WORSE;
CONDITION CRAVE

UTICA. y. Y. oct. 2S.-Vice Presi-
dent James Sherman is in an extremely
critical condition Of health and the
outcome can not be forecast
His physician, DR.. Peck, today adj
mitted the gravity of the vice presi-
dents condition. but denied it was
hopeless. Mr.. Sherman is suffering from
a complication of ailments, which have
induced weakness in the heart action,
and he experiences considerable diff
Guilty in breathing. Several days ago
the vice president, who has been in a
more or less serious condition since last
spring, suffered a relapse, due, 1t is be
lieved. to overeXerting himself in leav-
ing his home to register.
His condition Saturday was perhaps
more alarming than it had previously
been. but yesterday he was easier and
was able to sit up and walk about his
home. Last night was not restful
one for Mr.. sherman, but his physician
stated at noon today he was resting
more comfortable and he believed the
crisis in his relapse had been passed.
Alarming rumors have been current
here today regarding Mr. Sherman's
condition. but Or. Peck says they are
largely exaggerated. However, as to
the distinguished patients illness his
physician makes no attempt to mini
mize it's gravity.

Bridpe points-The Score.

No one can score below the line ex-
cept the side that plays the hand.
The opposition can score above the
line only in penalties and honors.
There Is no score below the line
unless the player who gets the bid
makes all that he bid, or more. If
he fails to do this, the adversary
scores above the line, fifty for each
trick which the player bids, but fails
TO make. If there has been doubling
this fifty is raised to 100; if redou-
bling, to 200.
If you underbid your hand. you
can score all that you make over your
bid; If you oYerbid it, you can score
nothing, not even what you take.
The adversaries take fifty above
the line for every trick that you bid
and fail to take. For instance, If
you get the bid at three hearts" it
means that you have contracted to
take the book and three odd in hearts
nine tricks in all. If you take four
odd. or five. or a grand slam, you
