JEALOUSY PUTS
PAIR IN COURT
Ancient @Eternal Triangle Play is
Reenacted With Box Car as
Setting By Mexicans.

A woman's hand and jealousy
caused a resetting of the popular
Eternal Triangle" play in two
parts with box car near the Rock
island roundhouse as the scene
Monday and last night
Principals in the cast were Al
berta Sparta, Aleis Alorosa and
Ienora Hernandez All are Mex
leans.
Aloroza's heart was filled with
love for Senorita Hernandez, but
with his woOing he mixed liquor
with heart throbs too strongly and
his hoped-fo sweetheart's other
wooer became angered and pro-
ceeded to have his rival taken from,
his sight
This was done by a blue coated
officer of the law, and not by the
dagger route as Senorita Herman
deZ feared for she loved her brave
Senior Alorosa, despite the taste
for liquor he had cultivated. Alo-
rosa paid $40 in the police court
Monday night for diSOrCerly con-
duct
But, here begins part two Of the
play.
Senorita Hernandez. angered by
the action of her lovers rival. took
matters into her own hands and
proceeded to sweat out a warrant
for Sparta whom she charged with
disorderly conduct.
He made de love too much
strong, Senior Judge" she told
Magistrate Smith last night. II no
like heem."
Sparta paid his SO fine for dis
orderly conduct and returned to
his box car dwelling.

DO NOT LIKE
GOLF TOURNAMENTS
WITH YOUNG PLAYERS

Del Monte, Cal, July 2e.-Adult
players do not relish the idea of com
peting in golf tournaments against
boys. according to Fred A. Purner.
who is in charge Of the various ath-
letic tournaments held at Del Monte.
The older men play golf largely for
the social relaxation which the game
affords. aside from the exercise they
get out Of it." said Purner. The boys
take competition more seriously and
play to win. Therefore the objection
Of the older men is based, to a large
extent. on the fact that the boys do
not make good companions in the
rounds of h links.
1T is not. unlikely that the middle
aged man, incidentally. has his pride
more or less injured when he is beat
en- out by a youngster. At all events,
the adult has a much more pleasur-
able time when he is in competition
with men Of his. own age and. as golf
primarily is engaged in for the pleas
ure it affords. it is Just as well. when
possible, to take this phase Of the sit
uation into consideration"
AS a result, Purner is working out
plans for permanent tournaments in
which the youngsters under a certain
age car compete among themselves.
