 But Marto is one of those scrap pers who can take any kind of @ waIIoping and come back, and in the eighth round he succeeded in landing one of those terrific right handlers that he was arnbitious1y throwing over throughout the contest. It Iand- ed over Abe's left eye and opened a gash which made Able look unIovely during the succeeding rounds. This was the only round in which AIartd had an advantage.

DOCTORS DISPUTE
Mayor Ga, nOr's Condition In Doubt
For And Against Operating

Doctors in attendance upon Mayor
Gaynor, of New York, are already
disputing the nature of his wounds,
and the probable outcome. Some are
for and some against operating.
Yet from information gathered un-
officially from the physicians who
were at the Mayors bedside yester-
day it appeared that last nights con-
sultation was perhaps the most i'm
portant that had occurerd since
Mayor Gaynor first became patient
at the hospital. The announcement
in the bulletin concerning new
photographic examination touched
upon situation in the medical as
poets of Mayor Gaynor's case which
did not become public until the
vaguest rumors of it seeped out of the
corridors of st. Mary's earlier in the
afternoon.
What the physicians call in their
bulletin completed photographic ex-
animation is really new examina-
tion, so it was learned from an author
itative source yesterday afternoon,
which was forced by the fact that
from the X-ray plates taken on Tues
day the physicians in attendance upon
the Mayor were not able to fix the
situation of the bullet within half an
inch of eXactness in the lateral
plane" This means that although
the bullets position in reference to
the vertical territory shown in the
X-ray photograph was determined,
there still remains a broad latitude
of doubt as to the position laterally.
There was we'll founded report
current Yesterday that division of
opinion among the six experts in at
tendance upon the Mayor had ariser
out of the very fact of this indefi
niteness in the situation of the bullet.
Some were in favor of an immediate
operation to extract the bullet, will
his imperfect photograph as guide
others insisted that it would be rasi
to make the attempt with the un
favorable conditions in the radiograpt
as they were.
Mayor Gaynor's secretary said yes
terday that if the Mayor continues to
improve as he has the physicians be
lieve that he will be be able to leav
the hospital inside of two weeks.

VACANCY IN FACULTY
ST. Johns To Have New Head OF English
Department

Through the resignation Of Prof.
Royal j. Davis, who for four years
has held the chair of English at st.
Johns College, but recently has en-
tered newspaper work in New York,
there has occurred vacancy that
must be filled before the reopening of
st. Johns College. the middle of
next month.
1t is understood, unofficially, that
there have already been several ap-
plications for the position, although
the Board of Visitors and the Faculty
have, as yet. taken no official action.
Among those whose names are being
presened, and whose appointment is
being urged, is the Rev. Scott Kidder,
clergyman of deep learning, of
broad knowledge and wide experience
who is fine English scholar.
Mr.. Kidder is now rector of Severn
Parish at Millersville. He is well
known in Annapolis where he has off,
ciated at church services at St.
Anne's and preached Lenten sermons
there, as we'll as having conducted a
most successful mission during the Ad-
vent season. He is graduate of
Columbia University, New York, and
in pedagogy at Philadelphia, and was
for some years, it is under TODD, a
successful teacher. He is an ducator
of the highest type and his eppoint-
ment to the chair of English at St.
Johns College would mean a great
deal for the college, as his w.rk with
young men has always been most sue
cessful. Too much care cannot be
given to the choice of a man for the
vacant position, as St. Johns is an
nually in the oratorical contest with
other colleges, including Western
Maryland, Maryland Agricultural i
Washington Colleges, and must look
to her honors, besides English is a
most important departme mt in any in
stitution of learning.
The Rev. Scott Kidder would be
the right man in the right place, and
the Capital hopes to see his appoint
ment to the chair of English at St.
Johns College. Mr.. Kidder is now in
Bermuda, where he is canon resi-
dentiary of the Cathedral
