The :, talk of an Episcopal Central
meeting gains favor. Such an en-
gagement would undoubtedly draw
well, would furnish the basis OF a
number Of future struggles OF inter
est and would renew relations which
would make for the best spirit.
The suggestion that the well.
known &C. Club" make the arrange.
ments has been, made. II there is
q chance Sthe contest may become
an actualtty, as it would be an at
traction ranking with the best in
scholastic sections in the country.
Injuries In the high school ranks
have been few this season. As a
matter tof fact with such a host OF
athletes reporting to the coaches the
few humber injured has been re-
nArkaBfet Not weather delayed the
teams coTsiierablyI but within the
past ten days all Of the scholastic
elevens have made rapid strides.
Central and Western came forward
rapidly and in their recent game the
MI. Pleasant. lads Showed that they
had worked on few offensive plays,
but had spent a deal of time in fun
damentals like running down under
punts, blocking, tackling and in
drop kicking and punting.
The declaration has been made
many times that winning scholas-
tic football can be accomplished
with. . good 'punter, a pair of ends
and y strong defense. Years ago
Clarence w. HecOX, who coached
Tech teams, demonstrated this be-
yond question.
Add to this a knowledge of how to
tackle, a. willingness to stand the
gaff and, fairly competent high
school eleven will be turned out. He,
cox had the solution many years ago.
His teams were not possessed OF
fancy formations, or tricks but they
delivered consistently.
It may be of interest to note that
in the recent Western-C Central en-
gagement one youngster was re-
moved, from the game after having
played for three quarters. He strobe
{ to his place on the sidelines and was
not out of breath. He was not per
spring. .>.t;>
And on the sidehnes a veteran OF
high school, engagements many years
ago said, "And the papers will prob
ably cali this a 1ard-fought game. "

FIRE FURNISHES
 EXCITEMENT

Last Sunday a small fire furnished a large amount of excitement for the denizens of Holbrook. It happened about the middle of the af- ternoon while the ball game was in full swing and very nearly all the ball fans rush. ed to the rescue.
 Luckily it was not a resi- dence but merely an old shed in the rear of the Me- Cleve home. The way in which the fire was started still remains a mystery.
 Fortunate as this was in that there was no large loss of property, the fact re- mains there is very great danger in Holbrook in view of the fact that there is so little fire protection. This must be remedied now that we have city water, and the next step is the purchase of adequate hose and attach ments for use on the hy- drants.

ILLNESS OF LENIN
TRACED TO BULLET
FIRED BY WOMAN
Confirms Story of At,
tempt to Kill Russian
Dictator July, 1918.
By FLOYD GIBBONS.

THE HAGUE. June z7.-Europe's
present spasm Of assassination
coupled with the continued reports
of Premier Lenin's ili-health. adds
interest to the story of the at
tempted assassination of the Rus
sian dictator, The unreiiability of
Russian news sources, both white
and Red. have resulted in numer-
Gus conflicting versions
Today I asked a member of the
Soviet delegation for the actual
facts. He stated the case as fol-
lows:
Premier Lenin Is suffering at
present from bullet wounds re-
ceived when he was shot by
woman whose name was Dora Kap-
Ian. She was a social revolutionary
and she was executed for her
crime after she had been found
guilty by revolutionary tribunal
of justice.
Shot In Moscow.
The attempt on M. Lenin's life
occurred in July, 1918, in an cleo
trical factory In an Industrial
suburb of Moscow. It was the
custom at that time for the peoples
commissar to make a public inspec-
tion on Friday afternoon of each
week. 1t was 6 o'clock in the eve
ming when NJ. Lenin stood on a
raised platform in the factory ad-
dressing several thousand workers.
He had just begun his speech
when a woman standing In the
front row below the platform
raised a pistol and fired four
shots. One bullet lodged in NJ.
Lenin's neck and another In his
stomach. Two shots missed
IN. Lenin staggered and fell and
he was carried to a hospital. His
life hung by a thread for two
months. The workmen mobbed the
woman assassin and almost killed
her. She was not a worker in the
factory. but an intellectual belong
ing 70 the social revolutionary
faction opposed to communism.
Beyond Medical Aid.
The story was officially known
throughout Moscow at the time.
Many plots have since been dis
covered for carrying out the same
attempt, but NJ. Lenin has never
been injured again. This is the
true story Of the whole affair"
European is now carrying a
letter recently received from Mos
COW which is as follows:
M. Lenin's case seemed to be
hopeless. The primary cause is
neglected blood disease. Prof.
Borchardt. of Berlin University,
has diagnosed the case as progress
| sive paralysis. He has found
ulcers in the stomach which can
not be healed"

Tho trial of George Cares for the mur-
der on December 32 Of Theresa XII
charski, whose body was found in a
suitcase in tho Hotel Albany here, was
begun to-day before Supreme Court
Justice Bergen. After his plea OF non
Nult, which would have meant life i'm
prisonmcnt. had been refused, Cares
took up his defense.
The prisoner offered the plea him
self, his counsel. John Cohan, who was
assigned TO Garcs's defense by Justice
Bergen, remaining silent Prosecutor
.loscph A. Stricken. arguing for refusal
of the plea. said that lie wanted YER
dict of murder in the first degree, be-
cause he believed that murder. had been
prcmedtated. Even if it had not been
prcmcditatcd, he added, it had been
committed during an assault, which,
under the laws of the State of New
Jersey, called for the death sentence.
The plea was then refused by the court
and the trial proceeded.
DIR. John l.. Suydam, NIiddlesex Coun-
ty physician. testified that stains found
on Gares's clothing following his cap
turc in logging cabin near Davton.

When Cares took tho stand in his
own defense he declared that if he had
been al tho Albany Hotel he did not
know it. On December II he said that
he remembered drinking heavily and
could recall nothing more, EXCEPT that
he wandered about until he was taken
into custody.
The case is expected to go to the
