KILLED IN MB W. Harvey Cox Met A Tragic End Near Bolton Station. 4. VICTIM WAS A BRAKEMAN Body Caught Beneath Twelve Freight Cart And The Locomotive. Wilmington, Oct: 25. Mr. W. Har vey Cox, a well nown citizen of Wil mington, met a tragic death yester day afternoon at 1 :30 o'clock when a freight train of 37 empty cars was wrecked at Bolton presumably by the spreading of the rails. Mr. Cox was a brakeman on the train, and was riding either on the tender or the front car. The engine and the front cars, 12 til number, were derailed and piled up in a mass of wreckage, and he was thrown beneath the derailed cars. Jim Ryan, the colored fireman, had his back sprained slightly. No others were hurt. The freight was an extra, and left Wilmington about 12 o'clock for Flor ence. Mr. Cox was a brakeman on the train and was riding on the front end. The last person to see htm be fore his death was the agent at Bol ton. The train did not stop at the station, and when about 100 yards be yong the station without warning the engine was turned over half, and 12 of the cars in front were derailed and broken to pieces. Mr. Cox evidently was thrown forward, and the cars were piled on top of him. His body had not been recovered early this morning. As soon as the wreck occurred the Coast Line offices here were notified, and a wrecking train, under the super vision of Supt. V. R. C. King was im ediately sent to the scene, reaching there about 4 o'clock. A wrecking train and crew was also sent from Florence. Train No. 55, for Florence, S. C, which leaves Wilmington at 2:15 o'clock, was detoured via Fay ettcville. The track was sufficiently cleared so that train No. 57, which leaves here at 7 o'clock, was able to get through by using the sidetrack at Bolton. The main line probably will not be cleared up before this morning. All trains, however, will be able to pass through by means of the side track with slight delay. The train was in charge of Conduc tor Leon Hatch, and Mr. Marion Brandt was engineer. Jim Ryan, the colored fireman, had his back slightly sprained by being thrown against the side of the engine. The engineer was uninjured, it is said. Mr. Cox was well known in Wilming ton, having been for 14 years a deputy sheriff in the office of the sheriff here. He was exceedingly popular in a wide circle of friends and it was with deep sorrow that they learned of his tragic death. Expressions of genuine sorrow were heard on every hand. In his 14 years of service in the sheriff's office Mr. Cox became acquainted with hun dreds of people throughout the city and he was held in high esteem and respect by all. About a year and a half ago he took a position with the railroad as brakeman and was confi dent that it would not be long before he was given a place as conductor. He was very popular with his asso ciates on the railroad and they, along with hundreds of other friends, are griqved at his death. Mr. Cox was about 45 years old and was twice married. Surviving are his second wife, Mrs. Lydia Walker Cox, who Lves at 815 North Fifth streetm and one son, Mr. Floyd Cox, who lives at 717 North Fourth street. Be sides these he leaves his mother, who lives at Verona; a half brother, Mr. Henry Sandlin, also of Verona, and one brother, Mr. Ira Cox, of Durham. They will have the tender sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. I MRS. RICHARD V. NEGLEY Mrs. Richard V.

SgM HrT YALE MAKES CHANGES Jones and Queal Start Work In Football and Crots-Country. Preparation for Present Season Moat Elaborate In Hlatory of College Little Change Looked for In Rowing Policy. Two changes la Yale's poaching sys tem went Into effect with the report ing o( fail tquada for athleOo train ing. In both football and cross-conn try work permanent paid coaches have been Installed. In football. Howard Jones, the new permanent coach, has many players at Nantucket, and in cross-country running, Billy Queal, the professional champion, has most of the prominent candidates for the dis tance team daily working out over the hills near hit home In New York atate. The need of a revision tn both the football and cross-country teams' training has been teen by the new resident coaches, and the preparation for the preaent leaaon la the moat elaborate In the hlatory of the two porta at Tale. Yale has not heretofore installed a permanent coaoh In either of these sports. In football a head Held coaoh, changed from year to year, hat been named and no continuity In system hat been secured. In cross-country work, John Mack, the track athletic team coaoh, has had charge, but hit duties aa football team trainer and aa track coach have prevented hit giving much attention to the cross-country fall season. Un der Quest's coaching Yale distance men last spring made the beat show ing In the lntercolleglatea In years, and It la now felt that there will be a chance for a Yale victory In the cross country team run this fail. Yale has re-elected two captains of losing athletlo teams for another sea son, "Bud" Bnowden of the crew and "Jack" Blossom of the baseball nine. Blossom waa a member of the junior class last season, but waa completely upaet by losing the Harvard series and consequent ohamplonshlp, and stated that he would not return next year, although re-elected captain. He has changed his mind and will set the squad to work toon after college opena. In two week. He will reap point aa hit coaches Frank Qulnby, who has been coach for two years, and Bernie Tommers, who had charge of the pitchers last season. Yale has had wonderful material the past two seasons, and the aame nine that swept everything before it In the early games last spring will return, with hardly an exception, for another year. Captain Bnowden has not indicated his coaching plans, but It la under stood that another trial of the English ttroke will be made. Bnowden hat been In Europe the paat summer, and one report la to the effect that an Eng lish coach will come here this fall to spend the entire season In drilling the crews. Little change It looked for In the Yale rowing policy because of the fact that Bnowden was committed thor oughly to the English system of coach ing laat year, and It la thought that little change will be made In hit ad visers, the committee which shaped Yale'a policy last year. Prominent among them are AverUl Harrlman of New York cRy; Fred Allen of Boa ton, chairman of the committee; Payne Whitney of New York city, and Alfred Cowlea of Chicago. Harrlman waa an undergraduate and waa head coach last year. It la not expected that he can give time for continuous coaching here because of bis duties in connection with the Harrlman estate, of which he la one of three helra. IRON MASK MAKES 6 FURLONGS IN 1:104-5 Iron Mask, by Disguise Boyal Roae, had to break the world'a record for six furlongs on a cir cular track to defeat Lsochsret In the first race of the 11-day meet ing which opened at Douglas park, Louisville, Ky.

