Wrong Kind of Hero.
The report declares that the game has
rec ched a point where il sets up a wrong
kind of hero, that there Is no such thing
as generosity between combatants any more
than in war and that all the evils of foot
ball have descended into the secondary
schools, where they arc working great
moral mischief. Regarded as a combat
between highly trained men," says the re-
port the prize ring has great advantages
over the foot ball field, for the rules of the
prize ring are more humane than those Of
foot ball and they can be, and often are
strictly enforced. In the fight in a prize
ring between two men facing, each Is per-
tectly visible. so that there are no secret
denominations as in foot ball Yet prize
fsEting is illegal"
Too Many Men Hart.
Continuing, the report declares that foot
bail causes an unreasonable number of
serious injuries and deaths, of which the
public has been kept ignorant concerning
the number and gravity of these injuries;
that many of the serious injuries are OF
such nature that in all probability they
never can be perfectly repaired; that vio-
latlons of rules of the game by coaches
trainers and players are highly profitable
and are constantly perpetrated by all par
ties. and that acts of brutality are con-

OAKLAND, July 14.-Her mind
wrecked by overstudy and consequent
nervous disorder, Miss Marguerite
Boarman, Is years old, a talented
graduate of the Alameda High School,
made daring leap for liberty today
in Superior Judge Ellsworth's court,
where She had been committed to the
State Hospital at Stockton.
Just as the order was made the de-
mented girl rushed to the lobby rail
and with remarkable agility jumped
over the obstruction and ran out of the
courtroom. Deputy Sheriff Bert
Brown quickly followed and captured
the fleeing girl. Returning to the
courtroom Miss Boarman became ex-
tremely restless and exhibited much
evidence of disordered mentality.
The girl resided with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas NJ. Boarman, at
602 Taylor avenue, Alameda. She had
been stenographer in San Francisco,
and in addition had studied hard at
school. She was exceptionally bright,
lipguist and cultivated in many
branches. but the strain was too much

one is sufficient now.
