Interesting Competition in
Games at Virginia Ave
nue. Fairgrounds.

Seve-r. hundred boys and girls

ginia avenue Fairgrounds, at Virginia
avenue and Eleventh street southeast.
10 participate IN the Field Day Meet.
between the boys and girls OF the
ueighborhood, given under the direc-
ton OF Miss Mabel r. Towner. and
Miss Elizabeth Garnet
There were two events in the morn
ing. one OF which was won by the boys
and the other by the girls. There are
two events this afternoon. three this
evening. and the day viii close with
a baseball game. Owing to the fact
that boys more than eleven years old
are not allowed on the Fairgrounds
and that there is no ago limit for
girls, Il Is probable that the Girls Will
be triumphant. Three games Of voIIey
ball, with six on each side. were play
cd this morning. The boys won two
Of them.
The team was composed OF Julian
Seger. Charles EealI. James Boyd,
George Boyd, Parker Crook, Joe Hard

Discredit the Story.

Navy Department officials and naval
officers generally are today disinclined
TO credit the story that the Italian
cruiser Etna, when on her way past the
Virginia capes to Baltimore last Sun
day, deliberately steamed through the
Atlantic battleshlp feet with the idea
Of spying on or even observing the feet
at target practice.
While these naval officers admit that
had the Etna Intentionally committed
such an act II would. Of course, be con-
strued as a breach Of naval etiquette,
but that such was the case is secuted
by them They point out that the
officers Of the Italian cruiser. coming
here as guests Of this nation. would
not for a moment think OF disturbing
the cordial relations existing between
this country and Italy by thoughtless-
ness or through curiosity.
Furthermore, IL is entirely unlikely.
according 20 Rear Admiral COwles. who
was acting Secretary Of the Navy today
IN the absence Of Secretary Meyer and
Assistant Secretary Winthrop, that the
incident will ever be brought officially
TO the attention OF the department.
Even If Il should its Importance will
not be maguifed 70 the extent that rep
reservations viii be made by this coun-
try TO the Italian government.
The story is absurd" said Admiral
COwles. and II viii hardly be given
credence by naval officers"

CALABRO OF BOSTON
GETS A NEW FACE

II you are not satisfied with your
face. doctors can furnish you with an
other. Stephen Calabro, OF Boston, has
been furnished a new face. he was
satisfied with the one he had. but it was
burned OF by an explosion So the doc
tors Of the Massachusetts hospital
made a new face for him and a new
scalp Il took over three years for
them 10 do SO, but Calabro was sat
listed to wait that long rather than
90 without a face or a scalp.
In March. 1906, the man was injured
by fireworks explosion and his face,
mack. scalp, and arms were a mass Of
what is known TO the medical pro-
fession as -cheloid tissue"
The other day he left the hospital
with new forehead. new eyelids. new
cheeks, a new nose, a new chin. a new
neck, and a new head OF hair.
The operations consisted II skin
transportation and grating. Much Of
the skin was taken from other parts
OF Calabros own body, but his brother
Thomas and other members Of his fam
lily sacrificed portions Of skin to aid
him.
one OF the greatest difficulties met
IN the treatment was the making Of a
new head Of hair. Nearly the entire
scalp had to be replaced. This finally
was accomplished. and now the young
man has prolific crop OF hair as good
as new, which comes well down over
his Observation-Disclosures News.

ITALIAN CAPTAIN
AWAITED SALUTE
Explains Halt of WarShip
During Target Practice
By American Fleet.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. Enlarged
with violating naval etiquette by lin
gering near the United States feet at
target practice of Cape Henry, Cap
tain Baggic, commander Of the Ital-
ian training ship Etna, now in Bal
timore harbor, makes the assertion
that If the Americans had been more
prompt in answering his salute. there
would have been no necessity for him
70 extend almost TO the breaking point
the international courtesy that obliges
a ship saluting to remain IN the vtcin-
ity while the other craft Is given an
opportunity 20 make the return salute.
Captain Bagglo.. IN an interview to-
day, stated emphaucally that while II
was true he did remain in the vicinity
Of the practicing ships, he was never
theless, duty bound TO do so in order
to receive the reply to the salute he
gave as he passed the first ship OF the
line. He declared that when he fired
his guns he anticipated a quick reply
as he steamed along, but, not getting
1t, and approaching that the Ameri-
cans may have been taken unawares,
with no saluting ammunition handy,
ne slowed down and then hove to. When
he heard the salute TO him he steamed
on.
I am indignant that such a matter
has been given publication, and am
surprised as well. We were en- route
from Bermuda and were on our true
course 70 the Capes of the Chesapeake.
Early Sunday morning the first OF the
American ships was sighted directly
ahead, and. without changing our course,
We steamed toward them
AS we reached the first ship in the
line we gave the customary salute, but,
at the same time, we did not know
whether the fleet was at practice. Later,
when we found that they were, II was
too late for Us to change our course,
and we kept on, passing ship after ship
In the meantime our salute had not
been answered. and we slowed down,
passing between the ships and the tar
gets.
While we were passing by the feet
practically every man on my vessel was
on deck, and those who had glasses no
doubt used them to look at the beautiful
fighting craft around us. AS 10 our spy
ing upon them to ascertain any OF their
secrets, why, that is ridiculous"

From Virginia Only Is
Years Old.

She was blond and demure. He was
stalwart, and carried the box which
contained ell OF her earthly possessions
with an air Of a conQuerer. when to-
gether they walked into the office of the
marriage license clerk this morning.
But hey walked out again because
they had both overlooked the fact that
each was eighteen, and, as Mr. Kipling
would say, It all came about because Of
the halcyon summer days in old Am
herst, Va, where men and maids learn

Corbett Clements is the boy; Halle
Ogden. the girl. in the little drama
which was enacted this morning. Time;
10 O'Clock. Scene: The Clerks office.
When the curtain rose Corbett and
Halle were discovered before the long
counter telling Deputy Clerk Of the
Court Lemon how much they cared for
eacn other and how they had made the
weary Journey from Amherst to Wash
ington this morning, all in an hour.
Clerk Lemon. is always glad TO help
the lover, and so he took UP his pen
and asked them their ages.
Eighteen" they both replied.
That put an end to the development
Of the plot right there. Then began q
frenzied search through the courthouse
Tor somebody VINO could recommend a
county seat where boy Of eighteen
may take unto his heart the girl Of his
choice. But all TO no avail
You see Clements father did not know
until the breakfast bell rang this morn

that he had lost one of hie sons.
