spring running was having a great boom throughout New England and all the crack sprinters made their headquarters at Micky Finn IS place. Whenever one of the towns through Massachusetts or Connecti- cut wanted to advertise bit they would hang up some money for two or three races and would always send to Finn to get the talent. The event would be advertised as a pro- fessional foot racing gala day and generally drew big crowds.
 Mike Murphy was one of the star sprinters and he and Steve Farrell. who now trains the Univer- sity of Michigan athletes, were the scratch men in most of the handi- caps. Of course there was not a living to be made out of the run ming game and Murphy had bottl- ed beer route as a business. He owned a horse and wagon and for a number of years he did thriv- ing business But in the spring of 1SSS the no-license law went into effect in the towns where most of his trade came from. Mike was much broken up over it.
 On his way home one day, as usual, he stopped in to see Mickey Finn. and was bemoaning his hard luck at having soon to give up his business. Finn said to him, How would you like job as a trainer Stucky? (That was the name Mur- phy was known under when he was running) l have just received a letter from Yale, asking me to send them a man to train the boys"
 Murphy said he did not know enough of the game to go there.
 Make a try at it, Stucky," said Finn They have Sherrill and a couple of other good men on the team, and that will help you out a bit"
 While they were talking tele gram came from Yale saying that the collegians must have trainer within two days. Murphy read it and told Finn he would take his ad- vice and accept the job.

 Shows Big Increase

NEW YORK-Dr. A. J. Rasanoff of Kings Park hospital for the in sane, in paper read before the Eugenics Research association at Columbia university, asserted that the number of insane persons in the institutions of the United States has nearly trebled during the last forty years.
 The average per 100000, according to Dr. Rasanoffs figures, has in- creased from S6.5 to 232.
 The most fortunate state, the phy- sician said, was Oklahoma, in which only 67 100000 of the total pop ulation are in the insane category.
 Massachusetts, he asserted, is in the worst condition, having ABA a 100000 of it's total population either insane or semi-insane.

Forger Had Never
 Heard of Kipling

NEW YORK.-Bernard Lotz told County Judge Dike in Brooklyn that he had never heard till that moment of Rudyard Kipling. The chances are that Kipling hasn't yet heard of Lotz, although he saved Lotz from being sentenced for forgery.
 Lotz has been found guilty of forging the name of John J. Mona han to a marriage license. He ex- plained he did it to help out Monahan in his desire to marry Mrs. Katherine Kavanaugh, a widow with two children.
 Monahan is IF and Mrs. Kava- naugh is-well-older than that. and Monahan wasn't positive that his papa and mama would let him marry So LotZ, mature person, signed the license and Monahan became at the same instant hus- band and stepfather When Lotz was called before him for sentence yesterday, Judge Dike said.
 Have you ever heard of Rudyard Kipling?"
 T never have" Lotz replied.
 Well" continued the judge, "I read some Kipling yesterday, while considering your case, and l am free to say that eminent writer determined for me what I shall do with you. MT. Kipling says: For the female of the species is more deadly than the male And so, Lotz, I will suspend sentence in your case. You may go."
 Nobody knows whether or not Mrs. Kavanaugh- -Monahan has heard of Judge Dike's decision yet
