PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE DEAD
WORK OF o. G. MASON FOR
OVER FORTY YEARS.
Long Attached to Bellevue Hospital
in New York-Valuable Record
of Surgical Operations.

NEW YORK, January 9.-Many well
known surgeons and physicians climbed
up under the roof of Bellevue Hospita,
yesterda yto say goodbye to Oscar Glea son
Mason. who has been official photogra pher
OF the institution for more than forty
years. He is seventy nine, but is as
active as many men of forty five
Mason has resigned and his place will
soon be filled by a younger man. Yester-
day he spent In looking through the studio
that has been his home for nearly half
century. 1t contains many interesting
things and in it have been worked out
many valuable inventions in phOtogra pny
and microscopic work
First Hospital Photographer.
He was the first official hospital photog-
rapher in the world. In the sixties he be
came impressed with the idea that photog
raphy could aid surgery. He gave up IA
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. position and OBJ
tanned permission to equip studio in the
top of the building, where he worked ever
since without salary. His income has
been fees from surgeons and physicians
and from the department Of charities for
making photographs of the city's undenti-
fed dead.
''One of the things that drew me into
this place. he said yesterday was the
desire TO make some record of the thou
sands of unfortunate persons who are
each year buried in paupers' graves. The
idea OF photographing these faces took
possession of me, and in the last forty
years l have made photographs of nearIy
1900 faces in the morgue. These records
have been kept and / could fill library
with the stories of identifications that
have grown out of the photographs, some
times many years after the bodies We're
buried and forgotten"
Crippled by Using x Rays.
When the X ray came into vogue he
took up the study of the method. and CON
stant daily use of it has SO crippled his
hands and arms that he is now obliged to
give up his work. or, as he puts It, take
a little rest. and then go on again, for
there is yet much that l want to do be-
fore / quit
His studio, from its perch under the
roof, looks almost directly down upon the
main operating room. and there he ha IS
taken photographs of the most difficult
and interesting surgical work done in the
institution. This work alone would have
made him well known, both in America
and abroad, where hundreds of surgeons
have asked for his photographs
Many times Mr.. Mason has been offered
a salary, but has never been on the citys
pay roll. In explaining that he said: IL
never wanted to be in a position where
some alderman or other city official would
come seeking my place for friend or
relative. / have been content to work 70,

BIG BONUS FOR
CITY LEAGUE

The Washington Water Power
company has renewed its offer Of
bonus to the city league for the
coming season and has made even
a better proposition than the one
last year. In addition to the bonus
of $1,000 cash to be divided
among the winning teams the
company will give an additional
bonus of 3 IL cents each for every
admission over 10000 during the
season. This means a bonus in
the neighborhood Of $1,000 as last
year, bad one in point of attend
ance owing to the long stay of the
Northwestern league team, the at
tendance exceeded $4,000.
The city league managers will
meet this evening at the Elks
temple to complete the plans for
the season. There is a strong
prospect that Hillyard will be ad-
mitted to membership in the
league. Harry Campbell will
probably manage the team.

the game was rough, but few fouls

strength is through results.
In the first place the catcher d.
reefs the defense, and all plays are
started through him. Every play
except fouls that go to his rear, are
made In front Of him.
For example,: Suppose there Is
a man on first and the batter lays
down a bunt. The pitcher hustles
for the ball, but as he has his back
to second does not know whether
to make the peg to that bag or to
first.
The catcher is in position to tell
the twirler where to make the play
The same holds good on slow hit
balls to the third and first base
men. When the catcher yells "lots
of time" or fast man." they know
what to do.
The backstop is supposed | tc
know what every batter is weak
on. But here is a point the public
never Is wise to. IL
It's established among PLAYERS
that what one pitcher will finds ef
fective will not do at all when
dished up by another.

batter's weakness and what balls
are effective by certain pitcherS

NEW PIPE FOR
JACK KEARNS

Jack Kearns evidently has gotten
hold of new railroad folder. Sew
eral weeks ago he mapped out a
route for himself and Kid Scaler
and was to tour through British Co
lumbia. thence to San Francisco
and then on to Australia, pitting
Scaler against about everything in
his weight that could, be found.
Jack has taken up another line Of
pipes and now states he intends to
take Scaler to Europe In the near
future and land him in France
where good money is to be had in
the fighting game. The next move
will probably be trip to South
Africa, where big game Is said to
be plentiful.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-03-02

The left hand hitter has de-
cided advantage over the man who
bats from the right side of the
plate, and it is no wonder there are
so many port side clouters In the
game.
In the first place the left handler
is nearer first, and when hitting he
swings directly into his stride.
The right hand hitter, after TAX
ing clout, kinds himself turned
around, so that he Is facing third
base. He is forced to turn and
start for the initial bag.
When 1t is considered that there
are hundreds of decisions every
season where base runners lose
hits by being beaten to first by
inches, 1t can be seen that the man
who bats from the left side Of the
plate stands a better chance OF &C
cumulating high average.
Ability to hustle down the first
base line is another great point In
favor of the batter and swells
many a batting average.
A fine illustration of this Is seen
in the Detroit club. The Tigers
have three great hitters In Cobb
Crawford and Rossman.
For straightaway hitting ability
1t is hard matter to choose be
tween them. but Cobb, because OF
his speed. generally outfits his
mates.
Ty Is faster than Crawford, and
this probably accounts for the diff
ference in their averages. Cobb
easily outruns Rossman and nat
urally has a great advantage over
him.
1t is doubtful of either Crawford
or Cobb have anything on the bic
first baseman when it comes to
straightaway hitting. but when
speed is taken into consideration
they lay over Ross"
1t has been conceded by base bal
men that theomost important man
to a ball club Is the catcher. The
public. admitting the strength of a
good backstop. seldom realizes just
how. the pad artist is such helr
to his club.
A good catcher's work seldom
stands out in such way taht the
fans can see his real worth. Abou,

PULLMAN WRESTlERS

The Washington state college has
picked its six wrestlers who will
meet the men from Oregon Agri-

Corvallis, Ore, Saturday evening.
The Pullman men and their
weights are: Hunter, 1876 pounds;

pounds; F. Kusick, 1876 pounds;

This is the first intercollegiate
wrestling match to be held in the

the meet depends the success of
the event in the future. The Cor
