PARALYTIC TICKS HIS
WISH IN MORSE CODE
TeIegraphy Enables Him to Grant Pow

BY the use of the telegraph key, In
which John Cooper Mann Of Seattle,
Wash. had been an expert for many
years, his two sons and Attorney
Thomas Z. MacMahon. himself for,
mer telegrapher, were able to obtain
the consent OF Mann to a power of at

empowered to draw funds from the

ton.
The two sons. MacMahon and an ex-
pert operator from the Western Union
gathered In the sickroom with tele-
graph instrument and small dry bat
terry to make the experiment, other
means of communication having failed.
The idea Of the telegraph key was
MacMahon's. who realized that Mann
might respond to the stimulus which
had been so close part Of him for so
many years and thus bridge the gap
left by his loss OF faculties.
The trouble was to get enough mo-
ton on Mann's part even to operate
the key for minute. The instrument
was put into his right hand He could
not use it.
Then a sudden. peculiar twitching
of his eye was noted He is trying to
telegraph with his eye" said MacMa-
hon, and he spelled out the word left. "
The key was placed in his left hand.
Mann had not sufficient force to oper

could crack d joke when death was
knocking ut the door. This is demon
strated in Il letter written by the ia
nous humorist to his lifelong friend,
the Rev. DR.. J. G.. Walker, pastor OF
the Mantua Baptist church, West Phil
adelphia. When Burdette lived in
Bryn Mawr twenty-five years ago he
frequently visited DR.. and Mrs. Walker
at their parsonage.
Burdette's letter. written on his
deathbed, reads In part as follows:
my health is sadly broken; perma-
nently so. still write little every
week, but my pulpit and platform days
are yesterdays story. go out to drive
little daily and see few people
mighty few.
II enjoy life. love to live. though
1t isn't nice to be sick. l don't know
just what Is the matter with me;
chronic pancreatitis think the doc
tors call it. Do you know, until 1t went
on strike l never knew | had a pam

found out"
Instance Of Humor.
A fugitive instance of Burdette's roll
licking humor was n letter home to his
flock in Los Angeles during his first
trip to Europe. He dated the letter
from "some distance out in the damp"
and said In part:
'"The scenery along this route, al
though somewhat monotonous. Is
splendidly irrigated. But it seems too
early for the growing crops. Nothing
has come up yet except on shipboard,
and that has gone overheard. The
route Is not nearly 50 populous as the
Santa Fe trail over the DESERT We
have just two kinds Of days-the days
We zee a ship and the days W don't"

Never Again, Swore

Dick Rudolph. whom fans will re-

years ago While pitching for Ford
ham college. Rudolph favorably i'm.
pressed an International league scout,
and was soon afterward invited TO
join the Rutland teanl.ef the Yer
mont league for tryout. He was
just kid then, and took the mound
for the first time as professional in
a state that bordered on nervous col
lapse
The first batter 10 face him in the
second inning was a person called
Sullivan. Dick tried TO slip over a
strike, and Sullivan clouted the Of

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Dec. S.-The
80 University OF Michigan athletes
who are back of the campaign 10 clean
up some OF the Objectionable features
connected with university athletics
here are anxious that the public be
set right on the real purpose OF the
movement.
IL is planned 10 wage a war against
student betting ON games, against Inv
that frequently follows
contests, and the use OF pro.
family by athletes on the field and in
the club houses. Included in the res
olutions drawn up at the meeting at
which the movement was started, was
an attack on the indiscriminate hand
ing out OF tobacco and cigarettes al
smokers There was, however, no at
tack upon smoking at smokers by
those who desired to court my lady

The interested athletes believe that
the too.customary ''rough-neckism"
that has been in evidence on the oc-
casion OF big athletic contests has led
many people. who visit the campus
only at such times. TO believe that
such procedure is regular part OF
life here The whole ques-
tion is being put up TO campus senti-
ment, rather than considered a mat

KILBANE'S SHOWING
NOT IMPRESSIVE
Feather Champ Gets Draw With
MandOt, But Latter Does All
the Leading

AKRON, o., Dec, S.--If Johnny kil-
bane expects 10 add the lightweight
title 10 his present featherNe1ght
championship. he will have To show
more than he did here last night in
his 12-round scrap with Joe Mandot.
The fight was nice draw. but the
New Orleans boy did nearly all OF
the leading. and his showing all the
way Was more satisfactory than Kill
bane's. Up to the tenth round, the
scrap was mostly science and not
much punching Then Joe, stung by
his failure 20 make the feather champ
lead. bloodied Johnny's nose That
seemed 10 start something. for the
last two rounds were more like a
battle Mandot showed lot of things
that augur we'll for his chances with

Walsh's protege blocked more clev-

the fans with the way in which he
made Kilbane miss time and again.

c. MACK HAS GOOD
MOUND STAFF LEFT
Youngsters of Class Will Step
Into Shoes of Lamented
Bender and Plank

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Now
that all doubt regarding the passing
OF Chief Bender and Eddie Plank
from the American league, is re-
moved. fandom is poking an inquisi-
tive nose into what is left OF Connie
Macks pitching staff. Such OF those
fans who live outside OF the walls OF
the Quaker city are not finding a
great deal of JOY 10 reward their in
quisitiveness.
Mr.. McGillicuddy has a mighty
promising stable of twirlers, lined mp
for 1915. and soG.e of them are very
likely 10 acceptably fill the shoes OF
the hurdling hurting stars. Joe Bush
Bullet Joe-and Bob Shawkey are
moundsmen OF speed, curves and YER
satility, They have arrived and have
been accepted as lads having the
goods.
Wyckoff is something like George
Boehler-lots OF stun but lacking in
accuracy. Last year, however Wyck-
hon showed great Improvement In his
control, and Connie is counting on
him for 1915. Rube Bressler the pro
tege OF Plank, is one OF the most
promising southpaws in the big show
and Pennock Is another. II these
lads show the stun they should, and
the Athletics should find depend
able chap or two among the bushers
picked up this winter. the City OF
Brotherly Love will be idolizing Mack
by dog days time. with the harsh
words OF the winter utterly forgotten
