Better sport was offered than had been expected A few of the players had been in the game this season but others had not played a game for at least two years and some had never made their initial attempt. The indications are that the league will prove a surprise in the strength shown by some of the teams before the season closes. Team Went to Pieces. After making a runaway race of the first half in their game against the Twos, the Ones fell down in the sec ond half and were unable to score a point. In the first half the ball was with them the most of the time, but in the next session, the team went to pieces following a shift in the lineup and could do nothing. In this half Drunson came back too strong for Wiechman and it was through his individual work that the score was piled up and the team won out.

The Fours went into their game overconfident and after securing a comfortable lead settled down and almost lost the game. The Threes rallied strong in the latter part of the first hold and went ahead, but in the second half the Fours had little trouble in, regaining supremacy. Thornburg scored twelve field goals. His work was not sensational, however, the goals coming after easy chances, when left unguarded. Marlatt worked : hard for hia team but could not pull it through to win.Summary; Threes Fours Kinsey Buell Left Forward McConaha Thornburg Right Forward Marlatt Browji t Center Williams .........

All teams are expected to select the name of some educational institution ' prominent in athletics. The games were rather fast and it was really surprising that the pace could be maintained to the end. considering the physical condition of some of the players. The Ones and Threes and Fives and Sixes will afford the amusement next Saturday evening. It will be a fight between Ones and Threes to break away from the cellar position. ome of the players will find it hard to get time to play the Saturday night games, owing to their work. The public Is invited tc attend the games. No admission is charged. HAROLDS DEFEAT THEJCING TEAM Third Game of Series Results In a Draw.
The bowling contest between the Kings and the Harolds of the Y. M. C. A. league last evening was won by the Harolds. In the third game a tie resulted.

It was believed by him that the result of the elections in Grant and Howard county yesterday will have much influence with the legislature in keeping the count! local option law on the statute booksj He was consequently much pkfased with the result of yesterday's elections. HARD 10 BELIEVE . BUT REALLY TRUE Improvements at the City Engineer's Office. Yes, it is really true the city engineer's office is to be improved by new wall paper. When Engineer Charles was told that the board was "will in'," he almost spoiled a blue print and broke the point off his ruling pen, the news was so surprising. But it's a fact, and the office furniture is being shifted about now so the paper hangers may take possession. OLD OHIO RIVER IS E Much Damage Is Done and a Flood Is Probable.

DGflTBODY GETS' FEVER. Former Chicago Star Plans to Become Professional Marathoner. James D. Lightbody, the former University of Chicago track star, who won international reputation in the Olympic games held in St. Louis in 1904, in Athens, Greece, in 1906, and in London in 1908, who is now visiting relatives In Berlin, Germany, has written friends in this country that he will return in the summer and start training for Marathon races. Lightbody evidently has heard of the success that Dorando, the Italian; Longboat, the Indian; Hayes, the American, who won the Marathon race at London last summer, and Corey, JAKES LIGHTBODY. WHO IS TO TCBX PROFESSIONAL. who recently turned professional, are having in this country, and he intends to return as soon as possible and try his hand at the professional end of the game. The former Chicago star has never run the Marathon distance, but there is little doubt in the minds of those who have seen him in competition that he could easily condition himself for the long grind. Lightbody has a world of endurance, and it was a simple matter for him to run two or three races in an afternoon against a good field. Since the Olympic games in London last summer Lightbody has been touring Europe competing in various cities and winning his races handily. Those who watched his work in the big games last summer claim that he was clearly out of condition and had not trained faithfully for the games. These statements are borne out by the fact that the fleet footed runner has won the majority of his races since the Olympics and on numerous occasions has competed on successive days. Preferred to Stay Awake. It was the late bishop of London, Dr. Crelghton, and Lord Rosebery. Lord Rosebery complained to the bishop of want of sleep, to which the bishop replied that he never suffered from Insomnia. The earl observed that he wished to know the remedy. The bishop's formula was very simple. If he felt drowsy he started to write a sermon, and In a few moments he was wide awake. On the other hand. If he wanted sleep all he had to do was to start to read a sermon. Then sleep came in a few seconds. Lord Rosebery replied that It was his practice to choose the lesser evil and he preferred want of sleep to reading ser-

