train could carry him. AS the train ap-

ball straight toward Farce. He could
MT dodge and the ball struck his left
breast, glanced upward and entered his
left shoulder. Although suffering great
pain he hung on to the truss rod until
The first stop was reached. He then
fell off and was taken care OF by the

Re critical, and he was Immediately sent
