Once protege Of the ex-Empress Eu-
genie, by whose influence she was able
tn break the closed ranks of men doe

to the miserable poverty Of the shabby

been reduced to a fifth in value by
law and she is unable to spend money
on an attendant or servant.
The medical profession, or at least
that devoted portion Of it that is oc-

g0ee.at DIanoteh 70 rne 1870


NORFOLk, Va, Feb. 13.-With four
OF her sails set and with seagulls
roostlng IN her riggings, the five
masted schooner Carroll A. Dapriug j.
haunting the life savers along the At
lantic coast from Manteo to Hatteras.
nen night fell over the Atlantic OH
January 81 the coast guards patroIing
the beach at Diamond ShoaS and Hat
teras reported everything alr right.
At dayoreak next morning the
schooner was seen ashore on the south
west edge OF Diamond Shoals. Coast
guards made an effort to reach the
ship, but were driven back by high
seas. they got to within a quarter Of
mile Of the schooner They signalled
the vessel, but no answer came.
Through powerful glasses they saw that
the lifeboats Of the schooner were
missing Seas broke all over the little
motor boats in which the coast guards
mad set out to rescue the men on the
stranded ship, but there were no men
there to rescue
What became of the vessels crew
was mystery. II was first thought
they mad been picked up hy a passing
snip, but when day after day passed
and no word was received coast guards
and mariners concluded that they had
tNNNNA4' RSSS W 4C@Fc LLG NGSScl ana ndG
been swallowed up by the seas. But an
examination of the ship showed her to
be in excellent condition. There was
no occasion for the crew to leave.
They could have remained on board
to this day and still be safe.
There as nothing to show that any,
body was on board when the schooner
hit the beach
Wreckera began stripping the vessel
last week, but the owners did not think
the ship could be saved and the work
was abandoned.
Now the vessel is q ghost shin" to
the coast guards. Sea gulIs shrek dis
NAL calls to their mates from the rig
glng. Coast guards, like all other men
VINO follow the sea, are superstitious.
They want the schooner removed. The
only sure way of removing her is to
blow her up with dynamite. The coast
guard cutters Seminole and Manning
will be assigned 10 the task Of ridding
the shoals Of the schooner unless she
IS ttoated within ten days.
The Deering carried a crew of eleven.
Captain Wormwell was her master. She
was bound to Norfolk from the Barba-
dos when she went ashore. She was
built in 1919 and was worth $270,OOO.
She was considered q staunch craft.

|SCOR{ UPSET At SOCCER
City All.Stars End Winning Streak
of Baltimore Latrobes in
4-to-2 Contest.
BY Ripley

Washington's all-star soccer eleven
surprised its most ardent admirers
yesterday when it overcame the La
trobes of Baltimore in a 4 to game
played on Potomac Park field. The
Alarylanders went into the match
with a team that had been playing
together for some while and had won
it's last eight engagements. The
visitors put up an excellent game, too
but the city players had everything
in the way of speed and aggressive
ness and in the second half launched
an attack that swamped the Latrobes.
The Baltimoreans were first to
score. Martell. center forward, get
ting a goal before the opening half
was twenty minutes old. Washington
soon tied the count. Banning booting
for the point. Early in the second
session the city players. swept
through the field and when Six min
utes of play had ended three more
goals were credited to Washington.
These were made in order by Will
liams, McGinty and Callily. Just be-
fore game time, Martell registered
another Baltimore point.
Williams, McKinty and Capt. Graves
did much good playing for the city
team and they were ably assisted by
Banning and Gardner. OF the visitors.
Burmeister and Nixon were strong
defensively and Martell and Weiner
were apt at leading attacks.

Plays That Puzzle
:BY BILLY EVANS=

Here is a play that involves Jug
Cling a fly ball. There is a runner
on third and one man out. The bats
man hits to left center. The left
and center felders start after the
ball. The left fielder makes a play
on the ball. but as the ball strikes
his hands he stumbles, and the ball
is knocked into the air. The center
fielder, who is nearby, completes the
catch by getting the ball before it
touches the ground. The runner on
third held his base until the ball
struck the hands Of the left fielder
He then started for the plate. The
center fielder, after completing the
catch. threw the ball to the third
claimed a third out. The contention
was raised that the base runner had
no right to leave his base until COM
pIetion of the catch. that the left
fielder had merely Intercepted the bail.
What about this play?
The Score Counts.
The run counts. The runner on
third held his base until the fly ball
touched the hands of fielder. The
fact that the left fielder did not re-
tain the ball. and that the play was
completed by the center fielder has
