 WON ON UMPIRE S DECISION >
 The ball game between Salisbury and Lakeville at Lakeville was a game that you do not see every Saturday. The boys fought it out for thirteen innings and the score stood to in favor of the fans Burpee the star twirler for Sails bury was there with all kinds of speed and allowed only one hit out side the diamond and little Billy Weeks took good care to see that did not touch the ground. George Traver showed signs of weakening in the twelvth inning and ShllBDuTY kOG GU0lT lllOh HI bAlo l1hlhB but could not score. Now comes the last part of the game and was what good loyal fan would call rotten. Lake vile got man on second and Burpee struck out his man No. and No. 3 got out Burpee to Knickerbocker our old first bag tender, then Burpee prepaired to finish the inning. The first ball he threw, up was so small that the batter could only hear the whiz of it, but the next one hit Jones the catcher and bounded into the crowd. The runner started for third and some one threw the ball into the field. Burpee got back into his box and the ball was thrown to Goddard who bounded it to Burpee he being the pitcher and in his box. Tur- ner the Lakevllle runner was on third and the umpire said for him to go to home plate and by the umpire sending him in on nothing, Lakeville won the game. Now Salisbury if your protest does no good don't feel badly, you out played Ladeville IT hits to and were playing better ball when you were forced to quit so don't loose heart. The public is with you. also the fans. A Fan.

their own skin yesterday. 1t was cut of

sorted to.
Mildred's mother is a poor widow. She
has four children, one younger than Mil
dred The others are Arthur and Isabella,
aged thirteen and fifteen. respectively.
II will give my own skin to save
my Mildred" cried the mother when the
doctors told her Of their decision.
1--WE will give ours. too" sobbed Arthur
and Isabella.
Mildred was moved to the Kings County
Hospital Monday. There Drs. Barber and
Woolsey assisted Drs. Cahill and Brown
in the operation. Mrs. Lynch. Arthur and
Isabella were placed under an anesthetic.
Rapidly the doctors cut the skin from the
thighs of mother and children. Little
Mildred's awful burns were covered be-
fore Arthur. who was first to come out Of
the anesthetic. opened his eyes.
How did Mildred pull through" he
gasped.
Her life is saved said one Of the doc
tors.
All the patients were resting quietly in
the hospital last night. Arthur. Isabella
and Mrs. Lynch, radiantly happy in spite
of their wounds.
1t was the most extensive skin grating
operation in the records of the hospital.

Cumberland, Md. announcing that their
daughuter, Eleanor Celeste. and Roger
Creighton Wheeler had been married.
The message was from the groomsman
and simply read: "'Balbe and are mar
ried.'' It Is presumed the ceremony was
performed In Cumberland some time yes
terday, but at what hour or by whom is
not known.
The young people left Sunday last for
visit to the brides relative, Mrs. L. E.
Rowles, Cumberland, and the message
yesterday was the first animation the
home folks had that the visit had termi-
mated SO Economically.
Inquiry at the home Of the brides par
ents last night disclosed the fact that
there was no objection to the marriage OF
the young people and no reason why they
should have taken this unusual course.
The bride is twenty years of age and the
groom Is twenty-five. He is an optician
in Washington. His father, ArthursWhee-
Ter. Is one of the oldest residents OF the
District and is employed in one of the
government departments. The telegram

ing Residents.

Charged with running disorderly
house. Edward and Elizabeth Green, who
were arrested last night at their home,
near the intersection of 10th and X
streets southeast, failed to put in an ap-
pearance in the Police Court this morn
ing to stand trial, and their collaterals
of s25 each were declared forfeited. The
arrest was made as result of a number
of complaints filed with the police of the
fifth precinct recently relative to the
character of the place conducted by the
two defendants. and especially the OBJ
iectionable noises emanating from the
house at all hours of the night.
Both the defendants were warned to
abate what was nuisance to the neigh
borhood, and, failing to heed this a raid
was made by Policemen Wise and Wood
of the fifth precinct.

INVITED FATE OF HAZEL DREW
GIRL APPEALS FOR DEATH TO
MAN WHO ATTACKS HER..
He Asks Her Not to Tell Sister, But
She Tells Of Wrongs-Vic-
tim of Two Men.

NEW YORK, July 31-"I have been SO
cruelty treated am willing to accept the
fate that befell Hazel Drew" said Loretta
O'Neil, eighteen. Of Brooklyn, as she
stood Wednesday night before William
Mccoy. whose picture Is No. 500 in the
rogues' gallery. in the hallway of the
Stockton street house, prepared to accept
any form of death that he might choose
for her.
Mccoy, striking the girl in the face with
his fist, ran Miss O'Neil. half stunned.
reached the second-foor fiat of McCoy's
sister, where she had been living, and
fell into her arms when the door was
opened.
Pulled Into House.
The girl returning home after a visit
to friends. met Mccoy at Myrtle avenue
and Broadway. He told her he had a
friend whom he wished to meet, and,
as she sought an excuse to get away,
pulled her. she says, into the side door
of a saloon, where another young man
stood. The two tried to drag her up the
stairs. but she fought and screamed. Then
Mccoy, she alleges, said:
III you make another Outcry you will
get what Hazel Drew got"
Fearing that Mccoy meant what he
said. she gave up the fight and the two
men carried her upstairs, where she was
maltreated. She finally broke away from
them and ran to the house of McCOy's
sister, Mccoy followed. and in the hall
begged the girl not to tell his sister. She
pushed him aside and said that she in
tended to tell everything. Mccoy again
threatened her with the fate of Hazel
Drew and the girl replied as quoted
above.
Sister Is Told.
Miss O'Neil did tell Miss Mccoy, and
the latter advised her to go to police
headquarters and tell her story there. She
delayed until early yesterday, when she
visited Capt Kuhne, In charge Of the de-
tective bureau.
Detectives found Mccoy in a saloon at
Broadway and Lewis avenue. From in
formation given by the prisoner the police
arrested Oscar Schuster. twenty-eight, of
No. 1876 Himrod street. They were taken
to headquarters and identified by the
young woman, who later related her
story in the Adams street police court.
Detectives Manning. Davis and Neg
gersmith. who arrested Mccoy. say he
admitted the charge made by the girl but
in court the man pleaded not guilty. Nc
Coy was held in $3.50 bail and Schuster
in $500 for trial next Tuesday. Mccoy Is

girl alleges she was dragged
