Hopkins Took Defensive

BY Danny" in the Baltimore News
THE first half Of the game offers food
for much serious thought That Hop
kins had been instructed to play an
entirely defensive game during the
first two periods looks a certainty for
the team made practically no effort to
advance the ball. kicking almost i'm
mediately on every occasion the bail
came into its possession. Possibly ii
was figured that St. Johns would wear
itself out and that the Ancient City
eleven would be soft picking in the
second half AS a matter Of fact. this
line of reasoning looked particularly
good in the third period, when Hop
kins uncorked a punch as good as has
been shown all season but when some
eXecrable judgment made the good
rush work of this period go for naught
I'm the first period Hopkins made its
one first down of the opening half.
while st. Johns rushed the bail for
six first downs. 1t is striking that the
only two fumbles OF the entire game
both by st. John s-came in this per-
iod, and both were recovered by Hop
kins men, Hoffman getting the first
ard Bill Wood the second when he
made his sensational run for Hopkins
first score. ST Johns men may say
that this was a bit Of hard luck. but
team must not be denied the credit il
deserves by taking advantage of its op-
ponent's mistakes
During the first period, Hopkins
line showed anything but stonewall
powers, and it was rare occasion
when Senior. kirkpatrick and Ridgely
did not make some gain But it was
not a marker to the second period.
during which st. Johns made nine
first downs. while Hopkins failed en-
tirely in that direction during the
same time
1T was a steady march down the
field during the latter part of the half
and it was the real break of the game
against St Johns when the half end
ed with the ball in their possession
only scant five yards from the goal
line and with its backs going through

Much TO the surprise to all hands.
st. Johns did not show an open attack
until the latter part OF the game. when
it was desperate. The setto was clean
iy played and. as remarked before. ey-
ceptional in that but two fumbles were
made during the entire period of play.

He turned to the proprietor of the
store and asked the price.
"Sorry, mister" the man said. but

action to the word, he lifted down the
picture and laid it to one side.
Joe turned away disappointed. He
wanted that picture-it was just like

some girl had beaten him to it-just
his luck. He went into quick

a lonely man does have to eat any

home to his apartment-bedroom and

How should he spend the evening?
A movie show? Shucks! What's the
idea of watching a lot of ginks making
love all over the screen? Nix on that.
He was in no mood of lOvemaking. The
loss Of that picture was still affecting
him.
While Joe was in this frame of mind
certain young lady. of whose exist
ence he was not even aware, was feel
ing quite elated. She had got back
home from the office, and after eating
her supper she was going to extract a

have such opposite effects on different
people. But then, of course, the girl
mad not lost the picture!
When Joe put on his hat that eve
ming and set out to try and forget the
old home days, his steps seemed nat
urally to bend themselves in the direc-
ZION of the antique shop. The rain had
stopped and fresh wind was blowing.
He was still feeling homesick on ac-

was violently bunted in the middle by

from the sudden impact. He stopped

realized what had happened. He had

Col. |. ThOrd-Gray, an "old-timeT" of
the British army, now chief of in
telligence with the Canadian expedi-
tionary force in Siberia, once was ar
rested in HermOsilla, Sonora, Mexico,
where he joined the constitutional rev.
olutionists, with whom he later served
as cavalry commander. The ar
rest was an error, but Gray didn't
know it, neither did the Mexican cap
tain in charge of an adobe house which
served as a military Jail. Colonel Gray
demanded food after an eapse of 12
hours. He was brought piece Of
halfzraw steak wrapped in butchers

With an oath. the BritiSher threw
the steak, paper and all, out of doors.

the entrance. The Mexican soldier,
like the horse, excels at sleeping while
standing. AS the steak and brown pa
per rustled by the guard awoke. and
each man presented arms.
The prisoner finally got word to a
friend, who arrived soon after with
fine meal and a bottle of champagne.
The wine had been much jOstled in
the carriage, and when the wire was
cut the cork popped out with noise
like a pistol shot and the champagne
was sprayed up to the ceiling. At this
the guard at the door awoke the Sec
ond time. and each man stepped back
and threw cartridge into the barrel
of his MauSer.

mirrors that lined the side of the

the table opposite, fixed intently on
her A moment later, on looking
around again, she beheld the same i'm

Mrs. Hopkins, feeling that constant,

The first feeling of pleased vanity had
changed to one of annoyance, and
now approached that Of apprehension.
There was something mysterious, al

muttered, drinking in the familiar
scene. II wonder what has become of

A smile unseen by Joe lighted the
girls face.
"And Effie Farmer?'' she suggested.
For a moment Joe wondered if his
ears had deceived him. Then, wheel
ing round on her, he asked amazed:
Say, were you ever in my home
town?"

ly. II kind of think there was boy

She turned her head away-this
man was staring at her so rudely. He
seemed to have been stricken dumb,
too. He just stared! He stared so
long that she simply had to break the
silence. But it was the man who
spoke first after all. He had often
wondered about the little girl who
used to come to his mothers house.

her back. But that was years ago.
She must be quite grown up by this
time.
did you know Effie?" he asked
tensely.
The girl nodded. She still held her
head averted, and Joe wished she
would turn it into the zone of light
made by the street lamp. But she did
not seem interested She had tucked
the picture under her arm again and
moved as if to pass on. Joe was des-
perate. In all the long years he had
spent in the giant city he had never
felt quite the loneliness that oppressed
him tonight.
"Say," he asked wistfully, "do you
ever hear from Effie these days" If
only he could get this girl to talk a
little while it would help some. But
he got no answer Evidently she re-
sented his persistence. Joe felt
ashamed of himself and started to
make matters worse with stammering
apologies and exclamations. He didn't
want to be rude, but he did want to
hear news of the home folks and he
wondered if Effie Farmer was married
and where she was living. He
At last the girl did turn. She lifted
her face to where the light fell fully
on it. A smile was on her lips-a smile
composed of mischief, of petulance
and not little happiness.

you are very dull. Z If you happen. to
want to know, my name is Effie

That did it. Joe took one good long
last stare right into the girls face,
then, seizing the bundle from beneath
her arm, laid it on the sidewalk. He
opened his arms, then closed them
again around the form of Effie
Farmer.
"Effie, darling" he whispered. hold
ing her close, ''we've just got to share
that picture-gOt to"
And strangely enough time came
when the picture again hung on par
lor wall---their parlor wall.
