LORD STRATHCONA
DIES £ LONDON
LONDON, Jan. 21.—Lord Strutb
cona died here today as a combined
result of old age and catarrhal ail
ments. The old English lord was 94
years of age and besides being a
prominent politician for years past
in the British House of Lords, was
also one of the most ardent sports
men in England. For years he held
the position of president of the Eng
lish Football Association and was al
so the owner of one of the largest
stables of racing horses in the coun
try. His death is deeply regretted
by all members of the sporting fra
ternity, as well as by his many
friends in English court circles.
