Y., Feb. 11—(P)— There was tension, in the air today and a hint of foreboding, a premoni- tion of disaster, as the winter Olym- pics entered the final stage, where tke danger of death or grave injury o® the jagged sides of Mount Van Hoevenberg transcended the nerve- wracking exhilaration of the Olympic bob sleigh campionship. The first half of the competition treacherous mile and a half sweep through ice banks and dizzying hair- pin turns, zigzag and cross overs, stood humiliated, its dangers scorned and spurned by riders who slashed its sleds at dizzying speeds of 65 and 70 miles an hour to set records that 48 hours ago were considered, not only an impossibility, but absolutely in- sanity. There has been a universal feeling among the steel nerved international sportsmen who drive these 500 pound meteors at such speeds down the ice chute on the mountainside that the luck of the riders, which has been good since eight Germans crashed within two days in practice, sending six to the hospital, two in critical con- dition, would end before these races were over and that grim Mount Van Hoevenberg would take its tool again. The feeling nearly faded out Wed- nesday as Hubert Stevens, as iron- thewed and frosty-nerved a giant as lever piloted a sled, whipped disdain- fully through such paralyzing ob- stacles as, “whiteface,” “cliffside,” “shady corner,” and “zigzag,” to literally fly down the mile and a half stretch first in 1:59.69 seconds, then in 1:57.68 to win and to set a |charged to football, two were caused ;by pneumonia, one by infantile par- talysis, one by kidney disease, one by appendicitis, one by typhoid fever, six by infections and one by heart dis- iease. One boy was injured while |wrestling, another was struck by a truck. One boy was found alive and well, and another who was reported dead was found never to have exist- ed. The 22 who died following actual participation in footbali games were classified as seven college players, seven from high schools, and eight “sand lot” or unorganized players. Causes of death were given as fol- lows: Fracture of cervical vertebrae, eight; cerebral hemorrhage, four; peritonitis, four; coronary embolism, fracture of skull, ruptured spleen, concussion of brain, one each. Two deaths were from unknown causes. Yost drew the following conclu- sions: “(1 That the number of fatal in- | Juries is in inverse proportion to the jdegree of coaching, training and medical supervision exercised. “(2) That apparently it is more |dangerous to play on the defense |than on the offense. “(3) That the most frequent cause of death is fracture of cervical verte- brae. “(4) That fatal injuries occur principally as the result of players being struck on neck, head or abdo- men by the hard fibre thigh guards, two-man bob sled record that should last for many years.

He came to Chicago for a final con- ference with the front officers before leading the vanguard of his Cubs to their Santa Catalina Island, Calif., training camp. William Wrigley, Sr., the man who gave Hornsby about two years to pilot the Cubs to world’s baseball cham- pionship after releasing Manager Joe McCarthy late in 1930, is gone but it is common knowledge much is ex- approaching . elder Wrigley is dead, the Cub direc- tors are more determined than ever to achieve his ambition of a world's title—and quickly as possible. ‘That Hornsby is in for a real test this coming season is certain. His 1932 roster is loaded with many prom- ising rookies but only two established major league stars are additions to the staff—Burleigh Grimes, who was obtained in the celebrated Hack Wil- son-Bud Teachout deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, and outfielder Lance Richbourg, the former fly hawk of the Boston Braves. Of these, Grimes is very much of a question mark with his ageing arm although he is certain to lend steadiness that has been missing on the Cub pitching staff for ars, Five promising rookies have been added to the “Rajah’s” pitching staff during the rush on the winter player market but, like every major league manager without too much optimism, he would be pleased to obtain one star regular from the lot. One of them, Buck Newsom, drafted from the Little Rock, Ark., Southern Asso- ciation club, already was a casual. Newsom advised yesterday he would be out of the game for at least two months. Hornsby, himself, was the most perplexing problem of the Cub infield and batting attack. If his Achilles heel, which destroyed most of his use- fulness as a player last season, doesn’t bother him, he undoubtedly will be in there with the big punch; if it i (Continued from page One) They were, as anyone except Molly Rossiter would admit, scrupu- lously fair. Charles’ share of the | Harmstead estate had been settled upon him at once. The condition was that he leave England. His father and mother had refused to meet his bride. And Charles Rossi- ter, stiff-necked with pride, had been glad enough then to leave Eng- land. He had come to America and never gone back. He had often longed for England, but no one of his brothers and sisters had ever learned that. No one of them had shown the slightest interest in what he might have been thinking dur ing those long years of exile. No one of them except his youngest sister, Myra, for whom his own eld- est daughter was natned, had shown in the years following his death any recognition of the fact that he had left a family. His sister, Myra, perhaps held back by the Pressure of her brothers and sis- ters, had never seen any member of his small family but she did from time to time send boxes of clothing, discarded by her own | daughters, eee ON that August morning Charles , Rossiter had been dead 12 ‘years, His death took place three |days before his only son was born.

