Club StiIl Looks Stronger.

Despite the disastrous and even some
what foolish defeats in Boston-the ez
hibttiOn games may be thrown out
Washington looks stronger than last
year. bur the team has not yet settled
end is doing things it viii probably not
do later on
The charge will be made that IL is get
ting too many hits with two men out, but
an examination OF the games played to
date will show that a surprisingly large
number of the total runs scored have been
with two out. This has won little, but
1t has proved that the team has latent
pinch-hltJinE possibilities and gameness.
These are elements that count mere than
anything else with the real fans. and are
points about which they are most
sOlicitous.
Occasionally. such as yesterday. the
team has played not only bad, but more
or less stupid ball. but these hits have
come In flashes and have been Offset by
really creditable and at times very
classy fielding, not only individually. but
in working together. which mas been a
great comfort to see.

Local Players Give Remark
able Exhibition of Team
Work.
CantWell Lets Visitors Down
With Six Scattered
Hits.

BY a display of team work. which
was all the more remarkable in view
Of the performance OF the day before.
Georgetown trimmed Pennsylvania yes
terday in the first Of two games which
the QUakers will play here. by to >.
Things looked gloomy for the home
team until the fifth session. Twitmeyer.
on the firing line for the visitors, had
his opponents guessing hard for the
early innings, then let down in the fifth
and permitted Georgetown to score the
four runs that won the game
With two out, in the third, Cantwell
was touched fer two singles. Schlahy's
error and a wild throw tailed Londri-
gan.
NeaT-Run in Fourth.
For the first time. in the fourth
Georgetown got a man 10 first. Mess
and Courtney singled. but the next went
down in order The deluge came in the
next inning. Four hits and a lapse in
head work of the visitors Melted four
runs. In the seventh the locals scored
again when Duffy and Cantweu singled
and the former went home on Mess pop
ny TO short. In the eighth Penn scored
its second run. ThaYer was hit by
pitched ball and LOndrigan singled.
Duffy's wild throw to second sent Lon
organ 10 lnlIur ana ne crossed the
plate on Springs hit.
After the NTH the visitors display
excellent form, and TWitmeyeT closed
up and was as puZZling as before. Mess
and Duffy carried of the batting hon
Ors, each getting two hits. Schlaiy and
Pallen were the only members Of the
local squad who failed to connect. Pal
lens work at short more than made up
for this He played the position to re-
lfeVe Howard Smith. who was all in
after his strenuous work of the day be-
fore against Princeton. Pallen's record
yesterday will probably win him
place on the varsity team at the first
vacancy
Gets Good Support.
The presence Of CantweII in the box
for Georgetown seemed 10 inspire con-
idence in his supporters. and his sup
port as much as his pitching was in
strumental in GEORGETOWN victory
That should not detract from his credit
He pitched a star game. and kept
PENIS six hits well scattered.
Today the same teams meet in the
concluding game OF the series. Harry
Devine is slated to pitch for George
town. while Simpson Will probably be on
the rubber for Penn.

AFTER RIVALS FIGHT
GIRL MARRIES LOSER
VICTOR FINED $75 FOR ASSAULT
AND BATTERY
Colorado Judge Who Tried Case Was
at Once Called Upon to Tie
Nuptial Knot for the
Happy Pair

FORT GARLAND, Colo, July h.
A story of interesting romance comes
from Mancos, but it's ending is lit
tie out of the ordinary, and not ac-
cording to the tales of knighthooo
days.
In this case two bold young knights
fought a desperate fist battle for the
heart and hand of a pretty young
woman, the daughter of a minister OF
the gospel, but the loser won the girl
and the victor was hailed before dis
trict judge miles away and fined $50
on the charge of assault and battery.
The young woman appeared as a wit
ness against the victor, and later the
Judge who fined him tied the nuptial
knot which made her the bride of the
vanquished.
Father Favors Rich Sutton
The principals in the story are
Charles II. knight, a young business
man and merchant; his bride, olive
Holden Knight; Roscoe Booth, the
muscular young son of wealthy
stock grower and the Rev. Charles w.
Holden and wife.
The Holdens went to Maneos from
Cortez about year ago. Olive Hol-
den, their daughter, is very hand
some young woman. Knight and Booth
met the young woman and both feH
in love with her. The father of the
girl favored Booth, who was both big
ger physically than Knight. and
seemed to have better financial pros
poets.
Miss Holden, however, favored
Knight, and she refused Booth. Final
ly she and Knight became engaged, but
the Rev. Mr. Holden finally prevailed
upon her to break the engagement and
accept attentions from Booth. This
state of affairs continued up to within
a short time ago, when Miss Holden
babe Booth to call no more, and re-
newed her engagement to Knight.
The Winner Then Loses
Booth did not take his dismissal in a
kindly manner, and accused Knight of
being responsible for Miss Holden's
change of mind. Knight denied the
accusation and laughed. Then Booth
attacked him, and the two engaged In
a bitter fist fight, in which the former,
because of greater weight and more
physical strength, was returned the
victor.
Knight had Booth arrested, and he
was taken TO San Luis on Tuesday for
his trial in the district court. He was
fined $75 and costs and admonished to
remain peaeeahle hereafter by Judge
Holbrook. Knight pressed Miss Hol-
den, who was a witness in the case,
for an immediate marriage, and she
consented. When court adjourned for
the evening Judge Holbroolx went to
the home Of County Clerk Meyer,
where he married the young couple.
