most promising young player in the
American league. He was having his
first season and most brilliant one
it was. One day he made triple, a
double and a single off Tannehill IN
three trips to the plate. The fourth
time UP Tannehill hit him fearful
blow over the right eye. The optic was
driven out on the cheek. 1t almost
killed the trained and muscular young
athlete. Hoffman lay as if dead, and
it was four days before he recovered
consciousness Then his nerves were
ruined. From TO pounds he declined
! to 1913. He could not sleep nor eat FOR
six months, and the following season
saw him play with but one eye to see.
Hoffman says that it has taken him six
years to get back in full strength. He
has never been able to hit left-handed
pitchers since that awful day. Now,
six years after, Hoffman Is at the
mercy of the average left-handed
player. From a man who hit left-hand-
ed pitchers with freedom and ease, he
is usually taken out of the game when
| a left-hander is pitching against his
team Tannehill, who hit him, is a
| left-hander.
Hoffman has never forgiven Tame
hill for hitting him. He says that 1t
was done with malice aforethought,
because he had been hitting the
pitcher hard during the game.
Why Lush's Neck Is Crooked.
Johnnie Lush, the star pitcher Of
the Cardinals, was hit by Andy Coax
ley on the neck and was all but killed.
His neck has never been straight since
that time, and for years his health was
so impaired by the awful shock that
he felt that he was degenerating into
consumptive.
Bresnahan of the Cardinals, was hit
and severely hurt by Jack Taylor, in
1904. For long time after this in
that protected the exposed side of his
head against the mistakes or designs
of the pitcher.
Hundreds of lesser lights have been
hit and injured to a degree less SER
fous than those above mentioned. 1t
all goes to show that baseball is not
without its great dangers, especially
to men at the bat. Most of the in.
juries on the field have come about
through collisions between fielders,
such as that in which Hub Collins
died when he collided with Harry Sto-
vey at Boston, many years ago. But
field accidents have been infrequent
and unimportant compared to those
which have taken place between
pitched balls and batters at the plate.
Batted balls injure very few players,
though the way men hit them about In
practice would often make one wonder
that accidents are not more frequent.
The most notable accident of this sort
that ever occurred was when Schriver
of Pittsburg hit Pitcher William Hart
of the came vlub on the chin with a
ball batted in practice. The drive
shattered Harris jaw and his face fell
down upon his breast as like
beard" as one player who saw the &C
cident described it. 1t was wired up
again and the man given semblance
of human appearance. Hart is now 50
years old and is rated the best pitcher
in the Southern league.
Withal the paucity of accidents IN
baseball is tribute to the great skill
of the players. With death whistling
by them every minute they are at bat,
only one player in one million is ever
seriously injured while playing the
game

experience with the head winds and air
currents, and more especially with that
darned equilibrator. would enable them
TO avoid the mistakes Of the present

MOTHER AWAITING WORD
FROM AMERICA SURVIVOR
Mrs. Annie Aubert Whose Nneteen-Year-Old Son Was

With eyes very tired and weary from
sleepless waiting for word from her
boy, Mrs. Annie Aubert, mother Of the
nineteen-year-old Washington youth
who sailed away with Wellman in his
daring effort to cross the Atlantic, and
who, with the rest Of the crew, was
taken from the helpless dirigiblc by the
Royal Mail steamship Trent, Is today

will put her doubts and fears at rest.
In all the mass of messages which 1
have received by wireless, there is not

a single line signed by his name. I
want some word from him direct
something that will tell me for certain
that he is all right.
