who measures over 6 feet 3 inches in

to this Kimmerlie person. The duck
hunters claim that he is regular
"Svangali' with the birds, and Assist
ant Manager Harry E. Hart is all
stirred up over this fellow. We are
going to mark the Hon. Kimmerlie
down as the mystery man." He is
scheduled to play the outfield with the
i"Vamps" against INLAND next Sunday,
and all eyes will be cast in his direc-
ton. Friends Of Kimmerlie don't
seem to know much about him, and
even his closest friends don't know
him by his first name. am making
guess on the initials rs. j." but If

Suicide-a.Felony Law Dies

Twenty Years-Two Convic-
tions in That Time.

New York.-The state law making
attempted suicide felony has ex-
pired after it had been on the statute
books for more than twenty years and
resulted in but two convictions.
The law provides a penalty of not
more than two years Imprisonment
and a fine not exceeding $1,000 for
violators. but is said by those who
succeeded in obtaining it's repeal to
have been no deterrent to those who
wished to hurry out of the world.
Police officials are said to have
favored the repeal on the ground that
convictions were almost impossible to
secure, while often it was necessary
TO detail policeman TO a hospital
