PARIS, Oct. I.-The tomb of Heinrich

now being put to a use which surely

II you take a walk In the cemetery In
the neighborhood of the German poets 8
grave you may chance to see q young
man approach the tomb. take from his
breast pocket a letter and place It rev.
erently in some receptacle in the stone.
ad then examine the grave you will be
surprised to find at the base Of the
tombstone small Iron box containing
a number Of such letters.
You Will be sorely tempted to see what
they contain, but you will respect the
sanctity of the letter box and resist the
temptation. You will make innumerable
conJectures as to the meaning of this
correspondence: Do the young poets of
Heine by offering him thus their own
compositions? you will ask yourself.
While you are occupied In trying to
solve the puzzle perhaps another young
man Will appear. He will bend down
ana take a letter from the box-not the
same letter, delicate pink envelope,
scented perhaps-and unconscious of
your presence he will raise It to his lips.
The mystery is explained.

CLEMSON
TO FACE TECH ELEVEN

X LEISON COLLEGE, Nov. 81.
THAT Tech-Tiger Thanks
giving tie-up is touted to be
a thriller. Certainly the Tigers are
going TO do their utmost to make
amends for all shortcomings of
whatever kind during the present
somewhat erraic season. At times
the Clemson bunch has given evil
dence of remarkable ability, only to
fall down fiat at the very, next cri-
sis.
The team that viii go up against
the yellow Jackets will be the very
best that has been lined up this
season. The same statement might
be made in regard to the Tech line
up. But there is this difference:
Clemson regards the game with the
Yellow Jackets as the biggest event
OF the season. while Tech looks
upon the Georgia game az the clas-
sic happening. Tech is going to be
a little over confident.
Another thing that is going TO
make this seasons contest more IA
vorable to the Tigers than any
previous engagement will be the
presence Of Clemson rooters in
large numbers.
a special train will be run from
Calhoun that win take down all
the cadets that care to go. The rate
is Just about one fare-s4-and a
couple of hundred of the lusty-
hinged have already signif1ed their
intention of taking the trip. Sew
eral members Of the faculty will
also 30 down to witness the game.
Colonel Josiah Cummins has given
permission to all who have not too
many demerits to take the trip.
Never before has the Clemson team
played Thanksgiving game with
Tech save when the lonely Tigers
had only a corporars guard OF sup
porters.

lanta now that will likely add con

~HICAGO, Nov. 21.-Any time
that you get a bunch Of ball
players to tanning you are
bound to hear some interesting
stuff.
A bunch of them were doing that
at Milwaukee during the minor
league meeting, and during the
stories they told was one that had
to do with the inside story of the
trouble in the ranks of the Boston
Americans during the worlds Sc
ries. Also of the Giant who suf-
fered the greatest case or the most
acute state of stage fright during
this same worlds series. Also the
story. of fellow who gave one
monumental exhibition Of courage
during the series between the Sox
and the Cubs.

Wood and Buck O'Brien were said

last game of the series for the

told by a major league player who
attended that meeting:

that a big bet by a brother of Joe
Wood caused the trouble" said
this player.
1T seems that on the Saturday
before the Monday on which
O'Brien pitched the game that this
brother of the Boston twirIer went
out and bet a large sum. I have
heard that he wagered 800. He was
figuring, of course, that Joe would
do the pitching. As a matter of
fact. he was betting on his broth
en- rather than on the Boston club.
O'Rrien in; Money Gone.
Joe knew about it. When Mon
day daWned there was some cues
ton about who was going to pitch
the game. Joe was anxious to work.
He appeal to Stahl The manager
said that O'Brien would twirl.
There was no chance Of pulling
back the money and it rode
O'Brien was hammered to a fare

two Wood brothers naturally were
sore. The fellows | talked to were

subs left for New Haven today. They
