SWALLOWS HIS GOLD TOOTH.
Brokers Mishap While in Wheat Pit
Nearly Proves Fatal

CHICAGO. III. October 20.-W. o.
Mumford. a broker. who guped down
gold tooth out of his jaw during an ex-
citing period of trading in the wheat pit,
is pronounced all right by three physi-
clans. but he must keep away from the
grain pits for a time.
Mumford was in the midst of the clos
ing excitement in the wheat pit. All
the noise he was making with his fingers
until he had occasion to open his mouth
to laugh Suddenly his laugh turned to a
painful mumbling. His mouth remained
wide open and he gasped for breath. His
friends looked into Mumfords mouth
and saw gold tooth lodged in the
thoraX They hurried him to the offices
OF physicians in the Postal building. The
run for the doctor dislodged the gold
tooth and Mumford swallowed it,
m all right now Mumford told the
doctors. Il can live with that gold tooth
in my stomach, but il almost got me
while in my throat"

long drawn-out drill with the tackling

while the second string backs were with
the blues. The difference I'm the speed of
hardly responsible for the showing Of the
blues this week.
IL was noticed that O'Rourke and
Munns were back in the varsity lineup
at guard. Muns has been relocated to
the blue team for several days and has
been given what may be a last chance
10 make the place. Munns proved su-
perior. however. and IL now looks as If
both Hale and Delano would get no Eur
Their than subs this year. Eddie Butler
and Underhil have apparently gotten
back into shape and will probably be in
the lineup on Saturday, but Capt Bill
Munk. who hobbled out on the field yes
terday afternoon. has no chance. Munk
donned the tOgs. but found in a very short
time that his leg wouldn't stand the
work, and by Reeds orders he is to go
easy until after the Pittsburgh game on
