MUST WIN TO WE'D.
II Braves Lose Series Catcher Cosytly
Must Remain q Bachelor.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-With the outcome
of the coming worlds championship
baseball series depends the success or
failure Of the romance involving Harry
G0wdy, catcher for the Boston Nation
al league team, and Miss Ethel Clarke,
of Chicago. II Boston is victorious.
Gowdy likewise will be. II the Ath-
letics win. then the Braves catcher
will become a bachelor.
So, II Gowdy fights like a demon
during BOston's battle with Philadel-
phia, if he breaks a few bats and uses
up several gloves and even gets real
desperate and takes a few wallops at
the umpire, 1t will be nothing odd, for
his sweetheart has delivered to him
this ultimatum:
Roll up your sleeves, spit on your
hands and win the worlds baseball
pennant. otherwise our love affair is
off,
Although the aforesaid ultimatum
was handed to the Boston catcher by
Miss Clarke three years ago, no one
outside of the pair was aware of it
until today when the girl began pre-
parations for q trip east to see the
worlds series. Then she told her rela-
tives of the long standing engagement
| which, through Harrys inability to
pull his team through, had become
void three times at the end of as many
ball seasons.
Now Miss Clarke feels confident
Harry's team will down the Athletics.
| At any rate she hopes Boston will win,
! for somehow or another she wants to
be in a position to fulfill her promise.

Grip Gray was so busy dishing out

afternoon that it was impossible to

seemed that Gray's spirits were a little
above par and his soul was as nearly
