GIRL STANDS IN PARKING SPACE.
BARRING ENTRY OF AUTOIST

Automobile.
Blocks Male Driver-Officer
lntervenes-Another Wom-
an Then Drives In.

When she saw a man maneuVering
fIs automobile into a parking space al
Eleventh and F streets yesterday which
her mother had planned to occupy, Miss
| Agnes Bass, attractive young daughter
| OF Capt. Ivan E. Bass, u. S. NJ, pre-
empted the disputed space by the simple
expedient of placing herself in front
of the machine and staying there.
Mrs. Bass, who lives at 1908 Jocely1
street, had driven past the parking
space on Eleventh street just below F
with the intention of backing up and
out into the street in order to park
without undue effort.
M. E. Simmons, an automobile sales
man. was also looking for convenient
place to park his car. He spied the
open spot just after Mrs. Bass had
passed it. He made direct turn in and
had entered about three feet into the
space when the daughter saw him.
Calls to Him to Stop.
Jumping out of her mothers car. she
called to him to stop. The astonished
Mr.. Simmons obeyed.
After informing the motorist that her
mother had prior claim to the space
and intended to enforce it, Miss Bass
walked around in front of Simmons
car and took up position directly in
front of the radiator, facing the driver.
Simmons footed his horn. Miss Bass
turned her back on him.
A few moments passed and she look
ed around again at the somewhat be-
wildered Mr.. Simmons. The latter de-
cided to affect indifference. He rested
his head on the steering wheel and pre-
tended to go to sleep.
Miss Bass folded her arms and shifted
to a more comfortable position. The
long distance waiting contest was on.
Several minutes passed. Curious
pedestrians paused hesitatingly to stare
at the unusual spectacle and then, with.
out invitation, Joined the contest.
Policeman r. S. Bridges, of the Traf-
fic Bureau, walked past and glanced
at the growing crowd watching the
tableau. He decided, apparently, that
it was none of his business and re-
sumed his post at the street inter-
section.
Crowd Increases.
A few minutes later and the crowd
had increased to astonishing proper
tons.
The policeman came back and looked
the situation over again. He asked
someone to tell him what the trouble
was. Immediately chorus of voices
started to explain. AT least four diff
ferent versions of the affair were forth
coming. Mr.. Simmons protested rather
meekly that he had been called names.
This was indignantly denied by the
other side, but Miss Bass then did ex-
press the belief that he was an "igne-
ramous.'
The whole thing was too confusing,
Offcer Bridges decided. He couldn't
tell what was what or which was which.
BY way of ending the controversy, he
ordered both parties to drive on.
Another woman driver came down the
street and deity steered into the park
ing place. She looked inquiringly at
the crowd, tested her door to make
sure 1t was locked, and, with an air of
Indifference, disappeared into depart
ment store on the corner.

If Purdue loses one, it will be tied

championship with four victories and
