For the first and second innings Dill
pitched for the Hotchkiss players
Then he strained his back and retired
from the game. He was followed by
an unknown, who was later replaced
by Homer Griffith. BY actual count
Dill struck out twelve men, but the
catcher for his side was unfortunate
enough to miss almost all of the balls
that came over, so that all of the men
succeeded in getting from one to three
bases on the strike out.
Mighty Catcher Strikes Out
Desmond, in his position as catcher
made no errors, although the doughty
athlete struck out most of the times he
went to bat. Frayne of the Grand thea
ter was another who was afflicted with
the tanning habit, and he swept the air
vigorously several times.
Although the last pitcher for the
Hotchkiss was slightly overweight he
lobbed them over sufficiently strong to
fan many of the opposition players.
In the grandstand were most of the
actresses in Los Angeles, and they
rooted vigorously for their favorites.
There We're also a large number of
women who were not from the theaters,

Edward Hutchison of the Hotchkiss
overlooked something when he missed
a warm liner sent out to him by Des-
mond, and just for that he got no
lager from the bat boy. In the second
inning Kolb hit a seemly one over in
the right pasture and from the sec
ond TO the third bases he went in four
steps.
kolb Wakes Sarcastic
When the riot of errors which the
Hotchkiss players INDUCED in along
in the middle of the game was at its
height, and every one who handled the
ball at all threw it at least six feet
above the man who was waiting to re-
ceiVe it, Kolb, In gentle irony, shouted
Don't throw the ball; carry it," His
advice was not taken, but 1t should
have been.
The only accident i'm the game, bar
ring when Desmond was brushed by
the ball and claimed a base for being
struck, was when Joseph le Grasse
was struck on the head by pitched
ball. 1t seemed like a fearful blow
but he went to first base and brought
in a run.

DESERTS HOME

MOTHER LEAVES HUSBAND
AND CHILD
William T. Montgomery ls Given
Decree of pvorce-Wife Has
Studied a Year in Euro-
pesn Capitals

William f. Montgomery, president
OF the Montgomery -Mullin Lumber
company of Los Angeles, was yester-
day granted an interlocutory decree of
divorce from Mrs Miriam r. Mont
gomery by Judge Gibbs in department
two of the superior court.
The story told Of the troubles Of the
Montgomery family in court yesterday
was a queer one.
Montgomery, who is considered by
all his friends as a good and loving
husband, brought the suit for divorce
on grounds of desertion. The family
has always stood high i'm local social
circles and Mrs. Montgomery has been
q leader in all movements tending
toward the advancement of art and lit
erary societies.
They have one child. a 13-year-old
girl, and up until a few months ago
It was generally thought that the
Mont gomerys were perfectly happy.
But trouble had been brewing in the
household for some time. Mrs. Mont
gomery, engrossed with her studies of
music. art and literature, began to
draw away from her usband. Hoping
to humor her. Mr.. Montgomery sent
his wife away to Europe. and for
more than a year she Travelled in the
countries of the continent. studying
music in Berlin and art and literature
In Paris.
While her friends were making ready
to receive her upon her return to Los
Angeles. Mr.. Montgomery received
first news that his wife had decided to
leave him. Upon her return from
abroad, according to the statements of
friends. Mrs. Montgomery refused to
live with her husband, and she re-
&ttt.V ae1 70 Of ave. In, Do
dena and devoted herself entirely to
her studies.
Is Welded to Her Art
Montgomery deserted and with the
care of his child attempted a recon-
ella ton, only to be told that Mrs.
Montgomery would never again live
with him.
Finally he filed suit for divorce, and
at that time, according to the state
ments of his attorney, he settled $4,000
upon his wife so that she could live
comfortably until such time as she had
placed her art creations in public de-
mand.
Yesterday there were only few
spectators in court when the case was
called and Montgomery took the stand.
But those who were there were as
founded at the mans considerate bear
ing toward the woman from whom he
was seeking a divorce. Not one word
of criticism did he have for her.
Every sentence he uttered was a
compliment for the mother of his child
and as a last explanation he said:
MY wife has always been one of
the best women in the world, and the
only way l can understand her action
in leaving me is that she has devoted
her whole soul toward the pursuits of
her studies.
'.She is an ardent student of music,
art and literature, and especially since
her trip to Europe she has been so
engrossed in them that she finally de-
cided to spend her time entirely with
them. To that end she decided that
married life would be a drawback and
] can see no chance for reconcilia ton
Montgomery's manly, straightfor-
ward testimony was followed by evil
dence offered by others, and Judge
Gibbs granted the man an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce and the custody
of the child.

the opponent two years hence of the avowel

They and the artillery officers nave been

The plot was discovered only because
one of the officers lost a carefully drawn

his family.
The ownership of the elaborate plan was
traced to the officer and a confession was

The social character of the gathering did
not prevent the guests from taking up the
subject of routes TO be used by the various

station. The Washington and Electric
Traction Company has plans for occupying
several streets with its new tracks and
there has been some opposition to the plans
from several of the citizens associations.
Informal Discussion.
The matter was laid before the members
OF the associations present and some of
the guests told the reasons for their OPP
position. The discussion was prolonged to
a late hour. but it was believed after the
guests had left that both sides understood
each other better and there was reasona BILE

subject of additional suburban service was
also gone into.