GREAT, SHIPS' YESTERDAY PAID BUT SMALL HEED TO THE STORM THAT RAGED OVER HAMPTON ROADS. Richmond, Va., Feb. 24. Graceful homage was paid by the south yesterday to the globe girdling American battleship fleet in this old capital of the confederacy. "We welcome you to the hearts of a people who yield to no one in devotion to the American navy nor in loyalty to 'our' flag." This sentiment, feelingly expressed at a luncheon in the Jefferson hotel this afternoon by Mayor Richardson in welcoming Rear Admiral Sperry, Rear Admiral Wainwright, and fiftyfour officers under the former's command to this city, found echo in the words of gallant Sperry, who said: "On the world's cruise I have had about me a splendid corps of officers. In my personal staff of seven men, six of them are commonly known in the ships as 'arrant' rebels. Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, all are represented among my personal aids, while my own state of Connecticut is left out entirely. With these men at the wheel is it any wonder that we have got here and have got here on time?" Sperry Tells Trip's Lessons. Rear Admiral Sperry pointed out that the voyage around the world was no junket. '"While we have been encircling the globe," he said, " we have doubled the score of last year's target practice. The fleet's efficiency has increased 25 per cent by economy of coal consumption, due to hard and faithful work of the men below decks. When a contest comes a navy must know how to get there and how to stay there when it gets there. "Now that the world is governed by the people it is not sufficient that a solitary abitrary ruler should know on paper the possibilities of a contest. And since the people generally are only impressed by what they- see, it is necessary, if you desire the peace of the world, that you show your fleet." The bad weather which greeted the battleship fleet yesterday, the worst they have experienced in any porij visited: on thir way around the world, continued today. During the afternoon a stiff southeastern set in, driving a stinging rain before it. Ships Are Being Coaled. Hampton Roads seemed fairly choked with fighting craft today. The two long lines of the combined squadrons of Rear Admirals Sperry and Arnold stretched away from the dock almost as far as the eye could reach. 1 Nearly half of the ships began coaling in spite of the weather. It is hoped that the last of the ships will have been coaled by Saturday in order that the man may parade in Norfolk on that day. They will be the city's guests. This will be the first shore leave the men will have. They are being kept aboard ship now in anticipation of an inspection ol each ship by Rear Admiral Sperry and an inspection board. The battleship Vermont was still in quarantine today. A case of smallpox developed on board. The sick man was taken to the naval hospital at Norfolk today, and most of the officers and members of the crew have been vaccinated anew. The men have been restricted to the ship. One of the most interesting sights today was the departure of a large number of enlisted men, whose terms of service had expired. As they left the side of the vessels they were given usty cheers by the salors. Negro boys and porters loitering about the dock reaped a harvest from the home going sailors, who, disdaining to carry their own satchels and bundles, handed them over to the boys to be taken to the railroad station or trolley cars. SLIGHT ACCIDENT AT POWER PLANT L. H. & P. Company Had Trouble Last Night. Owing to a wire of the exciter, one of the electrip.l machines at the Light. Heat and Power plant breaking and a piece of the machine blowing out, patrons of the Light, Heat and Power company, had to do without lights for a while last evening.

STATE CAPITAL IS STORMEDBY WOMEN Amazon Army Demands Vote From the Massachusetts Legislature. TWO BIG MEETINGS HELD GROUNDS ON BEACON HILL OVERFLOWED YESTERDAY BY SUFFRAGE SEEKERS AND THE SCENE WAS EXCITING ONE. Boston, Mass., Feb. 24. Never before have the women of Massachusetts advanced on the statehouse for any cause in such numbers as did 1,200 or more who yesterday crowded the hearing room, thronged the great steps, and finally marched in triumph to the common in order that they might convince the legislators of the need of suffrage for them. The subject is annually discussed at the capitol and the accompanying hearing is tho most largely attended of the year, but nothing in history gave any one reason to expect such an unprecedented demonstration. There was the enthusiasm of the English suffragettes without the disorder commonly reported as incident to their campaign. All Ages and All Classes. The women, who were representatives of every position and whose ages ranged from maiden to grandmother, marched up Beacon hill from all sides and, either by tlxeir presence or their utterances, claimed the right of the ballot. Excluded from the hearing room, whose four walls could nold not more than 500 of the earliest on hand, another 700 took up their places on the wide steps outside and cheered the words of their elonuent leaders. In fact, the latter assemblage was a double overflow meeting for two speakers at the same time divided the crowd between them, as it were, and spoke simultaneously without interfering with each other. This the patient sergeant at arms suffered them to do for nearly two hours, but finally ordered the police to disperse them. The suffragists, not a white dismayed, proceeded to the common, and there, with the sanction of the mayor, ' held an outdoor rally of remarkable proportions. TWO WORKMEN ARE INSTANTLY KILLED Are Electrocuted in East River Tunnel. New York. Feb. 24. Two workmen.
