THE BIGGEST KNIGHT"
so FAR REPORTED
A Georgia "Pythian" Who Tips the
Scales at $40 Pounds and Girts
zr:-,o4-- Tl-ro Inches

The biggest Knight of Pythias in the
world lives at Waycross, Ga. He is W.
T. Brinson, and ne is one of the most
active and earnest workers in the fra
ternity Nor has he dreamed his life
away as a bachelor, but in the presence
Of a handsome young wife and eight hale
and hearty. children, ranging in age from
IS to 3 years, it is quite evident that he
is shirking none Of the duties of an or
binary mans existence. Mrs. Brinson
was a Miss Hart, and weighs only Ills
pounds
Mr.. Brinson balances the scales at SO
pounds, has waist measure Of 80 inches,
and wears No. II shoes. As child he
was not above the average. but at 10
years he weighed something like 2OG
pounds, and since then his weight has
steadily increased.
He has had repeated and magnificent
offers from Northern museums to put
himself on exhibition, but has preferred
to stay at home and run his turpentine
still.
His buggy, his chairs and his bed it
has been necessary to have made espe-
cially to order. Brinson finds it difficult
to arise from a sitting position, but once
upon his feet he is tremendously strong.
For instance. he finds it an easy matter
to lift an ordinary upright piano and
place it on his shoulder.
A short time ago mule ran away near
his store. and. hearing the shouts of his
neighbors, he walked 10 the middle of the
street just as the frightened animal
dashed up. With couple of strides he
was in the middle of the road and had
the mule by the bride. To the conster-
nation Of all the mule came to a violent
stop, falling to his knees.

T. D. Watson and c. A. Washburn.
The original list contained fifty-three
names, but seven were rejected by the
faculty. OF these seven, one is Boothe, a
promising player, who was thought to be
ineligible on account of the limited num-
Der of his studies. This matter is about
to be adjusted, however, with the Bel
mont school, of which he was member,
and he will probably play in the fresh
men game.
Johnny More has definitely decided to
get into the game again, after flirting
with it since practice began, and is now a
candidate for quarterback on the varsity.
Mini was reported as ready to play again,
but he said to-day that he had not decid-
ed what he would do and that it all de-
pended on the coaches whether he played
or not.

Defeats the Constitution in
Going Twice Around Fif
teenth Mile Triangle
COLUMBIA WAS OUT-CLASSED

New York. May 27-In a gamely
contested race the Reliance again led
the way across the finish line, winning
her second victory over the Columbia
and her first over the Constitution.
Two minutes and 81 seconds later the
Constitution finished and the crew
OF the new boat gave her such cheer
as she deserved. The Constitution
had sailed a pluclSy race and had a
right to share in the honors. From the
start to the finish she had fought out
every mile over the 30-mile course,
and on two OF it's legs had actually
outsailed the new boat. a perform
ance which restores her prestige i'm
periled in her disappointing showing
in the drifting match last Saturday,
and makes her a factor to be reck-
oned with in the selection of a cup
defender
The Columbia was, for the day out
classed From the very start she was
never for a moment in the race. While
the Reliance and Constitution were
having It out between themselves all
the way around the course, the former
cup defender was dragging along miles
astern of them, and when the Reliance
sailed across the finish line the Co
lumbia was more than two miles al
most dead to leeward The Reliance
beat her by Is minutes and 81 seconds,
actual sailing time.
The wind held true at nine TO II
knots during the race and favored
none of the racers. The conditions
were ideal for a fair test of the three
boats. and the race was devoid of the
drifting features which marred the
two earlier races.
The course was twice around a 15-
mile triangle and a 12-lmot breeze
was swapping the bunting of the
yachts at the starting line when the
three sleek racers gathered there and
jockeyed for position. Columbia was
dressed in a new suit of sails that set
like a glove.

ACQUITTED Of GODDARD MURDER SYTY-EGHT FLPNI KILLED

Camden, n j., May 27.-Judge Gar
rison placed the case against Robert
Washington, the colored constable who
shot Pugilist Joe Goddard during a
primary election at Dog Corners, Cam
den county, in the jury's hands.
Within half an hour a verdict Of mot
guilty" was returned.
The defense closed its testimony
after hearing two witnesses. Then
Prosecutor Lloyd opened his argument
and said the defense had utterly failed
TO show that the shooting was done
in self-defense. He said the position
of the wound in Goddard's head ut
terly disproved the constable's state
ment of the shooting. He then asked
for a verdict in the second degree, as
the shooting was done in malice, but
was not premeditated.
Attorneys for the defense then elab-
Grated on the theory OF self-defense.
The verdict was received with ex-
pressions of approval and Washington
was quickly surrounded by fellow-con-
stables and others who pressed about
him to offer their congratulations.
