DEATH OF MISS STEVENSON
Former AnnapOIitan Passes Away Ia
Philadelphia

Miss Elizabeth Stevenson. formerly
Of this city, died yesterday in Phila-
delphia after lingering and painful
illness. The deceased was a great
sufferer for two weeks and death
came as a blessed release to her
pain-racked body.
Miss Stevenson was a sister of Mrs.
Frank b. Mayer, widow of the we'll
known artist, who lived here, and
whose work The Burning of the
Peggy Stewart, and other historic
paintings, hang in the State House
rotunda and galleries. Miss. Steven
son lived here with her sisters, Mrs.
Mayer and the late Mrs. Brown, for
some years on Market street, but
later removed to Philadelphia, where
the funeral will take place tomorrow.
The deceased was a WON an of
wonderful force of character, highly
intellectual and cultivated. From
early childhood she had been afflicted,
having to be wheeled in a chair most
of the time. Despite her affiiction
she was always cheerful, good -natured
and happy. Although the sunshine of
her own life was overcast by shadows
of affiiction and suffering, she always
cast sunshine into the lives of others.
Naturally of happy disposition,
she strove to make others happy.
She was wholly unselfsh and thought
always for others rather than for her
own comfort. She was constantly
busy that others might be benefited,
especially little children, for whose
welfare she gave sums of money and
devoted much time.
Always deft with her needle, she
did most artistic work to be donated
to hospitals and charitable institu-
tions, mostly in Philadelphia. st
one time she gave beautiful exhibi-
tion of her work here for a local
charity. The many Annapolis friends
of Miss Stevenson sincerely mourn
her death. She lived we'll. Her life
was an inspiration and her memory
is a benediction.

BROKE BALL GAMES EVEN
Annapolis Crack Club Takes One
And THE Maryland Meter
Association One
TEAMS ARE ENTERTAINED
Visiting PLAYERS And Home Aggregation
Dined By William II. Vansant Yes.
terday

In the doube- header games between
the Annapolis and the Maryland Meter
Association mines on st. Johns Col
lege diamond yesterday, the two teams
celebrated the Fourth by splitting
even on their contests. The visitors
took the first game i'm the morning by
a score of to 3, and in the afternoon
the locals retaliated by drubbing their
visitors to the tune of 10 to s.
The day was marked by an increased
interest in the success of the Annap-
oils club, and by the gaining of a
strong and substantial friend for
them. Following their game in the
morning, Mr.. w. II. Vansant, proprie-
tor of Vansant's Cafe, on State
Circle, entertained the visiting team
for the locals at dinner, and repeated
this at supper time, following the
second game. He then gave a
spread" for the local team.
Mr.. Vansant's generosity made
distinctive hit with the players of
both teams, and gave the Annapolis
nine's management big boost in
financial way, as it is by no means a
small part of the locals financial bur-
den to feed and properly entertain
thr visiting opponents.
During the spread for the Annapolis
team, after their opponents had left
for Baltimore Mr.. Vansant was toast
ed many, many times, and Mr.. August
Lutz, who has also manifested much
interest in the welfare of the home
club, which he helped to organize, was
also toasted and commended.
Annapolis has good team that un-
doubtedly deserves more support from
the townspeople than it has been get
ting and the example set by Messrs.
Vansant and Lutz will be followed by
others.
The games themselves yesterday
were we'll worth the watching, al
though the visitors did capture one.
The morning contest was lost largely
through the inability of the local men
to connect safely with the delivery of
Fanwell. who was on the slab for the
visitors. The result by innings was:
Meter 201 l 0 / 2 0
Annapolis 81 20 100 0 90 0
Things went better for the locals
in the afternoon game, in which they
coupled with Cooper's delivery for
total of fifteen hits. The inning
csore in this contest follows:
Annapolis 80 l 90 1 1
Meter 0 2 0 o 2 0

ing Bout Al Colonial Theatre

When they came together or their
second bout. Battling Kirk was given
the decision over kid" Gabriel.
colored, in their six round go at the
Colonial Theatre yesterda afternoon.
The battle was pretty one and
vas witnessed by n large crowd,
which had. in measure. been drawn
to the theatre in anticipation of
the returns from the big Jefrries-
Johnson fight.
The initial round was full of sparring
without any great miXingup of things
but in the second session Kirk went
after his man in aggressive style that
brought forth plentiful cheering from
the large audience. He kept his
work up in the third. fourth, fifth and
sixth rounds. He pounded the negro
at will and several times had his oppo-
nent groggy, but seemed unable to
deliver the decisive blow that would
have scored Knockout.
The decision of Referee Murray
proved a popular one. Two good pre-
liminaries were also held and man
aged to keep the crowd in good humor
while the returns from the big battle
at Reno were coming in.
