bitterness Of his remorse. the shame and
the sincere repentance Of the writer
make up largely for the poorness OF the
verse.

The other verse perhaps indicates that
the ultimate death Of the unhappy prls-

follows:

The fourth paper. however. was not
the work OF William Leigh OF Maryland
1t is in his handwriting truly, but the
whole character of the lines IL far above
the powers of the man. His construc-
ton of the second verse betrays an
amateurishness in the arr of letters
which could never have been responsible
for this remarkable vision story.
The note on the autograph slip, "a
crazy missive from my friend F.. p,
seems to point at once to the connection
between "E. p" and Edgar Allan Poe.
1t is rather amusing to notice the
classification of the story as crazy
missive." This was quite in accordance
with the public opinion of the works of
Edgar Allan Poe during his lifetime.
How could Poe have been especially
interested in William Leigh of Mary
land? We associate Poe's life with that
State His tragic death also occurred
in Baltimore. There is a curious SINH
larty between the names of Poe's beau
tiful Annabel Lee and "E. P.'s' friend
william Leigh. Was this similarity
more than coincidence? Could the An
mabel Lee of the poem have really been
Annabel Leigh. the sister or relative Of
William Leigh? And could thus
friendship between the two men have
sprung up?
The contents of the fourth paper are
given below. The paper was stained and
partly eaten by insects. Evidently the
part preserved is not the entire manu-
script, although presumably large
portion Of it is there.

KENTUCKY FUTUR|7y

LEXINGTON, KY. October Peter
Volo won the Kentucky Futurity yes

by coming within a nod of losing the
opening heat. The presence of the big
colt made it the lightest field that has
gone to the post in this classic in
twenty-one years and Peter was ia
vorite at 500 to SIS over the field
In the opening round the big colt
loafed to the half in 1.06, when An
drews moved up with the little colt
Lee Axworthy. The pair had a, finish
fight and Lee Axworthy being equal
to a half in 1.04A, he all but nipped
Peter Volo at the wire, Murphy having
to make a vigorous drive to win. After
that Murphy took no further chance,
but kept his colt trotting and won the
next two heats comfortably. In the
third heat Peter Volo. trotting in 0:32,
1:02h, 1921 and 2.03h, lowered the
worlds record for a three-year-old
from 2.04%, as made by Colorado E.
here in 1910. The three heats are the
best on record for a trotter of his age.

Shibe field. which is new to all Of
them. Manager Stallings aims to have
his Braves out on the Athletics ball
grounds tomorrow morning. The play
ers indulged in fast practice for more
than two hours at the National League
grounds this morning.
Stallings will have his team at final
practice tomorrow morning, and then
says he will be ready for the opening
game.
The accident to Third Baseman Smith
is apt to prove serious blow to the
Braves chances. Stallings. however. re-
fuses to admit that the absence, of
Smith puts his team out of the running.

his own, I am sure" said Stallings this
morning na tS W1uld Of 3hs course prefer to

it is the first break we have had, so
there is no kick coming"
The chances are that Bender and
James will be the opposing pitchers on
the opening day. Stallings would not
admit he had made a definite decision
as to his pitcher Tor Friday. but he said
AS for Mack, he has told several friends
he would start the series with Bender

The fact that the Athletics are showing
poor form with the stick in the two
games they have played with the New
for they hold that once a team falls
into a batting slump 1t takes a week or
more for them to come back. and they
are hopeful that the present weak hit

The National League players will
all get line on their opponents
when they view the contest between

the University of Michigan. Wisconsin

The Lexington eleven scored more than
100 points against the team 1t played
last week.
The Catholic University eleven is put
ting in some strenuous days this week
in an effort to build up the team to a
point where 1t will enter the game with
St. Johns Saturday on pretty nearly
even terms. c. U. realizes that 1t will
be against a team capable Of putting
up a splendid offensive game in line
plunging, as well as in forward pass
ing. st. Johns has behind its lines one
of the best line plungers, in Turner,
that have ever been in a Maryland
school, and it also has an exceptionally
clever man with the forward pass in
Bowen, who was the star halfback for
Washington College a year ago.
c. U. has heavy and powerful line,
though; one that ought to be able to
stop the backs of the Maryland team
from gaining ground consistently. And
II that Is true. 1t behooves the Brook
landers to 80 build their defense as to
prevent any consistent gains with the
forward pass. The odds would seem to
favor st. Johns. but 1t is more than
probable that Catholic University will
do a whole lot better work and make a
much superior showing to what one
would naturally expect, when it is con-
sidered that st. Johns won its game
last Saturday from Rock Hill by so to Z.
