Fendrich Is so enthusiastic over per-
forming feats impossible for natural de-

a noted West Philadelphia physician,
when told of Fendrich, said that within a
few years he will never know that he met
with his misfortune.
During his leisure hours the schoolboy
is working out daily In the West Phila-
delphla High School gym or in the
gymnasium of the West Branch Y. NJ.

the lad and is giving him some valuable

Fine Performance
Spectators were amazed when 1t was
announced that young Fendrich had sue
ceeded in tying Windhovel and defeating
Smith and Brechimcn. Until Saturday

THE WRECK OF THE BAY STATE,

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 26. Much freight
was removed from the wrecked steamer
Bay State by the Boston lighter Salvor,
today, and the balance will be taken out
Wednesday. Despite the havoc wrought
by the rocks and heavy seas, the Bay
State continues to rest right side up,
with only slight list to starboard. As
mariners express it, the steamers back
is broken, her entire hold is submerged,
but she is still so high on the rocks that
even the flood tide does not reach her
main deck. This is where her freight is
stored. She has not been abandoned as
yet. She will be stripped and probably
the hull will be sold to some junk dealer
who makes practice of ripping up
wrecks.
II stand here today a captain without
a ship, a sacrifice to Government negli-
gence," declared Levi Foran, master
mariner, IN his first authorized state
ment today, as he stood on the sloping
deck of the passenger steamer Bay
State, wrecked on the rocks off Cape
Elizabeth while under his command last
Saturday.

I,
"for which | have worked 80 years, goes

To the style of buoys in use in the vi

he laid the responsibility for the disaster.

could have heard her whistle and we
could have heard any other properly con-
structed whistle that they might choose
to put in her place, but we could not and
did not on that night hear a sound of the
whistle that the Government put there
in the place of the lightship."
Capt. Foran stated that mariners had
petitioned the Government to take no.

the water that they do not ride the
