POISON SUPPLY IS
FOUND At COLLEGE
STRYCHNINE MYSTERY AT STATE
UNIVERSITY is CAUSING
INVESTIGATION
Suspicion Points to Some Unknown
intellectual Type; 60

Questioned

Columbus, GA new bottle O.
strychnine, the presence Of which
was unknown, was discovered by
Dean Clair A. Dye of the college Of
pharmacy at Ohio State university
in recheck of the dispensary stock
The bottle contained perhaps seventy
five grains of the poison.
DR.. Dye, unable to sleep because of
the worry occasioned by the death
Of two students, one of whom is known
to have died of strychnine poison
ing, returned to the dispensary short
ly after midnight and rechecked the
entire stock. On shelf out of sight
in corner he found the half filled
bottle of strychnine.
How or when the poison got there
DR.. Dye does not know. He has been
connected with the college of phar-
macy for more than thirty years and
he says that he has no recollection
OF ever having seen any such bottle
of strychnine before.
Science was called upon to unravel
the mysteries of its own teachings
and furnish a solution to the doing
out of death-laden connections to uni
versity students who sought higher
learning in it's branches.
Police and learned professors are
faced not only with determining the
cause for the death of the two stu
dents an sudden and mysterious ill
ness of half dozen others, but must
find motive for crime if it is found
that poison capsules were intention
ally administered to the victims.
Analysis has revealed that strych-
nine caused illness of some of the
students and traces of the deadly
poison were found in the vital organs
Of one who died.
Possessed with these facts, the au-
thorities have begun search for a
youthful intellectual" of the Leo
pold-Loeb type, who might have kill
ed for the joy of killing; who calm
ly administered poison to determine
it's effect.
There is no motive, officials agree
Sixty students in the medicinal de-
partment are to be questioned, but
little hope is held that any worth
while information will be gained. Po-
lice believe that a person possessed
If learning as to administer the pois
On would be artful enough to evade
questions.
Suspicion is directed toward no one,
police and university officials insist.
This case has not advanced to that
tage. m s...t

SURE OF A. A. FLAG
BY JOHN Is. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, August 10.-The race
for the American Association cham
pionship is all but settled. Nothing
short of base ball cyclone can take
the pennant from Louisville.
That is quite a blow to the league
as whole. The other clubs hoped
to keep the race at fever heat well
into September, any how so as TO
keep the gate receipts up.
The league has been famous for
close races, but it's IA case of also
rams for this season.
New Orleans gained a little in the
Southern Association during the past
week, vet the team is being given
great race to win the pennant
With percentage that hoyers
around $50, no team can be said 10
have anything safely up it's sleeve,
especially when the tail-end team is
high up in the upper four hundreds.
New Orleans looks good. however, be-
cause it has been able TO maintain
quite a little gap between its figures
and those Of the closest pursuers.
In the second half of the Texas
Leagues artifcially bisected season
Houston is giving Fort Worth race.
Dallas, too, is making a better show
ing than it did in the first half Yet
there is little sympathy for the op-
position 10 Fort w Ofln OuISIue oI
Texas. for the league as a, whole
pulled it's old trick of splitting the
season when it appeared that Fort
Worth was sure to win.
In the International League the
other teams gave Baltimore many a
stiff engagement during the past
week, but Baltimore gained on them
despite that. Toronto seems to be
the only club in the circuit that has
chance of beating Baltimore out
for the championship, and the chance
in that case is pretty small one.
The week end saw Hartford KICK
over the apple cart in the Eastern
League, that club skipping over
Waterbury while Waterbury was
skipping over New Haven
out West, Denver and San Fran
cisco are steadily advancing toward
the goal in their respective leagues,
the Western and the Pacific Coast.
In the New York-Penna. circuit
York still hangs on to the lead, but
the tail-end Scranton team has per
centage of 453, and no one can fore
cast the result of a race like that.

The Harps are stepping along at a
great rate, and yesterday made ii four
victories in as many starts by bump
ing the Aloysius team, 8 TO 3. After
getting good start. the Shamrock
team was headed by the Alloys, but in
the eighth inning a four-run rally
decided the issue.
Both Lefty kuhnert, Harp hurler.
and his support were unsteady in the
early part of the fray. and the Alloys
at the end of the fifth frame were
run to the good. Then Kuhnert tight
ened. while Wesley Mcdonald. Alloy

fate, left the scene in the eighth. when
his infield faltered Gene Brayton FIN
ished the game for the Aloysians but
could not check the Harp onslaught.

the National Circles. Mclean of the

is likely 10 be a change of tactics n
trying out of possible new material
for next years race. 1t is a long, long
time since the Giants have had TO do
much of that. For four years in sue
cession they have come down the
stretch ahead, but not with enough
of a lead to warrant much experiment
ing.
Many years ago the Giants had a
championship won early in Septem-
ber and for more than two weeks
about all they did was experiment.
That was a queer season for New
York. Once the pennant was won
the fans checked the Polo Grounds off
their list and the old situation pre-
vailed of a championship team play
ing day after day to almost empty
stands. 1t cost the club lot Of money.
but the mana cement profited hugely
by the opportunity TO learn just what
ii had in the way Of material on
which it could fall back.
If the Pittsburghs should clean up
this present series with the Giants
and start East with the gain that
such a side-swipe would mean 10
them. the Giants would find them
selves so much on the defensive that
little short of a miracle could bring
them back.
But If that happens-watch Cincin-
natl go after Pittsburgh. The Reds
started off this Spring fun Of conf
dence that they could beat the Giants:
maybe they'll be able TO beat Pitts
burgh too.
