LOSES
BY TRIPLE
PLAY
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, May 5.-A triple
play by Vancouver in the first
inning yesterday took the nerve
out of Seattle and they could do
nothing the rest of the day, the
Beavers walking off with the
game 3 to 1. Jensen was too
much for the champs. The
triple play came with champs on
first and second. A line drive
to second with a throw to short
stop at second and then to first
did the trick.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Synge's Social Life in England" quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there IS an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, May, master, 1t is my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc> tton," for patients do not understand 1t, which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating a wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause a disturbance. but some times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.
