CHAMPION HARD LUCK BOY

Seventeen-Year-Old Warren Lad Seems to Be Pursued by Evil Genius.

Warren, Pa.—Raymond Pierce, aged seventeen, thinks he is the champion hard luck boy. Four years ago he was kicked by a horse and had his right arm broken. Exactly five weeks afterward he fell off a soap-box and fractured the same arm nearer the shoulder. Two years ago he broke the same arm. in slipping and falling oh ice. The jinnee’ then seemed to leave his arm and go to his legs. Last June while playing ball he was struck on the left ankle with a ball, resulting in the ankle bone being cracked. Twp weeks later, while still on crutches, be fell and injured his right knee. He had just become able to walk a few days ago when a motorcycle ran into him and injured him so badly that he will be out of commission for some time.