Meyer waa the only other starter. Iron If aak la owned by Jefferson Livingston, of Cincinnati, and la five years old. Pitchers' Duel. Ray Collins, with Boston, aud Wal ter Johnson of Washington have matched their cunning In four cham pionship games this season. Bach has resulted In a shut-out and both hurl ers have won two games apiece. The Collins-Johnaon pitching duel started April 23 when Washington won I to 0. Decoration day Collins took hut re venge, winning over the Danish Disas ter by a 1 to 0 score. The two met sgaln on July t, Washington taking the game after IS Innings of. play. Score, 1 to 0.

CHANGE IN FOOTBALL CODE Rule on Onslde Kick It Revised In Conference Held In New York Action Regarding Officials. The entire code of football rules in effect for this season's plays waa dis cussed, dissected and interpreted at a gathering of more than one hundred football coaches, team managers and officials of the game In New York re cently. It waa the annual Interpreta tion meeting of the Intercollegiate football rules committee and the cen tral board of officials. The only rule that met objection waa Rule 80, and to this an addition waa made which will be Incorporated In the final version. It haa to do with the privileges of players In making an onslde kick. The addition will permit players behind a player making an onslde kick to enjoy an equal right with men of the opposing team to go after the kicked ball. They may not Interfere with players on the opposing aide In their attempts to catch the Dr. James a. Babbitt, chairman of the central board, announced that the Mat of officials for the season now completed would ahow an improve ment over previous seasons. Corres pondence with the leading colleges had shown, he said, that the list of twenty or thirty officials each preferred largely coincided. Since this prefer ence for a limited number of officials waa so generally ahown and since the list of officials in recent years has become overburdened, It was the pur pose to reduce tt and try to bring the officials for whom prefernce haa been Indicated by the colleges In general Into greater use. Baseball as a Business. Thirty million to a minimum esti mate of the fans who see baseball in a year's time. There are U leagues tn organised ball. All have from six to eight clubs. They average 180 games a season, with from 150,000 to 800,000 aa a daily attendance. The New York Giants alone played to 7(0,000 last sea son; 850,000 saw the eight world's series games laat year. One New York paper estimated that It sold 100, 000 dally extras during the big series. Begins Work on Basebsll College. Ex-Manager Charlea C. Carr of the Kansas City, American association, team, will soon begin the working out of bis plana for the establishment of a school of baseball at San Antonio, Tax, which he will open next spring.

