A MAN, A GIPSEY MISS
AND HIS MISSING 81

1t will be remembered that a West
brok man recently accused a Gipsey
girl of having annexed a sum of $50
from his person while he was allow
ing her to demonstrate her ability in
the flirting line and afterWard found
it down in his bootleg, where 1t had
evidently slipped while he was shak-
ing in his boots. 1t is said that an
Augustan recently net the same out
fit out on Western avenue and was
more or less impressed with the at
tractiveness of one of the party, so
that they We're at one time close
enough for him to tel, the color Of hel
eyes.
The Augustan after the Gipsies had
gone on their way, suddenly discov-
cred that his bill fold or little wallet
was missing. Without stopping for
any search, he stopped a passing auto
and fastened after the Clips. lie had
no sooner got out OF sight of his men
when one of them picked up the little
wallet from the ground, where 1t had
fallen and remained unnoticed by the
owner. The contents were apparently.
intact and the boys decided it was one
on the boss and strange to say mos,
of the passersby seemed to at once be-
come aware of the matter without the
boys saying a word tc anyone.
The boss on his return was rather
uncommunicative as to his interview
with the Gipsies and was dumbfound-
ed when the wallet was returned to
him by the finder. He also asked ana
then pleaded in his prettiest way that
the boys tell no one of the incident,
which they all promised, on the agree
ment on the part of the principal ac-
tor to Set 'em up right royalty"
No one seems to Know how the story
leaked out, unless it was through those
passersby who seemed by intuition to
realize that Charles had got into some
kind of a mixup with the Gipsies and
had lost" the whole sum of Four
Dollars.

FLOOD SubSID|NC
AFTER REACHING
HEIGHT OF 7FT. 6 IN.

After causing some apprehension on
account Of its rise Wednesday night
and Thursday the water in the Eenne-
bee river began to fall at about
o'clock Friday morning and continued
to fall throughout the day. There was
some worriment Thursday night as the
water continued to rise, for fear that
it would find it's way into some Of the
cellars of the buildings along the east
side of Water street, but all fears prov
ed to be groundless, for though the
water came up onto the lower end of
the steamboat wharf 1t was some dis
lance from the brick buildings along
the street when it reached it's maxi
mum height.
About the only inconvenience occa-
stoned by the freshet was to the steam
err Islander of the Augusta and Booth
bay Harbor route. The steamer came
to her dock at about $50 Thursday
evening and coaled up from the Purin-
ton sheds, the Purinton Bros. Co. get
ting out teams for that purpose, and
after having coaled the steamer laid
at the dock until about daylight when,
as quite a number of stray logs came
along driven by the swift current. it
was not deemed wise to hold the steam
er here and subject her to the risk Of
being rammed by these logs, so her
lines were cast off and she hurried
away down river to find safer land
ing.
The appearance of the river Friday
morning was but Slightly different from
that of Thursday afternoon at sunset,
and the increase in the height of wa
ter was mainly due to the food tide.
for just as soon as the tide began to
ebb it was followed by falling off Of
the water. The water on the Augusta
dam reached its maximum height, seven
feet and six inches late Thursday night
and held at that point until 8 o'clock
Friday morning when, as stated above
it began to fall, not fast but steadily.
At o'clock Friday afternoon it had
dropped to six feet and eight inches
and was still falling. and all danger Of
any damage from the freshet was for
the present thing Of the past.

Several American Association Clubs
Want New President

CHICAGO, November There viii
be-no special meeting of the American
Association tomorrow, as requested by
four of its club owners. it was an
nounced at the headquarters of the as
ISOLATION here last night.
The request Of five club owners is
necessary before a special meeting can
be. called. and as President Wathen of
the Louisville club. vice president of
the association, has declined to join
the movement of the four clubs re-
rquesting the meeting, no official notice
will be taken of the request until the
return of President Chivington from a
hunting trip. Mr.. Chivington will not
return, ii was said at his Office, for
several days
Certain club owners, according to re-
ports, will strongly oppose the re-elec-
tion of President Chivington at the an
nual meeting of the association, which
probably will be held here early in
December.
wathen, according to advices from
Louisville. declined to say what clubs
had asked him to Join in the request
for a special meeting Neither would
he reveal the apparent purpose of the
meeting.
His reason for refusing to join in the
request, he said, was because he con-
sidered the movement unfair to Presi-
dent Chivington during the latters alb
sencs on a vacation trip.

