Death From lmaain.tion.


 How faith may kill as well as cure Is shown by one of the cases men, toned by Dr. Charles Reinhardt in Faith. Medicine and the Mind" A convicted murderer had been handed over to the physiologists for the ptsr- pose of an experiment. He was told that his hour had come and that it had been decided that he should be bled to death. His eyes were bandaged, and he was pinioned, opportunity first having been given him to see the Formidable array of surgical instru- ments, the vessels to catch the blood and the other terror inspiring para phernalia of the vivisector's laboratory. A blunt instrument was now drawn sharply across his throat And stream of warm water was made to trickle from his neck into a vessel below the operating table upon which he lay. After awhile the sounds. which had previously been continuous and near at hand, were gradually reduced until the patient, doubtless supposing that he was bleeding to death. gradually lost consciousness, fainted and ex- pired.

Dr. Roller Fails
 To Throw Samson

Dr. Roller, the Seattle wrestling physician, blew" his $500 bank roll at Harlem Casino, New York, last night when he failed to throw Paul Samson, the gigantic wrestler, once in an hour. Roller had bet $500 that he could down Samson twice in one hour, but at the end of a sixty-min- ute struggle on the mat Samson was about as far from being flattened as he was before the match began.
 Samson weighed about 275 or 300 pounds, outweighing his adversary by nearly 100 pounds The physician was by far the cleverer, and succeed ed in getting numerous holds on Paul with which he put him to the mat, but he could not retain these holds long enough to put Samson's should CTS to the mat The men wrestled catch-as-catch-can style.
 In the other match of the evening Ivan Romanoff threw August Faust twice at Graeco- Roman style Ro- manoff got the first fall in six min utes and forty seconds, and the sec ond in five minutes and forty seconds. He gained both falls by half-nelson holds.

Howe Suffering
 From Pain in Head
Yale Captain Complains of Diz- ziness When Playing Foot
 ball and Coaches Worry

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 24.-That Capt. Arthur Howe is not suffering from a cold, as was given out at West Point, but has some trouble with his head, became known yesterday. The trouble is situated just above his nose, and he has had it several times before. It prevents him from playing football and makes him dizzy. He is expected to fully recover from it before this week is over, but will be in little practice before the Yale Harvard and Yale-Princeton games. Capt. Daly had a similar complaint last year. but it did not prevent him from playing in the final games.
 George Foster Sanford of New York assumed charge of the Yale squad. He had all the line men down at one end of the field and gave them a. heart to heart talk which lasted about an hour. He demonstrated different line plays, and then the scrubs were sent against the third team, which was reinforced by San The scrubs naturally were held for downs, but they were allowed the ball all the time.
 On the scrubs played Dunn, last years freshman halfback, and he played a star game. Doug Domeisler ran alongside of him throughout the scrimmage. coaching him continually. The scrubs finally managed to score.
 Paul Veeder coached Anderson for back field work, but Andersen wasn't in the scrimmage. Baker was in togs for the first time in several weeks and ran around the field. He will probably be in the signal drill today Read passed the ball despite his lame shoulder, and will be in some of the scrimmages this week to see if his shoulder will stand the strain. Be- cause of the scarcity of quarterbacks Win Strout was at the field playing that position for the first time this year. The coaches besides Veeder and Sanford were Wheaton, Adee, Field, Brides and Morris

McCann Signs Up
 Promising Pitcher
'Dick" Tuckey, Brother of Waterbury Twirler, Has Made Great Record in Semi Profess SiOnal Ranks
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)


 Dick Tuckey, who pitched such phenomenal ball for the Frank1ins this season, will wear Bridgeport uni form next season. His work has caused considerable comment around the State. He has pitched winning ball against such fast teams as the Douses, Seymours, Dublins, Clintons, and Guilfords. While in the navy he pitched for the Marine Corps in the Philippine Islands and caused sensa- tion there by his clever work. Tuckey is a younger brother of "Tobasco Tom'' Tuckey, the Waterbury twirler, who formerly twirled for the Boston Ma tionals Bobby Stowe recommended Tuckey to Gene McCann, manager of the Bridgeports, hence his signing up. The figures in the contract are not given out, but neat little sum is anticipated.
 Fred Campbell, who was Tuckey's s battery mate the past season, is due for a great deal of credit for the fine showing made by Tuckey Campbell has held Tuckey up in superb style and any State league manager wouldn't do any harm in giving Camp bell a tryout next season. The latter is a .500 hitter and has a wonderful arm.

 BROWN FORWARD PASSES

Cambridge, Oct. 24-Coach Haughton gave the crimson squad a good drill- ing today in signal and scrimmage work. With Harvarfs first hard game of the season on, Saturday, with Brown University, the work the rest of the week will be thorough.

The scrubs tried several and got away nicesy with two. Smith, who was All-kmerica left end, last year, is back at that end for good. Huntington, center on the scrubs, is so light that ha will be given a try out in an earl5 game, in the back field.

NIn9s QueeF TreseHe or 0ueSft'
 In all probability the king of Daho- mey's present of pipes and loin cloths never reached Buckingham palace. On one occasion, however. Queen Victoria had publicly to accept a gift of quite as embarrassing a nature. This was in 1856, when the king of Siam sent a mission to England. On being present ed to the queen, who received them seated on her throne and wearing her crown, the enVoys crawled from the doors to her majesty's feet on their hands and knees and then each drew a present from the folds of his robes. The first object placed in the queens hands was a silver spittoon.-London Chronicle
