SITUATION
BY ROBIN


A rustic bridge with a frail railing,
a charming young lady resting upon
it, a creak, a splash and Minna Graves
uttered a shrek and sank beneath the
surface of the brook.
A 1.-THE, carelessly-dressed figure,
that of a young man coming up the
bridge approach, a shout Of interest
and alarm and as he plunged boldly
into the swirling current, Minna came
up choked, blinded and frantic.
Don't struggle" Spoke gentle but
resolute tones in her ear, so conf
dence-inspiring that Minna obeyed
orders and came ashore dripping,
flushing at the ridiculous figure she
made. Her rescuer warded off her ex
p~ressions of fervent gratitude with q
light laugh over their mutual predica-
ment, and she grew coherent enough
to indicate that a park-like place in
the near distance was her home.
Rolfe Ditson conducted her to its
open gateway, solicitously made sure
that she was able to get to the house
unaided, derided the idea that he
might catch cold from his wet gar
ments and went his way after an in
vitation to call and meet her people.
Rolfe Ditson swung on his way with
frightened eye, for he worshiped
beauty and goodness. AS to Minna,
she could not get that strong intel
lectual face out of her mind readily.
His first call led to a second. These
two were fast approaching a state
of mutual love.
Minna saw in him a handsome, we'll
bred gentleman. Her father and
mother rather liked his direct, yet
unobstrusive ways. Not so Harold
Graves. This son and brother had a
chnm he had tried to thrust upon the
attentions of Minna. His sister dis
liked him intensely. When Rolfe APP
peared upon the scene the rejected
sutton scented a rival. Thenceforward

 gnorina Cont spoke no English. But they managed to make themselves un- ! derstood, and Edgerton enjoyed very pleasant visit. Later the American was informed that his proposition was ac. ceptcd.
 ! The question arose as to what should be EdgertOn's next step. He had made the proposition for the purpose of meet ing in friendly way one whose beau i ty he so ardcntIy admired, relying on the fact that he could forfeit the com
 mission and no harm be done. But now
 that his offer had been accepted it oc- cured to him that 10 back out would be slight Co the yOung lady. He did not consider such marriage best for either her ur niR. SignOrina Contis connections were all Italian, while his
 were American He would have to take her away from her native land, for which she would always pine, aud, as to making Italy his home. 1t was not to be considered. But how with draw from the arrangement without appearing to put a slight upon the youus lady?
 Edgrrtun was nearSighted and wore glasses Rather he wore a monOcle, for he had lived in England, and at that time monucles were more common than they are now. He called on his marriage broker and said to him:
 Before completing this arrangement | have a confession to make to Signo- riua Cont"
 The signorina. SignOT. has nothing to do with the matter. It is all in the hands of her parents"
 This made EdgertOn feel easier in his conscience. He had no especial objection to the part he was playing, provided no one was concerned except the old folks.
 Well. then" he continued, "I desire that you inform SignOr Cont that l am not a perfect man. | wear glass eye"

Out

By EUNICE BLAKE

David EdgertOn, young American, was spending some time in an Italian city.
 One day E6-ertOn was sitting on d bench in the park sucking the ivory head of his cane when q girl passed him with an- older woman. The young l lady was q beauty. Nearly all Italians are brunettcs, but this vOung lady WIS one of the few blondS one sees in that country. It seemed tu EdgrrtOn that | she had walked out of q painting of 1 Titians that he had seen at the BorgheSe palace in Rome. Her hair was light, tinged with gold; her eyes were the only feature in her face that were of the prevailing Italian kind, being a liquid brown
 It was evident from her appearance. | from her dress and being attended by an older woman that the girl was of ! the higher clrSs There would be no such thing as scraping an ucQuaint- | anre ElwortOu followed her with his eyes till she passed out of sight: then a man who had been sitting on an op- pusitc side of the Walk arose and, ad- vaucing toward him, raised bis hat po' Iitcly and said.

 With what object? The young lady is of a mumia@rablc age; her parents do not desire young men to be atten- tive to her except with view to mar riagc.

