SAVE BABY
FROM DEATH
in CITY RACE

John Crumlish, aged about IA years
of No. 510- West Fourteenth street be-
came a hero yesterday afternoon and
il is likely that the Carnegie com
mission will be informed Of the boys
brave deed He saved the life OF
Clark Vernon. the four-year-old-son
of Mr.. and Mrs. George L. Vernon. OF
No 1929 Tatnall street. The child
was drowning in the city race along
the Brandywine at the foot of Jeiter-
son street when Crumlish without di-
vesting himself of coat or shoes sprang
into the stream and with the assist
ance of another lad saved the little
fellows life.
Crumlish saw little Clark strug-
CLING in the water at Jefferson street.
He had to race along the bank to West
street and at that point he jumped into
the water just ahead of the oncoming
Vernon child. The child had been
under water twice and was struggling
gamely for life and when Crumlish
reached for the little fellow the latter
grabbed his rescuer tightly about the
neck The water in the race at the
point of rescue was over Crumlish's s
head and il was only after struggle
that he managed to loosen the grip
the child had on him. BY this time
the Vernon lad was practically ex-
hausted and Crumlish caught hold of
his hair and worked his way to the
bank where another boy helped the
two ashore.
Between the two boys they carried
young Vernan to the Crumlish
home and there the youngster was re-
suscitated. DR.. John W. Mullin later
attended the child.
Young Crumlish is modest. Mr..
Vernon, father of the rescued child,
last night wanted to reward the boy
for his heroism but he refused any
compensation for his act Crumlish
said he couldn't help jumping in after
the little boy when he saw him drown
ing.
Clark eluded the watchful eye OF
his mother yesterday afternoon and
about O'Clock made his way TO the
race. He fell from the stone wall into
the stream and was carried under the
foot bridge at Jefferson street.
