ROMEO & JULIET

on Saturday last a romatic chapter
was closed when a young couple of
this neighborhood appeared with Gre
dentials in hand before the Rev. r.
r. Walker and We're made man and
wife.
A young lady, who has been for a
number of years Cauld-Well has now
become a Leather-man. A humorous
conversion of names indeed. But
what's in a name?' asked old Shake
spear. To Cupids frey darts "es
macht NIGHT aus"
In any form of wind and weather,
With Orange bloom or purple heather,
Cupid makes his way and wins his
prize.
The gentle wooings of a Romeo were
that Notwithstanding all the impede
mentia Cupid waved the "Oliver
brance' of peace and exclaimed "Veni,
vidi, vici," Il came, I saw, I con-
quered). n away went Miss Cauld-
we'll as Mrs. Leon Leatherman, for the
first time in her life.
We wish them Well as they steer
their bark over the rough sea of tenn
pest.

ices on the part of a half-dozen big
league clubs before McGraW finally
cornered him.
If Thorpe gets weary of baseball,
or if baseball tires of him, he can
take to the ring. At least one fight
promoter, Harry Edwards of Philadel-
phai, would like to make n proposition
to Thorpe to become a professional
fighter. Edwards thinks the Indian
could put all the black, white and red
hopes to flight.
Should Thorpe sicken of both the
diamond and the ring. there is at least
one other profession to which he can
turn and garner many a golden coin.
He can go into vaudeville. In fact,
vaudeville managers were hot on Jim's
trail when he signed up with McGraW,
and they were offering him everything
but the earth for his services. The
stage stands with open arms ready to
receive him at any time.
And SC we say, don't weep over
Jim Thorpe. If you have tears tC
shed and feel that you positively must
shed them, let them fall in a good
cause and wall over the high cost of
living

son., erstwhile champion lightweight
pugilist, recently married, and wearing
his wedding diamond inside his glove,

entire distance, scoring three knock
downs, but could not put him out.
Sorenson was floOred in the third
and twice in the fourth round for the
count of nine. He came back strong
in the seventh, however and Waded in
to Bat in a manner that brought the
house to its feet.
In the final round Nelson extended
himself to the limit but the bell saved
SOrenSon.

panied by Mrs. Evers from his home
at Troy, N. Y. Evers, whose playing
weight is about 40 pounds, tipped the
scales at 1876 at present, but with

To improve the speed of his players
on the base lines-that's one job Mana
ger StoVall has cut out for himself in
1913. It's no small task, either, for
year after year the Brownies have been
lamentably weak as base runners.
StoVall has some pretty good mate
rial to work With-for instance, Shot
ton. Williams and Compton, who are
speed merchants of high degree, and
Mike Balenti, from whom the fam ex-
pect much as a S%printer.
Last season the Detroit Tigers pill
fered no fewer than 27o bases, as COM
pared with 176 by the Browns. Sto-
vail says the difference won't be any
thing like that in 1918. He has in
structed his fleet-footed ones to take
longer chances next season.. and the
st. Louis fans are confident the re-
suit will be pleasing to their pride.

PRACTICE RESUMED
BY MONTANA'S
QUINTET
VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM BE-
GINS WORK AFTER REST
OF FIVE DAYS.
SHOWS OLD SPEED
Fast Center Receivers From Slump and
Plays in Old Eorm-First Team Wins
Easily From Second Five and From
the Scrubs.

The varsity basketball five resumed
practice last night after a five-day
rest. The gym was pretty cold during
the afternoon, and it took the men
several minutes to get warmed up to
their work. Once started they showed
all of the old-time class. Tabor, who
slumped about a week before the
game with the Aggies, played in his
old style last night. He threw baskets
splendidly on the floor. Wolfe was the
only varsity man not on the floor.
With Wolfe out, GAervais and Sheedy
played the guard position.
Coach MUSTANG lined the first team
up for practice, first against the sec
ond five and then against the scrubs.
Both games were fast, and in both Of
a 15-minute run against the seconds
the varsity made "a points, while
the subs couldn't score more than 4.
The play was fast and interesting,
thought, at that. The work of the
varsity showed that the rest did the
men good. The team play was con.
sistent, all five men played well on
the floor, and shots at the basket were
usually successful. Cummins made a
pretty throw, Tabor scored a sensa-
tional basket from a hard angle, and
gained a hand when he batted the ball
in when he jumped against Wiedman
under the basket. The teams lined up
as follows:
