Drops Dead at Tennis Game.

Sioux City, la., Sept. 4.—Robert
Tackaberry, son of the owner of a
wholesale trading house, fell dead at
a tennis game just after he made a
phenomenally high reach for a ball.
When he collapsed, the spectators, including
his wife, laughed, thinking he
had tumbled over on the grass as a
joke. His heart was injured by the
strain.
