is absurd. The only difference made to

club, and next spring he went TO New
York in the wholesale deal whereby the
Indianapolis team was sold to John b.

Those who know Francis Wilson are

"Half King does not fatter himself
with the belief that his singing voice is

To put "a high estimate on its quality. One
night during his performance in New
York n German musician In his orchestra
annoyed Wilson greatly by laughing
superciliously at and commenting on his
vocal efforts: In fact his hilarity attracted
general attention from the spectators.
When the curtain fell Wilson sent for the

fine baritone voice by too marked atten-

sumption of wounded pride he exclaimed: (:
Mr. Wilson, you are making most
serious charge. My voice Is quite as good
as yours.

LEGS NOT MUCH MISSED.
A Unique Tournament In Which Railway
Cripples Perform Wonders.

Chicago will have an athletic contest in
June open only to railway employees who
have lost one or both legs. Artificial limbs
make competition possible In numerous
games. The tournament will be under the
auspices of the National Association OF
Railway Crirples, benevolent organiza
tion whose membership Is composed OF
railroad employees who have suffered In
jury.
In previous years the meets have been
held in pittsburg and have been uniformly
successful. Fred T.. Lewis, secretary of the
association, was here last week. He said
the games this eyear would be on more
elaborate and representative scale than be-
fore, as the association is broadening Its
scope An outline Of the programme has
been prt pared, q prominent feature OF
which will be an intercity relay race.
Several teams will with the advent of ia
yorable weather start training for the
event.
Men who have lost both legs below the
knee will be given an opportunity to show
their prowcss in six events. which include
half "a mile bicycle race, 100 yard dash,
standing broad jump, one mile walk,
wrestling contests and sparring bouts.
The events are certainly sufficiently varied
for even the most agile cripple. Some
tender hearted persons may look upon the
contests with horror and imagine such
competition is labored and painful. Com
pctcnt authorities assert that such fears
are groundless. As matter OF fact the
men 10 whom fortune has been unkind en-
ter into the sport with as much zest and
are quite as proud of their skill as any per
fectly formed athlete.
