'YLL MARRY HIM ANYWAY
GIRL WHO BRAVED HARD
SHIPS WITH BOY LOVER
SAYS IT'S NO USE FOR THEM
TO TRY TO PREVENT MAR
RIAGE.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, April T.
She says she's going to marry him
anyway. So there's every reason
to believe that there will be other
thrilling chapters.
When Cupid last took a hand
In the youthful affairs of Gertrude
Seifert and Tom Foreman, a chap
ter was written which for pure
romance, adventure and all that
goes into the making of a love
story reduces to the commonplace
the most vivid passages of roman
tic fiction.
Frail ladders made of knotted
sheets - autos stalled in snow
banks - angry fathers - armed
posses-hunger and cold in snow
choked mountain passes-torn
clothing, bleeding feet-hiding
and watching in the underbrush
on a mountain side-a lonely
camp fire vigil-beating off depu-
ties with drawn revolvers-threats
to die together--a wild race on
horseback for the Mexican border
surprise - capture - vows of
eternal loyalty.
There's the story, shorn, to be
sure, of its details, but isn't it
romance, pure and unadulterated /?
It's true, too, written in real life,
every word of it, by a girl of fif-
teen and boy two years her
|senior.
Gertrude Seifert is the daugh-
ter of a wealthy retired San Die
go capitalist. Tom Foreman, a
high school boy, is also of a
prominent local family. When, a
few months ago they told their
respective parents that they had
decided to marry, there were
storms in two San Diego homes.
Consent was flatly refused. A
few days later the lovers boarded
"a train for the north. They were
intercepted by telegraph and
brought back home.
A few days ago Foreman Snug
gled word to his sweetheart that
he was ready for another at
tempt. She was waiting for him
when, at midnight, he appeared in
an auto, stocked with provisions,
under her window. Knotting the
sheets from her bed into a rope,
she swung over the sill and a
moment later they were away,
speeding toward the Mexican bor-
der.
OF course something went
wrong, else this would be just an
everyday story of elopement. In
the first spur of the Sierras the
machine stuck in a snowbank and
the fugitives, suspecting rightly
that a posse was already on their
trail, took to the hills. 1t was

they struggled eastward.

for one more step, they sought ref

POLO GROUNDS
BEST In COUNTRY
BY SAM CRANE

New York, August 20.--The appearance
at the Polo Grounds just now is causing
no end of praise from visiting ball play
ers. as we'll as the fortunate patrons OF
the historical ball park.
Groundkeeper John Murphy has a ma
tional reputation In his own particular
line and fully deserves the name he has
as being the best groundkeeper in the
country Murphy loves his work. He Is
natural landscape gardener, and If he
had been educated in the art he would
possibly have made bigger reputation
than he now enjoys. He is in demand all
over the National and American league
circuits, and also by college manage
ments who want their baseball diamonds
and football gridirons put In as perfect
condition as human handiwork can make
them.
The Polo Grounds are justly celebrated.
To one who has visited the grass burned
fields of the ball parks in the west to sec
the Giants home grounds in their present
ma gnifcent condition Is a revelation. One
wonders how Murphy can keep his field
in such superb shape. The grass looks
as green as If it were early spring. The
turf is as close and firm and smooth as
the best cricket fields in England, the
country that Is famous for its well kept
lawns.
How does MuSHhy do it?' is the ques-
ton always asked by visiting players.
He knows how. He loves his work and
is tireless in his caretaking. He takes
pride in his hobby, for the Polo Grounds
is his hobby, and he is never done with
its care. He is constantly studying new
features and when the Giants are away
on the road he never rests. He Is buster
then than when the team Is at home.
Murphys most striking effort this sea-
son was in covering the grass-bare spaces
back of the diamond with layer of black
dirt almost inky in color. and not only
does that furnish pleasant color com
parison with the rest of the diamond but
1t allows no dust even on the windiest OF
days What the new layer of top soil is
Murphy refuses to divulge. 1t is secret
of his own.
Frank Chance of the Cubs was so IA
vorably impressed with the new soil SUBJ
stance that he has ordered two carloads
of it from Murphy to be sent to the Chi
cago ball grounds
The Polo Grounds are the model base
ball grounds of the country, and are so
acknowledged by every player who has
been fortunate enough to play on them
They are an artistic dream.
