BY KEEN A RAFFERTY,
ANNAPOLIS, Mr., Feb. Ig.-None
of your gloom in this marriage. Isn't
marriage supposed TO be q happy
state? The psychologists may talk
about happiness in restraint, but
every person betwe&T<the ages Of IL
and ri knows ~ nappinSss is a
matter of exbk&ating music, happy
go-lucky disfespect of conventions,
and so on (see Millions L'Allegro).
So argued Miss Margaret j. Roch-
ester, q, of Baltimore, and Walter
Phillips, of Camden, n. J., a student
at st. Johns college here. And they
acted in accordance with the argu-
ment.
Based on Partnership
1t is a partnership marriage, they
explain. No hasty affair. There
was a courtship Of two years. Then,
with proper collegiate" ceremony,
they were united in the basement of
a fraternity house by Rev. DIR. X. w.
II. Weech, an Annapolis minister.
The families weren't surprised, but
the campus of the oldest college in
Maryland was.

He carefully explained the we'd

"For the words until death do us

1T is a partnership. Neither of

of Dixie into battle here New Year day,
against the University of California
were in fighting spirit.
Raleigh Drennon and Jim Brooke,
respectively regular and substitute
guards who have been laid up for sew
eral days, will be in the game. but
perhaps not in the best of condition.
Comparatively light was the work of
the Yellow Jackets today after two days
of intense scrimmage and a strenuous
dummy and signal drill yesterday. On
Monday Coach Bill Alexander will put
the finishing touches on his squad in
q drill.
A highly optimistic atmosphere pre-
walls in the lair of the Golden Bear
of California. Although pep aplenty
was evident in the one practice session
this morning, the confident feeling of
the Bears does not carry the earmarks
OF cockshurenesS.
Coach "Nibs" Price has indicated
that he is we'll satisfied with the physi-
cal condition of his men and gratifled
with the attitude the Bears have taken
toward the game. A light work -out will
top off the Californians' training today.
ArouSing excitement unprecedented in
Rose Bowl history, the game in all
probability will be played to a capacity
crowd of 10000. it was indicated today.
Less than 5000 tickets remain to be

%ED MILLER of the American
Security & Trust Co. team of
Bankers League assumed fourth
L place among the men seeking
honors in The Evening Star
duckpin tournament when he collected
COS pins at Lucky Strike last night.
He is the fifth contestant to smash,
the 900 circle and the first to pass that
goal since the opening night.
No changes resulted in the women's
division as none of the fair entrants
was scheduled to roll last night.
Al Souder, another American Security
& Trust Co. star, performing alongside
of Miller, recorded the second highest
set of the night, sos, which earned him
the seventh ranking position to date.
Shag Rawlings rolled into a tie with
Ellsworth Meyer and j. Donald Nevius
for eighth place, when he smashed 593
pins for the 5-game set. A l40 count
in his fourth game was high for the
night and enabled him to gain posi-
ton among the leaders.
Charles A. Sims totaled 589 to gain
present possession of twelfth place. and
George j. Dracopoulos of National Cap
tai League stepped into fourteenth place
with 578 total
A 576 total enabled Cecil Aylor to
gain seventeenth place, ano Edward
Kessler of Prince Georges County
League just squeezed into the list of
leaders with 571 total to grab twen-
tieth place.

second effort, bringing his total for two
games to 223. Perce finished the five
game string with 533 total. Splits in
his early games gave him a poor start.
Walter Lynn led the six Alexandria
Recreation Center entrants. His $50
count failed to get him in the list of
leaders. Clifton Wood was second
among the Alexandrians with a 556
total.
after four nights of bowling Clarence
w. Taft's high set of 654 generally is
considered certain to bring him the
of the opening night remains second
high, and Oliver Pacini's COG set of the
first night just survived Miller's assault
last night to remain in third place.
Jack Wolstenholme was showed into
nth place by Miller last night.
Mary Elizabeth Gersnt's 304 set
which tops the women's division, is not
likely to withstand the general attack
scheduled for Wednesday and Thurs
day nights, when the majority of WASH

and Elizabeth Ackman is third with 298

program.
Tournament competition will be re-
sumed Wednesday night, when many of
the men and women prominently asso-

v. F. KENNEY BUYS
INTEREST IN GIANTS
One-Fifth Share Said to Cost
$780, ,O00-Rumors of
DiScord Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Pur-
chase of one-fifth interest in the
stock of the New York Giants by Will
liam F. Kenny, New York contractor
and close friend of Gov. Smith, was
disclosed today, and the disclosure was
followed by emphatic denials that the
purchase shadoWed any shift in the
control of the National League base ball
club.
News of the deal, in which it was
estimated Mr.. Kenny paid $750,000 to
acquire $500 shares Of stock in the
National Exhibition Co., corporate
name of the Giants, was confirmed by
Charles A. Stoneham, president of the
club and controlling stockholder. He
explained that Mr.. Kenny several
months ago had acquired the entire
holdings owned for years by the Soden
& Conant interests of Boston.
On behalf of President Stoneham,
Secretary j. j. Tierney characterized as
bunk" any talk of discord in the club
management or any intention by Mr.
Stoneham of parting with his control
ling stock interests
Newspapers speculated on the tre-
mendous increase In base ball values,
based on the reported price paid by Mr.
Kenny for 20 per cent interest. It
would make the Giants franchise
worth $3.750.000.
