Gilbert Richie, Star
AH-Round Athlete

Thorpes record of 5:26, and Thomp-
sons of Sal.
The records show that in Richie s
first efforts in the Southern all-'rounl
he won the mile in $50, and in 1911
he negotiated the mile in 5:27.15 and
now he comes through with 5:17, which
is, indeed, remarkable.
If Richie could only improve in the
high hurdle events, there would be no
question as to his being even better
than Thorpe.

HAVANA POLICE CHIEF SHOT
Fatally Wounded by Governor Asbert
While Riding In Motor.

Havana. July S.-General Aimando
Riva. chief of police of Havana. was
shot and probably MORALLY wounded
by Governor Asbert, of Havana prov
ince, and others who had been an
gered by the recent action OF the chief
in closing up political and gambling
club.
The chief of police was driving on
the Prado with his two small children
when he met an automobile in which
were seated Governor Asbert, Repre-
sentative Arias and Senator Morales
The automobile was turned so as to
block the progress of the chiefs coach.
The occupants of the automobile then
hurled insults at the chief and then
drew reyolvers and began firing.
Twenty shots or more were fired. The
chief attempted to use his body as
shield for his children and received
bullet in the stomach which perfor-
ated the intestines in four places. An
other bullet struck the chief in the
face. The CHIEFS pistol had not been
discharged or even unsheathPd. His
recovery is Very doubtful.
