men the country over are pouring in on
the Cornell oarsmen and their great
coach. Charles E. Courtney. the lien
hearted monarch Of the Hudson lies in
bed in the City Hospital. suffering from
fracture in the back of his skull, a
fracture that has not been attended to
for more than two weeks because Court
ney realized that If he summoned a
Poughkeepsie physician he would be or
dered to his bed and his boys would
have been deprived of his coaching in
the two most critical weeks of the sea-
son.
Attending physicians said today that
while Courtneys injury was serious
there was nothing alarming in the situa-
ton and his recovery is confidently ex-
pected. A complete rest and absolute
quiet has been ordered and according
to the attending surgeon an operation
probably will not be necessary.
The old man himself is in good spirits

Courtney was injured on the trip tc
Highland on June II, when a jolt OF
the train threw him heavily against q

In strong contrast with Boehlings s
work was that of the Mackmen sent to
the mound. Wyckoff took a drubbing in
the second and third innings. seven Bin
giles and a walk giving them three runs.
He was inclined to be wild. and the
Griffmen helped him along by judicious
clouting. Behind such poor pitching It
Is small wonder that the Athletics fail
ed to do anything.
Again did Douglas Neff show the fans
that Clark Griffith need have no worry
over that second base berth. The young
Virginian whacked clean single to

TOWN, rs YEARS OLD,
NOW HAS FIRST CHURCH

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 12.-For the
first time in its history, extending
over period of rs years, the town
of Meadville has a church.
DR.. A. F. Watkins, president
of Millsaps College, is back from a
trip to Meadville, where he went
to dedicate new Methodist
church just erected there.
Meadville became a town three
quarters of century ago, and this
is the first church of any denomi-
nation to be established within her
borders.
The little town was the head
quarters for many years of the
famous Newman-Byrd feud, which
did not end until all of the feudists
had been killed. Since then the
town has begun to grow and pros,
per, and now it appears to be gain
ing rapidly in population and in
fluence.
