CHAPTER XVIII.-Continued.

Johnny Everson. small in physique, but
large In brains, self-possessed and con-
fident at all times, had made one of his
nice little speeches to the boys at din
ner, and when he went to bed he was not
thinking about bats, balls or gloves, or
worrying about the part he might have
to play on the morrow. He lay awake In
his berth long time, however, rehears-
ing the impromptu speech he intended to
make at the dlnner, which he knew the
Jefferson boys would give the team
whether the game was won or lost.
Hughe had a good many things to
think about, so he didn't get much time
to let superstition work. He was busy
with his batting order and signals for
the coming game. but just before going
to sleep he did wonder if the grass at
Jefferson was longer and thicker at third
base or first.
Delvin, like a number of the older fell
lows on the team. had made the trip be-
FORE and was not unfamiliar with sleep
ing cars Delvin was a grand fellow al
most all the time, quiet and a great
reader, and he rarely ever kicked about
anything. But put him on board a sleep
er and along about bed time you could
always hear him grumble, and no wonder,
for there never was berth made long
enough to accommodate all of his length,
and so he had to curl up when he slept
on a train, and during the night Arthur
woke up the whole bunch several times
with his grumbling.

WESTERN HIGH WINS.
Army and Navy Props No Match for
GEORGETOWN School,

The Army and Navy Props were no
match for the Western High School team
yesterday afternoon. when the two teams
met on the Western High School grounds,
and the latter was defeated by the score
of II to 0. Eddie Donovan. who started
the twirling for the high school boys,
pitched good ball, as he held his oppo-
nents down to one bingle. and that only
went for one base, while Taylor. who
was on the mound for the losers, was
batted all over the field.
The batting feature of the game was
the hitting of Myers, who knocked out
three clean hits, two two-baggers and a
homer. Taylor, who covered first base
for the losers. played the best all-round
ball for his side both at the bat and in
the field.
Todd. who relieved Myers in the first
| part of the sixth inning, pitched great
ball. Only twelve men faced him in the
last three innings. and not one of them
could connect with his ball. He struck
out nine and forced the remaining three
to fly out.

to officials of the road, and last night
he was in a quandary.

HYPNOTISM LEADS TO
ACTION FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. Myrtle S. NeVatt Charges Mother
iu-Law with Having Caused
Her Husband to Treat
Her Cruelty

Hypnotic influence by her husband s
mother, estrangement and the kidnap-
ing of her little baby on a cold day in
an automobile while she was at work
earning money for a livelihood are
some of the charges preferred by
Myrtle Stanfield Nevatt in a divorce
suit against her husband. Gordon
Henry Nevatt, which was continued
yesterday morning in Judge Houser's
court to next Monday morning.
She seeks divorce on the grounds of
cruelty and asks a decree, alimony
and the custody of their child. She
declares in her complaint that her
husband has deserted her ever since
December 19, 1907, and in spite of let
ters sent to him by her relatives when
she was ill to keep her from going in
sane he coldly refused to go to her
unless she returned to his mother in
Oakland, who is alleged to be the
cause of the trouble between the two.
Mrs. Nevatt states she was COM
PEELED to live with the mother of her
husband in the season of 1867 and
that with the latter's assistance and
connivance the mother endeavored to
control her by hypnotic influence. She
became alarmed and came to her rel
atives in this city and later her nus
band would have nothing to do with
her unless she returned to Oakland,
she declares.
Becoming in need of funds she went
to work in Los Angeles, and March 3
last she declares that while she was
attending to her duties down town
her husband came to the door of her
home in an automobile and carried
away the baby, without even going to
fine trouble to provide it with clothing,
for the day was cold and she believes
her baby is suffering. Since then, she
states, she has not seen her child, and
now asks the court for divorce and
the custody of her child, which was
born after her husband deserted her.

PASTEUR TREATMENT
GIVEN DOGS VICTIM
Or. w. j. Chambers InIects Emulsion
from Spine of Canine Into
Patient and Is Confident
of Success

Or. w. J. Chambers of the board of
health yesterday began the Pasteur
treatment for rabies on e. r. Seldom,
who was bitten by a mad dog about
ten days ago. The operation was per-
formed in the city's chemical labora-
tory, and DIR. Chambers has confidence
1t will prove a complete success.
The operation consists in injecting
an emulsion of the spinal cord of
dog that has been inoculated with
rabies. When the dog develops the
disease after incubation he is killed
and the spinal cord taken out and
dried. The length of time the drying
process continues determines the
strength of the virus. In one days
drying it is very strong. and weakens
with each additional day.
The injection of this emulsion must
continue every day for twenty-one
days. After the symptoms of the dis
ease begin to show this treatment is
of no value but if the patient is treat
ed before the symptoms appear cure
is assured Mr.. Seldom has not devel-
oped any symptoms as yet.
