EARLY MARRIAGE THE THING
DR.. Eliot Firmly of Opinion That It
Should Not Be Put Off Until
Middle Life.

DR.. Eliot, whose name was men
toned as American Ambassador in
London, is strongly in favor of early
marriages. Here are his views:-
'You will hear some young man say,
I cannot invite girl who has been
brought up to do nothing for herself,
and to have every qualification and
every luxury provided for her, to
marry me, until l can earn an in
come which will enable her to live
with me in that way l have two re-
marks to make about that doctrine
that if a girl has been brought up in
that manner, the sooner she has a
chance to live differently the better
for her; and, secondly, that it is only
fair for a young man who loves a
young woman to consult her as to
whether or not she wishes to marry
him before he can earn a large in
come.
The young woman has a clear
right to say a word on that subject
to the man she loves, and not to be
obliged to wait till he is thirty-fve
years old before he asks her to marry
him. This is a matter Of looking
ahead at a critical point in your lives.
Young men are not in the habit, per
haps, of contemplating this aspect of
marriage. 1t would be wiser to do so.
The sooner you begin to think about it
the better-frst, because it will be
thinking about the most important
event in your lives in respect to the
development of your own characters
and tn tho ba00i0eSs NOT only Of vO11r-
selves, but of the women you will
marry, and of the family life which
will normally result"

pitched ball but was. .snared- a minute later in glaring attempt at larceny on thet second, lag, Sheets was st9pped at first ,on| h short hit. Valdez hooked two more dots on hits by. McClaire and .Amppdsen and wild and woolly fielding by the Liscumitcs.
 In the fourth Liscum went out one, two, three. Miller went in- to the box for the visitors. The
 first two Valdez sticAers were easy outs and then the boys put the rollers under the. post bri- gade. McClaire and Amundsen again coupled hits with fielding errors and Valdez nailed two more tallics.
 Two seemed to be the limit of Valdez's scoring in an inning. They took two five times and would have grabbed two in the eighth if Jack Hanson hadn't cut second base trying to make the circuit on an error.
 That comedy was one of the best in the game. The Dam Kid. slammed long fly to center. The soldier man on duty got his hooks on it, but dropped it, and while he followed it into the brush and prospected for it the Kid kept travelling around the circuit. Ev- erybody watched the fielder and the ball after he threw if in, but Umpire Roche watched the Kid and when that. enterprising' run ner crossed the home plate Roche observed, "You're out. You didn't touch second base" That made three out instead of a second run.
 The wind helped the batting and made things harder for the pitchers and the ficldcrs. In spite of McClanc's Strikr-ouI record the enemy touched him for a few bad ones. Connors did very we'll under the circumstances but lost the lead. Miller went in and worked like hors but couldn't stop the :infuriatcd Valdez gang when they got into batting streak. McClaire hit Dundon, Sheets and Shambaugh with pitched balls. Miller hit Herman. McClaire struck out if, Miller 5, Connors ?. McClaire gave 3 bases on balls, Connors 2, Miller 1.
 The usual ragged fielding cr- POPS were made on both sides, but that department was up to the average. GOshaw and Han- son made some remarkable stops and throws that would have been a credit to a professional game, though the Kid made one weak throw to the first baSeman's feet. Score by innings:

Boys From Across Bay Fail to Lift ScaIps of the Local
 Team.
Valdez ii, Fort Liscum 3.

Valdez II, Fort Liscum 3.
 The wind was blowing off- shore Sunday and the boys from across the pond couldn't carry home the tallies. Also, the Val dez lineup was the strongest yeet offered as a mark for the visit ors this season. The star bat tery, McClaire and Amundsen, were in the points, George Co., shaw herded the second sack, and Emmett Ball played speedy game at first. This bunch, with the pick of the remaining local timber, put up too tough game for the soldiers, though the mil- itary lads were troublesome enough. .,.
 The safe hitting was seven come eleven in favor of Valdez. Some of those hits were long ones, owing to the impulsion of the hustling zephyr from the northeast. When the sluggers swatted flies the flies flew so far that town windows seemed to be in danger. McClaire struck out If batsmilhs, but when the sol dicrs did whale the ball it sailed tO far corner of the garden.
 McClairr registered three stril1e-outs in the first act. but it was not a clean sheet. Dun- don, the second man up, poled the leather way up over the iniicld and the breeze waited it over the township line. When it got back to the infield Dundon was trying to get his breath on third base. He perished there because the ad- jacent gents in the batting order famed out.
 Liscum tried a new pitcher in Mr. Connors, who puts them over swiftly, often with snappy curve, but the locals connected with them very well. Sullivan patiently waited for a pass. Then Amundsen missed three swings and Catcher Sheets missed the third one. That put two Valdez lads on their way and they came home on hits by Hanson and Go- shaw. The last-named party was not satisfied with one bag and tried to steal another. He was just about to grab it in a head on plunge when the Liscum sen !inrl tapped him with the horse hide and said Tag, You're it. Then George came hohae the back way.
 In the second O'kcefc starled the exercises with a double, and with he boost of a single by Mar tin and some ol her things Nal- IcZ didn't intend arrived at the home plate. McClairc struck out two men in this spaSm but Am undsen dropped one third strike. Valdez went out one, two, three.
