There Is probability of an American Olympic star becoming the physical di- rector of the Birmingham Athletic club to succeed z. Nespor. now superintendent of the city playground department Among the applicants for the dictatorship of the Athletic club are two Olympic athletes Mike Ryan, long distance runner, and H.. J. Huff, sprinter. Including Ryan and Huff, there are five athletes and physical directors seeking the local position, and all have excellent recommendations backing their applications. The other three applying for the position are M L. Clevett of Culver, Ind. L. Norman Zarfos of Chicago and A. W. Chow of Purdue university, Lafayette, Ind.
 All five are under consideration for the place and as yet William streit, Jr., chair man of the club athletic committee, who has the matter in charge, has been unable to make a selection.
 Mike Ryan. who is at present residing at Rockbank, Staten Island, N Y. has been a member of the famous Irish-Amer- ican Athletic club for nearly 10 years and in 19Os went to the London Olympic
 
 again in 1912 to Stockholm In the latter year he won position on the Olympic team by virtue of having qualified in both of the eastern trials.
 Hold Marathon Record
 In 1910 he won the Canadian marathon title. breaking the worlds record for 26 miles and TIC yards this being the same as the course at Athens, Greece. His time for the distance was hours 4s minutes and IS 1-5 seconds, which still stands.
 Because of this showing he was sent to London the following year by Canadian sportsmen to compete in the world 8 championship conducted by the Polytech- nic Harriers. and succeeded in finishing second.
 Ryan has been on the championship cross-country team six consecutive times, and was on the team that toured Europe

NEW CURE FOR TooTHAcHE
Dr. HsKendric. smith Tells of "I'wiiisht
Sleep, for Dentists.
TSDecinl to Tho cTirnca-Diapatrh1

NEW YORK. November GA now
form of twilight sleep for aching teeth
was explained to-day by DR.. IL. Ken
dric Smith at the convention OF the
New York Ostcopathic Society. All that
is necessary to stop the pain OF an
aching incison or bcuspid is to exert
pressure OIL the thumb or fnsorB ot
tho hand on the side which holds the
ache. That ir, If one has a couple OF
left incisors that are too painful to
endure, he can forget all about them
simply by pressing hard on the second
Joint Of the left thumb. It is not q
fanciful theory, nor a variation OF the
old Counter irritant" remedy. DR..
Smith snys. 1t is effective because tho
nerves that arc affected when the
teeth ache have q connection with the
nerves IN the thumb md fingers, and
the pressure rproduces anaesthes!a over
the entire nerve region. DR.. Smith
proved the effectiveness of his remedy
by pressing clinical patients left
thumb and 1abbing Il needle into the
innn's left gum under the incisors. Tho
patient did not finch. and said he suf-
Tered no pain. DR.. Smith Gays the
Bamo pressure Will enable any dentist
to nnacstheti2c patients teeth for
the purpose of drilling cavities or ex-
trnctinS nerves.