 Edgerton was so desirouS of seeing more of the beautiful Italian that he gave the broker an order to arrange marriage between him and her at once. The man did not seem to hes itate at making the proposition, eSpe- i cially when Edgcrtou told bim that he had an income of $1OO0O year. The man was somewhat disappointed that 1 his client had no family crest, but thought thc income would make up for

 The signorina had an aunt who had lost one of her eyes and wore glass eye in its place. Seeing the article removed at times and replaced in it's socket had been so rcpugnant to the girl that she could not stand the pros pect of living with man who was in a similar condition. She took the re- sponsibility on herself of releasing the applicant for her hand.
 Edgerton not only paid the broker age, but sent a handsom" present to the young lady. He didn't reveal the fact, however, that his glass rye was worn outside natural one.

WHITE KNOCKS OUT
STANLEY YOAKUM
Chicago Lightweight > Sends
Denver Lad to Dreamland in
Nineteenth Round.
HARD RIGHT ENDS BOUT

DENVER, July 15.-Charley White,
of Chicago. knocked out Charley Yoa-
KUN, of Denver. in the nineteenth
round last night. The end came with
right to the jaw after the Chica-
gean had sent the Denver fighter
down for the count of seven.
White displayed good generalship
from the first, and in the closing
round smothered his opponent with
lefts and rights. In the fourteenth
round Yoakum's blows began to get
Wild. and although he led repeated
", he was forced to cover. At the
finish White bore no marks of the
conflict, while Yoakum's 5 lips and left
eye were swollen and bleeding.
Yoakum evened the first four
rounds by carrying the lighting 10
his opponent, landing in the clinches,
but with little effect. In the fifth
White Jared Yoakum with a right
swing to the head and took the hon
ors in the sixth after a lively mix-up
around the ring The pace slowed up
in the seventh. Yoakum had the
honors in the eighth round of fast in
fighting and divided the ninth and
tenth.
White, who had fought with ease
thus far, began TO force matters IN
the eleventh, jarring YoaIum with
lefts and rights to the head and face
without a return, White set a whirl-
wind pace in the next four rounds,
Yoakum being unable to evade the
Chicagoan's jabs and uppercuts.
White continued to land at will in
the sixteenth, seventeenth and eigh-
teenth In the nineteenth, after spar
ring few seconds, White sent right
and left to the jaw that sent Yon-
kum down for the count of seven. He
came up, but was forced to cover by.

right TO the jaw sent him down for

Fultz says he will fight the matter
TO the limit. In the meantime, Kraft
declares he won't play with Nashville
nohow and that he will remain in
Newark the remainder OF the season.
After the whole thing has been set
tied one way or the other, the ques-
tion will come up as to who is to
pay Kraft's salary. Fultz, of course,
will hold the National Commission
responsible and the National Com
mission will likely pass the buck
along. In any event, the player will
be the greatest sufferer.
G
The way things are in baseball it
looks as if President Fultz is taking a
very foolish stand. He may be able
to stir up lot of trouble and even
wreck the tottering International
League, but the big fellows will beat
the fraternity to a certainty. if it
ever comes to a battle. Baseball
is the players game, and every kick
it gets so much the worse for the
men who follow it as a profession.
AS far as Kraft is concerned we
would all like to see him play here,
but the laws of baseball say he be-
longs to Nashville and he should go
there for the time being.
o
For arguments sake, we will say
that Kraft is awarded to Newark.
The way things are, with Clarence,
high-priced man, perhaps Newark
doesn't want the player. in which
case we will say to continue the argu-
ment, Kraft is released He will then
be a free agent out of job. In such
a case, perhaps 1t would not be out of
order to ask, "Will the fraternity
take care Of the player?" The Kraft
matter is a National Commission af-
fair and President Fultz will find that
the National Commission will not
back down so easily. The word of the
commission is still law in baseball,
and when 1t comes to an issue that
the supreme court of baseball is un-
able to carry It's point, then we will
have to say, "S'long, basebalr'
