ing the damage done to white suits
and dresses. Squatted along the left
field line and grudgingly permitted
the foul-line stripe to show during
the first game. When play began,
they stood up, forcing the box-seat
holders all along the left-field line to
stand also. To give these patrons a
rest in the second game. the man.
agement attempted to shift the on
field contingent to right field during
the second game. but only about so
per cent co-operated.
Many were armed with firecrackers,
ranging from ''ladyfngers" to 8 and
even 6 inch salutes. These they de-
lighted in tossing at Yankee out
fielders in the first game. One of the
bigger firecrackers exploded almost
between the legs of Center Fielder
Jake Powell Of New York.
In the second game the crowd. dis
gusted at the opening defeat and at
the lead piled up by the Yanks in the
nightcap, turned on the home side
and Washington outfielders we're as
busy as the New York gardeners in
jumping from firecrackers.
Children were lost by the dozen and
reclaimed in the ball park office,
which reSembled nursery before the
opening game was halfway finished.
The ball-park announcer, because of
this, hardly found time to call the
customary quota of doctors who were
wanted at their offices during ball
games.
Toward the end the crowd surged
on the diamond and several times
forced the umpires to call time. The
double-header, incidentally, probably
produced fewer foul-line drives than
any ever played here which was
lucky for many spectator who Drop
ped his guard or who ventured as far
as the foul lines.

The ex-flance appeared in court this morning and testified that he still wanted to marry the girl, and would, as soon as the the annulment was granted.
 Mrs. Lanese told Judge Simpson this morning that when Lanese stopped her to give her a ride, he was accompanied by a man named Miller. Instead of taking her to her friends home, she said they took her to Thomaston. There she was given glass of water, and she become nauseated and dizzy as soon as she drank it..
 The next thing she knew, she was in Brewster, N. Y, and Lanese was talking with 8 man he called judge. After a while they went to home, where Q man asked her age. She said 24, though she was OAb ~ ~ OAAC bAAAACs OAlG Dd4A IAObAlAlS else in the house, she claimed, still feeling nauseated.

 Groom Transferred
 Lanese then took her to Portland, Me, she testified, where he was stationed. Her mother and boy friend came up the next day to take her home and had Lanese arrested. He was later transferred to Panama.
 Mrs. Lanese said she had no in- tention of marrying Lanese and did not give her consent to any cere- mony. Everything that happened that day after she drank the glass of water seemed hay, she declared.

DISTRIBUTING THE BLAME

HERETOFORE those wicked New York bankers
- have had to take all of the blame for the non
redeemabe, non-cppable Latin American bonds
which lie uncoveed in the safe-depost boxes of our
land.
Certainly the bankers were not blameless The
the part of bankers representatives who by bribery
and other means, high presumed certain South
American republics into over borrowing and on the
part of big city banks which forced small country
banks to take the bonds
According to the latest statistics there are out
standing $1,2750Oo000 of those bonds, wholly or
partially in default.
But new light on the question of culpability is
shed in the latest report of the Senate Munitions
Committee After describing how armament sales
men-encouraged by officials of our own War and
Navy Departments peddled fear and suspicion and
guns and warshps to the republics of South America,
the report says

one Of the causes for the default on certain South
American bonds, and that the sales of the munitions

holding the bag are entitled to the munitions
