PHYSICIAN
SCARED BY x-RAYS

BALTIMORE. May S.-The dangers of
the x-ray to experimentors are illus
trated in the case of the surgeons who
have charge of this work at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital The work is in charge
of DR.. Frederick II. Baetjer, who has
been working with the X-ray for sew
eral years. His hands are scanned with
gashes. and he has lost practically
every finger nail
The skin on his hands is dry. and
looks dead. and the tips of his fingers
are of n dark yeliowish tint. His as
sistants bear the same marks on their
hands.
A certain salve Is rubbed on the
hands by X-ray experimenters. but In
stances are on record where the sores
and burns did not heal. and serious re-
suits followed.
In spite of this danger the physicians,
especially the young ones. are taking
up X-ray work on a larger scale than
ever before.

Barred From Tracks.
The Metropolitan Turf Association
some years ago had a somewhat similar
contest, and for a few days was barred
from the race tracks, while another as
sociation, which. oddly enough, bore the
same initials, being the Mania ttan Turf
Alliance, dominaed the betting until
the Metropolitan Association made
terms and resumed control of the ring
speculation.
II was said yesterday that the asso-
citation would have a fund OF 100000
available for the litigation which its of
ficers have limited they will institute.
1t has been suggested that the Metro

the lawyer who for the past four years
has been attacking the race tracks in
the interest Of client, a poolroon
keeper, who sought revenge for interfer-
ence with his business.

RUSSIAN WRESTLER
MUCH DISCUSSED
Graeco-R0man Tactics Con-
quered Jenkins.
SOON RETURNS TO ENGLAND
Has Little Opportunity TO Appear in
America Because Of Theatrical
Engagements.

The public is still discussing the vic
tory of George Hackenschmidt over Tom
Jenkins in Madison Square Garden, New
York the other night. and agrees that
it was one of the best contests of its
kind decided in many 4 day. Haoken-
schmidt displayed Il speed that no one
had credited him with.
1t was thought that a man of his bulk
and muscle could not be speedy. His
cuickness and dash were a revelation,
Hackenschmidt showed that even II
catch-as-cdtch-can style Is not his forte
he at least knows thing or two about
these wrestling rules. Jenkins piled the
foreigner with all sorts Of holds. He
laid all kinds of traps for him, but the
ion avoided them time and again, and
with surprising ease. 1t was Hacken-
schmidt's strength that called forth ad-
miration. He tossed ana whiried Jen-
kins around the mat like & football.
A Bold Attempt.
Not many wrestlers would attempt to
secure a back hammer lock in mid-afr
Russian failed to connect was not his
fault: it was because jenkins body
was slippery from perspiration.
Hackenschmidt INDUCED IN little
catch-as-catch-can wrestling. That IS,
the holds with which he defeated his
| man come under Graeco-Roman rules.
He tried a few leg locks. a crotch and
a trip. But when he saw that he could
not obtain these grasps he was salts
fed TO eonfine himself to half and
double nelson's. Successful execution
of these locks requires great strength.
To Leave America.
It is a pity that Hackenschnidt is
| compelled to return at such an early
date to England. He IS booked to de
part on May 20. and does not expect to
return here for some time. His en-
gagements abroad, it Is said. viii cover

BOUT SHOULD BE FAST

BALTIMORE, May s--A six-rouud
bout and a fifteen-round set-to are vast
" different things so far as a boxer is
concerned, and a knight OF the ring who
has been accustomed TO going six rounds
usually finds far different proposition
to solve wherl ne enters the roped arena
for a nfteeE-round battle.
Young Erne, who Is down on the
cards for f1fteen-round match with
Benny Yanger next Friday night at the
Fourth Regiment Armory Han, before
the Eureka Athletic and Social club,
has established his now rapidly increas-
ing reputation by boxing six-round af-
fairs In the Pennsylvania metropolis.
With the exception OF Harry Lewis,
Erne has met s.nd been awarded the de-
cision over all the legitimate feather

Erne Has Quality.
His recent bout with Young Corbett
showed that there is good stuff in him.
While the Phiiadeiphian would natural
iy praise him a bit. special correspon-
dents for out-of-town papers all gave
Erne an equal break with the Denver
tie.

gruellins fifteen rounds. ETne will go

tanned quarters at gray HOtSt, Ilfn-

Benny Yanger will be in this city
in a day or two and establish a train
ing camp in the suburbs. The "Tipton
Slasher' has oftimes gone the fifteen
round route and On dozen or more oc-
casions stepped twenty rounds. SO the
coming match will be no novelty for
him as regards its length. He is re-
garded as q fast boxer, and with Erne,
who is said to go fast. should put up a
sizzling contest.
