STEWART F. GELDERS, EDrroR

The Freshman-Junior gam e
came off Yesterday at the ball park
with a tie score of six to six. It
was such a game as no two high
school classes have ever played be-
fore. The grass at the south end
of the park was considerably torn
up and the hard diamond at the
north end was softened up little
for the next game. The first touch
down was scored by the Juniors in
the first stanza. A long run by
Linneman, a longer one by Booth
and line plunge of one and one
half feet by Thurmond scored it.
The second touchdown was scored
by series of successful line plung-
es and long forward pass behind
the goal posts to SWeety Wiiker-
son. The ball was in the 9Th grade
territory practically all the time.
The whole right wing of the Junior
team was picked up on the way
from the high school to the ball
park. They knew no signals and
they were not working with the
machine at all. 1t is pity that
the tenth grade, with only eleven
players, no substitutes, can not
depend on their players.
Linnemans punting and end runs,
Booths end runs and tackling and
the plunging of Thurmond and
Wideman were the features on the
Junior side. eKennedy, Boney,
Dennison. Gaskin and Wilkerson
did the best work for the Freshies,
The eighth plays the ninth
Thursday. This will be good
game.
1t is doubtful whether the nigh
school will play Norman Park as
was intended but if they do play
her we will let you know. Let's
have some crowds out and show
them some Fitzgerald spirit.
This is the high school football
song. 1t is sung to the tune of the
Harvard song;
"Oh' Hit the line for Fitz.Hi,
For she must win today
We will show the naughty visi
tors
That the Purple still holds sway
Oh sweep down the field again
Victory or die,
And we'll give the grand OLE
cheer, boys,
AS the Purple team goes by.

Miss Adams made her seventh
grade class to erase the pencil

the marks will stay erased as there

the school than marked up walls.

unable to teach so Miss Bernice

Rohrer was one of the star pupils
of the class of 1914 and she is just

pupil. We all wish speedy re-
covery for Miss Vaughn.

Second Team Selections.
The selections on the second team
are all good fast men and are in some
respects better than men on the first
team, but as a whole they all lack
qualities which go to make man fit
for an AlI-State team. Some lack ex-
perience, others are good offensive
players but weak on defense and some
are good defensive but are poor Of
fensive men. But. however, the second

any other organization in the state

on the All-State team this season but
who failed was Captain mike" Leath-

parson, last night shocked o

and parents when he told them
that England's Boy Scouts had

had taken a German trench at

were driven out with heavy losses
by German counter-charge.

than made proud, however.

ASKS MONEY
FOR DIVORCE
SUIT DEFENSE

Two years ago the wife of an
assistant bank cashier who was
earning $3.50 a month--and now
compelled to support herself in a
kitchen and a single room.
This was the condition which
Mrs. George e. Dixon described
today in superior court in asking
that Dixon support her and fur
nish her with attorneys fees
with which to contest the divorce
action which he has brought
against her.
She denied all charges of mis-
conduct brought against her in
Dixon's suit, and said she would
have an effective defense to his
action If she were allowed an at
torney's fee.
She also alleged that Dixon, al
though well off, had refused to
support her properly. He is a
former assistant cashier of the
Fidelity Trust Co., and now a
realty operator, she says.

Milk Inspector May Resign Office
Saloon
Owners

Judge yesterday handed down
a decision today which cleared
Steilacoom saloonists of the death
of Ernest f. and August j. Yehle,
who were drowned near Dupony
while intoxicated.
The two youths, it was conced-
ed by both sides, bought numer-
Gus drinks in Steilacoom saloons
one afternoon in April, 1914, and
then took a boat for home.
When they arrived at the land
ing, they tied the boat to the
wharf and went to sleep. The
tide went out, the rope tighten
ed and the boat tipped over. The
bodies Of the young men were
found on the beach next day.
With these facts admitted,
Judge yesterday held that the
saloonists had not sold liquor to
the boys--one of whom was a
minor-under conditions which
made them responsible for the
deaths.
The father, Charles A. Yehle,
had sued for funeral expenses and
for damages.
Attorney Mcmahon, for the
father, will appeal.
The saloonists alleged to have
been involved were w. F. O'Gara
and William Schiesz and wife.
