NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-By a
margin as decisive as their Ameri-
can League and World Series tri-
umphs, the New York Yankees were
named today as the outstanding
sports team for 1888.
Joe McCarthy's bombers, who
created an all-time record by whip

world baseball championship, were
named at the top of the heap by
81 of the 81 sports editors participant

Three other sports editors picked
the Yankees for the No spot and
three for No. 3. thus giving the
baseball titleholders a total of 1872
points out of possible 20l. Points
were awarded on the basis of three
for No. ranking, two for No. 2 and
one for No. 3.
Football gained the next three
places, with Texas Christians un-
beaten Horned Frogs as runners
up to the Yankees, with As points.

view of its defeat by Southern
California on December but could
be explained partly by the fact that
considerable number of ballots

have been split by Texas Christian
and Duke.

Her masses Of glowing chest

Mary Easily, to her judges.
TN 1892 an unpleasant lit
i tie maid Of Salem called,
not aptly, Mercy Lewis, was
one of a group of women
and children similarly af-
flicted with pin-pricks and
pinchings, foamings and fits,
which were the work Of
witches.
Mercy Lewis particular
witch was Mary Easily, who,
Mercy and her suffering
friends said, "did appear
and press upon her breasts,
placing chanes about her
neck"
It did not matter that
while Mercy was engaged in
her paroxysms in Salem,
Mary Easily was engaged in
housewifely duties for her
husband, Isaac, and their
seven children in Topsfield.
"Goody Easily, it was
you," chorused Mercy and
her horrid little band in
court that spring. and Mary
Easily bowed her head. This
brought on a concerted head
bending, and none of the
women and girls could lift
their heads until Mary Easily
lifted hers, for she had be-
witched them.
So Mary Easily was con-
demned to death. For two
brief days she regained her
freedom that May and went
to her husband and children.

blood still flows in the world

Of those to whom Mary Easily
was ancestress was Elinor

Elinor lived to gather the
tribute paid to those who
convey thought and emotion

titles falsely, banishes, con-

rich and idle gentlemen VINO
gathered through Washington's
sunny mornings in a corner of
the Metropolitan Club, there to
exchange gossip and play chess.
This was just before Christ
mas, 1910, and the news passed
quickly from mouth to mouth at
holiday parties. It was all the
more scandalous because Elinor,
even then remote and proud,
had offended the matrons of her
circle by her immunity from the
petty pastime of ripping reputa-
tions and her dislike for over.
intimate discussion.
Also annoying was that
Elinor's own reputation had
been rip-proof. No eavesdropped
word or careless glance ever had
limited that Horace Wylie, 20
years older than 24-year-old
Elinor, was about to take her

into the corners of a world so
jealous of their happiness that
its reproaches followed them for
years.
ENANs were held high in horri-
fled gesture. Balls and at
homes buzzed with the scandal.
But when reporters sought con-
firmation, Philip Hichborn said
that his wife was i'll in Atlantic
City, and Katharine Hopkins
Wylie said that her husband
could be reached at the Union
Club in New York.
And that has geen Katharine
Wylie's last word on the matter
from that day to this, although
she lives still in the red brick
house on Thomas Circle where
Judge Andrew Wylie, her hus-
bands grandfather, lived when
he sat on the bench in the case
of the United States against Mrs.
Surrat, first women given the
death penalty in the District.
Young Hichborn, however,
and his mother and Elinor's
mother soon confirmed the re-
ports that could not be denied
that Wylie and Mrs. Hichborn
were together in New York, then
Canada, then France, then Eng
land.
There can be no doubt that
they were happy. Nancy Hoyt
wrote of their happiness as she
saw it herself, and even now,
although he is no longer young :

arming, a gentle, attractive per

Somerville, N. j., in 1885, at
the beginning of a bitterly
cold winter, the first daugh-
ter of youthful parents who
were well-born and poor.
The family came casually
to Washington on a holiday
given them by Mrs. Hoyt's
father, and stayed because
they met old friends and
through them met officials
who offered to Hoyt the post
of Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, although he was still
less than 40.
Thus, by accident, Elinor
became part of the capital,
then still a village whose
limits were marked by the
river and by Boundary
Castle, then the stately resi-
dence Of John B. Henderson,
now a rooming house whose

nor answered, adding that she
had been in love three times,
and was three times married.
When Tallulah had gone, she
told a third person in the con-
Versation that it had been i'm.
possible for her Ito do as the
others do," to go on peacefully
with her marriage, to have hus-
band and lover both, a system
that was Of necessity fashion

So when she was persuaded Of
her love for Philips friend, she
left the Hichborn home. Her
baby was two that year, and
distracted grandparents did
what they could that Christ

less than two weeks.
Mrs. Hoyt, her husband not
long dead, was heartbroken.
The young husband could not be
conSoled. Mrs. Wylie, beautiful
in her own way, made her small,

death, followed. He found them,
but he could not bring them
home, and, reconciled, he gave
them the name by which they
later lived.
"Waring," he told them. And
he quoted Browning: What's
become of Waring since he gave
them all the slip?'"
So it was as Mr.. and Mrs.
Waring that the two that had

elopement itself comes sketchily
from Nancy Hoyt's biography.
Mrs. Hoyt joined them abroad.
And it was soon after she did
that Wylie reappeared in Wash

There was no statement from
