Murray Of the Phillies Sunday.
Chances men have about the most
evenly balanced aggregation in tho

get together properly after months
OF misfortune that would have put an
ordinary team out of the running long
ere this. The Cubs are only three
games behind the leaders, and with

there Is reason to believe that they
can close UP that gap and get n slight
bunch before the final game Is play.

New York Dec 23.-Van Dwight Sheldon. student at New York uni- versity, was shot and killed to-day in the house of Charles Henry Snow dean of the School of Applied Solenca just off the campus It is believed by the young mans friends that ho was killed hy thief who had concealed himself in the cellar.
 The news spread quickly through the university and there was quick outpouring Of teachers and students from the dormitories, Greek letter chapter houses, and professors quar- ters
 Sheldon, who was a member of the sophomore class, and cousin of Dean Snow, lived at the latters home and it was his part of the household work to look after the furnace nre Ife went to the cellar as usual this fore noon to attend to that work. A few minutes later, the members of the family heard 0 struggle downstairs, followed by sheldons cry for help, and then there was the report of a revolver.
 Hannah Miller, the cook. was the first to reach Sheldon. He told her that he had been shot by an Italian with black hair and Q moustache, who had Jumped at him as he entered the cellar. Then the student became un- conscious and remained so until he died, two hours later, in Fordham hospital from the effects of a bullet wound in the abdomen The revolver with which he had been shot was ly- ing beside him.
 Nobody at the Snow house nor about the campus saw the assallant The supposition Is that he was hiding in the cellar waiting for an opportunity to rob the house when Sheldon found and attacked him. None of the fam fly was downstairs when the pistol shot was heard, and in the time re- quired for the cook to get down from the second floor any thief would have had chance to escape.