She was still there, : As she walked to the kitchen she wondered a little hopelessly if she would always be there. , When she entered the small, heated room where the blue-checked linoleum had long since retreated into the corners, her mother turned from the stove. Molly's pretty, fading face was flushed and set in lines of determination. Ellen sighed again. She was afraid that her mother had hit upon another disastrous scheme which would make them. all rich. Myra was seated at s chippped porcelain table, her chin resting upon her elbows, the morning news- paper spread out before her. Her head, with its smooth braids of hair, lighter and less warmly col- ored than Ellen's, was bent over the society columns. But her mouth was set and mutin: ¢: and it was Plain she did not really see the printed words.

Myra looked up quickly at that. “We haven't decided anything, mother,” she interrupted in her long-suffering voice. “You only sug> gested—” Both of them looked toward El- len, Ellen crossed to the stove, relieved her mother of the eggs and began to beat with furious energy so that the yellow foam leaped up the blue sides of the bowl. Molly had been ready to pour them into the skillet. ; Ellen was the natural cook of the household. Molly's cooking was always overdone or underdone and invariably too highly seasoned. Myra, perhaps in compensation for her mother’s lavish hand, never seasoned enough. Whatever she sent to the table came with the slightly indefinite taste common to second-rate hotels. eee shal the strained silence, Elien add- ed to the omelet a few grains of Depper, a great deal of salt and a dash of paprika for the looks of the thing. She walked to the win- dow to take parsley, chopped the night before, from a box-like con- trivance suspended outside and serving as a refrigerator. “Now what is it?” she asked the combatants, as she sprayed in the crisp green sprigs of parsley and Poured the golden fluff into the hot skillet, Molly arid Myra Rossiter spoke simultaneously. “Mother spent half the rent money yesterday buying things for Mike that he doesn’t need,” Myra said. “And now she had an {dea for you. You're to make up the money working evenings.” “The things were on sale,” Molly explained eagerly. “Two pair of pants for what I usually have to pay for just one. I saved so much on them that I thought I could splurge a little. So I bought him some books he’s been wanting for ever so long and a new cap and some underwear.” She added de- fensively, “You wouldn't want Mike to go shabby, would you?” Ellen tested the omelet and low. ered the flame beneath it. She turned off two flames which had | bere J burning needlessly before she spol “No, I wouldn't,” she said pa- , tlently. “But how are we going to pay the rent? Tomorrow is Sat- urday, but we already owe the grocer nearly all my salary. And Myra’s isn’t due for 10 days yet.” She did not suggest that the suit which Mike bad not really needed would deprive her of a business dress which she did need. “That's just it,” Molly crowed, seizing the chance, “I have: a marvelous idea for you.

Johnston said he was negotiating with the sof three of the greatest lightweights and welter- weights in the game for bouts with Petrolle in the next few months. They are Bat Battalino, former feather- weight eed ‘Tony eget oird thtweight champion, i Pitan holder of the welterweight crown. Johnston hopes first to match Pe- trolle with Fields and has been ne- gotiating with Jack Kearns, manager of the welter king. Jack Hurley, who pilots Petrolle, prefers to take on Battalino first. Dempsey to Fight Akron Rubber Man Manassa Mauler and K. 0. Christner Billed Over Four-Round Route Cleveland, Feb, 11.—()—Another of Jack Dempsey’s barnstorming bouts will top off a fight card here tonight, with K. O. Christner of Ak- ron as his opponent. Although the Manassa mauler was the favorite to win, Christner, the “Akron rubber man,” will be a dan- gerous opponent for the four-round go. Dempsey admitted it’s a long road back from the championship he lost to Gene Tunney in 1926, but said he is showing steady improvement ih re- cent ring appearances and hopes ta “ able to “challenge the best of them ys ” Christner’s chief asset will be his known ability to soak up punches and come back for more, and there will be the possibility, of course, he may slip over some good blows for his own score. The former champion will weigh about 195 and Christner will tip the ‘scales around 204. SETS RECORD Chicago, Feb. 11—(?)—When Ur- ban “Red” Faver first started to toss baseballs, the Sages of Cascade, Ia. advised him not to jump around from job to job too much. So “Red” took the advice to heart. Thursday, he turned in his signed contract for his nineteenth straight season as pitch- er for the White Sox, a club record. Egg-Producing Marks Are Raised in State An average increase of over 40 eggs per hen was made in 1931 over 1930 by North Dakota poultry raisers who cooperated with the Agricultural col- lege in keeping records and improv- ing their flocks. According to a summary for the last year prepared by the extension serv- ice, the average number of eggs laid by hens in these flocks was 135.3, com- pared with 99 eggs the year before. A milder winter is believed partly re- sponsible for the advance. The leading flock increased its average production by more than 70 eggs per hen. Four flocks produced more eggs per hen than that of the highest flock on the list in 1930, and only five flocks produced less than the average for all the flocks the year Previous. A reduction in the feed cost per hen from $1.34 to 86 cents also was accomplished. The best record for the year was made by N. L. Stavee, Cavalier coun- ty, with a flock of 183 single comb White Leghorns. His hens averaged 215.5 eggs each, and gave him a to- tal flock ‘income of $750. Other good records for the year were made by Adam Wysocki, Walsh county and G. A. Stillman, McLean county. —_________H4. l Stickler Solution | 4 2 3 <h § 6. it often on her way to work.
