Startling. But Not Tue.

Boston papers chronicle the news that
Gene DeMontrevile is on the fat of his
back with his injured knee incased in a
plaster of paris cast. Well. not to such

ninety-nine yards. beat the circus
champion running horse in a 1OO-yard
dash There is little to indicate from
Dement'S appearance that he will return

a colleague concerning whom little is said
