Hen Berry Declares Double Um-

BOTH TEAMS DOWN ON LIST

Get ready for the big show at the
Chutes. Hap Hogan's Villagers and
Hen Berry's sadly bedraggled Angels
will open their war at the Washington
street park this afternoon, and judg-
ing from the talk both leaders made
last night 1t will be finish bout. Hap
decries the Berryite's lack of fighting
spirit, while Hen says any time he
can't win a series on his home lot it
is about time to disband the team.
This last was directed at the recent
bunch between Vernon and Oakland.
By their grand squirt Sunday the Wis
itors managed to get four out Of the
seven games played against the VII
layers, and Hens mental alteration
regarding the six straight lost to SaC-
ramento gave him a chance to chide
Hogan for falling before Oakland.
Rather depressed by their slump
while away from Los Angeles, the
Angels wandered into town yesterday
and proceeded to look the burg over
in search of a spirit raiser. All the
players say their recent defeat at sac
ranento was what will happen to any
team in the world, and maintain the
there will be nothing but victories
chalked up in their percentage column.
Just for a starter Cap Dillon viii
put Walter Nagle on the mound and
see if he can't break flying. Nagle,
despite his being the leading twirler
in the coast league ranks, looked like
the rest of them while on the northern
trip, and Hogan says he is glad to
open up against the best Berry can
al irrI, SC tn
and may be sent on the mound to op-
pose his old enemies.
Vernon starts the series in fourth
place, seven points shy of Oakland.
The Angels are down below the five
hundred mark, and busy series can
be looked for.
Berry is confident two umpires will
he working in local games before the
middle of the month. With all the San
Francisco baseball critics favoring his
demands, the Angel magnate pressed
the league directors for all he was
worth while in the north, and prom
Use was obtained from President Gra-
ham in which the ruling power said
he would give the double ump system
a trial here.
This will mean one addition to the
staff of Coast league indicator men,
and Jimmy Toman will probably land
the berth While James was rather
lenient in his treatment of players
while subbing last week for McGreevy,
the fans are of the opinion the little
fellow could do better once he is given
a regular place, and local boosters,
with the exception of a few chronic
kickers, will urge his selection.
Vernon will be the homo team this
week, and not until the following
series can Berry place himself in the
role of host to the fans. Up north
Portland and Oakland will have a spat
on the around the bay diamonds, while
the Senators take a shot at the league
leaders, san Francisco. If Graham's s
gang happens to get the better of the
Seals in their series, then everyone
will be ready to believe that the An

due to baseball fate.

OLD VESSELS UNEARTHED.
Excavations at Panama Disclose Rel
les of Spanish Days.


les Of Spanish Days,
The excavations which are being made
at the village Of Nombre de DioS
on the Atlantic coast, will probably
bring to light some interesting relics
Of the old Spanish rule on the lsthmus
Nombre de Dios is the place selected
by the Canal Commission for obtain
ing the sand to be used in the CON
struction Of the concrete work On the
big Gatun locks.
There is a big alluvial plain at Nom
bre de Dios, and it is evident from
Spanish charts of 800 years ago, that
the plain has greatly increased IN size
since then. In fact, parts of the old
Spanish vessels have already been
found deeply embedded in the mud
and sand half mile or more from the
nearest navigable water.
Nombre de Dios is the oldest settle
ment in the Republic of Panama and
one of the Oldest in the New World.
Columbus, when he was skirting The
Caribbean coast of the Isthmus in
1902, explored the harbor of Nombre
de Dios, but made no attempt to found
colony there. Eight years later
Diego de Nicoesa, then Governor Of
Hlspaniola tSanto Domingo was
sent by the Spanish crown to take
possession of the newly discovered
country.
For good many years in the early
history OF the Isthmus Nombre de
Dios was the principal port on the
Atlantic side, and the digging by the
Americans is certain to turn up at
least some interesting specimens Of
the old Spanish sailing craft.

I the loss to the nation by Illness Is
500, 100000 a year.
But that Is net all that this sickness
costs, Professor Fisher points ont;
THE cost of medical attendance,
nursing. etc, is conjecmred by Doctor
Rigcs in New York TO average for the
consumptiye poor at least $3.50 per day
Of illness. The cost per day Of other
Illnesses than tuberculosis is presum.
ably greater. and also the cost per day
for other classes is higher than for
the poor. Applying this to the 100000
years Of illness annually experienced,
we should have S1,500,000,00O in all as
The minimum annual cost Of this kind.
The statistics OF the Commissioner
Of Labor show that the average eXncn.
diture for illness and death amount to
SCI per annum This is for working.
mems families only, But even this flg.
ure If applied TO the 100000 families
Of the United States would make the
total bin for caring for illness and
death 100000. 600. The true cost may
wen be more than twice this sum. Ger
tainly this estimate is more than safe,
and is only one-third of the sum
obtained by using Dr.. Biggs estimate
The sum of the costs of illness, in.
Guiding loss~sf wages and cost Of care,
IS thus $4GO,OO0,OOO plus S50O,OOOOOO or
$500, 0OOOoO
Terrible Cost Of tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis costs the United States
more han a billion a year, according
% Prof Fishers figures. This loss
comes from the gross loss of earnings
by illness and potential earnings cut
off by DEATH together with the expense
of illness.
The loss to the consumptives them
selves amounts to more than $4,000
600, leaving S440 900, 600 as the loss to
The other members Of the community.
Prof Fisher and other scientists are
agreed that at least threefourths Of
this loss is preventable if the people
were only educated to a proper knowl-
edge Of how to prevent consumption
and the National, State and municipal
governments provided the proper safe
guards
The annual cost of typhoid is fixed at
S35000O,00O whereas malaria and 9TH
er diseases spread by insects cost $780,
100000 BY proper drainage and the
destruction Of mosquitoes most Of this
loss could be saved.
DR.. George Fl. Gould, Prof Fisher re-
ports, has compiled statistics to prove
that sickness and death in the United
States cost three billion dollars annual.
