Elkton, Md, once popular Gretna
Green, formerly the mecca for hun
dreds of youthful elopers from Viii
mington, Philadelphia and other cities
has been so beset by recent handicaps
that Chestertown,M ,Md.,is running away
with big slice of the marrying bus

fourteen couples last week, the mar
riage records show. Most of these
were from Philadelphia, Chester and
other sections. Their ages were in
most cases around 1S of the girls and
21 of the boys. The growth of the
Chestertown "Gretna Green" is due
principally to the fact that the clerk
of court at Elkton is observing strict
Office hours, although the recent ar
rest of Richard P. Western, the towns
marrying parson, who is credited with
1000 or more marriage ceremonies
since last January, together with the

REHOBOTH DANGERS SCARED
Temporary Platform at New Henlopen
Dance Hall COllapses; Score Hurt

About two dozen men and women
who attended the invitation dance at
the dance pavilion in Rehoboth on Fri
day night are suffering bruises and
other injuries, although none was
seriously injured, as a result of a
platform collapsing, causing those
standing on it to crash to the ground.
One of those who suffered the most
painful injuries was J. Gordon Gova-
tos, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Gova-
tos, of Wilmington. His side and arm
were cut, necessitating nine stitches
to close the cash in the side and two
to close the cash in his arm. He was
treated at the Beebe hospital, Lewes.
Among others injured were: Clarence
E. Keyes, of near Pennington, ankle
injured; Mildred Murphy, Of Lewes,
cash in arm about eight inches long;
Lila Townsend, of Selbyville, daugh-
ter of former Governor John G. Town
Schilling, of 618 West Twenty-seven-
tn street, Wilmington, knee injured,
lip cut and teeth knocked loose; z. NJ.
Davis, Of Wilmington, bruised; JOS
ephine Brannon, of Rehoboth, nose
broken. More than 100 persons were
on the platform when it collaped. Of
these 25 were injured. Many Of those
injured were rushed to the Beebe Hos
pital at Lewes for treatment 1t
seems that temporary platform had
been constructed from the dance pa
vilion to a refreshment stand. After
one Of the dances, there was a gen
eral rush for refreshments when the
platform, which is outside the dance
hall, suddenly collapsed causing those
on it to drop a distance of about ten
feet to the ground. The platform
was repaired within short time. The
dance was the opening one in the pa
vilion, which has been moved from its
former position alongside the former
Hotel Henlopen to a position in the
rear.

judges and referee over Phil Krug Of
Patterson, ~. j., in ten slow rounds
at the Coliseum tonight. Slade, rated
as the outstanding challenger for the
middleweight title, won eight of the
ten rounds handily.
Krug fought a defensive contest
and was in full retreat most of the
time, with Shade trying to do the
leading. Neither opened up except
for a brief flash, and the customers
began filing out of the building as
early as tie sixth round. Each scaled
1871 pounds. Nine thousand specta-
tors paid $4,000 to witness the match.

ing became legalized in Illinois.
Reedy sustained wicked cut over

his right eye was split open. Within

VIII Champs Repeets

AS a rule, pennant winners in
the major leagues are favored to
repeat. The experts, however, do
not lean any too strongly to the
champs of last year in forecasting
the 1927 baseball races.
While the Cardinals are liked
better than the Yankees to go over
for the second time, there are many
who believe two new clubs will finish
in front this year.
None of the experts gave the
Yankees chance last spring, yet
they took down the American league
flag. The team they couldn't see
last year is practically the same this
season.
The Cardinals will be without
Rogers Hornsby. There is no getting
away from the fact that Hornsby
as manager got 100 per cent out of
his players. Bob O'Farrell must do
as well.
1t looks like tough race in
both leagues with four or five clubs
in both Leagues having a chance.

That the five drivers all hail from

Sundays race will be a "Erotherly
Love" affair by any means, in fact
the opposite holds true in this case,
as each driver has at least one de~
feat from the remaining four, and it
was only on condition that the CONS
ing race oe designated as cham
pionship affair, to determine once
end for all just who was who, THAI
four of the drivers were signed up.
The Bisbee trophy proved the
necessary 1nGuCeUI6utT 10 bI'i TIC
fifth albuquerque entry to compete
for the Championship. However, the
Albuquerque boys will find plenty
of competition in the Arizona en-
tries who are determined the Bisbee
trophy shall not leave Douglas.
Foremost among the local entries,
is Jimmie Randolph, for several years
a familiar figure to race fans
throughout the southwest. The
Albuquerque boys gave Randolph d
good trimming in their last meet
and it is quite possible "Randy'' has
not forgotten the incident.
G. H. Davidson, another local en-
try plotting the Opex Special, en-
tered by Cap Sinninger, states that
when the flag drops for the start OF
the Bisbee trophy race he intends to
go, "stone blind and hog wild" and
so long as four wheels remain on
his chariot the Bisbce trophy will
continue to reside in Douglas.
