Laurens, Sept. Gold in death and
lying near each other, Mr. and Mrs.
J. Milan Hellams, who resided near
Tunlbling Shoals, were found this
morning at 10 o'clock on the floor
of their bed room with a pistol wound
in the head of each. Under the body
of Mr.. Hellams was found a revolver
with two empty chambers. The the
ory general accepted is that it Is a
case of murder and suicide.
The tragedy probably occurred yes
terday afternoon shortly after 4
O'Clock, as Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Terry,
who live nearby, testified at the coro-
ner's inquest this afternoon that they
heard two shots at about that time
in the direction Of the Hellams home
las this was not an unusual circum-
stance, however, they paid no attelS
tion to it, for it is said Mr. Hellams
frequently engaged in target practice
about his home, being an expert pis-
tel shot.
The coroner's jury returned ver-
dict to the effect that both came to
their death from gunshot wounds in
the hands of parties unknown to the
jury. The doors to the room were
closed and the window shades pulled
down. About ten minutes elapsed be-
tween the reports of the two shots. It

pie and her body was in front OF an
open dresser with one foot resting
on an overturned chair, which sne
probably occupied at the time the
fatal shot was fred. Mr. Hellams was
shot in the forehead and was lyins
face downward on the carpet in a pool
OF blood. There was nothing to indi-
cate that either had been molested
after death. That robbery led to the
soluble tragedy is improbable, as two
purses containing s34 were found in
the pockets of Mr.. Hellams and In

Kaiser. There is no reason why
we should fail, because we are the

Donatella may go in at end also, as
he has had a good rest since his
injury in the Lebanon game more

played well at that position on Sat

have a slight advantage over Tech

Tech, however, has good men in

one year of experience in high school
football.
Last year Tech defeated Steelton
at the Cottage Hill field, 10 to o, but

WEEE7s ! CORNER

Now comes a report from Philadel-
phia that the Army-Navy game will
be played. Informal teams will do
battle and indications are that the
annual war contest will take place in
the Yale Bowl. Those who have
watched the progress of fall sports
have not been able to explain why
there should have been any doubt
about the big battle, after Army Of
ficials urged extra activity in sports.
George w. and Harry Meyers, 225
Hummel street, have the honor of
bringing the first deer to Harrisburg.
On a recent trip to Maine woods
they captured two fine specimens.
They went by auto and brought home
their trophies yesterday. George w.

With the near approach of the
time for the annual meeting of the

Probable Merger

Among the Glass a. A. circuits are
considered the American ASsoclauoh
and International Leagues, of course
But from the best authority IL mas
been learned that the two VIII sure
ly merge in Il new class just short OF
major rating. The new league is TO
be protected by being freed from
draft on the part of the Natlonal
and American leagues. Its lnde-
pendence in this line will permit OF
the conservation of prayers or their
DEVELOPMENT for the revenue of sales,
but it will not be obliged through
salaries or heavy roster, to shoulder
the average major league overhead
Tom Hickey, president of the
American Association, is said TO op-
pose the move. But Hickey, 1t ap..
pears, is not lined up with the real
powers of the association. 1t is IN
timated that he fears a crumollns
of his throne through the combine,
in that Ed Barrow would be asked to
take command of the new league.
The final outcome is likely to be
arranged amicably as the result OF
existing American League politics. 1t
seems to depend upon whether or not
the War Department accepts Ban
Johnsons rendered service. Should
Ban step down from the position he
now occupies in the baseball world,
there is little doubt but that Ed Bar
row would be named as his success
sor. Hickey, assured of the future,
could then throw the weight of his
influence with the proposed new
league.

the fact that the army camps are

When West Point and Annapolis
were permitted to resume football
this fall no provision was made for
the playing of the big annual game,
but at the same time 1t was not

a game. 1t was just taken for grant

should omit their big show for this

Pershing advises that athletics be
