FOURTEEN DEAD.
That Number Killed Playing Foot Ball
This Season.

Fourteen deaths and perhaps many more
not made known have resulted this year
from injuries received in foot ball games
Last year the number was a bit larger
while in 1902 1t was about the same Nearly
all the players whose injuries resulted ia
tally were young and unframed. None of
the famous college elevens lost any of their
men, nor were any noted players perma-
nently crippled this season, although some
were quite badly hurt
OF the serious injuries to college or school
foot ball players all were enabled to recover
in comparatively short time. owing to their
perfect physical condition, due to careful
training under the watchful care Of trainers
and coaches. The first death occurred on
victim died at Lansing, Mich, November %
The ages of the killed ranged from fourteen
to twenty-four years. and all were due to
injuries actually received while playing In a
game. The following is a complete list Of
fatalities,

six-day race. 1t was noticeable at that
time That he was not the Michael of old,
but nervous. excitable and at times fiighty.
After the Zig race he went to Florida to
race, but was intractable refused to train
and soon came north. In the early spring
of this year he was at Sheepshead Bay
loafing. and from there sent out a report
that he was being prosecuted and followed
by detectives. He was sent home by
friends, and was said to be hopelessly out
of the racing game.
Not long afterward he was reported to
be riding in Europe and winning races
Apparently he did well all summer and re-
covered much of his old FORM few
months ago, however, he had to undergo
an operation and have clot of blood re-
moved from his brain. He regained his
strength and was coming to New York to
try and regain his laurelS by defeating
Walthour. His death on shipboard was un-
doubleday traceable to the Injuries re-
ceived in his fall in Berlin. and must be
classed as another fatality of the cycling
track and MichaePs name added to the
list or prominent victims, among whom
were Harry Elkes, John Nelson and Archie
McEachern.
No bicycle racer ever was so popular in
this country as Jimmy Michaels and per-
haps none greater. He was developed as a
rider by "Choppy" Warburton. the English
trainer, who brought him here in the spring
of 1895. when paced races behind tandems
trfplets, "Quads" and sixtets driven by
pedal power were at the height of favor.
michaeiS was then only nineteen years old,
for he was born In 1877, at Aberavon,
Wales: He was a little chap, scarcely more
than five feet in height, with a baby face,
White skin and rosy cheeks. Beside the
other athletes of the cycle tracks he
looked so infantile that the sympathy of
all went out to him. When it developed
that this little fellow was rider of phe-
nomenal speed and staying power he leaped
into favor. AS he was modest in demeanor
ana proverbially reticent. his popularity
grew until 1t became almost a fad
In 1900 Michael was inveigled into horse
racing. He trained for jockeying at Phil
Dwyer's stable in Gravesend and that win
ter went to New Orleans to ride. He had
only a few mounts and was unsuccessful
as Jockey, but he lost the comfortable
sum he had made as premier cyclist. He
returned to the cycle track, but afterward
again essayed the career of jockey, this
liine IN france, but he could not make a
cycle track. From the time he began to
follow the horses Michaels fortunes waned
and his later years were comparatively lean
ones.

last night, and was taken charge of by P.

news of Michaels death to his relatives in
Wales. They will decide whether the body
will be sent back or buried in this country.
Michaefs death was the direct result of
an accident while in Berlin in the summer
