the villagers.
For two years hicks and the WON
en- only bowed when they passed.
Then Mrs. Soutar fell i'll of the incur
able disease that was to result IN her
death. Hicks again became a con-
slant visitor at the home, but strictly
in his professional capacity. The Sou
tars we're the last of the old families
of the town; their lives were exceed
fngly lonely and exceedingly quiet. All
their old associates were dead, except
the doctor, who had come to the place
in youth, thirty years before, and even
then the old traditions had largely
ceased, and the stories of the lives OF
the first settlers had been forgotten.
His friendship With the Soutars had
come about through q sister of Mrs.
Soutar, maiden lady, who had been
a constant visitor at his home when
his wife lived. But she had died al
most at the same time as Mrs. Hicks,
and no link remained between the
families.
A few nights before her death the
old woman called the doctor to her
bedside. Brokenl, she told him that
she had no one else in whom to con.
fide. Then she told him her story.
It concerned her dead sister. Years
before, in girlhood, she had suffered
a great wrong. She had gone away;
her child, q boy, had been born in a
remote place and left in the founding
hospital there. Afterward she had
him removed to a. town nearer
where in the guise of an interested
| visitor, she could see him occasional
! ly. But the boy had been adopted
and, in accordance with the rules o
the institution, she was refused al
| information as to his whereabouts.

Nationals Second Baseman
Has Knee Hurt in Auto Ac-

DOUGLAS NEFF MAY FILL
POSITION PERMANENTLY
Walter Johnson to Be Opposed Today
by Crowell of Brown Uni
versity Fame.
BY ]. ED GRILLo.

Ray Morgan may be out of the Ma
tionals' lineup for some time to come.
The second baseman of the local team
met with an automobile accident some
where near Baltimore yesterday and
called up Manager Griffith on the long
distance phone this morning. telling
him that he was confined to his home
with badly injured knee.
Griffith informed the player that he
was suspended without pay until such
time as he was able to resume his
position. Douglas Neff, the utility in
fielder, will take Morgans place in the
game today. and he may be kept there
permanently, for Griffith has soured on
Morgan.
Manager Griffith was much incensed
at Morgan's trouble. The Nationals
leader has insisted that Morgan would
be better off without an automobile.
but this only caused Morgan to get rid
of hts little car and get a big one.
He has been playing very poor ball
of late. not hitting at all. and it is not
believed he will be missed. Neff, while
he has had no experience at second
base. being 4 shortstop, has been prac-
ticing there of late.
Crowel. the former Brown Cniver-
sity pitcher. will be pitted against
Walter johnson in the game today.
Connie Mack is very much impressed
with Crowell. who. he says. will devel-
op into a great pitcher in due time. In
his first game for the Mackmen Crow
ell held the New York Yankees down
to a single hit in nine innings, and
Mack says he worked like veteran.

Tyrus Cobb has dropped out of the
400 circle for the first time this sea-
son. and it is not likely that he will be
able again to attain such a percentage
this campaign. A mark of 400 is a lit
tie better than Cobb can expect to do
these days with good pitching being
furnished by most of the twirlers in the
league. but this does not mean that he
will not be able again to lead the
league with the stick.

Instead Of being a walkaway for In
terror, the race in the Departmental
League bids fair to develop into very
strenuous fight for first honors. If
such turns out to be the case the prob
abilities are that Agriculture and In
terror will furnish the feature contests
of the year, as they are battling along
on even terms right now.
Interior won the honors in the first
series without trouble, taking all ten
of its games and finishing with a per-
feet percentage. Agriculture started
the second part Of the season. though
in way that made it evident it was
going to be in the ring till the last
gong sounded. Agriculture and Interior
headed the other clubs in the second
part of the schedule, with Agriculture
on top. Agriculture has won four
games and lost none, while Interior
has four victories to its credit and one
defeat charged against 1.-THE defeat
being sustained at the hands Of Agri-
culture. II Agriculture wins this series
it will meet Interior in three contests
to determine the championship.
. The acquisition of several new play
ers undoubtedly has aided Agriculture
to make a good showing in its recent

The Printers and War have been los
ing regularly in the Departmental
League, neither club having shown as
much strength as the other members
of the circuit. OF the two War has
been the more consistently defeated.
With the team Agriculture now has il
seems that it would be a favorite over
Interior in series of games between
the two. Interior, though, has many
times shown the ability to develop suf.
ficfent power to forge to the front
whenever necessary. while Agriculture
has seemed to fail in the pinches, this
being true last year. when it lost gu,
after apparently having the pennant
won. A series between Agriculture and
Interior would be very interesting
though. and if. as the adherents of the
Aggies especially seem to think, Agri-
culture wins the second part of the
schedule, much zest will be added to
the remainder of the season.

scorer. as it is reported that Tansill
had only one chance, which he ac-
cepted.
One very pleasing thing to he noted
of the amateur league teams this year
is the absence of forfeits. There prob
ably have been less than in any previ-
Gus season. With the exception of one
or two teams, nearly every club has
been on hand ready TO play IFS con-
tests at scheduled times. There have
been many seasons. when hardly a day
passed without forfeit in some league.
but such is not the case now. T.,is
seems to indicate that the various
clubs are better off financially and that
they are carrying their players along
with more success.
The capacity of the White Lot for
ball games is being severely taxed.
There are SO many contests taking
place there almost every day that room
is hardly to be found. The outhelds
of the various clubs almost overlap
and many times balls have been hit
where outf1elders OF teams in another
league game were playing.
For real base ball enthusiasts one has
to go to the Morning League of the
Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. The men who take
part in those contents work at night.
1t was found that the regular league
games would not draw from the great
hours they were compelled to report
for duty. and the morning league, COM
posed of teams organized from the men
who carried. on affairs in the different
departments at night. was formed.
These men perform their duties
through the night. get their breakfast
and then go out to play their regular
ly scheduled game. In other words.
they almost turn the day around Lots
of enthusiasm has been shown in the
new idea and series will be played
at the end of the year between the win
ner of the title in the Morning League
and the winner in the evening league
to see which team will represent the
organization in the post-season series
for the championsh ship of the city. The
play in the Morning League is hardly
up to the standard of that in the even
ing circuit, but some very creditable
exhibitions are given.
If the University of Pennsylvania
wins the race at Poughkeepsie this
week English methods of teaching
rowing will certainly receive a big
boost. Right on top of Yale's decisive
victory over the Crimson crews on the
Thames Friday, it would be rather
remarkable showing for the English
brothers at Yale and Penn. Guy Nick
alls has indicated himself at Yale
and Vivian Nickalls has done splendid
work for Penn, and not only will it be
an apparently successful institution of
the English system in American uni
versities, but 1t also will result in
quite big personal triumph for the
two Englishmen.