PAR RATINGS ARE CUT.
Western Women Improve at Golf,
Calling for New Handicaps.

CHICAGO. November 1.-The Wom-
ems Western Golf Association, at its
annual meeting here yesterday. adopt
ed a new par rating, and in next sea-
sons competitions club handicaps will
stand as official ratings for the assoc
citation, according to the announce
ment of the president, Mrs. ]. P. Gard
ner.
The new table. which already has had
a successful trial. follows: Up to 175
yards par. is 3: IT'S to 325 yards. 4: 326
to $50 yards, s; 451 to SIS yards, s; 576
and upward. Z.
The previous table was found to be
too high owing to the increasing skill
Of the players. In some instances play
ers in the association who belonged to
two clubs had handicaps which differed
considerably.
The report Of the corresponding sec
rotary showed a membership in the as
ISOLATION of ninety-one clubs as against
seventy-seven last year.
Mrs. Melvin Jones of Glen Oak. the
Chicago champion, won the individual
point medal with a total of 1875. Whea-
ton Club won the point record trophy,
while Sheboygan, Wis, won the inter-
state cup played for by teams outside
of Chicago with s14 points. Iverness
was second in the latter contest with
5ss, Detroit Golf Club third with 237
and Shawnee of Lima, Ohio. fourth.
with 235.
All Of the old officers Of the associa-
ton, headed by Mrs Gardner as presi-
dent, were reelected.

all the advantage was with st. Johns.
but the State eleven has been able to
work out a victory in each of the last
three seasons. This fall the College
better record. but unless it overcomes
the overconf1dent feeling that charac
terized it's play last week against
Haverford it will have a mighty hard
time winning. if it wins at all. 1t is
characteristic of st. Johns that it plays
much better foot ball against Maryland
State than it does in games with other
teams.
The Central High eleven pulled up
another notch nearer the championship
of the high schools when it outplayed
Business yesterday and won by score
of IA to s. The Blue and White showed
great Improvement in its play over
that evidenced against Western last
week. The particular feature Of the
play against Business was the expert
way Central handled the forward pass.
Long and Kaplan did some work along
to a college team. AS a matter of fact,
the percentage of passes in which Cen
trail was successful yesterday exceeded
by far'the percentage that gain ground
In college foot ball. Business also sue
ceeded in working a lateral pass very
effectively. Wise and Raedy taking
part in the play most often.
If Technical can win from Western
Saturday 1t will begin to look very
much as If the real championship game
this year in the school series will take
place between those old high school
rivals-Central and Technical. The RI
valry between these two institutions
is and always has been exceedingly
keen. In any branch of sport and in
any contest they battle against each
other for the mastery as in no other
combats, and If they meet in a game
in which the championship is at stake
the resultant struggle will be worth
going a long way to see.

stated, however. by a on the hfth

to the left of the fairway and she

The only local college not scheduled
to play foot ball Saturday is George
town. The Blue and Gray squad goes
to New York Tuesday, election day,
to face the Fordham team, and conse-
quently will do very little work for
two or three days previous. George
Washington entertains Ursinus and
will take advantage of the fact that
Georgetown is idle to play the con-
test on the hilltop. Catholic Uni
yersity makes a trip to Lexington,
Va. to take issue with the Virginia
Military Institute. Gallaudet plays
chester. Pa. and Maryland State
meets st. Johns at Annapolis.
George Washington meets a team
which is going to prove a worthy OPP
'onent. Ursinus, among other accom-
!lishments this season. has victory
been playing consistently good foot
ball. The Hatchetites have been i'm
proving gradually, too, and they
should present stronger front
against the Pennsylvanians than they
have shown in any contest in which
with Hopkins last Saturday created
quite a little enthusiasm and was a
stimulus needed to keep the men out
and working faithfully. George
Washington ought to enter the game
with Ursinus on even terms.
Gallaudet. following the game it
played last week against Mount st.
Mary's College, should not have a great
deal of trouble in defeating the Penn
sylvania Military College. The latter
has put up some fine foot ball at times
and this may be one of the contests in
which it will show especially to ad-
vantage, but Gallaudet should not find
itself against team too difficult for 1t
by any means.
