TRIPLE TIE IN CHURCH
LEAGUE AS SEASON ENDS
Lutherans Defeat MethOdists 81
81; EpiscOpals Down Cath
OIics 1896

Triumphs by the Episcopals and the
Lutherans in Tuesday nights games
played by the church basketball league,
created triple-tie as the season came
to an official end.
The Lutherans trounced the Metho-
dists 81 to 81, while the Episcopals
easily defeated the Catholics SO to Sc.
The Methodists had previously taken
the lead in the league last Thursday
night by defeating the Catholics in an
overtime period battle. Had the Luth-
Grams lost Tuesday night the Metho-
dists would have ended the season with
only three defeats, but now the Episco-
pals, Lutherans and Methodists have
won five games and lost four. The
Lutherans last Thursday defeated the
Episcopals 52-4S to win the chance
to cause the league tie-up.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee last evening it was decided the
season would definitely close with the
triple-tie, as no winner could be fairly
chosen prior to Holy Week, and be-
cause after Easter definite plans were
to be made concerning a softball
league this summer.
The committee pointed out the
league competition was started in the
first place to provide entertainment
and recreation and that this aim had
been accomplished. The members OF
the committee praised the players for
keeping this aim in mind and for the
display Of good craftsmanship. They
urged spectators to also keep this in
mind should the softball league mater
ialize.
In order to show appreciation to the
high school for its cooperation in pro-
viding the place to play these games,
all teams will play this evening against
the high school team in a benft
game. Admission will be 10 and 20
cents, all proceeds going to the OILS.
Athletic Association. Each church
league team will play one quarter OF
the game.
In Tuesdays games White and
Graves led the Lutheran attack with
Is and Is points respectively, although
Baird, Spoerlein and Sharps also con,
tributed field goals when needed
Jones was high scorer for the Metho-
dists with IL points; lawton with {
and Mason with were next. Luther
ans led at the half 27-15.
Crane led the Episcopal scorers with
20 points, and Pollock and Slaysman

Driver Had No License


DR.. Wilson is named defendant, the
suits say, because he "negligently,
carelessly and imprudently'' gave his
daughter, Fannie, about 18, control of
his car. Miss Wilson in turn "invited"
Wooddell to drive the car, the suit
continues, charging that Wooddell had
no driving license.
Wooddell, who is also about 10, was
driving when the car struck Andrews
and Miss Maynard as they stood in
a private driveway leading from the
highway to the cottage Of Mrs. Ralph
Weber, whose guests they were, ac-
cording to the suit. Both were seri-
ously injured.
Wooddell was driving sixty-fve
miles per hour "recklessly and incom-
petently," the papers in the suit de-
clare.
The declaration lists the severe and
permanent injuries suffered by An
drews as including a fractured collar
bone and shoulder joint and a COM
pound comminuted fracture of the
thigh-bone.
Midshipman's Career Hurt
These and other injuries, together
with an infection that resulted, kept
him confined to Memorial Hospital in
Cumberland for six months and later
in the Naval Academy Hospital at An
napolis, the declaration goes on, ad-
ding that he was put to great expense
to pay for hospitals, doctors and
nurses.
In addition, che was deprived of the
opportunity of graduating from the
Academy with the class of 1910, Of
which he was member, and his chosen
career, that of a Naval officer, has
been jeopardized and in all probability
ended" as a result of his injuries.
Girls Ankles Broken
Miss Maynard's suit, brought in the
name of her mother, Mrs. Lillian lola
Maynard, says that she suffered COM
pound fractures of both ankles and
was otherwise injured and shocked.
AS result, it adds, she was confined in
Memorial Hospital "for long period
of time" and was put to great expense
for medical attention.
At the same time, the suit states,
she lost a half-year at the University
of Maryland and also the income from
a NYA job
The suits were docketed by Attor-
neys George w. Legge, Cumberland;
Neil C. Fraley, of Oakland, and Guy
B. Brown, of Baltimore.
