League was witnessed last night, when
the strong Catholic and Presbyterian
teams met at the Y NJ. c. A. The
Catholic team was again victorious,
but they were played harder than by
any other team which they have yet
met The score was "a to II.
The game was a fast one from the
start. and was considered rather
rough by the spectators Cuchman,
of the Presbyterians, had his nose
broken early in the game and retired,
Roberts taking his place and playing
the remainder of the game.
The Catholic team displayed excel
lent team work. showing hard prac-
tice while the Presbyterians were
lacking in their team play, and while
the game was not in doubt from the
start the contest was n:ucn more in
teresting than some of those which
have been played, when the we'll

the two teams were as follows:

~ without foundation. On the con-
trary the heads of the navy depart

conceded that League Island offers IA

Coupled with these facts must be con-

TEARS BURNED THEIR WAY
DOWN CRIMSON CHEEKS.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Feb. 21.-Under a cross
examination, wherein District Attor-
ney Jerome gave no quarter, Mrs. Eve.
lyn Nesbit Thaw broke down today
on the witness stand in the trial OF
her husband With tears burning
their way down her crimson cheeks
she admitted that, after her first ex.
perience with Stanford White, her re-
lations with him continued for many
months. Other confessions, while
damaging her character, accentuated
the terrible sacrifice she is making
In the effort to save her husband from
legal death.
Thaw, with face buried in his hands,
cut but little figure In the case today.
All eyes were upon the figure in the
witness chair. which Jerome an
nounced. would be kept under fire for
two more days.
After telling Of her continued rela-
tons with White, Jerome compelled
the admission that after her return
from Europe in 1905, she and Thaw oc-
cupied adjoining apartments at hotel
for three weeks
Mrs. Thaw frankly admitted that
the champagne she had declared
tasted bitter on the night that she
lost consciousness in the mirrOred
bed room was no more bitter than any
other champagne she drank and she
denied that she intended the jury to
assume otherwise
She made what were considered her
most damaging statements to defend
ant when she said he had shown her
copies of cablegrams being sent to
White from Europe asking him to use
his influence with a certain man in
London to prevent Mrs. Nesbit from
raising a fuss and interfering with
Evelyn continuing in company with
Thaw.
Jerome brought out cablegrams sent
after Thaw knew of the relations
which had existed between Miss Mes
bit and White. Mrs. Thaw was also
forced to admit that when she and
her mother went abroad in 1903, she
was given letter credit for five hun
dred dollars by White. and which she
later gave to Thaw. A letter written
by Mrs. Thaw in 1904, telling of her
gay life in Paris with Thaw and a
bunch from the tenderloin," was read
TO the jury by Jerome

her past life about which the prose
