Played for Challenge Cup
Before most national championships
there are preliminary events, sort OF
curtain ralsers TO the big affairs. At
Sandwich the preliminary event was the
st. Georges Challenge Cup. the leading
scratch medal competition In Great
Britain. The cup was presented to the
club by Mrs. w. II. Anderson, wife OF
the first honorary treasurer of st.
Georges Golf Club, and 1t was made
from the first gold ever brought to Eng
land from South Africa. II is valued at
twenty-one pounds and is given each
year by the club to the winner of the
event. Competition Is for the best ag-
gregate score. and is open to all amateur
golfers who are members Of recognized
clubs.
The then holder of the title was II. d.
Gillies, who finished second: tie cup
was won by John Graham, Jr. OF the
Royal Liverpool Club, who was the finest
golfer l ever saw play. His victory was
| a very popular one. He was greatly
| loved by his friends, who were always
expecting him to win the British cham
pionship, for he had been semifinalis
| five times.

the SUN again shone brightly. A short
dispatch was printed in the paper that
the St Looic Browns were after Bodie

the Athletics. Ping didn't care IL 1t
was true or not. All he wanted was to
be mentioned in trade.
When pressed for an interview he
said. "T amt noncommittal or nothing
like that, only | amt saying nothing"
Bodic has won n place in the hearts
of the Philadelphia fans and they would
regret seeing him leave. Connie Mack

LEPER NURSE, 80 YEARS,
DIES AT AGE OF 81
Friend of Stevenson, Had Charge
of Molokai Colony; Buried Be-

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 5.--(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press,

lie Order of St Francis, friend of Robert
! Louis Stevens and for thirty years in
charge of the Catholic Sisters hospital

settlement Mt kalaupapa, Hand of Molo.
kai, died there recently. She was buried
m the graveyard of the little Catholic
church at Kalawao, where lies the body
of Father Damien, the martyr priest
Sister Marianne was 81 years old and had
never visited the mainland after her
arrival in Hawaii in 1883.
For "a number of years she conducted
the hospital at Wailuku, island of Maui
and went to kalaupapa in 1888 She had
been sister of the Order of st. Francis
for sixty-hve years, taking the veil at
Syracuse, New York, the Mother House
of the Order. Born in Germany she came
to America when a young girl and lived
for time at Utica.
During the reign Of King kalakaua in
the early eighties, when lepers were
being segregated on Molokai, 1T became
imperative that more nurses be obtained
to care for the unfortunates. Walter
Murray Gibson, as American and
Premier OF the kingdom of Hawaii under
Kalakaua, made known the wants of the
monarchy to the head OF the Catholic
Mission.
Arrangements were made with the
Order of st. Francis and seven nuns
arrived here from Syracuse IN 1888. OF
this party, three survive Sister Marianne.
These are Sister Bonaventura, Sister
Renata and Sister Cresencla.

months he had been employed as an
expert in the airplanc assembling de-
partment He is known rs Edward

Government IN the development of

In his garage in the rear Of his home
in Yale Street, Hampstead, where he

also taken into custody, the Government
agents found workshop with hundreds
of blue print drawings Of airplanes and
parts They also discovered bundles of
Of newspaper clippings relating to the
war, those telling about German victories

The specific charge against both

that he worked and made his home

He obtained employment with the air
plane corporation last June by stating
that he was of French extraction born

Prior to that time he had been en-

that in the Curtiss plant he received
only the salary of an expert work
man
Mr. Armstrong was informed that
in going over airplanes which had been
turned out from the plant officers found
that crossbars for wings, which were
supposed to be in one piece, were made
IN two parts.
These parts were subsequently COW
cred with brass, so that an ordinary
inspection would detect the irregu-

Marchenet denied that he ever had
put together any parts in this fashion.

sale poisoning Of a large company of
soldiers here, Of which he is member.
While the name of the prisoner and
organization are withheld, the general
facts of the case were confirmed yester-
day afternoon at headquarters. Whether
the prisoner is German agent, who
managed to get into the army by hiding
his real identity or is merely Hun symp-
athizer, military authorities have not
determined.
The supposed plotter is said TO have
taken advantage of the opportunity
when given kitchen police" duty, to
place poison in a quantity of -four. The
usual careful supervision Of the mess re-
vealed the presence Of foreign sub
stance before the -four reached the mess
tables in the form of food All of the
-four at this kitchen has been seized and
samples are being analyzed by army
chemists The case will probably be
rushed to trial before a general court
ton is completed.
