NEGRO ATTACKS
SARAH EPSTEIN
Young Woman Is Dragged Into
Eighteenth Street Alley
Bites Her Assailant.
HAD LONG FIGHT IN DARK

Coed, sound teeth saved Miss
Sarah Epstein, aged p years, Of 57O4
North Sixteenth street, from a das-
tardly assault by a powerful negro
last night. She bit the hand which
he had clamped over her mouth as a
gag and screamed for help. Her as
sailant, who had dragged her into a
dark alley, fed.
Miss Epstein was on her way to
a Jewish women's meeting at the
home of Mrs. Anna Cohn, lilo North
Eighteenth street. As she was walk
ing over Eighteenth street the negro
leaped from the alley between Mich
olas and lizard streets. Before she
could shout he had carried her 100
feet into the darkened area. She bit
his hand till the blood came. But her
assailant again gagged her with his
hand. She bit it again and when she
shouted the second time the colored
man ran down the alley and disap-
peared.
Miss Epstein was verging on hys-
terra when she told her story to the
police. She was unable to give de-
tailed description of the man who as
saulted her because the intense dark
ness of the scene prevented her from
getting a good look at him.

!Lumbago is a muscular rheuma-

jars, shocks, or anything that in
jures the spine or causes a mis-
placement of one or more Of the
vertebrae, producing nerve pres

bago and 1t is this nerve pressure
that, if allowed to exist, produces
pain to such an extent that motion
is a practical impossibility. This

Conditions were ideal for the big
professional golf match played over
the Columbia Country Club course
yesterday between Fred Mcleod OF

Chevy Chase. and James Barnes, of
the Whitemarsh Valley Club, of Phil
adelphia; and Wilford Reid, of Will

Transport Girls Tobacco Fund, and
n large gallery was on hand to see
the sport. The visitors won, up and
?, after thirty-six holes of good golf.
The first round was played in the
morning with the second on the after
noon card. Although the morning
round was the closer, the pairs end
ing all-even, much better golf was
shown in the afternoon, the best ball
cards Of both pairs being several
strokes lower.
The work of the local pair was
rather disappointing as, because of
its familiarity with the course, 1t
was generally picked to win. Nc
Leod was way OFF form and had the
highest score OF the day getting 159
for the thirty-six holes. Burgess was
much better with 149. while Barnes

the result that it took par or better
TO win practically all Of them.
Barnes lived up to his reputation
and did some of the best driving ever
seen. locally, invariably being the
longest from the tee. On the seven
teenth he accomplished the feat very
seldom done of clearing the green on
his tee shot in the morning round.
while in the afternoon he sent his
ball to the trap just in front of the
green Burgess and Reid captured top
honors at the short game as they
were much better than the other two
on the green's and each contributed a
number of long puts. Incidentally, 1t
might be mentioned that the pros"
at times looked like amateurs around
the hole as on no less than six oc-
casions the missing of short puts of
less than a yard proved costly.
An idea as to how the holes were

ing recapitulation. OF the 10 holes
won, Barnes won for his side and

ors on 5. Mcleod ard Burgess won
& the former taking 2. the latter 4,

giving Reid the next two for his side.
Burgess had an excellent chance of
having the second, but missed a five
footer. The Wilmington player took
the third by running down a long one
from the edge of the green. The local
pair took the fourth. each having a 4,
both the visitors missing short ones
FOR halves. Reid came very near
running another long one down when
his ball hit the edge of the cup from
about twelve yards, but was going too
hard and bounced some distance away.
Barnes missed putt of about yard
for a win of the fifth and it was
halved. Four Is accounted for the
sixth, while the seventh was also
halved, Burgess saving the day for
the local pair. Two pretty IS gave
the out-of-town players the short
eighth. although Mcleod rimmed the
cup in an attempt to sink a long one

WESTERN DEBATED
BY TECHNICAL TEAM
Georgetown Eleven Puts Up Bril-
liant Battle. but Are Forced to
Take Short End of Score.

Quarterback Adams of Technical
High. was fhe main cause of the
Western foot ball eleven's defeat in
the Central Stadium yesterday after
noon as his feet footedness proved the
big factor in the 30 to score.
Adams showed good generalship in
directing his plays against the West
ern line. On two occasions he car
ried the bell for long gains. In the
third period he caught a forward
pass from Westerns backfield and
ran 30 yards before he was tackled
from behind by quarterback Conlon.
In the fourth period. on an off-tackle
play Adams ran down the side line
for Techs third and last touchdown.
Western was the first to score az
1t worked the ball up the field on
short plunges into the left side OF
the line. Conlon found the weak
side of Techs defense and hammered
it hard. After holding Tech for downs
in midfeld Western was given the
ball and by gains of from TO 10
yards Simpson was pushed through
the center of the line for the first
and Groves kicked goal.
Tech scored twice in the second
period by gains through the Western
line and a long forward pass from
Boseley to Clark registered their first
Z points. After Tech carried the ball
down the field on end, runs and short
gains through the line Carpenter was
given the bali and on an off-tackle
play ran 10 yards for a touchdown.
The end Of the half Technical was in
possession of the ball in midfield in
the second half.
Technical found Western back with
a sturdy defense and were forced TO
work hard for their last touchdown
which came in the last period. The
ball had been exchanged twice when
Tech held Western and took the ball
in midfield. Adams was given,the ball
on the second charge and worked his
way through tackle and ran % yards
for a touchdown. The summary:
