cuted a woman who had made a
mistake that her mind gave way
under the strain and became a fog
of anger and revolt and spite, was
disclosed here today.
Winifred Ankers, servant in
the Brooklyn nursery and infants
hospital-at S. a month-con-
fessed that she poisoned and
caused the death of eight little
babies in that Institution.
The girl-She Is no more-did
not mean to kill the babies. She
just wanted to make them i'll so
the nurses who had abused her
would be blamed and she would
have little revenge for the treat
ment she had received.
Here is Winifred Ankers'
story, as pitiful one, and as ter
rible an indictment of society, as
. ever was penned:
AS an infant she was COM
mitted to an orphanage. From
there she was adopted by Mrs.
Ankers.
So long as Mrs. Ankers lived,
her path was in pleasant places.
She grew up into a bright, intelli-
gent girl.
Then, when Winifred was 10
years old, Mrs, Ankers died. Mrs.
Ankers' relatives would have
nothing to do with Winifred.
Why should they care for the
fate of an orphanage brat? The
girl was cast out into the world.
She suffered cold and hunger
and thirst. She knew what it was

Her baby was born last June.
The man, of course, disappeared,

less, was once more thrown pen,
niless on the world.
But" she said, "at least I had /
my baby to love and that made
me so happy. l never had had \
anything to love before"
She applied to the Brooklyn
nursery and infants hospital for
work. She begged for work on y
her knees, any kind of work that
would not necessitate her separa-
ton from her baby.
She was given a job-at S. a
month, and thanked God for his
goodness.
And hten she found out that
her torment had only begun.
She was given the hardest work
to do at the hospital. She was
kept at it all day long, and often
reused to do some work in the
night. When she complained,
nurses and interneS sneered at
her, and pointed the finger of
scorn.
"Who are you you to COM
plain?" they asked. "a woman
of the streets, the mother of a
fatherless child whom we, in our
great charity, have taken in"
Her torment became so great

Most Accurate Sporting News
How Was Carl | Morris Put Out?
Reports That Knockout by Luther Met Carthy Was
 Not on Level s,

The promoters of the Carl Morris Luther Mccarthy bout at Springfield, Mo-, are being deluged with queries in regard to the silent count" Morris received from Referee Edward Coch- rane. The promoters are placing the blame for the misunderstanding on the shoulders of the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff, who they. declare drew up the rules governing the bout. In order to avoid a public statement that knockout had taken place the pros ecutor and the sheriff put their heads together and devised a rule making 1t obligatory on the referees part to do all counting to himself and without the usual measured beats of his finger.
 At the end of the mental, count II the fallen boxer had not risen the ref- cree was to stop the bout and declare him the loser Thus was. the law to be circumvented. Apparently the prosecutor went on the principle that Missourians must be shown in decld- ing that the absence of finger beats would do away with any suggestion that knockout had been committed. < Morris had had this legal sublety ex- plained to him, but having his wits well scattered by the application or McCarty's mitt ne waited patiently on his knees for the count that never came However, the fact remains that Morris was floored and this alone ding hope Already wires are being pulled in an effort to bring McCar- ty to New York. If he consents, to come the lucky promoter securing the attraction will be sure of packed house for curiosity to see the man who fiattened Carl Morris will draw out the fans in large numbers.

BOXING

Rye, IN. Y, May sJohnny Kilbane of Cleveland, featherweight champion, has the New York sports buffaloed. Accustomed to wind hammers in the champion class, Ki1bane's modesty and self restraint are causing wonder. He is also, unlike the average cham pion'' off getting in shape for his coming bout with Frankie Burns.
 Boston, May 9-Boston sporting edi- tors again today banned unmercifully the Buck Crouse-Leo Houck fight which it was thought would start Bos- tons boxing game going after a Hi bernation of some six months. Unan- imous opinion of sport followers is that Houck won by a mile despite Referee Clougherty's decision favor ing Grouse, who was a 10 to favor ite. 1t is feared by fight fans that despite Clougherty's hedging several hours later by changing his decision enemies of the game may force the legislature to pass laws killing the game in the state, on the strength of the Crouse-H -Houck fiasco and that between Papke and Moha last fall.

