"BECKS" AMEN CORNER

WHAT do you think of the propo-
sitiOn of the Texas league to
let FL Paso have class B ball? BY
the time we pay transportation both
ways for all the teams that play
here, as well as the transportation
for the FL Paso team, and pay the
visitors for the two days they will
lose, coming and going, it will mean
that FL Paso will have to show re-
ceipts of around $500 a game if the
club is TO come out on top. A lot of
local fans are talking Texas league
ball Think it over from a financial
standpoint and then if you think you
favor the idea, call up John Nc
Closkey and tell him how much you
are ready to subscribe.

FREDDIE WELSH is charged with
the loss of a newspaper decision
in a six-round bout with Jimmy
Murphy at Philadelphia on Monday
night Both men fought at catch
weights and 1t IS evident that the
champion made no special effort to
exert himself. The fighters are
blamed for such poor bouts when
the real trouble should be charged to
the promoters who, in their greed
for coin, will let champions come in
at any weight they desire. These
catchweight bouts for the little
fellows do a lot Of harm.

McCreight-Smoak Weddinr

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wedding
In the presence of only near rela-
tiVes and very few intimate friends
the marriage of Miss Sudie Edmonia
Smoak and Mr.. James Thomas Ne
Creight took place Sunday at 1890
o'clock at the home Of the brides par
erts, Mr.. and Mrs. James L. Smoak,
at Silver Springs.
The house was decorated through
out in quantities of greenery with
pink roses, carnations and pink crepe
myrtle which is now so beautiful. For
the ceremony the bride and bride
groom stood beneath an arch of
greenery erected in the parlor. Great
bowls and vases of the pink flowers
interspersed with greenery were
placed advantageously in the parlor
and other rooms and innumerable
pink lighted candles cast a soft glow
over the nuptial scene and through
out the entire lower floor. The stair
way was twined with bamboo and the
dining room, where a five course
luncheon was partaken of after the
ceremony, was attractive in its dec
orations also of pink and green. A
large white wedding cake sunken in
q basket of carnations conferred the
long table at which covers were laid
for all the guests.
Just before the wedding hour the
brides sister, Mrs. z. A. Brunette of
Daytona, sweetly sang 81 Love You
Truly" and "GOd Gave Me to YOU"
accompanied on the piano by Mrs. w.
A. Coin, another sister. Miss Violet
Smoak and little Miss Louie Warren
Smoak, as maid of honor and flower
girl, were their sisters only attend
ants. Both wore pretty lingerie
dresses.
For the ceremony, which was i'm
pressively performed by Rev. r. B.
Bowers, the bride descended the stair
with her father and was met at the
improvised arch by the bridegroom
and the minister.
The bride wore a most becoming
travelling suit of gray faille taffeta
with an attractive chapeau and ac-
cessOries to match. She carried white
bridesroses and her only ornament
was u pin set with diamonds, a gift
from the groom.
Mrs. McCreight is the third daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. l.. Smoak,
widely known as estimable citizens,
and she is popular among a wide cir
Gle of friends, all of whom regret that
her marriage will take her from her
native state to reside.
Mr.. McCreight superintends the
Installing of machinery for the Clyde
Iron Works, of Duluth; Mimi, and it
was year ago while attending to bus
mess for his firm at Silver Springs
that he met his bride. He returned
two weeks ago for visit and shortly
after arriving persuaded Miss Smoak
to return home with him. He is n
splendid young man with hundreds of
business and personal friends through
out the United States and in Canada
and Central America, where he has
gone in the interest of his firm fire.

Mr.. and Mrs. McCreight, amidst
best wishes and congratulations, left

ing on a wedding tour which will in
clude a trip to the exposition in San
