While scores called newspaper
offices by telephone for big game

YOUNG PAIRS !.
ROMANCE
Marriage at Rockville Pre-
vented Because Youth Is
Only 1e Years Old

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. liza
telephone message from the sheriff
of Spottsylvania county, Va. to
Sheriff Clay Plummer, Of this coun-
ty, frustrated the matrimonial plans
of two young residents Of the Vir.
ginia county-Miss Mary Simms, OF
McIenry, and Dewey Brown OF
Snell-Who visited Rockville yes
terday in quest Of a license to wed.
The Virginia sheriff asked that
the couple be prevented from OBJ,
tanning a license because the girl
was but seventeen years old, but
second telephone conversation be-
tween the two sheriffs established
the fact that young woman was
actually nineteen.
Sheriff Plummer was just about
to release the couple when the
young man, who had represented
himself as twenty-one, fessed up"
that he was but nineteen.
The admission, Of course, spoiled
the matrimonial plans, and the
Spottsylvania county sheriff was
asked to send for the couple, which
he did later in the day.
At the summer meeting of the
Montgomery County Volunteer Fire
mems Association, in the town hall
at Kensington, with the Kensington
company host, reports from the five
organizations composing the asso-
citation - r. o kviIe, Kensington,
Sandy Spring, Silver Spring and
Talxoma Park-showed that q total
Of seventy-five alarms had been re-
sponded to during the last quarter.
The proposition to allot to each
company a certain territory, which
had been under consideration sew
eraI months, was abandoned, and
hereafter, as heretofore, all COM
panies will respond whenever called
upon.
The meeting was conducted by r.
Barnard Welsh, of Rockville, and
was attended by about $50 mem.
bers. The principal address was
delivered by State Senator Eugene
Jones. 1t was decided to hold the
fall meeting of the association at
Rockville late in October.
The Montgomery County Council
of the American Legion hopes to
have the 1926 State convention of
the legion held In this county, and
with that end in view appointed, at
the quarterly meeting at Kensing-
ton, Robert L. Tolson, Harold c.
Smith, Wilson L. Townsend and
John M. Falconer a committee to
push the matter.
Robert L. Tolson, chairman of
the trophy committee, reported that
two trophies had been awarded dur
ing the summer for athletic
achieyements-one to the high
school at Dlckerson and the other
to the high school at Sandy Spring.
In searching for a young negro
wanted of a charge OF assault,
Montgomery county officers visited
the home of Isaac Davis, colored,
near Chevy Chase, and found there,
they say, still, quantity of mash
and some corn liquor. They placed
Davis under arrest and he Is now
in jail.

Low MARK HELD

By FREDERICK G. LrEB

Whatever may be the fate of
the Boston Red Sox this season. It
Is doubtful II they can fall az low
as did the Athletics In 1916, the sec
ond season after Connie Mack broke
up his famous team. In that year
the Athletics sank to .235, the low
water percentage In modern base
ball. Three of Mack's seven tail.
enders. his teams OF 1915. 1915 and
1919, were all under the 800 mark.
However, a team playing .2S9
ball is a disgrace to major league.
Unless a team is hopelessly broken
up with accidents, there is no ex-
cuse for any team playing less than
800 per cent ball. That is less
than an average of three victories In
ten games.
Every club has the right to It's
own policies. Bobbie Quinn has de-
cided to build up a team OF young.
sters in Boston and, with the excep,
ton of Bill Wambsganss and Catcher
Picinich, every veteran has been re.
leased. But Is that fair to the other
clubs?
No club should weaken itself to
such a position where 1t Is unable
to defend itself. It is like sending
an unframed amateur into a ring
with a champion or a veteran
boxer.

Rabbit Maranville, the new Cub

them against the fierce Macknien.
Johnny Hodapp, recently purchased
from Indianapolis for several gull
den and a few players, is expected
to join the team before 1t finishes
the series here and will immediate
ly go to work at third base.
Hodapp comes from Cincinnati
and this is his second season with
the A. A. Club. In 1924 he had a
batting average of .S4S and attract.
ed considerable attention from the
big leaguers, but was considered q
bit too green for plucking. During
the present season, however. the
youngster has not been hitting with
the same Eusto as last year.
The last averages released show
his sticking average as .279 for
102 games, but the indianapolis
peddlers claim he has been hitting
in the pinches, which, II so, make
him a more valuable sticker than
the averages proclaim.
Hodapp, however, is not a long
distance clouter, nor is he a comet
on the bases. Thus far this sea
son he has hit but two home runs
and his pliers total but four, not
enough to give Mickey Cochrant
or the rest Of the American League

Eddie Has Already Resigned

Soon Ducks Football

Eddie Mahan, once football and
baseball star at Harvard and in
recent years Crimson coach in
these sports, has resigned as the
baseball mentor and Ii determined
to quit as gridirori assistant. too.
His decision not to return as base
ball coach comes as no surprise.
az his regime this year was far
from successful.
Mahan did the best he could
with material which was brilliant
at times but erratic, but Harvard
learned that there Is q vast differ
ence between q coach like Jack Stat.
terry, who resigned to go to Boston
College, and q man like Mahan,
who has. had no experience in pro-
fessionaI baseball.
il was reported some time ago
that Harvard would ask some pro-
fessional veteran to succeed Mahan
as baseball coach. Yale has Joe
Wood, once great pitcher with
the Red Sox and later an efficient
outfielder with Cleveland. Prince
ton Is coached by Bill Clarke. once
great catcher with the Orioles,
and Jack Combs. the Athletics and
Dodgers star in the box. It WASH t
fair to expect Mahan to battle on
even terms with such opposition,
even granted that he had material
of equal caIber.
Mahan says that he will retire
from the football coaching staff
after the 1925 season and devote
himself to business. His passing
would be a big blow in to the Grim
