ports of a remarkable sprinter by the

ffths seconds. Furthermore, it is re-
ported that he is to study in an eastern

Sauce For Geese Is Sauce For Gamblers.
Another occurrence of that sort oc-
Cured in Brockton, Mass, several years
ago. Broclkton was matched against
the Fall River (Mass.) team for the
state championship. 1t happened that
both the Boston and Brooklyn teams
of the National league had an 'off" day
on the day of the Brockton-Fan River
game. Brockton rang in" five or six
of the Boston men, and they thought
they had the contest "cinched." When
the Fall River team arrived on the
grounds, however, great was the sur
prise of the Bostonians to see four or
five members of the Brooklyn team
perched on the top of the stage in Fall
River uniforms. 1t is needless to say
that the game from start to finish was
a genuine thriller" BEN TAVIS.
