Turk" was going to his awful death
on the Inflated La Bourgogne, Charlie
Wittmer, the famous wrestler Of this
city, had a narrow escape from death
June 4, Yousouf and Wittmer wrestled
a draw in the Walnut Street theater
of this city. July 4, just a month later,
Yousouf was lost in the wreck, and
about the same time Wittmer had to
jump for his life.
The big wrestler Is employed by the
Cincinnati Consolidated Street Railroad
company. In the repair house near the
Elm street incline is, or rather was, a
big fly wheel that was kept in re-
serve. This fly wheel broke loose from
its fastening and came down at ter
rible rate of speed. Wittmer was right
in It's path. He had just time to hear
the warming of a fellow workman and
jump on one side. Had the wheel
struck him 1t would have meant IN
slant death.
The death of Yousouf leaves Charlie

CORNELL AND COURTNEY.
Coach Has Troubles to Settle, but
Has Not Resigned.

Coach Has Troubles to Settle, but
Has Not Resigned.
ITHACA, N. Y, July "A sort Of
danper was placed on the Cornell
crew celebration on Monday night by
persistent rumors that Coach Court
ney had resigned. Courtney has not
resigned, but it is nevertheless fact
that there has been trouble of seri-
Gus nature between the "old man"
and a member Of the athletic council
which at one time threatened to make
the rupture certain. It was brought
about by some mischief maker mis-
quoting Prof. Wheeler. The professor,
when asked at New London what the
reason for the freshmen being beaten
was, remarked that there must have
been something the matter with the
boat. Some one promptly reported to
Courtney that Prof. Wheeler had said
that he Courtney had rugged the
boat wrong. Courtney, naturally very
nervous and wrought up to an intense
degree over the strain Of getting the
boys in shape, was at once very in
dignant and declared then and there
that he was through with coaching,
and after the race gave orders to have
his effects packed, as he would not go
to Saratoga, but was going to Boston,.
The cause of the trouble reached the
ears Of Capt. Colson and other crew
men, and they pleaded with the "old
man" until he finally consented to go
to Saratoga. While there Prof. Wheel
er and Courtney had a talk, and the
former at once and emphatically de-
race the coach told the boys that if
they won he would not return to
Ithaca, and If they lost he would re-
turn with them.
When Courtney was seen by a news
paper representative he was feeling in
the best of spirits. He declined point
blank to talk on the subject Of the
trouble. 1t was evident, though, that
there was something else the matter,
and from what the representative
could learn 1t Is because of the fact
that against Courtney's advice two
races were arranged this year, one at
New London and the other at Sara
toga. 1t is because. Of an idea that
the same thing will be done next year
that Courtney feels that he must take
stand now and that if races are ar
ranged against his advice and judg
ment the crews must be trained by
some one else. The fact that the folly
Of rowing two races has been too clear
ly demonstrated to be repeated re-
moves one Of the main causes of the
coach's displeasure. Courtney's re-
gard for Cornell has been proved time
and again in the refusal of tempting
offers to train other college crews, and
the regard in which he Is held by
Comedians is shown by the growing
Courtney testimonial fund.-" which
has now passed the $4,000 mark. There
are few other minor disturbances,
which will all come out in the wash,
but when the whole matter is aired
it will be clearly demonstrated that
Courtney holds his own.

STICKING TO THE LEAD.
The st. Paul Team Puts In a Strong
Weeks Work.

The st. Paul team has just ended its hard
est weeks play since it became member OF
