The First National nine moved out of
the last place and pushed the Second
Washington team down in the cellar po-
sition by defeating 1t yesterday on the
White Lot grounds. score 13 to 2 The
First Nationals had everything their
own way after the second inning. when
they found Hutchinsons shoots for five
hits and as many runs.
Although Hutchinson was banged for
a total OF sixteen hits. he pitched fairly
good ball. He evidently was after the
strike-out record, for he made ten OF the
Suburban lads Whit the wind. Levine,
the young left-hander. seemed to have
everything and as a result the Second
Washington boys could do nothing with
him. The five hits they received were
rather lucky and generally came after TWO
men were out.
Seitz the plucky little all-around player
of the Second washington nine, again
showed his value to Manager EckhoH oy
going behind the bat and catching per
feet game. He accepted thirteen put,ou.s
and three assists without the semblance
of an error. At the bat he banged out
pretty single and scored one OF the TWO
runs credited to his team.

The boy that shows signs Of developi1s

is Brooks. the plucky third baseman.
This boy has improved SO per cent over
the form shown last year. when ne playeo

was shown yesterday, when he refused 70

BY playing tho most sensational ball
seen in tho MARQUETTE League this
year. the Naval Medical School defeat
ed the st. Stephen team. to s. which
victory puts the doctors in first place.
This Is tho first time that the Saints
have been ousted from the first place
this year.
While Rico, who was on the firing
line for the government doctors, de-
SERVES great deal q credit Tor the
and struck out eleven. without issuing
la single base on balls, 1T was the heavy
hitting and the sensational support OF
his team mates that really won the
game for him. and 1t was some game.
Sullivan. who tossed them over for
the Saints. was touched up for sixteen
nsssi healthy yaeW swat. na His team % also gave gave
him good support, but the medical
students had their batting lamps TRIM
med. and would have hit any one yes
terday.
With the score to against them the
Saints punched four hits In the sixth
inning and these coupled with an error
s to in St. stephens favor. Every one
thought that this would win for them.
but the Naval boys came right back at
them in the next inning and put four
tallies across the pan, taking the lead
again. The students also scored two
more In the f1nal round. which was the
game.
The Naval team certainly has been i'm
proved since It last played. In place
OF Lawrence at second, DeLeary put up
a game that was nothing less than SEN
sational and had every one asking his
name. "Jakey' Boyer. at third, played
a good game, rs did Savage in right field.
Savage was there with his little stick
yesterday, getting four hits out OF four
trips to the pan. and made q sensational
catch in the first inning, robbing Lmetc
OF q sure hit.
Evans played a good game at short for
the Saints and 1t was his double In the
sixth that brought In two runs which
put his team ahead. He had five chances
In the field and took every one Of them
without q miscue. Evans Is developing
into one OF the very best players in this
league at short.

 But men don't act this way in real hfe," Sheldon remarked.
 You'll find I'm pretty real before you're done with me. Pm going to kill you today. Speaking of Joan
 Please keep her name out of it,' Sheldon warned him.
 "Oh, go ahead, knock me down. But that won't close my mouth. You can knock me down all day, but as fast as I get to my feet I'll speak of Joan again. Now, will you fight? I'll give you fair chance to kill me, but I'll kill you before the days out. This isn't civilization. It's the Solomon is- lands, and a pretty primitive proposi- tion for all that. And two men and one woman is an equally primitive proposition. We'll settle it in the good old primitive way. I can't insult you directly, know.

 "I've often thought that the ideal duel should be somewhat different from the modern conventional one. No seconds, of course, and no onlook- CTS. The two principals alone are necessary.

Ue smile ...-t. It was so zske her. so ike tie boy she was, to come running to complain of the phys lcal hurt which had been done her. She was certainly not woman versed In the ways of man and in the ways of handling man. The resounding slap she had given Tudor seemed still echO- lnr in Sheldon's ears. and as he looked at the girl before him crying out that her arm was hurt his smile grew broader.
 It was the smile that did it. con- ricting Jean in her own eyes of the silliness of her cry and sending over her, face the most amazing blush he had ever seen. Throat. cheeks and forehead famed with the rush of the Bhamed blood.
 sHe-he"- she attempted to vin- dicaie her deeper indignation. then whirled abruptly away and passed out the rear door and down the steps.
 Sheldon sat and unused. He was O trif1e angry. and the more he dwelt upon the happening the angrier he grew. Joan was the last woman in the world to attempt to kiss forcibly. The thing smacked of the backstairs anyway-a sordid little comedy per haps, but to have tried it on Joan was nothing less than sacrilege. The man should have had better sense.
 1t was while in this mood that the screen door banged loudly behind the heels of Tudor. who strode into the room and paused before him.
 "Well?" Tudor demanded def1antly.
 And on the instant speech rushed to Sheldon's lips.
 'T hope you won't attempt anything like it again. that's all-except that 1 shall be only too happy any time to extend to you the courtesy of my whaleboat. It will land you in Tulagi in few hours"
 ''As if that would settle it." was the retort. "Now. let me tell you. that the Solomon islands are not big enough for the pair of us. This things got to be settled between us. and it may as well be settled right here and now"
 "I can understand your fire eating manners as T being natural to you" Sheldon went on wearily. "but why you should try them on me is what I can't comprehend. You surely don't want to quarrel with me"
 ''1 certainly do.''
 But what in heavens name for?'
 Tudor surveyed him with whitening disgust
 You haven't the soul of louse. I suppose any man could make love to your wife,
 But have no wife," Sheldon inter- rupted.
 Then you ought to have The situa- ton is outrageous. You might at least marry her, as I am honorably willing to do."
 For the first time Sheldon's rising anger boiled over.
 You he began violently, then abruptly caught control of himself and went on soothingly. 'T'll call the boats crew and launch a boat You'll be in Tulagi by this evening"
 He turned toward the door as if to put his words into execution, but the other caught him by the shoulder and twirled him around.
 Look here. Sheldon. told you the Solomons were too small for the pair of us, and meant it''
 'Is that an offer to buy Rerande, lock, stock and barrel?" Sheldon que. riedA
 "No. it isn't. It's an invitation to fight"
