And then with something of shock he
remembered that he hadn't paid that bar

from him. Well, Courtenay's widow could

neck to get better view of her he was re-

above him.
He saw this woman accost the station
master; saw the station master point up the
hill to where the miners were grouped be-
meath the fir tree; lost sight of her as she
passed behind the station building; saw her
again as she turned the corner of that build

She was so near now that he could hear her

Nine Primed for Stiff
-5. ..F, Game. .

What is regarded as the biggest
game of the year and one In which
every effort will be put forward to
win is that scheduled at Brookland
today when the Catholic University
team plays Harvard. The Red and
Black players have been working up
to the Harvard game for some time
and Coach Moran figures that his
team has a good chance to win with
Chief" Greene in the box.
or added importance to the Brook
landers is the fact that Georgetown
plays the Crimson team tomorrow
and Catholic University is more than
anxious to win. The team at Brook
land has stoutly maintained that 1t
has the best ball team ever repre-
senting the university. and the equal
OF the Blue and Gray team.
Coach Sexton, of the Harvard team,
expects his players to be in fit con-
dition for today's game and is not
looking for anything easy. The Har-
ward squad Is scheduled to play every
day before its return to Cambridge
on Saturday. Georgetown will be
played tomorrow, when the team
will then start North.

INJURIES PROVE
TO Be SERIOUS
Walsh's Right Leg Broken,

Fractured.

PHILADELPHIA, April 15-Ths fears
that the injuries sustained by Runt
Walsh and Reindeer Ktlffer in the
series In Boston are serious were re-
>alized yesterday when DR.. John A.
Boyer, the club physician. gave the
players an X-ray examlnati
He found that Walsh's right leg was
broken at the ankle joint, and that be-
sides ligaments were torn. He will be
out many weeks.
Killifer's right hand was fractured.
and he will be unable to get into a
game for three weeks or more.
Hans Lobert, the third baseman, who
strained his back during the series with
the Athletics, accompanied Walsh and
Killifer and submitted to another ex-
animation. Dr. Boyer found that his
injured back was slow mending, and
said that the star thirdsacker wouldn't
be able TO put on a uniform for at
leas another week.
DR.. Boger examined the injured
players at the request Of President
