Battle Axe team, of Richmond, will play

the Monumental City with the Bankers.
Arrangements have been made to meet
the team at the station by the Baltimore
team. and a good time in general will
be shown the Washington boys.
Should the Baltimore team lose both
games, which there seems to be a good
chance of their doing, a triple tie will
result, and the series will be played to
decide the amateur championship of the
three cities.
The Marylanders will send Eddie Har-
Ian to the mound in the game against
the Battle Axe team with Spitball Hurl-
er Hanks to do the. heaving against the
Bankers in the second game. These
should be red-hot games, and the anna

eleven, looked to be in fine condition. He
has been working up in Newburyport all
summer. and is as hard as nails.
Jimmy Dunn, the big half back of last
year. has added a little weight. which
he says, will easily come off before the
big games start, but at that, looks pretty
good.
Nine Point" Costello showed that he
had not gone back in his punting. for
several of his spirals travelled half the
length of the gridiron. Costello has taken
on weight, and says he expects to play
the game of his life this season.
Thirty men showed up for practice
yesterday at College Park. and Coach
Donnelly put them through light work.
The Aggies bid fair to have a corking
good team, and when Mudd returns to
school Monday there will be nine of
last years eleven on hand.
While the back field will be rather
light. there is plenty of heavy material
for the line, and the farmers will be
well fortified in that respect Coach
Donnelly will bend every effort to have
his team picked by the latter part Of
the month, as the first game on the
Farmers schedule is with Richmond
College. in Richmond. on September 80.
This will be good, hard game, as the
teams are about evenly matched.
.Boland, the Washington College
guard of last year. is showing UP we'll
in the early practice, and bids fair to
be a valuable man for the Farmers.
While Boland's position Is guard, he
may be siftew to tackle, as he is fast
and knows the game. Parker. the
Eastern High crack. is expected at the
college within the next few days His
arrival is looked forward to by the
students as a heady quarter back would
not be amiss at the College Park insti-
tuition.

SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST SHERIFF
Developments of Sensational Ma
ture Bring to Halt Mrs.
McRee's Trial.
ONLY TWO JURORS CHOSEN
Accusations Involve Integrity OF
Spec Nenire OF $50

Opelousas, La. October 24.-Develop-
ments of an unexpected mature. en-
bracing sensational charges against
Sheriff Nj. L. swords, of this parish,
and involving the integrity OF the spe-
cial venire of $50 talesmen which the
court had ordered summoned for Jury
duty, brought sudden halt to-day to
the trial OF Mrs Zee Runge McRee for
the alleged murder of Allan Thurman
Garland. Immediately following these
charges. which We're filed by the pros
ecution. counsel for the defense filed a
motion that II. Lee Garland, district
attorney. be barred from active partlc-
ipation in the trial. Judge Pavy will
announce his decision Tomorrow. The
charges against Sheriff Swords will be
taken up at once.
No progress was made to-day in the
selection OF jury. The two jurors
chosen yesterday are the only ones in
the box.
AT this juncture Acting District At
torney Dubuisson hled the motion for
the dismissal of the special venre In

Swords in executing the courts order
to summon the extra venire had been
accompanied by Pickens Butler "a man

In brief interview with the Asso-
cited Press representative Mrs McRee
expressed confidence in establishing her
innocence. The prisoner would not dis
cuss the killing nor the incidents which
caused her to shoot young Garland in
her home here on September 81 last.
Announcement that Mrs. McRee is

and tell why she killed the young uni
