 Miss Santry sums up her reactions severely as fellows: "The men are un- faithful and careless. The women are stupid and indifferent" She explains that men are prone to leave love letters ip their clothes. and that women make a habit of sending garments with jew elry adhering.
 Life in dry-cleaning office is just one piece of jewelrv after another and one love letter on the heels of another. When we send the love letters home in the cleaned clothes, wives always get them and trouble follows.

HURD IS STAR
AS MERCURY
TR|UMPHS
Forty-yard Run Is Deciding
Play As Mohawks Fall
Unexpectedly
By h. D. THOMAS

Matt Hurd, halfback, today u
acclaimed the foremost sandlot
hero Of the city. Matt slKirted his
own left end for a forty-five.yard
galIop that put the Mercury team
in position to score g. touchdown
and whip the Mohawks, Q to 0.
Largely as the result Of that run.
the Mohawk players are dazed and
head-achy. It IL difficult for them
to determine Just what happened
yesterday. They were beaten by q
team that most fans declared didn't
have q chance.
They were outp aged from start
to finish by team that was 90
poorly prepared for the contest that
1t didn't know its signals. Three
or four times because of this the
Mercury eleven was penalized for
delaying the game.
It was thought by many that
Mercury would concentrate on q de-
fensive game, being satisfied to
hold off its enemy But to the
immense surprise Of the MohawIE
team and about 5000 spectators,
the Winged Foot eleven started
with a determined offensive.
1t carried the ball by rushing
through the Mohawk line from
its own 2O-yard mark to the Mo.
hawks 4S-yard stripe. And here
Matt Hurd got away for the Oily
long run Of the game. He streakcd
1t for forty-five yards and either
shook off or outstepped all MO
hawks excepting Denny Sothern
who felled him eight yards from Ll,e
goa:.
Hurd further advanced the bal
on a couple Of charges and DE
Gassis then took 1t over.
The Mercury team. had accom-.
plished the last thing expected oil
1t. But this touchdown made IN
the first five minutes of play, ap
parently did not shake the Mo
hawks confidence, nor the conf
dence of its hackers.
It was thought generally tha'
the Indians would come back strong
and that as the game went on the
Mercury eleven would weaken. But
this didn't happen, not at all
Mercury went right on and gave
It's enemy an even battle If not
more.
As a result Oh tI1S Snho' no team
has an undisputed right to the city
chc nDionship. Mercury was beaten
nv the Apaches and by the Marine
Barracks team, both Of whom Wet
whipped by the Mohawks. In jus.
tice TO Mercury, however, it must
be mentioned that the Marines
were played when some Of Mercury's
strongest r ayers were out of the
city and 1t he'd few substitutes.
There IL talk today OF another
contest between Mercury and the
Apaches. Mercury was as much
surprised by the Apaches as the
Mohawks were astonished by Mel
curry.
The Mercury-Mohawk game was
played on a muddy field that pre-.
vented the Mohawks' speedy backs
from getting anywhere at all on err
runs and the Mercury line was a
trifle too powerful for them.
