noon.
The forecast is for fair and cool
weather tonight and increasing
cloudiness and rising temperature

Monday afternoon rain and bright
sunshine alternated to such an ex-
tent that the good folk of the city
hardly knew when to step out wear
ing straw toppieces and when to
take the family umbrella. The
weather. bureau recorded "a of an
inch oflrain during the alternating
process.

The unpretentious little home Of
the Parkers was locked today.
In the rear yard, scattered about a
cot under little tent, are the toy au-
tomobiles, horns and other play
things Of the children, now father
less.
The struggle for a living will be
hard for Mrs. Parker, with the hus'
band who had provided for the fam
lily dead, relatives said. He had car
ried only a small amount of insur-
ance.
The automobile, which stalled on
the crossing was to be exchanged for
a new car, as the family had set
forth upon an errand to inspect an
other automobile when the accident
occurred, according to Miss ffannar.

Three other children who did not

Mrs. Parker said they heard no
warning whistle or bell as they
neared the crossing.
fI<looked to the side and saw the
big engine right on top of us; then
there was a terrible crash she said.
THAT'S all 1 remember until 1 re

Thee Speed of &the train was .un-

Altogether they were in the Of

His mind fhazy and his body in
weakened condition, Andy Miller, ",
lay in bed at city hospital today,
not knowing just what his next
move would be. But his faith was
mistaken.
Just trust in Cod he said. HE
brought me all the way from
Kansas to this city and placed me
inNthe hands of friends"
Miller's Journey from Kansas, on
foot, interrupted here, had as its
objective the home of his cousin,
Theophies Miller, who lives on the
Junietta River, about four miles east
of Newport, Pa, according to the
feeble patient. His first wife dead,
and deserted by his second wife,
only relative of whom he knows.
Authorities were expected to try to
get in touch with the cousin. Miller
was taken to the hospital Saturday
in an exhausted condition, after he
had been found at E. Washington
ST. and Butler Ave. by Motorpolice-
men Graham and Metivier.
Strange Story
The old man related a strange
story of his life during the last eight
years.
II left Pennsylvania. about eight
years ago with my wife and we
went to Peabody, Kanp - Miller re-
lated,
II don't know exactly where we
lived in the East but it was some
where on the Junietta River near
Newport. My wife died in Dodge
City, Kan. while 1 was working
on the Sante Fe Railroad, about
three years after we left Pennsyl-
vania.
81 couldn't keep up the hard
work on the road and so 1 rented a
farm just south of the city and took
up the work I had left off in Penn
sylvania.
II met a nice woman in the city
about two years later and she was
lonely. so we got married that
month.

rivals.
Tildens downfall was the climax,
not only of the most disastrous sea-
son he has experienced since reach
ing the heights but was a final toucn
to the decline begun last Saturday
when he twisted a knee during the
Davis cup match he lost to Rene
La Coste The necessity of favoring
this knee affected Tilden's game
throughout the early rounds of the
tournament but it played little if any
part in his defeat today. None uf
his old dash or agility was missing
when it came to the pinch and 10
critics there was no doubt that
Cochets marvellous stroBing, his
clever mixture of shots and unfail-
ing steadiness at critical moments
decided the battle.
Today's was Tilden's eight defeat
of 1926, four each coming at the
hands of American and French rivals.
Richards, with three, and La Coste
with two victories, top the list, with
one each to the credit of Cochet,

Johnstol.'s defeat marked the first
time he has ever lost to French

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. 16.-
William T. Tilden, II, king of Amer
ican tennis for six straight years,
was toppled from his throne today by
a STRIPPING from France in as sem
sational a struggle as any national
championship tournament has ever
witnessed Henri Cochet, "a year
old French star who was not con-
sidercd formidable enough to play
for his country in the Davis cup
singles, accomplished the downfall Of
the famous titleholder in five sets
after spectacular, ulse-stirring bat
tie that was in doubt until it's clos
ing moments. The scores were 6-S,
6-1, 6-3,i 1-6, S-6.
A crowd of more than 10000 spec
tators in the big West Side clubs
stadium had hardly recovered from
the shock of Tilden's defeat when
another flashing French racquet
stepped to the fore to eliminate VIM.
M Johnston, the veteran little Cali
fornian who has been the cham
pion's foremost rival and his part
ner in Davis cup triumphs over seven
straight seasons. Jean Borotra, the
colorful ''bounding basque" and hold
er of the Wimbledon championship
brought about the days upset with
a smashing rally that carried him to
victory over the firing Johnson in
five sets, decided by scores of 3-6,
As, 6-8, GA, GA.
Altogether it was as dark and
gloomy day as American tennis
ever has known, for Rene La Coste,
third of the major French threats,
forged his way to the semi-finals
by overcoming the United States
Davis cup captain, Richard Norris
Williams, in straight sets, 60. 6-3,
8-6
Vincent Richards, youngest of
Americas big four was the only
one of the quartet to escape defeat
in the French onslaught and now
stands out as Uncle Sans sole hope Of
keeping the national tennis title on
homeshores The convincing manner
in which Richards disposed of JAS
qhes. Brugnof, however, sat 6-2, 6-1
6-2, convinced observers that he is
at the top of his game for the fight
against the French invasion.
Tomorrow Richards faces Borotra,
Johnston's conqueror, in one semi
final, while La Coste and Cochet bat

Only once before, in 1903, when it
was captured by the British crack,
Hugh Doherty, has Americas pre-
mier tents crown passed to foreign
hands. Never before, however, has
it faced as strong challenge, in
numbers or ability, as it does now.

injured, he stepped into the breach in
a most satisfactory manner. At the
time, Dugan was playing the game Of
his career and batting around 400.
With Gazella in the lineup, the Yam
KEGS started to win and they didn'
stop until the club had piled up 16
straight victories.
Even though Dugan with fat bat
ting average had recovered long be-
fore the streak was ended, Manager
Huggins, following baseball precedent,
refused to break up a winning combi-
nation and left Gazella in charge of
third.
When Shortstop Mark Koenig was
forced out of the game because of in
juries, Gazella stepped in at that posi- :
tion and performed most efficiently.
On a number of occasions he has
served as q pinch-hitter and delivered
with great frequency. His speed has
also been made use of as a substitute
runner.

A mere substitute often proves the
man of the hour in the pinch.
In the success that has been the por-
tion of the New York Yankees this
year, one Mike Gazella has played a
most important role.
Three or four years back, Mike Ca
zella was the big noise at Lafayette.
He starred in football as well as base
ball. Many of the critics picked him
as one of their All-America backfield.
The New York Americans grabbed
him for his baseball ability and while
Mike did well enough in the field he
didn't cause the pitchers much worry.
Shifted to the minors for a season
or two, he came back to the Yanks as
ready. Although Mike isn't listed as a
regular, he has done yeoman service
for the cause of Miller Huggins and

EARNED HIS SHARE

Regardless of where the New YORK
Americans finish this year, Gazella will
have richly earned his share of what
ever. prize money the Yankees win.
Mixes football ability and the ex-
perience he gained at Lafayette, have
helped him considerably as an infielder.
That may sound rather strange.
Gabella is far from giant, yet he
is stockily built and is much bigger
than he looks in a baseball uniform.