FRANK G0TCH AGAIN RETIRES World'a Champion Wrestler Will Nev er Return to Mat No Man Can Win on Forever. Frank Ootch, world's ohamplon wrestler, who ownt more than 8,000 acres of ground In Minnesota, says he will wrestle no more. "I have had my last turn on the mat. I'm thirty-six years old, nearly thirty-seven, and with 15 years In the game I've had enough. When a man gets past thirty he's like a house that a carpenter finishes. As soon at completely built, the house be- Frank Qotch. gins to deteriorate. I know more about wrestling now than at any time In my life, but each year takes away more endurance. I'm not afraid of any man In the country now, but the people have teen me at my beat and don't want me to 'come back.' No man can go on and win forever." Move Against Baseball Spikes. I The long list of accidents to the 1 baseball players of the Toronto Inter national league team this season haa moved President McCafferty to drattlo action. He will suggest that the cluba of the organisation each hold a meet ing and appoint one delegate to attend a meeting In the offices of President Barrow to discuss the adoption of dif ferent spikes from those now general ly used on the shoes of the players. Mr. McCafferty haa offered to try la crosse apikea, which are of hard rub ber. They Can't Ring Him. George Bell, with St Joe, in the Western, haa a record of winning 81 straight games this year. He pitched II while In the Wisconsin league and was recalled by the Saints, where he added two more to his string. This gives him second place among the pitchers of all time, so far as this feat Is concerned. In 1886 the records show that some twlrler pitched 88 games for the win column. Hat Two More McLoughllna. Secretary Rouss, of the Pacific Coast Lawn Tennis association, says that there are two boys on the coast who in time will take the place of prea ent champion McLoughlln. Roberta and Davis are the two youngsters, the former fifteen years old and the lat ter teventeen years of age. Griffin a Beaten Champ. Clarence J.

"When I waa thirty-three years old I waa running a boat to Coney Island. On one occasion. In the lower bay, fog settled down thicker than mush. I held a compass course and everything went smoothly enough until It waa al most time to change the course and head from the bay toward Coney. I had heard a boat by Its whistle I knew It waa a towing tug paas me further up the bay. "Even though I could not aee the bow of my boat I waa hanging with my head out of the pilot house win dow and straining my eyes to see, when my quartermaster, who waa standing on the very peak of the bow, called for me to reverse. I rang for full speed astern and threw the wheel hard to port "The fog lifted for an Instant and dead ahead of me I saw a scow with 'Dynamite written on Its aide and a red flag floating above it. I kept the wheel hard over and It seemed to me the engineer waa an eternity in get ting the engine reversed. We Just grazed the scow. I learned afterward that It had been In tow of a tug and that the hawser broke and the tug crew had lost sight of the scow In the fog. "When I got home that night my wife pointed out a gray hair the first I had ever had. "In all my experience Tve never had a serious accident, bat as yon see I have a head full of gray hairs caused by things that almost hap pened." M'COY KNEW HUMAN NATURE Explaining How the Pugilist Waa Able to Oat His Csr Through Jam Where Others Palled. Kid McCoy drove down In his large, shiny motor. A friend accompanied him. Coming up the avenue waa a flock of hooting cars. It seemed Im possible tor McCoy to find a way through. . "Let's turn down a side street. Kid," said the friend. "Well make by It" "Watch me," said McCoy He turned hit head to one aide, and looked Into the eyes of the alarmed friend. He drove his oar right at the approaching covey. Their drivers set up a quacking like a lot of frightened ducks. McCoy drove on, without look ing at the road ahead. All the other cars pulled to one side and made way for him. As he passed, all the other driven leaned out of their cars to make injurious comment upon Mr. McCoy. "Get your bluff In first," said McCoy. "That's the rule in lite that appUes to motoring as well as to fighting. If I'd dropped back and honked timidly ev ery one of those guys would have crowded me a little farther Into the curb. Because they thought I was a careless, rockiest, Bflat mushhead, who'd as lief have an accident aa not, they gave me the right of way." -New York Times. Abbreviation Gone Mad. There are people tn this country who have so much respect for Its gov ernment and institutions that they al most consider those guilty of treason who spell the capital of the country "W-a-s-h." it Is all they can do to restrain themselves when they get a letter dated "Wash., D. c." They would Just as soon see one addressed to "Boa, Mass.," although Bait, Md or Phlla., Pa., does not offend so much. Nobody but a human sloth would think of writing on his envelope "Chic, Dl," or "Buff, N. T." Yet the practice of unauthorised contraction haa grown to such an extent that it Is high time that business houses lay down the tow, aa found In the hack part of nearly any dictionary, against the practice. And If you follow the feelings of the purists In spelling, you'd dock the man or woman a whole day's pay who to so utterly dead to patriotic Instincts aa to address a letter to "Wash., D. C." Wall Street Journal. Upstairs Backward. Walking upstairs backward to urged by a London physician as a useful practice In cases of heart weakness and aa helping tn a more equal dis tribution of muscular wear and tear. "Firstly and most Important," he says, "walking upstairs backward would prevent any tendenoy to hurry. No matter how Inveterate a 'stair rush' a man might be, ha would have to moderate his paoa tt going back ward. This enforced deliberation would, of course, be of great value In heart dlseasa The second effect would be to relieve the strain from the ordi nary walking and climbing muclee (those on the front of the thigh) and to press Into service those on the back of the lag, whloh ordinarily do no work In climbing stairs.
