When, therefore lie applied to Sam Vau-

10 prove that he was real working man
and knew something at least of how for

in Hamlton's favor was his supreme lack

Underneath Mr.. Vauclain's specifications
as to his son-n-law was the theory that
one liorse-mad member Of household was

value Of dollar can make good husband

in the family and perhaps unconsciously
Connie grasped this truth and also perhaps
unconsciously She judged the men she met
by this standard. Just as she Judged
hores and ponies.
Naturally the marriage of young
woman of so spectacular n grlhood as
Constance Vauciain enjoyed must he of
intense interest to society, and particularly
to that society whose walls she had scaled
by way Of her horses. But no one could
point TO any one man as more favored
than another.

In May when the mistress of Broad
lawns announced her engagement to one
William H. Hamilton, fashionable society
was stunned. Who was the lucky young
man?
Hamilton, 1t was found, had been hard
at work learning the banking bust
ness for some time. Putting two and
two together, Philadelphia gossip says that
when Hamilton first met Constance he was
just out Of the army and that it was n
quiet little suggestion from her that sent
him to the bank to demand a job. The

to prove nuisance and family life Is
therefore disrupted. And Samuel Vauclain,
father OF several children, believes firmly
that children, and many Of them, are

William II. Hamilton fitted in splen-

the latter speedily said BLESS you, my

IL was just the sort OF marriage he had

She outplayed her rival by volleying
and making sensational recoveries of
the latter'S drives. Miss Goss was
cratic in service and suffered be-
cause of many double faults.

SCHEDULE FORTY ROUNDS OF BOXING
FOR ARDMORE SHOW TUESDAY NIGHT

Forty rounds of boxing are listed
on the card headed by Patsy Dono-
van. the Washington f1yweight, and
Little jeff of Baltimore to be offer
ed District fight fans at Ardmore
Tuesday night. The diminutive prin-
cipals in the main bout are down to
go ten rounds for the flyweight cham
pionship of the south. Each of the
five preliminaries is limited to six
rounds. but Manager Kid Sullivan
has selected such aggressive scrap
pers for these mills that several of
the encounters are likely to be cur
tailed.
A departure from Ardmore custom
is noted in the announcement that
Patsy Donovan and Little JEFF must
each scale at or below the 110-pound
mark at ring time. Heretofore Kid
Sullivan's boxers have weighed in at
o'clock the afternoon of the fight.
Donovan's normal weight is about
106 pounds, several pounds less than
Jeff's. but whether this ringside
weight stipulation i'm the bout agree
ment will be of advantage to the
Washingtonian is questionable.
Donovan, of course, has little need
to regulate his diet other than to
conform to the usual training routine.

Ruth's and MeusePs Homers
Bring New York Runs in
Thinning Game.

NEW YORK. July 24-Cleveland
went back into first place in the
American League to-day. defeating
New York 4 to ., in eleven innings.
The Indians scored a run in the first
on Speakers double. a wild pitch and
bad throw by Ruel. Meusel tied the
score with home run in the second.
and Ruth's thirty-fourth homer OF
the season, made off Bagby, in the
fouth, proved to be the Yankees final
score.
Cleveland tied in the fifth on triple
by Wambganss and Johnston's sacri-
flee fly. From then until the eleventh
it was tight base ball. Bagby and
Quinn pitched in fine form, but the
latter retired in favor of Mogridge in
the ninth.
In the eleventh Chapman reached
first on Ruth's error and Wood was
hit. Both scored on Gardeners triple
to right.
