BRICK ELECTED.
Twirler Will Captain Gallaudet's
1912 Ball Team.

At a meeting of the regulars and substi.
tutes Of the Gallaudet College baseball
team yesterday. Vernon Sterling Brick
Of New York, was elected captain of the
1872 ball tossers. Bricks selection to
sway the baseball destinies at the east
side college will no doubt be ratified by
the athletic association at its regular
meeting next week.
The new captain is a Junior, and has
been on the varsity team ever since he
entered college.
He pitched only one intercollegiate
game this season. This was when he
was on the mound in the great game
with Catholic University, when Gallaudet
won to 4.
Later in a game with Mount st.
Joseph's, at Baltimore, he injured his
ankle SO badly that he was forced to
quit the team, and has not played since.
The tow-headed leader is an all-round
athlete. He was captain OF the football
and basketball teams this year.

Tie scheme of uniting all Christian de-

before President Taft yesterday by Rev.
w. Moore EIDE, d. D., Dean OF Worces-
ter. England. He was introduced by Am
bassador Bryce.
The dean pointed out that the United
States was in a fortunate position to
urge world peace, as such suggestions
from European countries might be re-
sented or wrongly interpreted by the
other powers. He suggested. therefore,
that the Christian denominations of this
country make a call to Christians all
over the world to unite in peace de-

fof his playmates. Several days ago
he found a bottle of acid and sam

presumably feeling the necessity of a
brass lining to his stomach for acid
experiments, he proceeded to swal-
low the ancient door key. He shows

BULL AND SNAKE IN BATTLE.

A furious fight apparently took
place the other night in the wild
Australia" Enclosure at the Festival
of Empire at the Crystal palace, for
one of the attendants found a yalu-
able carpet snake dead near a bull,
the reptiles head being completely
smashed. The bull had been bitten
by the snake, but examination
showed Stat it hadnot been poisoned,
although the animal was suffering
from fright.
1t is thought that the snake which
is Is feet long, forced its WAY out
of its house into the stock yard in
which the Australian cattle are kept
There the reptile, which weighed IS
pounds, probably fen foul of the
bull. The bull, afer being bitten,
probably succeededfin trampling on
the snake or battring it with his
head. The snake fould not have pos
sibly escaped inb the grounds be-
