Hellers, when he made his suspicious visit to Sikl's cor ner, after the fourth round, were read from the screen Wednesday by a Jury of two deaf . mutes: The two men. skilled from long practice in lip read ing, were taken to a showing of the fight pictures by officers of the French boxing federation, which is investigat ing Siki's charge that Carpentier made him promise to lie down in round four1. As neither Carpentier nor Slkl would openly face the charges by testifying before the investigators without first obtaining Impossible concessions from the commission, this means was taken of ascertaining what Descamps. eaid. In dramatic silence the Tf ilm was run very slowly, so that the men could see the motions of Descamp's lips.

His only medicine :was faith. l . ' . . . ; . , Many of the ailments he cured were doubtless Imaginary. However, If a man thinks he is sick he is assuredly not well. ' . , Schlatter was a tremendous sensa tion for several weeks. Thousands wanted to see him. Then he disap peared as suddenly as he came, drift ing off into the desert, i Afterwards many importers : caning themselves Schlatter, popped . up In different-parts of the country, trading on his strange fame. ; The real Schlat ter, probably died soon after Quitting Denver: - . . - . . . : ' .

It was very Important to ' McGraw that Meyers get to hitting again. . He tried to laugh the Indian out - of the theory that the signs affected his bat ting. Meyers persisted in the belief himself. Finally McGraw went to Harry M. Stevens, concessionaire at the Polo grounds, who - controls the advertising privileges on the wall, and asked him to paint out the signs. "I know it is all nonsense. ; Harry, McGraw said. The signs have noth ing to do with his slump. But he thinks he 'can't hit while they are there as as long as he thinks he can't hit, why. he can't, hit. . - Baseball has long had - Its own- pri vate healer, a man called "fBonesetter" Reese.

Whether the Cards will . fight as they did as they always do against California Is problematic -But if the Cards have kept , right on tm- . proving in technical football, and there Is every reason to believe they have, the fight will take care of itself.
