the matches had closed. The several
defeats sustained are expected TO do
more good than harm. It is a safe bet
anyway that GOucher will OBEY the ref

gain handsome gold medal such as
was given the various winners last

the last tournament held here was re-
sponsibie for Gouchers quitting At

10 think he let his better judgment run
away with him when he forfeited the
match, for the issue was certainly most
forcibly put Up to him by the referee
and Professor Joyce
1t must be said in behalf OF the Balti-
more crowd that even though they did
q srcat deal more talking and kicking
than seemed necessary. they knew the
wrestling game. Many of the finer
points have been carefully instilled into
them and at this phase they showed
marked superiority oveI the washing

CARROLL TOURNAMENT
PROVES BIG SUCCESS
Wrestling Followers Say 1t Viii Give New Impetus TO

Baltimore Men Impressed.

Washington wrestlers feel no partiCu-

at the hands Of the Doyle A. c. crowd
from Baltimore in the South Atlantic
championships held at Carroll Institute
last evening There was no ignominy
in the rouDcing as the score 4 10 3
plainly shows.

pair had made its first appearance It
was readily seen that Washington would
have 20 hustle 20 avoid a swamping.
The final result was greeted as victory
Tor the locals, though the score showed
them 10 be on the short end.

Unlike our similar professional engage

promptly on scheduled time and from

Use Electric Irons a. Little Stoves.

1t remained for a boarding house
full of girls in the city Of Boston to
discover the real merits and possibil-
tiles of the electric flatiron. With
many of these girls enconomy in their
habits was strictly necessary, and
when they found out they could get a
small electric fat iron. which could
be readily attached TO the lighting
fixture, and press all their laces or
even a shirt waist, they were quick
to invest their savings for this little
household economizer but one of these
selfsame girls, with bit of inventive
genius quickly discovered that the
electric iron could be very easily
turned upside down and used as a
small cook stove. On the fiat face of
her iron she easily boiled water,
made fudge or even. fried eggs and
did other cooking.