CouIon Defeats
 Young SoIsbere

Johnny Coulon, the Chicago claim ant of the bantamweight title. clear ly demonstrated his superiority over Young Solsberg, the Brooklyn boxer. fast ten-round bout before crowd that packed the clubhouse of the RoyaIe A. C., of Brooklyn. Coulon had the better of nine, of the ten ses- sfops, the other round. the first, end- ing in an even break. Although SoIs- rounds. his opponent piled up such a lead in that the Brooklyn boy could not make any headway.
 Experience proved to be a big fac- tor in the bout. Coulon's ring general ship enabling him to take advantage of every opening. Solsberg looked and acted. the part of novice. COulon feinting the Brooklynite into open- ings that a boxer of more experience than Solsberg would never have fall- en into. Johnny kept feinting with his left, causing Solsberg to rush for- ward with guard lowered. Coulon, as result, was able to get in many blows that took the steam out of Sols- berg.
 Johnny crashed his right to Sols- berg's jaw almost at will and used a right to the heart every time the con- .testants were at close range. Sols- berg was unable to get out of reach of Johnny's right, the Chicagoan play ing tattoo on the body and jaw with that blow.
 Coulon scored the only knockdown of the bout in the second round, when he ripped his right to the point of the jaw after sending three rights to the heart The blows to the heart a1- most doubled up Solsberg, and when Johnny followed those with blow to the jaw it dropped Solsberg to one knee. Sorsberg held on the Chicagoan and arose before the referee could start the count.

Will Hal Chase :.
 Figure In Trade?
Report That New York First Stacker Will be Swapped
 For Speaker or. Johnson

The mystery surrounding the illness or Hal Chase. star first baseman of the New York Americans, took a rather sensational turn yesterday so far@- as unsubstantiated gossip goes.
 It was rumored around the corri- dors of the Somerset Hotel, New York. where the St. Louis Browns are stop ping, that. the former manager of the Antles Will be: traded to a rival club Wltn1n the course of very few days It is whispered that Walter Johnson. the wonderful pitcher of the Senators will come in exchange for the best first sackerr in the business. Another surnise connects :. the name of Iris speaker, crack centre fielder of the Boston Red Sox, with the proposed Perhaps the origin of such gossip might be, traced to irresponsible sources, the. ,promptings of couple of days eidleness. Chase would :. look mighty good to either the Red Sox or. Washington. But it is. doubtful if Griffith would dare to sacrifice Johnson, for any other man In. the game. Down in. Washington they figure the game already won any time Walter steps into the box. Letting him go from that city would be the same as Detroit giving up Cobb. ..s. The New York club strenuously de nies that it, is considering any deal in which Chase will figure. Naturally it would do so. An advertisement of the bargain counter always cheapens wares in the eyes of rivals. The management did say yesterday that Chase is practically well again, and that he will be able to play Saturday or Monday It is learned on good authority that Chase has been suffer- ing from erysipelas, a disease that put him out of commission for a few weeks last year. Chase is in, a. pri- vate sanitarium.

CORSETS MAKE
 THE WOMAN IS
 DR. KOP'S VIEW

Washington. May eCorsets1 were valiantly defended today before the House Patents Committee by Daniel Kops of New York one of AmeFica's biggest manufacturers of big cofsets. He makes corsets exclusively for stout women and appeared in defense of the patent monopoly of corsetierres to fix the retail price of their products.
 Women now gets their corsets fif- ty per cent cheaper than eighteen years ago." said Kops' Before that, women did not wear corsets generally. Now they are recognized aids to health and beauty-just indispensa- ble.
 Years ago a woman bought "a cor set for $1 and it wore out-floppy over the hfps-in g. couple of months Now she pays three dollars for corset which wears her a year: then esle washes it; and then she files a bbig kick with the manufacturers. com- blaming that her previous corset last ed year and half" SN sa
 Kops declared the corset business. built up by building corsets to build up women. should be protected by the patent privilege of fixing retail prfceo.

'M'INTYRE OF CUBS NEARLY LOST ONE EYE

Pitcher McIntire of the Cubs, had a narrow escape from losing his left eve at St. Louis. The Cubs have so many alleged hunters in their ranks that a bunch of them adjourned to shooting gallery to exhibit their prov ess with toy rifles. It sounded like the second battle of Bull Run Tor few minutes, then McIntire was wounded on his hand by splinter from a bullet recoiling from one of the steel targets While he was show- ing that wound to friends another splinter struck him just above the left eye and cut a small gash. Half an inch. lower would have cut the pltch- CTS eyeball seriously The sport was discontinued, As the range in the shooting gallery is something like 30 feet in length, it was foolhardy for the players to shoot at steel targets at that distance.

stances in the matter and that the owners should not be made to suffer because of conditions which they could not control At the same time he could take no other course than to enforce the rules.
 The whole trouble arose because os the attitude of certain misguided in- dividuals in Plainville who apparently object to any clean. healthy sport on Sunday. These people sent a. deputy sheriff to the New Britain-Hartford contest and he stood on the home plate. thinking he could thereby stop the game. The teams used first base as the plate and the umpire announce ed that the contest would be an exl1f- bition.
 The action of the ki1Ijoy folks is so unpopular in New Britain and Plain ville that it has been found impossible to secure warrant to arrest the play CTS. The so-called reformers know the baseball magnates would win if the case was ever taken to court SO they will try the mean tactics of both- ering the clubs as much as possible.
