BODY OF DELEHANTY IS FOUND IN THE RIVER | Stockholder in the Washington Club Identifies the Remains of the | Famous Outfielder. BUFFALO, N. Y., July 9—The body found in the river below the falls to-day | was identified at Drummondville this afternoon as that of Ed Delehanty, the | famous outfielder of the Washington | American League team. The body was mangled. One leg was torn off, presum- | ably by the propeller of the Maid of the Mist, near whose landing the body was | found. M. H. Green, a stockholder in the | Washington Club, identified the body by | the teeth, two crippled fingers and the | clothing. The body will be shipped to ‘Washington. Green this morning identified the lug- gage left by Delehanty on the train at the bridge last Thursday night when he was put off. In it was a pass to the Washington grounds, made out to Mrs. Delehanty. In the sleeper on the Michi- gan Central train on the way down from Detroit Delehanty had five drinks of whisky, says Conductor Cole, and he be- came so quarrelsome that he had to be put off the train at Bridgeburg, at the Canadian end of the bridge. After the train had disappeared across the bridge Delehanty started to walk across, which is against the rules. The night watchman attempted to stop him but Delehanty pushed the man to one side. The draw of the bridge had been opened for a boat and the player plunged into the waters of the Niagara. —_———— Tommy Sullivan Gets the Decision. ST.
