Yesterday afternoon ut 2 o'clock he ate a hearty dinner but did not feel any 111 effects till about 3 In- the afternoon. Later he went to bed and save for a short vinie when he got up to have his bed remade, never got up again. Upon his returning to bis resting place and without the least warning and apparently little struggling, he died before he could even say a word of farewell.

The re-election of Sweet brought forth explanation of several of his acts last year. He said yesterday that he was lenient with players In the matter of suspension and fines, but would be more stringent this year, adding that he feared to use hammer and tongs-last year on ac count of the welfare of the club. He evidently did not consider that phase of It. however, in his notorious Hap Smith decison of last summer and copious others. However, the chances are that Sweet will administer the administrative rule with the same severity on all club In the league this year.
