: INTO MANS NECK
IN FENCING BOUT
DR.. Adams Nearly Kills In
structor of New York
Athletic Club.

There was too much realism to suit
either contestant in a fencing match at
the New York Athletic Club last
Wednesday when DR. Calvin r Adams,
of No. "a East Thirty-third street, ran
his foil through the throat of Robert
Miller, fencing master of. the club Mil
Ter was back at the club to-day with
his throat done up in bandagrs and
quite thankful that the thrust did not
sever the jugular vein.
DR.. Adams, a giant in strength and a
fencing enthusiast. has had many a
bout with the foils with Miller. They
were alone in the fencing rooms late
Wednesday afternoon. engaged in a ter
rife contest. when DIR. Adams made a
powerful unge. The tip of his foil
caught the guard OF MiIler's weapon
and the button and bit of the blade
snapped of, leaving splintered point.
The force of the thrust was such that
the DOCTORS weapon passed beneath
Millers mask and the jagged point en-
tered his throat. passed clear through
and showed through the flesh at the
back.
The wound was on the left side OF
the neck and just missed the great
veins Miller fell, and in falling dragged
the foil from DR.. Adamss hand.
For a moment the physician stood
Mortified, There was no one else in the
room Then the trained nerve of the
mad OF medicine returned and he
stopped over the wounded man and
yanked the blade from Millers neck.
DIR. Adams picked Miller up and car
ried him to a Mushroom where the
wouiicA was washed and dressed At no
time did Miller entirely lose conscious
ness There was danger that a fatal
result might spShe at the start had not
DIR. Adams been right on the ground
with his skill and dizziness.
Miller is in perfect health and very
strong. His great physical condition
contributed 10 his quick recovery. Here
after, when he is fencing with DIR.
Adams lie will wear some protection
about his neck.
Dr. Adams Is member Of the Auto
and Aero Clubs and was a former
president OF the Revolver Club. In 1900
he scored record for a long distance
dive under water, his record being 2l9
feet. He Is an athlete Of ability and a
lover Of outdoor sports
