Harry Robinson and DAVID Bangs are
great friends yet they came together on Saturday
night in a manner that neither Of them will soon
forget. They were at the New York Avenue Swim
Sming School, ana Dave had Just made a dive from
the spring. board when Robinson came to the con-
clusion he would "take header down below"
lie did so, and his head came in violent contact
with the head of Bangs, who was trying to bob
up sereney" Robinson's head being the harder,
of course Bangs caput was the more in-
jured. Bangs was stunned by the con-
cussion, and his scalp was quito badly
lacerated, causing the blood to flow freely He
was pulled out of the water and an effort made to
staunoh the blood, but wlthoH success. lie was
finally taken to Dr. Lovejoy's, who rendered the
necessary surgical aid, after which he was re-
moved TO his home. While Mr., Robinson showed
no evidence of injury on Saturday night, he felt
the shock severely yesterday, and II will probably
be some days before either gentleman will be able
TO attend TO business.
