DUE TO INJURY SUSTAINED TWELVE MONTHS AGO.

(From Our Correspondont.)


ABERDEEN, Tuesday. Injured in Scottish League game in September of last year, Daniel McKenzie, 22-year-old footballer, died in Aberdeen Infirmary to-day.

He was playing at outside left for Aberdeen against Dundee when he was severely injured and removed to hospital, where an operation necessitating the removal of a kidney was performed.

Returning his home in Aberdeen, McKenzie appeared to have recovered from the results of the mishap, but he had a relapse about fortnight ago, and was removed to the local infirmary. He had been with the Aberdeen club for nearly three season.
