PROMINENT GROCER
FALLS IN WEAKNESS
C. M. Cannon Found in Bath
Room With a Bruise on His
Head From Striking Bath
Tub in His Fall.
SICK SEVERAL DAYS;
PLANS TO GO TO STORE

Ford Cannon arose about 6 o'clock
Saturday morning to breakfast and
open the store. Looking around ne
missed his father, who had been sick
for several days. He was nowhere to
be found in the house and SO Ford
looked outside. Searching he found
his father in bath room off the back
porch, in heap on the floor and lying
tight up against the door. With help
Ford took his father into the house
and put him back in bed.
C. M. Cannon, the father, had been
sick for several days, confined to his
bed. When he had expressed a de-
termination to get up and go to the
store next morning, while talking te
the attending physician Friday night
he had been warned against such 6
step. But about A or 5 o'clock Satur
day morning, as near as his son car
figure it, he had dressed and it il
supposed started for the barn. Be
coming sick from weakness and exer
ton he had gone into the bath room
off the porch to get a drink, weak
ness had overcome him, and as HI
sank down in exhaustion he strucl
his head against the bath tub,
Mr. Cannon must have lain in th'
cold for about an hour. When foun'
he was stiff, cramped, unconscious
with big bump on his head. Fl,
was carried to his room, put into bed
and DR.. Sipher called. Before tn
physician arrived Mr.. Cannon had re
gained consciousness. The Docto
says he probably became sick, hope
to revive himself with water, but wa
overcome before he could regain him
self. A glass and water was foun'
on the bathroom floor beside him.
Anxiety on the part of his daughter
Miss Ida Cannon, who was also sick il
bed with the Flu, led her to jump ou
into the cold and try to assist in car
ing for her father. It was feared tn
exposure might cause relapse in he
case.
Unless the elder Cannon caught ad
ditional cold while exposed in tn
bath room, little ill was feared fron
his attempt to surreptitiously retur
to business at the store.

OUTCLAssED SCHOOLS.
In swimming, Central was in a
class by itself. With the exception
Of the Mt Pleasant school none Of
the schools is equipped with a pool
or an instructor. Tech and Western
went into the outdoor meet more for
the sake of competing than anything
else. Central took practically all Of
the .honors, Coach F. II. Drummer de-
veloping a remarkably fine team.
AS matter OF fact the Central lads
cut a wide swath in South Atlantic
honors in swimming, taking the big
meet in Baltimore and many South
Atlantic titles. On the showing with
other schools out of town the Central
track and swimming records in COM
petition were the best OF any of the
local schools.
Taken all in all no school was
able to grab all the titles. The hon
ors were split UP almost evenly.
Tech won the bask etball champion
ship, Western the baseball title. Cen
trail the track title, and Tech the
football championship by a narrow

PENN STATE HAS HARD
SCHEDULE NEXT SEASON

STATE COLLEGE. Pa, Dec. III
When 1t comes to hard football sched-
ues, the one arranged for the Penn
State eleven next fall will just about
take the prize, among Eastern COL
leges, at least. Following the two
preliminary games, seven of the
toughest kind OF battles are awaiting
Hugo Bezdek's aggregation, and the
question that is now going the rounds
Is whether or not the Blue and White
team can go through them success
fully.
A look at the array of big games
facing Penn State is enough to give
any coach gray hair. North Carolina
State, Lehigh. Harvard. Georgia TIE III,
Carnegie Tech, Navy and Pitt are to
be met on successive weeks, and Il
Bezdez's eleven can earn an even
break they will be doing well.
The hardest test will probably come
during the last two weeks in October
when Harvard and Georgia Tech are
played on successive Saturdays, ne
former at Cambridge and the latt n
in New York city. Then following
the Pennsylvania day game at homo
the team winds up the season with
two more hard trips, meeting Navy
in Philadelphia and Pitt in Pittsburgh.
The big home games will be with
Lehigh on alumni homecoming day,
and with Carnegie Tech on Pennsyl-
yania day.

