JERRY DORMAN HURT IN A
WIND STORM

About one o'cIocx last Friday af-
ternoon a sort of \ hurricane west
wind struck this vicinity and for q
time people wondered if they were
going to be- blown away, but it
gradually lost it's velocity without
doing a great amount of damage to
any person but did a small amount
to several. The most severe damage
reported was at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jerry Dorman about eleven
miles north of this city. When they
saw the storm coming Mr.. and Mrs.
Dorman went to take care of their
young chickens. While at work the
high wind blew the chicken house
over on them seriously injuring Mr..
Dorman, breaking his leg in two
places and otherwise bruising and
spraining him. Mrs. Dorman escap-
ed in better condition but was badly
bruised about the breast. DR.. Her
rick was called and made them as
comfortable as possible but it will
be some time before Mr. Dorman
can be around again, which will
cause him a great deal of incon-
venience at this tine of the year

What is to happen to college foot
ball this season?
With the first officers reserve camp
filled with college athletes, with
many more applying for the second
camps and the draft taking more, the
question Of continuing football this
fall naturally arises.
TO find the attitude toward football
wrote to coaches and athletic di
rectors of a number of representa-
tive colleges, asking:
CD Whether football would be con
tinued this fall?
(2) The number of eligible men
who would not return to college on &C
count Of the war.
CO Whether the freshman rule
would be abolished in order to fill the
depleted ranks of athletes.
Letters received from a number OF
coaches convince me that while the
football squads of practically every
college will be seriously depleted, ath-
letics will be continued and the rules
governing college sport before the
war will not be changed.

The continued success Of the Chi
cagO White Sox leads the baseball
patrons Of the Windy City to believe
that the two contenders for the cham
pionship Of the diamond next fall will
be the Giants and White Sox. While
1t is rather early as yet to pick the
Sox as winners Of the American League
pennant still it must be admitted that
the team from the west looks to have
q mighty good chance for the flag.

Comiskey. First base, weak spot
since the slide Of Jiggs Donohue, is
now acceptably filled by Chick Gandil,
who can hit as we'll as field. Risberg
fills the shortstop portfolio commenda-
ably and Weaver is better at third
than any other position on the infield.
Eddie Collins has not been hitting up
to form so far this season, but is likely
to cut loose at any time.

Suspension OF Schedules 10 Probably
Best Thing That Could Have

The suspension Of schedules by a
number Of the minor leagues is prob
ably the best thing that could have
happened for them under existing con-
ditiOns. d
Population in the minor league
cities Is comparatively small if you
count the baseball fans alone, and in
war time the tendency to conserve
finances Is greater in the small cities
and towns than in cities Of the first
class. In addition. to this, the base
bah population in the larger cities is
large enough to keep a ball club rum
ming at small profit.
, For the lack Of this the minor league
magnate is always up against it when
times become panicky, and without
baseball for the remainder Of 1917 and
probably. throughout the season Of
1918, If the war continues, the minor
league fans will have time to recover
their balance and will be baseball hun

Where did you come from?' I asked.
 I'm really Russian; that is on my fathers side. but French on my moth er's,' Miss LaMar said ''I inherit the gift, of course, l do; but at the same time I've cultivated it. I read all the books 1 can get on mind reading and l love poetry and mystical things, and, of course, everything psychic. because my work is purely psychic; anybody who knows will tell you that"
 How do you know the names of the people in the audience, people you've never heard of or seen and all Mir. shan non has to do is merely to say to you Tell the gentleman what his name is.' I begged
 Miss LaMar laughed lustily at my fool ish questions, and said:
 That's the easiest thing I do; any body knows their own name and imme- Shannon asks me the question, and 1 merely read their mind; it's quite sim pie.
 Just like that; falling off a log, you know; living on Easy street, as it were; just nothing.
 And you don't go into trance or throw a fit or do anything like that be- fore going on the stage" I inquired.
 Perfectly absurd, said Miss LaMar, her SlGntlng Jap-Shaped eyes positively laughing at me. You see me now; you saw me on the stage few minutes ago; you'll see me again in few minutes; have I been in trance any time dur ing the past two hours?'
 Maybe I don't know 8 trance when l see one," I expostulated.

 Then it is mind reading I acknowl- edged.
 That's it." she said. T used to call it hunch when I was little; you know there is such a thing as a hunch.'
 You mean the sort of thing that tells you to make it no trumps at auction when your partner lays down hand that looks like a foot?" I asked. 'Intul- tion? Not intuition, of course, because somebody has said that intuition with woman is something that makes her draw right conclusions from wrong prem ises and wrong conclusions from right premises, and makes her always punch the fire from the top"
 "Oh, but there are good lunches and bad hunches,' Miss Lamar said, and mine was good one; anyway, call 1t what you will, psychic phenomena, in tuition, hunch; l never fail and medical men, scientists, psychical researchers, and clairvoyants have tried to discover a trick in it, and not one has ever said anything after seeing my act except that it is simply case of mind read ing"

 Mrs. J. w. Minter, president of the Fortnightly Shakespeare club. was hos tess yesterday afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs, J. M. Dill, Jr., on Glen Iris avenue at the annual club reception.
 The house was adorned with many spring blossoms, combined with many glossy leafed and stately palms and other tropical plants Mrs. Minter was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Dill and the officers of the two Shakespeare clubs of the city, Colonel Sumter Lee, and Prof. and Mrs. T. c. Burns
 There was no regular programme, but during the afternoon Colonel Lee pre- sented in behalf of the Fortnightly club very beautiful loving cup to Professor Burns in appreciation of the splendid aid he has given the club during the past year.
 Colonel Lee is most delightful speaker and made the presentation in the most befittng and delightful manner.
 Delightful refreshments were served during the afternoon to the guests who were the members of the two Shakespeare club and a few other friends
