FORMER AMHERST CATCHER
LOOKS LIKE A GOMEZ
John Henry Shines at First Bag With
Washington Squad.

John Henry the former Amherst
catcher, gets the following praise from
the Washington Star baseball expert:
sHenry's playing at first base proves
that this youngster has the mgNing
of one of the cteverest first basemen
in the American league. The fact
that Henry was pitted against col
lege team does not detract in the least
from his splendid work. He f1elded' his
position as il he had played 1t for
years, and. what is more, he played it
inteiigently. He showed remarkable
speed in moving in for bunts, caught
all sorts of throws and was full of
action about the bag One could not
refrain from enthusing over his COED
work. 1t warrants the prediction that
regardless of what Somerlot or Leli-
welt may accomplish, McAleer has =
coming star In Henry for that posi-
ton. And what a difference there 10
in his hitting. He steps to the plate
now, full of determination; no longer
takes q weak stab at the hail. but a
hard swing. which sends the bail to
the outfeld on line. The first time
up today he drove q liner to the right
field for a clean single, and in the
seventh inning he drove to right CEN
ter on a line. The right fielder went
over and knocked the ball down and
made perfect throw to second. The
ball had Henry beaten by two steps
but like Cobb he got away from the
basenAn with q fadeaway- slide and
was declared safe. This proved, too,
that Henry is going to learn to run
bases.

HARVARD ATHLETICS

YaIe's Football Season Cost About
$500 Per Man.

A comparison of the cost of ath-
letics at both Harvard and Yale is
interesting. Last year it cost the
Cambridge university $127,945 to run
athletics, or about S425 q day fer the
ten months through which the col
lege season lasts. The football exY
penditures were approximately $4,000,
an average of about $1,000 a. man to
the squad of 81 players. Track ath-
letics cost sS.99z.s0. baseball $11.177.31,

At Yale the approximate for main
tanning football was $4,000. 1t meant

pionship'' game as the contests with
Harvard and Princeton at New Haven
are called, $500 WAS expended. On
baseball, which returns q net profit
of $5.769. Yale put out a total of

Abe has an excellent muscle de-

He was shocked at the exhibition of

Blaze Destroys Momauguin On
 East Haven Shore

New Haven, July 2s-Momauguin, the we'll known Connecticut summer resort, situated on the east Long Isl- and Sound shore a few miles from New Haven, was destroyed by fire early this morning
 Fire breaking out around one o'clock in the Momauguin hotel threatened one time to sweep the entire beach and summer colony and made one of the most spectaular pictures that has ever been seen along the shore within the vicinity of New Haven. The flames at the time of their discovery were already enveloping the big, ho- tel, built of wood, and that was doom- ed from the very start. Sweeping around from the water side, the flames then attacked the big skating pavilion and dancing hall of Franklyn W. Hoyt, which adjoins it and these were soon mass of flames and beyond help and the cottage of William B. Hall, the furniture dealer, which is next in line, was also in flames and doomed.
 Starting in the kitchen of the Mo- mauguin (Callahan's) Hotel, the flames swept the big wooden structure When it looked as if the fire would sweep the entire waterfront with it's beautiful summer places, the wind veered and gave the volunteer bucket brigade chance to flood the danger zone with salt water The East Ha- ven, New Haven and Branford fire fighters arrived too late to be of ser vice. Proprietor R. V. Callahan and his wife had narrow escapes in quit ting the blazing hotel
 About 200 resorters were reused from their beds in flimsy attire Early es- inmates place the fire loss at $30,0O0.
 The exact cause of the fire was in doubt, today. MT. Callahan suggested that it was set by an incendiary Hoyt said that it must have started in the kitchen but Callahan denied that his range had night fire. Also the the ory of crossed electric wires was ad- vanced.
 Later estimates placed the loss at least $50, 1000. The main losers were earning good percentage on a $100,- GOO investment although this sum was said to exceed greatly their original investment. There was little or no insurance.

 KILLS BROKER
 FOR PALTRY SUM
Especial from United Press.)

New York, July 2S-Cowering in his cell at police headquarters, Paul Geid el, F years old youth, alternately wept saved from the electric chair Mean while the machinery of the law was set in rapid motion to make an eX- ample of the murderous bellboy who admits killing aged William Henry Jackson. Wall street speculator. and gentle, kind old man, for the paltry sum of $6.75 and a gold watch which he later pawned for SIS
 Patrick NcGrane. to whom Geidel told the story of the crime and who accompanied him to the pawnshop to pledge the watch, is held as an ac- complice and the police are inclined. today, to believe he stood guard while Geidel broke into the room and beat his victim to death
 In confessing, Geidel, according to the police, thought he would get a large sum of money. He had been discharged from his position as bell boy in the Iroquois and was broke. He secured a bottle of chloroform and en- tered Jackson's suite through the bath room window.
 "The light was shining in the room" said Geidel, ''and I could see through the crack in the door that MT. Jack son was listening. I sneaked in softly. I had washrag soaked with the chloroform and slapped it quickly over his mouth He gave me a desperate fight. He was screaming and I hit him as hard as I could. Then ram med the washrag down his throat. Then I went through his pockets and got his money and his watch and chain. Before I could break open the trunk I heard someone coming. l climbed back through the window. sneaked down to the basement and out.
 T didn't want anybody to see me as my clothes were covered with blood. :" j The arrest of Geidel and McGrane followed quickly on the tracing of the bottle which had contained the chloro- form to Mrs. Edward Kane, who kept the boarding house where the pair liv- ed. Mrs Kane and her husband are held as material witnesses. She told the detectives that she bought the chloroform to kill a dog and did not know that Geidel had stolen it from the bathroom:
 Geidel and McGrane, after telling all they knew of the crime. were looked over'' by the detectives, today, and later held without bail for the coroner.
 Deputy Police Commissioner Dough- erty said that when he had interviews ed Geidel, today, he told him that he had planned the robbery in order that he might send money to his widowed mother, who lives with another child, daughter, at Pennington, Conn.
 Hartford, July 2S-Paul Geidel and Patrick J. McGrane the two young men held in connection with the mur- der of Broker William Jackson at the Iroquois Hotel, New York, belong in this city. Geidel started his career as a bellboy in a local hotel when he was IA years of age. He left here . year ago last January and was re- ported working at various metropolis tan hotels.
