LEE TROT FOB
ROME, Dec. 5.—(By Mail.)— How j
an American salesman tried to sell a i
wooden leg to the queen of Italy un
der the impression that she was a Red i
Cross nurse, was told here today for1
the first time.
C. C. Swain, a -breezy drummer for
an artificial limb maker of Washing
ton, D. C., had been doing his best to
place an order with the hospital com
mittee representing the Italian gov
ernment. Just as he was on the verge
of giving the gentleman up as bad
prospects in came a most charming
black-eyed nurse and Charlie, taking
heart, started all over again for her
benefit.
“It’s all a question of getting used ;
to it,” said Swain. “S£e, I can spin ■
around on mine like a top!” Swain j
suited the action to the word. For
Swain’s best sample was his own left
leg.
The Red Cross nurse was intensely
interested.
Swain unwound every inch of his
line of talk. Over the mysterious
frowns and restlessness of the com
mitteemen he gave her much unsolicit
ed information. He told her of his
climb to the skyscraping dome of St.
Peter’s. If she didn’t believe it, she
could ask the guide who had seen his
performance and had received his
card.
Afterward, he caught up a chair
and danced the “grizzly bear,” gliding
gradually into a “hesitation.” He
ended his dancing spree with a bit of
the “tango.” Apparently amazed and
amused at his stunts, the black-eyed
nurse made her thanks and disap
peared.
The American salesman, thereupon,
turned again to the committee. He
met a thundering storm of wrath.
“Fool! Fool!” roared the chorus of
voices. “Didn’t you know that was
her majesty, Elona, Queen of Italy!”
“Holy Smoke!” sighed Swain. “To
think I had a golden opportunity and
used it like a nickle-plated one.”

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Fred Pol
lard, the negro youth who chopped and
hacked to pieces every means of de
fense that could be devised by Yale
and Harvard, and who stands today as
one of the most remarkable football
players of a decade, is working his
way through Brown university.- Pol
lard runs a little tailor shop, and in
moments when he isn’t humping away
at his studies or hammering down the
field for Brown in football contests,
he presses the students’ suits.
Pollard is only a youngster as a
football player in the bigger colleges,
but already he has pulled a team to
championship classification by his own
efforts.
He chose Brown for his fame mere
ly because it looked better to him than
did several other universities, includ
ing Dartmouth. A brother of Pollard’s
formerly played football at Dart
mouth and Pollard’s inclinations were
first toward the Hanover, N. H.,
school.
As a vindication, it may be noted
that Brown coaches knew nothing of
Pollard’s football ability until he
asked permission to try out one after
noon. They asked him if he ever
played football and he informed them
he had learned a few points about the
game in Chicago, his home. He was
given a uniform, told to get busy, and
the rest is history.
After the Yale game Pollard was
acclaimed the most remarkable half
back who had opposed the Blue, this
year, and when he was turned loose
against Harvard and did the same
thing over again, it was fairly estab
lished that he is one of the greatest
football players the east has ever
seen.
This is Pollard’s second year as a
big league gridiron performer. He
still has a year to menace Harvard,
Yale and other pretentious elevens.
Besides being several men as a foot
ball player Pollard is something of a
track performer, specializing at the
hurdles.
