CHASE HAS HIS
 PICTURE TAKEN

Augusta, Ga, April 9.-Hal Chase's varioloid sores are today running very freely in the very best kind of response to the treatment of the doctors at the con- tagion hospital, where he is detained by the board of health. The sores will com menee to heal about Sunday. The blotches cover his entire body. though apparently more pronounced on his hands and face. Scales are commencing to form and he will finish scaling about Sunday week. When scaling is entirely over he will be given his liberty. He said today that he is planning to rejoin his club May 10. He is delighted that his wife is coming to Augusta, though he can only interview her by telephone. He is in the best of spirits and is making the acquaintance and engaging in conversation by tele- phone with newspaper men and others. Today he expressed a desire to be photo- graphed and one of the hospital officials kodaked him in a dozen different poses. His sores are about the size of a small pea. They are very irritable, but if they are not disturbed by scratching or other violence no permanent marks will be left over the patient,

RICHMOND IS DEFEATED

Richmond, Va, April 9.--The New York American Baseball club. after passing through various experiences with the health authorities at Lynchburg and other places since their departure from Angus ta, Ga, where Hal Chase, their star first baseman, is now occupying an entire hos pital in the "enjoyment' of a case of varioloid. supposed to have been contract ed from a bell boy in hotel, arrived here today, was given a clean bill of health. and defeated the Richmond team this afternoon by a score of to 1.
 Whatever Is the matter with Chase, there does not seem to be much the mat ter physically with the other team mem- bers who have been collected by Manager Stallings to fling the ball around the highlands of New York. After having thoroughly satisfied the Lynchburg au- thorities, Health Officer Levy of Rich mond met the team on its arrival here and proceeded to make an examination on his own account This was followed by an examination by pr. Allan W. Free man, assistant state health commissioner, and after this Passed Assistant Surgeon Sternberg of Washington had a look-in and then all three of them went back and did it over again. The result was that the New York Americans were given a clean bill of health and under the papers which have been given Manager Stallings are entitled to enter any port of entry on the circuit of the league.
 The yannigans will play in Richmond tomorrow and Monday and the regulars will open the season according to sched- ule in Washington on Monday
 The latter team left Richmond tonight and 1t was announced that they were going to New York, but it Is generally thought that they will stop over in Wash ington and rest up for two days before the opening.
 Chase, according to reports is in first class condition and will be ready to join the team as soon as he is released from his present state of isolation.
 The team has accepted the situation in a philosophical manner and since the arrival in Richmond each member has submitted to whatever test the physi- clans have wished. Every member of the team, including Manager Stallings, has been vaccinated and some of them now have itching arms, which probably in terferes somewhat with their game. They are in a jovial frame of mind, however, and do not anticipate any further annoy ance.

That speech" said Max Ander- son, was the straw which broke the camePs back. The dispatches to the ef- feet that the Shuberts have withdrawn from the Theatre Managers association are correct. We are out of 1t. The as- sociation is controlled by Klaw 6 Erlan- ger. We ask no favors for we are in position now to fight them to a finish"

Because Birmingham Team Will Not
 Enter Field Meet.

New Orleans, April 9.-(Special. )-Loeal amateur athletics here are talking very much of Birminghams refusal to enter any of its three teams in the meet that will be held here at City park in May under the rules of the Southern Amateur Athletic Union, as they claim that this course by Birmingham will injure it's chance of get ting the southern meet in 1910.
 Every year that the meets of the Anna teur Athletics Union have been held in this city Birmingham has been repre- scented by three strong teams, and it was with regret that the letter of Secre- tary c. H. Miles of Birmingham was re- cefved here notifying the local people that Birmingham would not take part, as 1t is understood that their withdrawal this year will seriously interfere with the plans of the Birmingham people to hold the meet there next year.
