Many ParaIytics and Others Benefited
by Sunday Practice OF Mission
Road Near Daily Street-Funny
Scenes Witnessed

Over near the county hospital there
Is a baseball diamond where various
teams play on Sunday afternoons.
Sometimes the games are semi-pro-
fessional, and the fans get o good
chance to root hoarsely. The rooters
range from bootblacks and newsboys
to women and cripples, for the field
is close to one of the most cosmopoli-
tan sections of the city.
Nearby Is a settlement filled up with
railway men and their families. Brake
men, engineers. firemen, car tenders
and the like help constitute the as
sembiy. Incidentally, from a nearby
Spanish settlement on the Mission road
come a variegated assortment of Mex
leans and senoritas. enjoying the game
with the same ardor that character
ICES the railway fans.
AS some OF the games are played by
ambitious young disciples OF Demon
Red" Perkins, the messenger boy and
other street gamin also are In evil
dence.
Not far away is colony of Rus
slams, and Of late the former subjects
of his highness, the czar, have ac-
ouired a peculiar penchant for the
game, and are Joining the fan ele-
ment.

many lives these Sunday baseball
games have saved" said physician at
the county hospital Sunday. why,
they do more good than you could i'm
agine. For instance, four years ago
there was brought to us one old man,
paralyzed in both arms and legs, who
we thought could not possibly live over
a couple of weeks.
'It was about that time that the first
game was played here. The old man
had positively made up his mind to die
and was quietly awaiting the end. An
attendant wheeled him out for bit OF
sunshine one mornig, and he happened
to hear the fans yelling. He requested
very feebIy to be taken to the game.
"That afternoon when he returned to
the hospital he had the first color in his
cheeks that had seen there. and from
that time to this he has been postpon-
ing his death every week, to see the
next ball game. He gets very i'll about
the middle of the week, then we go In
and tell him about the fine game sched-
uled for the next Sunday. 1t may be
only a bunch of newsboys or Bowery
walters, but the old man sits up and
takes notice. He Immediately reyives,
and the next Sunday finds him on the
field again, eager for the game.
II could tell you of score of rheu-
mates whom I actually believe have
been made we'll men by the stimulation
of those Sunday games.
Eyes, it's a fine thing for the hos
pital. One day week of genuine hi
larity is worth a whole drug store.
when it comes to curing diseases II
we had a game every day 1 believe the
hospital would contain about half its
present number of patients. There's
nothing like baseball to make you for
get it,"
And then the physician lapsed into
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-06

a line of paralytics. spreading pande-
moniup1.
Among the fans are always a dozen
or more white plague victims, of whom
the county hospital contains a large
number. and on one occasion q ball
coming In from the field managed to
find sudden resting place in the pit
of a consumptive's stomach; but even
that didn't cool the ardor OF the base
ball fans. Not a sympathetic glance
was turned toward him as he hobbled
his solar plexus bandaged. Before the
last inning, however, the consumtive
was back In his old place again, root
ing as hard as ever, but keeping his
eyes well peeled for stray balls.
Sometimes, too, when the game Is
close and the playing exciting, there
is an assortment of yells that would
put Babel to the bad and make Chi
nese drama look like a prayer meet
ing.
Last Sunday the railroad men were
heard shouting vociferously:
"That guys got g fiat wheell Say,
Bill, they've got you on a sidingi
Back up, there, you're on the wrong
rails! Watch the fiagman!-hes cross

him! She's a down-grade run, Bill!
Fire up! There!--you'Ve a clear road,
Bill! Don't let 'em flag you! Make

Railroad Men Happy
And the railroad element heaved a
reached "home," and another point was
scored.
Incidentally, the Mexican element
was yelling:
"Vamoose par la casa, Bill Pronto!

listed? Hal sta bueno sta bueno!
I'm grande hombre, Bill"
And over on the left wing the Rus
SLAMS were doing Siberian jig and
shouting fiercely;
"Blovitskyl Hurryupsky! Come
alongovitch quickitlsky!" ETC., etc.
"Hey, you NUT! Dat umpire's bugs!
lamps on Bill" came from the news
boys.
All blended together, it sounded un-
like any combination of languages that
ever even graced Tammany conven-
tion.
Undoubtedly the American game of
baseball has a wonderful attraction for
old and young, American and foreigner
alike. There wasn't a cripple in the
whole bunch who thought about his all
ment, and not foreigner who took
cognizance of the fact that the major
ity of the fans didn't even know which
side he was roofing for
One old man last Sunday forgot ev-
erything except the game. He had not
used his hands or feet for ten years he
said, but on one occasion he managed
to stand up and wave his fist at the
umpire. A few moments later he re-
ouested a bystander to tuck the quilt
in around his legs. The bystander
looked at him disdainfully.
"Wait till de next inning. Can't you
see I'm busy now?" he replied.
He evidently thought that any para
lytic with sufficient use of his arms to
wave them had enough strength to
tuck his own quilt. He didn't under
stand the psychological law that para
lyzed men very often actually forget
the affiiction. But the writer made no
attempt to explain the metaphysical
aspect of the case. for he would only
have received a punch in the jaw for
his trouble.
Many Attend Game
Fully 300 people witnessed last Sun
days game, and in the entire crowd
outside of the players there didn't seem
to be over twenty of any one nation
ality.

doubt, tire the invalids who come over
in wheel chairs from the county hos
pitalf block away.
Some of them are paraiyzed in the
arms, others in the legs, but nearly all
of them possess a good larynx, and
after the first inning contribute the
most stentorian yells ever offered to
the high umpire of this back yard
Olympus.
Looking down the front rank of root
ers, one is impressed by the number
of rheumatic or paralytic invalids in
wheel chairs. Next he observes an as
sortment of canes and crutches, BAN
daged arms and locomotor ataxia pa
tients, sandwiched in between olive
hued senoritas from the Mexican COL
ony, and brawny brakemen and en-
gineers, with their wives and little
ones, commingling with the street
Arabs and the gaudily attired maidens
of Moloki.
Fergets His Ailment
Sometimes one of the locomotor
ataxia victims forgets his ailment, and
in the excitement of a foul tries to
run a race with the umpire, possibly
to swat him one, when he stumbles
onto the chalk line and describes an
assortment of crazy quilt angles try
ing to get back on his feet again, while
a rheumatic in a wheel chair obtrudes
himself into the melee with a mega
phone yell that suddenly blends into
howl of pain as the locomotor ataxia
man topples on his knees, and the kid
making a run for third base butts Into

of the fine plays he had witnessed on
the nearby diamond. 1t took me half
hour to get away. for he was another
of those enthusiasts.
But
Well, it didn't do me much good to
leave him. There was another one on
the same seat with me on the street
car. I had never seen him before. but
he began to talk about the White Sox
the moment l sat down.
There's no escape from baseball
crank.
