His mother, who was at the WINDOW
but who, it is said. did not see the ac-

carried to the parlor, his face covered
with blood. Numerous automoolles
drew up when it was learned that the
lad had been run down.
Col Symons stopped his car, and jump

Symons. ''and seemed all right, with the

street northwest, who was going in an
automobile to Chevy Chase, was stopped
i'll the road by the jam OF cars. He
went to the home of the injured boy to
see if he could be of any service.

was crowded he offered to convey the
lad to a hospital. The boys parents,
realizing that he was seriously injured
had the lad removed to the automobile

yard pay office as chief carpenter, who
claims to have been an eyewitness to
the accident, told the police that he was
in his automobile and saw the boy run
out into the road in front of Col Sy-
mons car, which ran over him. Col
Symons denied last night that his ma

unavoidable.
The boys mother remained at the bed

Shad Link to Meet Al Maupaus Fri.
day Night.

Friday night, at the Gayety Thea
ter, Shad Link. heavyweight champion
Of the South. will meet Al Maupaus,
light heavyweight champion Of Canada.
As there is intense rivalry between
these mat artists, an interesting bout
is assured. The last time they met Link
was used rather roughly by the audi
ence, as he defeated the Canadian in
his home town, but as their difference is
now patched up a repetition Of that af-
fair is impossible.
Maupaus would not sign agreements
until Il suitable purse was offered, but
as George Peck. manager Of the Gayety
Theater offered a purse Of $3.50 he lost
no time in signing the articles.
Pat O'Connor, the well-known Wash
ington sportsman, will referee the bout.
