"RUZZIE LAMB" LOSES.

Heart Wound in Case.

New York, Oct. 1s.-''Women should be
ashamed to fight for equal suffrage after
a jury brings in such an unjust verdict
as this" said Lawyer Jacob. Gordon.
counsel for Russell Gardner Griswold-
"Ruzzie Lamb'-in his $4,000 breach Of
promise suit against Helen Woodruff
"Brunhilde"-which was decided
in her favor to-day by a verdict OF jury
in the Supreme Court.
This decision proves that there is no
recognition OF equal rights between the
sexes" said Mr.. Gordon. "A Jury Of
women. no doubt, would have brought In
verdict against Griswold. That being
the case, where can a man get justice
when both men and women are preJu-
diced against him. The jury evidently
believed that only women can bring
breach OF promise suits, and that a man
is not privileged to begin an action OF
some delicacy. Lawsuits should all be
measured by the same standards,
whether the litigants are men or
women.
Eight ballots were taken in jury room
before a verdict was agreed up. Five
OF the Jurors on the first ballot stood
out for "RuzzIe," but as the balloting
and discussion continued his supporters
gradually dropped away. Juror Edward
j. Broderick said that II the jury had
been able TO find a definite promise to
marry Griswold in the letters he submit
ted, that he would have been awarded
damages

were all that we were able TO find" said

M'LEAN WINS TITLE.
Defeats 0'Boyle for Georgetown
Tennis Honors.

Yesterday afternoon the annual fall
tennis tournament of Georgetown Uni
versity came to a close in the final round
Of singles on the college courts. The
championship title Of the university was
decided in a brilliant and hard-fought
match between O'Boyle. Is. OF the col
lege. and Mclean. IA, Of the law depart
ment. in which the latter won out.
McLean's victory was due in large
part to the steadiness of the game he
played, his hard, accurate placement
gaining him the points. In the service.
too. he had somewhat the better Of his
less experienced opponent. and time and
time again his driving ''lawford" would
pass O'Boyle as he came to the net for
one of his sensational kills" which the
caution of the elder classman prevented
him from making more than a few times
during the afternoon.
OBoyle's ''mid-court volleying" was a
feature of the game. but his nervousness
made him somewhat erratic and causeu
him to hit the net or drive the ball into
the alleys.
AS a whole, the playing this afternoon
was of a much higher order than any
that has been hitherto exhibited during
the tourney, both men contesting every
point. and furnishing the large crowd
of enthusiasts with THRILL after thrill
throughout the four fast sets Wn1ch
were necessary to settle the champion
ship on Mclean.
The tournament has been an unusually
successful one, the interest shown by
the student body and the players them
selves being greater than that OF any
of recent years on the Hill
top courts, and has brought into the
limelight many fast players from whom
Manager McQuillen is confident Of be-
ing able to select a varsity representa-

rather than in heroic doses. He was