OHIO STATE PRACTICINC
FOR NEW YEAR CONTEST

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. 26.-The
final stage of preparation for the foot
ball classic to be staged New Year
Day at Pasadena, when brawny sons
of near east and far west meet on the
gridiron, was begun here yesterday,
when the University of California
warriors. thirty in number, arrived
from Berkeley to complete their train
ing on the ground with Ohio State,
their coming opponents for inter-
sectional honors.
At noon, Coach Andy Smith ordered
the boys who are to defend the honor
Of the West out on the turf at Tour
nament Park, where the struggle of
next Saturday will take place, for a
workout. The big men from San
Francisco way were put through the
PAGES prescribed for them and retired
shortly afterward to the showers.
Upon the completion of the Bears
workout, Coach Wilce took his Ohio
state gridders out on the field for a
lively session, which proved tn OBJ
servers that their long trip has in no
way robbed them OF any OF the pep
that sent them to the top OF the big
ten during the past season.

BIG BID OUT
FOR BENTLEY
Dunn Tells Mack He Is Offered
$4,000 for OrioIe
Player.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-Connie
Mack. Of the Athletics, is quoted by
James c. Isaminger, a Philadelphia
baseball writer, as saying that he
tried everything possible to get Bent
ley and jacobson from Baltimore and
was much disappointed when he
failed.
1t has always been understood that
Mack could get the pick of the Bal
timore team any time he wanted 1t
for the asking, but this is apparently
an exaggeration, despite the fact that
Mack shoves players to Baltimore
each season, and often in the heat or
the pennant race when Baltimore
needs a player badly.
Mack has often sacrificed his own
interest to help out Baltimore, and
Jack Dunn realized that he was un-
der obligations and was sorry be-
cause he COULD not hand Connie the
two stars, but he told Connie he had
decided to keep both Bentley and
Jacobson, as Baltimore fans would
start a riot were he to sell them.
He also told Connie that he had
turned down an offer OF $4,000 cash
for Bentley, the Babe Ruth of the
International. He said that IL ne
ever sold these players he would give
Mack first crack.
Mack is good enough sport to re-
alize Dunn's position in the matter.
and the pair parted good friends.

COACH APPLE GETS

ny BRYAN MORSE.

Twas the day after Christmas.
which was yesterday, before Wilbur
n. Apple, who directs the destinies OF
athletics at Mckinley High and
coaches all the teams. got what he
considers a real Christmas present. 1t
happened thusly:
The Mohawks and the Metropolitans
gathered at Union Park to stage a
benefit game. The battle was won by
the Mohawks by 90 to o and outside
of some high and lofty debating was
a good contest.
Coach Wilbur NJ. Apple was an Of
ficial in the contest. He was able
from his vantage point to closely OBJ
serve the actions of all the players.
About the middle OF the first quarter
a youngster named Smith went in at
left tackle for the Nets.
Now there are many fans at the in
dependent games. They take great
interest in proceedings. They crowd
almost upon the field. They make re-
marks at and to the players and Of
ficials. They are free with their COM
ments as 1t were.
When Smith appeared upon the
scene he was the subject of COM
ment.
Hey. look at the rainbow
chirped one lad Get in circus.
you don't belong in a football game.
And all because Rainbow" Smith
had on a variegated jersey. 1t looked
like Joseph's coat OF many colors.
Then things happened.
Rainbow" Smith was in every
play. He stopped the Hawks" who
came on his side of the line. He
stopped the Hawks" who hit the
other side OF the line. He literally
messed the Hawks" up until the
feathers few from the Indians head
pics.
Say. boy" said one Hawk" player
to Smith. "Tll hand 1t to you, you
are playing some game"
But Smith Just kept digging in and
splitting play after play. He used his
hands perfectly. He tackled low and
hard. And. moreover, he enjoyed his
work and picked out the runner with
precision.
There were other NETS" working
in the game too. But Smiths work
stood out in fine contrast The
Hawks" gained the upper hand to
be sure because they were in better
condition and better drilled.
When the game was over Coach
Wilbur NJ. Apple walked off the field.
There was n CLEAN in his eye. He
had discovered something. II was a
real Christmas present for him.
Say" he said, did you see that
boy Smith play football? Well, he
goes up to my school. / guess he
won't be out for the Tech team next
