Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUGUSTA. Ga, April 9.-Hal Chase,
first baseman Of the New York Ameri-
cans, who Is Ill here, Is doing nicely at
the detention camp.
A representative of The Star talked to
Chase over the telephone during the
morning. Chase was feeling able to get
out Of bed to get a chance to communi-
cate with the outside world. This IL the
first day he has stayed in bed. The mild
ness of the attack will be realized when
it is known that today it reached Its
worst stage. and. Notwithstanding this,
Chase was able to leave his room.
Chase says he is feeling pretty well
and does not anticipate any serious con-
sequences from the disease. He has been
told by the physicians that he should
be able to leave the hospital by April
%. Chase says he will not Immediately
rejoir. the New York club when he gets
out of the pesthouse. but will take some
will probably join the Yankees about
May 10. He has not yet decided where
he will spend the time before joining the
team.
Chase says Mrs. Chase, who IL in Jersey
City, has communicated with him and
says she is coming to Augusta. She will
not of course. be able to visit Mr. Chase
at the detention camp. but can communi-
cate with him by telephone. 1t is prob
able that the manner of spending the in
time between his release from
detention and his joining the New Yorks
will be decided on after Mrs. Chase ar
rives here.
The physicians attending Chase say that
the disease Is very mild and Is yielding
readily to treatment. and they do not
know a reason to fear any serious out
come of the case.
Word has been received from Macon
that two members of the Macon base bali
team have contracted the disease and
have been placed in the pesthouse there.
These are Catcher Eddie Barrett and
Pitcher William Drummer. The other
members Of the team have been vaccinat-
ed. The disease is said to have been con-
tracted from two negro bell boys In the
hotel at Macon. where the New York
Americans stopped while training there.
These. bell boys have developed the dis
ease and have also been placed In the
pesthouse.

currence will have on the playing season

but for the beef they will yield. It
may be doubted If the existing duty
on hides has any stimulating effect
whatever on the cattle raising bust
ness. The duty on the hide of an an
imal amounts to but little over 1 per
cent of the animals value.
Moreover, hides taken off animals
ordinarily killed by the farmers
themselves-that is, skins, as they are
termed. or hides weighing less than
twenty-five pounds-are not subject
to duty. If the purpose of duty on
hides were to encourage the cattle
business 1t is more than reasonable to
assume that the hide in the hand of
the farmer would be given protection,
which it does not get now, as well as
killed by the packer.
Experts also figure out that any
loss that the cattle raiser might suffer
from free hides would be more than
offset by the cheaper shoes, harness
and other leather products he uses
which would be made possible by the
removal of the duty on hides.
