Great First of the Yankees Ill with Smallpox
Other Players Vaccnated
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Augusta, Ca, April Hal Chase. the great
first baseman of the Yankees and one of the
best ball players ever developed in this country,
is in the pesthouse here suffering from severe
attack of smallpox. This malady not only IN
capacitates the victim for at least five weeks.
but in the majority of cases produces dishgure-
ment of the face.
When the Yankees arrived in Augusta last
Sunday Hal Chase was i'll and physician was
summoned to diagnose his case. 1t was pro
nounced smallpox. The player was taken to the
pesthouse on the outskirts of the city, where he
will he in quarantine until the first week IN
May. It was announced that Chase was suffer-
ing from a slight ailment and all news OF MS
real illness was suppressed.
Every member of the New York team was
vaccnated before he was allowed to leave Au-
gusta. The inocuation was performed against
the wishes and request of George Stallings, the
manager of the team who realized that Il
might incapacitate the men and make it impos-
sible for them to open the league season III
Washington on Monday. Vaccination produces
painfully sore arms or lefs, the case may De-
if the vaccine is effective and some Of the play
ers NAV not be able TO take the field for a week
or two.
AS said before the Yankees will open the
American League season in washington on
Monday. and there is a bare chance that the
team may be quarantined by some health officer
and thus make it impossible for them to begin
the race for the pennant. In this case the yam
KEGS might be forced to lose the games py oe-
fault.
Hal Chase was developed on the Pacific Coast
and has pIaved four or five seasons at first
base for the Yankees. He Is generally consld-
cred the best man in this position III the couh-
try. Last year he had trouble with Kid hloer-
field who succeeded Clark Griffith as manager
of the Yankees. and deserted the team at tirle
when they were struggling along near the pot
tom of the ladder. He returned to his nome III
California and played there in an outlaw leasue
He applied for reinstatement to the Nauo"ai
Baseball Commission in the winter ana was
finally restored TO good standing. joining the
New York Americans at Macon for the spring
training season early in March.

preacher gave out his text, in part
he said that we might keep the Ten
Commandments if we wished, but
that they were not intended to be
kept, and that they were part of
the old Mosaical Law and had been
done away with long ago. In fact it
was impossible for anyone to keep
them. He also asserted that oil
people we're sinful and would contin
ne to sin, and that we must die in
our sins and be reSurrected like

by saying obey Christ and be bap-
tlzed and be saved, otherwise refuse
and be damned During all this
