monton's surprise at winning the sec
ond game of the series, and her ina
bility to match Pleasantville's strong
lineup with Everham and Burns as
battery, caused Hammonton to hoist
the flag of defeat and disappoint the
spectators, who expected to witness
the third game of the series at Egg
Harbor Everham and Burns could
not play in the first two championship
games, on account of having to play
championship games in Florence and
Narberth. Chas. Piez told Ty Helfrieh
in the Sth inning Of Saturdays game
he would try to have a team at Egg
Harbor Sunday. Pleasantville wanted
TO play the game on the scheduled
date, Sept. 21st, but Hammonton want
ed to stall around, break an agreement
and get her pitching staff in shape for
the game at her own convenience.
No consideration was to be given to
Pleasantville, who played the first two

on hand. for the games at the set date

"On the eleventh hour of the

known.
THE sigh Of relief that went IN
around the world attest ed elouuently

Marriage Was Opposed

NORFOLK, Nov. 1l.-Althcugh
protesting to be happily married
to a woman almost three times
his age, Jack Griffith, twenty
nine, organist at a local theater,
admitted today that other occur
rences in his life since Ms mae-
riage have not been 80 pleasant.
Three weeks ago, two music
lovers beat and robbed him Of
diamond stick pin, a pre-
wedding gift from his wife, and
a purse, after he had favored
them with a few selections on
the theater organ after the con-
clusion Of the evening per-
Torrance.
High Priced Auto Stolen.
Saturday his high priced auto
mobile, a wedding gift from his
wife, was stolen. The automobile
was located yesterday in Richmond
and two sailors arrested and charged
with its theft.
The men are now confined in the
Norfolk Jail in default OF bond Of
$2,5 each. The car was badly
battered and scratched after it's
joy-side.
The bluejackets told police
judge that when they saw the car
in the rear of a theater they were
sure it belonged to a friend and so
they just borrowed" it.
Griffith attracteu considerable at
tention two months ago when he
married Mrs. Sarah Elizabeh Fray,
eighty.one-year-old widow, 1913
Quebec place northwest, Washing
ton.
The young musician had met Mrs.
Fray while he was employed at q
theater near her home.
Marriage Was opposed.
The marriage of the boy and the
elderly woman was opposed by Mrs.
w. w. Wayland, with whom Mrs.
Fray lived. Young Griffith left
Washington last summer to accept
his position in Norfolk and his
elopement with Mrs. Fray followed
in September.
When officials in Norfolk refused
to issue a marriage license because
of the discrepancy in the ages OF
the couple and the apparent i'll
health of Mrs. Fray, the couple went
to Portsmouth where they obtained
the necessary papers and were mar
ried by a Baptist minister Of that
city.

next
Question Before Coolidge.
The question has been put up
to the President in about this form:
"Can the party afford to wait
thirteen months before undertaking
to carry out its pledge to business
to lower taxes. particularly in the
higher brackets, and accomplish the
other legislative reforms that 1t
promised to business during the
campaign just ended?"
The '.old guard" advisers among
the Presidents friends have advised
him not to call any special session.
Business, they contend, is all right

Two fifths Of New House Has
Been lndorsed by
Progressives 4
BY WILLIAM HARD.

Here follows the first complete
analysis of the next House Of
Representatives from the stand
point of party allegiance combined
with the more important stand
point of allegiance to so-called
progressivism compared with so-
called conservatism.
The test on this latter point ID
not whether a member of the
House Of Representatives is pub
licly classified or is not publicly
classified as a LA Toilette Re-
publican"
By that test there are only
fifteen progressives or radicals.
or at the most twenty, in the next
House of Representatives.
176 Endorsed by La Toilette.
The true test, however. is whether
or not candidate for Congress
was in fact Endorsed and supported
by the La Toilette organization In
his struggles at the polls
That true test yields results quite
different from the ones reached by
the false test OF mere outward La
Follettism Oh anti-La Follettism.
The next House OF Representa-.
tives will contain at least 176 mem.
bers Endorsed and supported at the
polls by the congressional depart
ment Of the La Toilette national
organization from its headquarters
in Chicago.
The total membership OF the
House is 435.
TwO-fifths Satisfactory.
It is therefore apparent that two.
fifths Of the members OF the next
House are for one reason or an
other satisfactory to the elements
which supported Senator La Fol.
lette in the last campaign.
The principal reason why they
are satisfactory is presumably their
favorable attitude toward the
Howell Barley bill and other legis.
lation wanted by the railroad trade
unions.

gressional department in the La
Toilette headquarters in Chicago
was l.. e. Sheppard, chief officer

atives last Tuesday.
Radicals Not Crushed.
The general outcome of that study
and comparison may be set forth
as follows:
In the next House of Representa-
tives so.called progressive and radl.
cal ideas will haye less support than
In the last House but will still
nevertheless have large support and
are by no means yet crushed or
