EVEN GEO. QUIGLEY
 FAILS BILL SCINSKI
Not a Soul Attends Benefit Meeting and Mayor Is Conspicuous
 By His Absence.

What may eventually prove to have New Britain took place last night at the Hotel Beloin when Owner Scin- skis scheduled meeting with the fans was supposed to take place. Two reporters, President O'Rourke, of the Eastern league, and Owner Scnski were the only ones present. Even been encoura ging Owner Scinski and who advised him to hold the meeting, saying that he would come around and give a little talk, failed him at the last minute and neglected to put in his appearance, saying he had company and couldn't come around.
 Now that all of the 150 men who were asked to attend the meeting have declined, as is evidenced by their absence last night, to help him, Owner Scinski is at the end of his rope. He has dropped all his own available funds and says that he will cast himself upon the mercy of the league directorate. President O'Rourke will call a special league meeting for next Sunday night and the disposition of the New Britain trouble will be discussed and action taken.
 What seems to rankle the most in the breasts of local fans who, while they themselves did not feel capable of financially supporting the magnate, is that Quigley should go back on him. It was on his advice that this matter was undertaken and he agreed to show up. His honor is said to be peeved because Scinski signed his name to the letters calling the meet ing.

 Gibbons seems to lack ambition or something With his class-and to me he looks all alone in the divisron- he ought to wade right through the bunch of mediocre rivals for the hon ors. Just why he has so Tar negIect- ed the golden opportunities for fame and fortune that await him is one of the big mysteries of the ring It may be, as some writers seem to think, that Gibbons hasn't the heart, nor the stomach, for real fighting.

Amateur Headsman.

Most of us are wont to think of the
beheadment as a relic of the dark ages.
but the last 1ecapitation which took
place in the British isles was no later
than 1920. The victims were two I'M
fOrtunates who had taken a part in the
Bonnymuir rising and were convicted
Of high treason. The sentence was car
ried out in Stirling, Scotland. The
headsman, who vas masked and wore
a serge gown, was a small, nervous
man who did his work SO badly that it
was not until the third stroke that he
decapitated one of the un~fOrtunates.
The assembled crowd yelled "Murder!'
and the miserable headsman was heard
to remark, II wish to heaven | had not
it to do" For a long time his iden-
tity was a mystery, but it later devel-
oped that he was a young medical stu
dent of Glasgow. The ak and the
mask which he used Oh the occasion
may still be seen.-New York Sun.
