THE $4,000
WINNING
AUTO BURNS

Hampstead. N Y, oct. 16.-While over
200 people were watching today the over
hauling OF Hemerys Darrack automobile
that won the first honors for the Wander
bilt cup yesterday at his headquarters OF
the Glenwood hotel. one of the spectators
thoughtlessly threw either a cigar or
match on the oil and gasolne-soaked
ground near the car.
Almost instantly there was n fash and
within n few seconds the ground was
ablaze all about the swift car, which, II Is
understood. had been purchased after the
race yesterday by a party for Frenchmen
for $4,000.
The car was on a platform in the yard
outside the hotel barn where IL has been
daily overhauled for the past two weeks.
IL has been oiled daily and much oil had
dropped 10 the ground and also consdera-
BILE gasoline.
Hemery his machinist, and dozens OF
the spectators ran n.various directions
for means 10 extinguish the flames. Sand
and earth were obtained I'm buckets from
the shores OF Long Island Sound, few
yards away and the fire extinguishers
were also turned on the flames without
the least effect. A hose was then used
without result.
For is minutes the crowd did everything
possible TO extinguish the flames. and then
someone shouted that the gasoline tank
was about TO explode and all ran In every
direction. This was. however untrue, for
the stopper had dropped out OF the tank
and all the gasoline had run out on the
ground beneath the machine and added TO
the flames.
When the flames had died out II was
found that every portion of the wood
about the car was burned to ashes. The
cushions were likewise burned and many
OF the small parts OF the machine and
the pipes were so twisted by the heat that
they were useless and worthless. Parts
OF the engine may be used, but this cannot
yet be determined.
Hemery and his assistants were almost
heartbroken after the fre and were con-
siderably burned I'm trying TO extingush
the flames.
At one time the flames rose so high that
the hotel was in danger OF burning A
hose played on the roof and sides, how
ever. avoided this.
Some we'll known Americans visited the
quarters OF Lancia. who was first In Sat-
urday's race until his accident In the last
lap. They offered $4,000 for his car, which
was accepted.
Nazarro was also offered similar
amount and also sold his car. Both men
are members OF the italian team. They
leave several OF their machinsts behind
to thoroughly overhaul their cars for their
new purchasers. whose names they refuse

NUDE ON
FREIGHT CAR

Yonkers n. Y, oct. 15.-Dr. Arthur St
clair Knudsen. a prominent member Of
the City, Harvard and Seawanhaka Yacht
clubs OF New York was found on top of
a freight car at Yonk,rs this morning
perfectly nude and so dazed that he did
not know where he was
lie was turned over to a policeman by
the conductor of the train and hurried to
ST. Joseph's hospital, where he soon re-
vived under treatment.
DR. knudsen's talk was very disjointed.
but from the various fragments IL was
learned that on Saturday evening he dined
al the city club with some friends. Leav-
ing there he walked up Broadway, when
feeling OF extreme fear overlook him
He started TO walk more rapidly and
finally broke into run, his only thought
being 20 move rapidly.
Finding that this did not satisfy his
feelings he took a cab and rode TO one
Hundred and Forty-ffth street, where he
saws he took a train for Highbridge.
There he took to the road again and ran.
Feeling that his clothing was oppress-
ing him and holding him back, he says.
he remembers removing II and starting 10
climb over freight train. That was the
last he remembered until he was re-
vived at the hospital
Meanwhile the clothing had been found
and when DR. Knudsens mind became
clear enough 10 tell the above story word
was telephoned 10 New York, and the
Identity OF the owner established.
AS soon as DR. Knudsen's condition was
telephoned To the City club. Williams +.
Wilbur. his attorney, and DIR. II. Satterlee,
n friend came at once 10 Yonkers ana
took charge Of the young man.
They left here last evening for New
York. taking DIR. Knudsen with them'
II was learned here that Or. knudsen Is
a very wealthy man and has but recently
returned from Japan. His friends denied
that Or. Knudsen was addicted TO the
use OF any drugs
DR.. Knudsen had not fully recovered
from his experience when ne was taken
away last night He was not injured
I'm any way and had apparently suffered
no ill-effects from his spectacular ride In
the early morning.

GAME FIT
FOR THUGS

Washington, Oct. l6-President Buel OF
Georgetown university. in a circular let
ter addressed to the alumni and friends
OF the university. which was brought
forth by an apparent misunderstanding
OF the facultys recent order for the puri-
hcation OF athletics at the college. states
emphatically that there was no intention
discourage clean. amateur contests. and
the stand taken was with the object only
OF barring professionalism and brutality
In football and other games. In the cir
cular President Buel says:
THE American college game OF foot
ball Is. when played strictly according
To the rules. a strenuous and rough con-
test Bones may be broken. serious
strains sustained and the bodily stamina
severely taxed.
But, In addition 10 this. there is n
system OF football tactics I'm vogue among
some OF our oldest and most influential
universities which can only excite horror
and reprobation among honorable gentle
men.
Some OF the oldest and most respected
football coaches instruct their teams TO
iniure the most capable players on the
opposing teams. so that they cannot con-
tinue to play.
This il a fact well known TO the inner
circles of football coaches and players
and can easily be substantiated by Civ
ing names, dates and places Some in
stances which have come TO the writer's
personal knowledge from trustworthy eye
witnesses may be added
The circular goes on to relate. with
out giving names. three or four instances
where players have been deliberately and
brutaily injured so as 10 put them out
OF the game.
During the present season one MEM
ber Of the Georgetown team has been bit
ten in the ear and another in the breast.
The game as thus played today is NJ
only for thugs.
Its ethics are more detestsble than
those OF the prize ring; there 1t is not
allowed 10 strike below the belt: the con-
test is between man and man IL Is not
permitted TO strike a man when he Is
down.
THE ethics OF football tactics, as taught
by some OF the best coaches. are TO strike
i'm the most vulnerable parts Of the body,
10 use as many men as possible TO strike
the man singled out for injury. to strike
and fouly inJure the man when he is
down and pinioned 10 the earth by those
who have thrown themselves on him.
"Only young men OF brutal instincts
can force themselves TO such conduct.
Hence. as recently stated In an editorial
Of well-known Washington paper. In
every college In the country men are hired
for tui,.on. board, lodging or other COM
pensation to play on the various football
teams"

Pain in the
Head

Is a danger signal, warning
you that the brain nerves are
exhausted-irritated, and are
undergoing an unnatural strain.
Frequent and prolonged at
tacks of pain weaken the gen.
crative power of the nerve
cells of the brain, and lead TO
loss of memory, melancholy,
spasms. epilepsy, and frequent
= iy insanity.
When the brain nerves are
weakened they are unable to
supply sufficient nerve force
TO the nerves that control the
lungs, heart. stomach and
other organs, and these organs
are thus robbed OF energy, and
unable TO meet the demands
upon them, and they get sick.
