GAMEST KD LOSES BATTLE FOR LI “Duke” 0’Connor Succumbs to Hip Infection After Nine-Year Fight. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 20.— “Duke” O'Conner—the gamest kid that ever walked on crutches—is dead. His real name is Stephen J. O'Con- ner, jr., but his friends, including Babe Ruth, Buddy Baer, Dizzy Dean, King Levinsky Lon Yancy, the Hunter brothers, Frank Hawks, Al Williams, Jimmy Doolittle, Jimmy Haizlip and other notables of the sport and avia- sion worlds, always called him “Duke.” Stricken with a hip infection nine years ago the 15-year-old boy contin- uedd his battle for a normal life. He played base ball, hobbling along on crutches. He coached the foot ball team at his parish school. Notables who learned to know “Duke” made frequent visits in attempts to ease his i pain. With his father, Stephen J. O'Con- ner, sr., former newspaper man and now editor of an aviation magazine, he went frequently to the airports here, and was a passenger in many planes flown by the Nation's leading pilots. He died Tuesday night at his home, his fight against the infection futile. CENTER UNIT PLANS STUDIED BY KING District Committee Chairman to Ask Sultan Why Sewage Plan Was Cut.
