fering by gifts from religious mis-
sions.

shared by the other morning papers.
The Mail printed this comment on
the kings condition:
I'VE regret to state that hopes en-
tertained two days ago have not
been fulfilled and that up to the
present there has been no progress
toward recovery. 1t Is realized that
the king II engaged in a hard up
hill fight and that his condition IS
being put to severe test.
Long Fight
1.-The general infection persists
and. in the most favorable circnm-
stances. the battle must be OF pro-
longed and anxious nature. The
condition OF anyone at the age of the
king (63 years) suffering from such
an illness must be considered ser
ious."
1t was generally expected by med
ical men that the crisis in the king S
illness might be reached about to-
morrow or Thursday and antil then
no definite opinion could be formed.
Alarm Otsasioned
Some alarm was occasioned out
side the palace when the kings
physicians. Sir Stanley Hewett and
Lord Dawson of Penn. called short
ly before II p. m. They remained
in consultation for a little mort
than an hour and before leaving
issued no further bulletin. Alarm
was allayed when it was learned
that the visit had been arranged by
them early in the evening.
The last official bulletin of the
night, signed by the physicians and
issued at 9 p. m. read:
1.-THE king has not had a com
Portable day. His temperature was
1915 but the pleurisy has not ex-
tended further and his strength is
maintained"
Spread Expected
The physicians in their morning
bulletin said the spread of pleurisy
might be expected and therefore
when they reported that there had
been no such extension this was
considered a favorable sign.
In view of the kings restlessncss
no visitors were allowed in the
royal sickroom during the morning
but the Duke OF York spent short
time with his majesty after lunch.
The tense popular sympathy over
the kings illness was shown by an
audience in one Of the big London
motion picture theaters when a
talking film showed his majesty
opening the new Tyne bridge on
October 10. The audience watched
the picture in silence until close
up Of the king was flashed on the
screen and then the entire crowd
rose spontaneously and stood silent
ly at attention.

the port boats about an hour before
the Vestris went down.
Alfred Duncan. second steward on

tense Of Falcons

Following the trend of wagering
on the outcome of the Falcons Bur
ritts game at ST. Mary's field next
Sunday. It appears that the Burritts
stand the favorites at the present |
time. This is due to the announce |
ment made yesterday that Lefty"
Atwood, star moundsman OF the
Falcon team. will not be with the
club for the first game and that
Johnny Rose, former Burritt slabs
man might draw the pitching as
siEnment for the day.
Followers of the Burritts figure
that Rose will be easy meat for their
team. He Joined the ranks Of famous
twirlers last season while a member
Of the Burritt team by pitching a
no hit, no run contest. Atwood is
laid up and will not be with the
Falcons. This information Is definite
and 1t puts the Falcons In bad hole
from which there appears to be little
recovery.
The Burritts have had a meteoric
career as a sporting club since its
organization In 1924 In the field OF
baseball, the club has been repre-
scented by three teams almost con-
tinually. The team first appeared in
the Junior City league in which the
Junior Falcons we're also entered.
incidentally. many of the present
players on the Burritt team were
former Junior Falcons.
In the seasons Of 1925 and 1927,
the Bur,'itts copied the pennant in

been represented by road team
since 1925 and it has met with un-
