AFFAIR over Girl ls Thrashed Out on
Main Street at Noon Today
Before Large
Audience.
STORIES ARE DIFFERENT
credence ls Given to the Story Told
by the Ball Player Who Is
Backed up by Several
Witnesses.

N. j vidovich, who tried out for the
second base Job on the Keokuk base
hall club, but was released, and Louis
yermillion, were arrested this after
noon for displaying their pugilistic
ability at the corner Of Fifth and Main
streets about noon today
Both tell conflicting stories about
the origin of the affair but both are
agreed that woman is at the bottom
Of their trouble.
witnesses to the AFFAIR are also fly
ing at a tangent in regard to the way
the thing started. Some say that
yidovich was the aggressor and others
say that vermillion was the instigator
Of the battle.
yermillion says that he has been
giving the girl money to save for him
and when he asked her for some of
his change today, he was told by her
that she did not have any with her.
An argument started and vidovich is
said to have struck him, knocking
him down and holding him in the
dirt. vermillion says that he was
totally innocent of starting any
trouble
vidovich tells an entirely different
story. He says that he had stopped
to talk to the young lady for little
while and just as he was leaving her,
vermillion ran up to her as she was
getting on the car and pulled her back.
He went up to him and demonstrated
with him for handling the lady so
roughly and vermillion struck at him.
He started away then and Vermillion
went back and again pulled the lady
off of the car He again went back
and took hold OF vermillion and told
him to leave the young lady alone.
They clinched and In the mixup fol-
lowing he hit yermillion once and
they both went TO the pavement.
Witnesses to the affair say that the
latter story is nearer the truth than
the one told by vermillion He is said
to be insanely jealous OF the young
LADY, with whom he has been keeping
company and resented the attentions
paid to her by the bail player.
II is thought that the affair will be
settled out OF court.
Vidoyich came here to try out with
the ball club from Cairo, H., where
he played last year. His home is in
Galveston, Texas. He carries numer-
GUS letters from we'll known men or
that city bearing on his quality of
character and recommending him to
the confidence of people with HON he
may come in contact.

Marjorie was overwhelmed, but she

just trace OF dubiety.
Then Marjorie grew serious with a
new idea: II wonder II mamma and
papa have missed me YETI"
Mallory laughed: After three days
disappearance, | shouldn't be sur
prised."
Perhaps they are worrying about
me-"
IL shouldn't be surprised"
The poor dears! I'd better write
them a telegram at once"

She ran to the desk, found blank
forms and then paused with knitted
brow: 1T will be very hard to say all
I've got to say In ten words"
Hang the expense" Mallory smiled
magniticently, I'm paying your bills
now"
But Marjorie tried to look very
matronly: Send night letter In the
day time! No, indeed, we must be-
gin to economize."
Mallory was touched by this new
revelation OF her future housewifely
thrift. He Rugged her hard and re-
minded her that she could send a day
letter by wire.

Boxrno. Ancient and Modern.

Although boxing and pugilism. &C.
cupying much attention at the present
time, were popular in classic Greece,
they seem to have died out in the
middle ages, and II Is not until the
end of the seventeenth century that
we find references to boxing as a
regular English sport. Boxing. as dis
tinguished from pugilism. may be said
to date from 1866. when the Amateur
Athletic club was formed. and the
Queensberry rules drawn up. The box.
ing glove. however. had been invented
about a century before by Broughton.
"the father Of English pugilism." who
used them in his practice bouts. But
you will remember that the boxing
glove. as described by Virgil. was q
terrible instrument Of offense.

Jealousy Comes Aboard.

Jeaicusy comes Aboard.
There was an air OF domestic peace
In the observation room, where NAL
Tory and Marjorie had been left to
themselves for some time. But the
peace was like the ominous hush that
precedes a tempest.
Mallory was so happy with every
thing coming his way. that he was
even making up with Snoozleums,
stroking the tatted coat with one hand
and holding up his newspaper with
the other. He did not know all that
was coming his way. The blissfuI ST.
lence was broken first by Mar1orie:

Utah begins with YOU" he said
and rather liked his wit, listened for
some recognition. and rose to get 1t.
but she waved him away.
Don't bother me. honey. Can't you
see I'm busy?"
He kissed her hair and saantered
back. dividing his attention between
Snoozleums and the ten-inning game.
