Miss Hunt was about twenty-five

Of entleptic fits for some time and her
action Sunday occurred while in q
deranged condition as result of
this trouble. The victim has not been
herself for some time and had con-
templated suicide for some time past.
In fact she had told her mother on
several occasions that she was going
to jump from the bridge and about
noon Sunday left the house headed
for the river. Her mother, who was
the clly one home at the time, fol-
owed her and after going several
blocks brought her back home. A
few minutes later while the mother
was occupied about the house Elsie
slipped ont OF the back door, through
the yard and down towards the river.
She escaped pursuit this time and
plunged onto the bridge and over the
railing into her watery grave.

ing occurred where the channel Of
the river is and because Of the high
ness of the water at the present time.

quaintances there. The family had
lived long there and Mr.. Hunt, now

GAME WILL BE PROTESTED BY

Had Two Men In Lineup Who Have
Played Sunday Ball for
Compensation
Compton 6, Monrovia 5

In one of the hardest fought and most
exciting baseball games of the season
in the Suburban Interscholastic league
Compton defeated Monrovia high school
yesterday morning at the Occidental
diamond by the score of to .. The
Compton nine literally bunted them
selves to victory. In batting, in fielding
and in base running the foothill play
ers were their equal. Several times
with a man at third base the Compton
batter bunted, scoring run in nearly
every instance. Excellent fielding 'on
the part of both teams and many swift
plays characterized the game through
out.
Boyd of Monrovia, on walking to first
base in the first inning, succeeded in
scoring a run. owing to a succession of
misplaced throws and fumbles on the
part of Compton. In the seventh inning
the Monrovia players allowed Compton
to fill the bases, and score of to 3
was piled up against Monrovia. Harvey
knocked home run in the eighth in
ming, bringing in two runs. and making
the score to 3, where it remained.
A large delegation of rooters from
both towns were present. Some slight
unpleasantness was caused in the
| eighth inning by a MonroVia fan becom-
| ing too excited and running into the
uldHlOnu dIleF TWO runs udu De6Il
scored. Compton objected most seri-
ously, but was overruled.
1t has been intimated to the MonroVia
team that two of the Compton men had
been playing Sunday ball and receiving
pay for their services. Yesterdays
game was played on the condition that
if it is revealed that this is true the
game will be forfeited to Monrovia.
HaSken and Gorton are the players un-
der suspicion. Hasken admitted some
time ago playing Sunday baseball, and
his amateur standing was challenged
He was, however, restored to good
standing on condition that he indulge
in no more Sunday or professional ball
while playing on the Compton team
| Since that time it has been reported to
Monrovia that he has played nearly
every Sunday with the Gardena nine,
and that his name on one or two occa-
sions has appeared in the printed line
up. In all probability Monrovia will
contest yesterdays game on these
grounds. Should their challenge prove
valid the championship banner will be
awarded to the foothill players
Following are the lineups of the two
teams:

anything but flattering to his reputa-
ton. Sullivan will make as low
weight as 156 ringside, but will take
on heavier men, as shown by his desire
to mix it with the classy light heavy
weights. He is a sharp-featured, pleas
ant-mannered fighter, an electrician by
trade. and one of those rare curiosities,
a gentleman as well as a pugilist.
That Tommy Burns has made quite a
splash into the Australian inner circles
is evidenced by the clippings he sends

get away with such stuff in this coun~

him by the public of Toowoomba. Long
before the arrival of the Sydney express
the railway station was packed with
men, women and boys, eager to catch a
glimpse of the hero of the hour. On
alighting from the train Burns was
wildly cheered. His hand was gripped
by strangers as though he was their
long lost friend, and he had practically
to fight his way to the conveyance that
was in waiting to take him and his
party to their hotel.

is made up of moving pictures, a dis

cheering subsided. The champion then

given him, and stated that during his
travels throughout the world he had
never received better treatment than
at the hands of the Australian public.
