CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-It was
in the wide open spaces of
which this metropolis of the
Midwest is part that the now
famous "shell game" originated.
and we are not so sure that one
of the greatest chapters Of that
elusive pastime is not to be
written here in the Tunney-
Dempsey nuptials.
In the shell game, as it is
popularity understood, there are
two shells and one little pea.
The game is to guess under
which she'll the pea reposes, and
the explanation of it all is that
the hand is quicker than the
eye. The pea in this case is,
Of course, the title.

In this Dempsey-Tunney busi-

Deep River. Nov. ' P}-Although the Connecticut river was today within three inches of the record cs- tablished in 1854 when the rise was % feet at this point, conditions were rot as bad here as in many other Connecticut cities where the rise was less.
 Manufacturing proceeded despite the flood and the town lighting and phone system weathered the waters. The river however is still rising and the danger is not yet passed.
 The docks and railroad tracks are under water and transportation and moving of freight either by boat or train is out of the question for the present.
 Although many houses were flooded and the damage to property and materials severe. none of the town residents have been marooned nor has there been any reports of buildings being undermined by the waters.

Man in Tub Falls Unconscious While Trying to Don Clothes
 But Is Rescued

Overcome by gas while he was bathing about o'clock yesterday morning at his home, Stanley Buck owski of G9 Clinton street. aged about 30, might have died but for the fact that members of his fam fly became alarmed at his failure to finish his bath in the time they an- ticipated.
 Officers II. C. Lyon, W. S. Strolls and T. C. Dolan responded 10 8 call for the pulmotor about 7:S0 o'clock and found that Buckowski was in the tub in small room in which there Is a gas heater and little ven tilation, and as he felt himself being overcome he tried to dress himself, but could not reach his clothes. He remembered nothing further until he was aroused by the policemen.
 It Is believed that the lack Of ventilation In the room caused the oxygen to be consumed by the burn ing of the gas in the heater. The police learned that BuckoWskls $ younger brother had the same ex- perience some time ago while bath ing in the same room under those conditions.
