make her getaway from the home
folks in Gainesville. So Saturday ev-
ening was set for the ceremony, and
she was to arrive in Jacksonville that
afternoon. Her sutton here thought
surely she would arrive and he met a
number of trains. Finally, when she
failed to make her appearance, he
thought perhaps she had taken a
roundabout way in reaching Jackson
vile so as to make sure of her peo-
pie not finding out her intentions and
intercepting her in the road here.
A search was then made of the 10
cal hotels but he failed to find her.
Yesterday, he says, he had a message
saying that she had become the bride
of Edward Boone, an Anthony, Fla,
contractor and builder.-Times-Un -

MISS DAVIS, SUBJECT OF BIG
SEARCH, Welded ANOTHER
MAN

The mystery of the earth having
swallowed up Miss Emily Madge
Davis, a beautiful young Gainesville
woman, who it was feared had been
lost in Jacksonville, cleared up when
it became known by her sutton here,
who was anxiously searching for her,
that Edward Boone of Anthony, Fla,
had been the winner of her hand Sat
urday, and that she had not come
here at all.
ITO smile after victory is easy; but
after defeat, heroic" perhaps was the
only human nature text with which
the young Jacksonville man could
console himself yesterday. Over the
tragic, disappointment, however, a
sunshiny smile came, and he took
the whole thing as game of hearts
where he played the loser.
The local man and Miss Davis were
to have been married Thursday, but
she wired him that she could not

the first inning was over. In that one
round Connie Mack's world heaters
smeared the plate with four runs and
then galloped to the finish. winning
the contest by the decisive count of
10 to 2.
From start to finish the Sox were
making an uphill attack The only
way in the world they could have won
that game was by clean and consecu-
tive batting. and Eddie Plank. Mack s
veteran southpaw twirler. wouldn't let
them get the base hits. Neither would
he walk the men, and consequently the
Sox were in q continuous struggle, not
to get one or two runs but a bunch OF
them.
Toward the finish they held one short
but sparkling rally that gave them two
runs. and that was the only time they
broke the smile on Mr.. Plank's face
They never had chance to do daring
things on the bases. They didn't dare
play a bunting game, and. altogethe,
they got only seven base hits on
Plank's cross fire curves.
