SNOW" asked Doctor

"Now," asked Doctor Baker,
smiling quizzingly, "do you
think a little slum baby's life is
worth saving, no matter how
broken it may be? In this case
we saved the baby's life and the
mothers life, and also prevented
the disruption of a home"
DR.. Baker, who is still a very
young woman, has all New York
talking. She was made head of
the Child Hygiene division of the
department of public health two
years ago. Her organization has
cut down the annual infant NOR
tally in New York this summer
by 1 200 and has prevented 10000
cases of infantile i1lnessl
"Of course, it has cost us
money to save these babies" said
DIR. Baker. "But in almost every
case a baby is worth saving. They
are the human merchandise of a

"There should be no more

"The most important thing,
however, is to prepare for next

PULLED
OVER GOOD ONE

Clarke Griffith worked the slickest
trick ever put w on him, Billy
Evans says. Griff not only caught Bill
ly mapping. but pulled the wool over
his eyes as well. This is the story,
as related by Fearless Bill:
Griffith was managing the Yankees
the second year ! umpired and in q
game in Chicago he protested agains.
Ed Walsh's half balk motion toward
first base. which made 1t impossible
for Yankee base runners to tell when
Walsh would pitch and when he would
throw to first.
"a couple of Yankees had been
caught of first and Griffith came to
me and said: Walsh makes q full
balk every time he pitches with 6
man on first. My players are intelli-
gent base runners and they wouldn't
be showed up as they are II Walsh's
delivery wasn't Illegal

WOLVERTON HAS
HI BIG CHANCE

New York Times: Harry Wolver-
ton has the chance of his life to make
a big baseball hit with the Yankees
In 1912. In the first place his club
finished sixth in the past campaign,
and with any luck at all he stands
reasonably certain of improving thai
position Hc comes to II team which.
in the mind of every we'll posted base
ball man, is possessed of wonderful
strength team which made such n
sorry showing in 1911 only because
of poor management and an over
whelminS amount of tough luck in
tho line of sickness and injuries. But
these things are only n few of the tri-
vial assets in Wolverton's favor.
Wolverton. who has been a trc-
mendouS success as a minor league
maager. steps up to fast company to
match his wits against four now man
ayers among the opposing
clubs. OF the three old managers left
from last season only two are at all
formidable. These are Connie Mack,
pilot of the worlds champion Attn
letics. and Hugh Jennings of tha
Tigers. Rhody Wallace and his ILL
fated Browns do not count. Of the
four rivals who management
this year only one has had any en-
p%erience. Clarke Griffith will lead the
Washington crew. He hasn't much of
a team to begin with. and he is the
original son Of Ill Fortune. Jake
Stahl Of Boston, Harry Davis Of Cleve-
land, and Jimmy Callahan of Chicago,
are all green and untried men.

HARRY TurH1LL GIVES OPINION.

Harry Tuthill. the trainer OF the Dc.
troit Tigers and West Point, who &C.
cupied Il similar position in the service
of Young Corbett, views the
Johnson-f'lynn mill With disgust.
Here's the manne in which Tuthill
sizes up the situation. and anybody
who knows Harry knows he has the
light dope on the fight game:
Fireman Jack Flynn may last
n round against JACK johnson. and
he may go through eight or ten; it all
depends on tho champions disposition
on the day Of the fight. Flynn isn't in
Johnson's class. In the first place, he
is much lighter than the champion.
and in the neNt place he is lacking in
Johnson's skill. Flynn can hit fairly
hard. but johnson isn't exactly a
lightweight when il comes to punch.
ing. johnson is too shifty a fighter
for Flynn. The white man will do
we'll to land in half a dozen blows.
On the other hand. johnson will 30
ahl to hit Flynn just about a. ho
pleases. He is the superior to Flynn
in every way imaginable. He is more
scientific. he is shiftier. he can hit
harder. he can assimilate more pun
ishment. he has more experience: in
fact. there isn't a necessity in a fight.
ers makeup in which johnson does
not excel. If johnson wants to end
the fight in one round he will do so.
And if he wants to drag it through
eight or ten rounds. simply to make
the pictures a money-making propo-
sition, he will do that. too. For John
son it will be just like stealing from
a deaf, dumb and blind person."

C0MEBACKER IS IN

Jake Stahl's Success Will Be
Carefully Watched This
t. Summer

Down in the land where the sacred
Goldfish flaps his fins in glee and tho
baked bean vines are in trim, they
are going to have Il couple of re-
~1uvenated teams in u great national
pastiIne this season. The Boston
Americans. otherwise known as the
Red Sox. are coming through with a
manager who is the only double

show.
Garland j. Stahl. Familiarity known
as Jake" is the person to whom
the reference is made. He has been
out of the game for one year and
six. Now he is coming back to both.
For this reason Jack Stahl is a
pretty good character study, and his
career through the season will be
watched with interest, not only by
the Boston brand of bugs, out also
by fan throughout the American
circuit.
Stahl is Of the noted coterie Of ath-
letes which the University of Illinois
furnished to professional baseball. He
was a catcher in the rah-rah team,
and his battery mate was none other
than Ed. Ruelbach. the massive
mounder of the Chicago Cubs. The
pair formed one of the hottest bat
teries which a college team ever
boosted.

Naplanders. was the athletic director

Finally Jake got tired of. living at

and h Highlanders tried to make an

was in 1905.
The dope had Nap Lajoie carded

three years later the ~Frenchman, "in

Larry had been in the game eleven
years when he finished with 1856 in
1906. In 1907 he dropped to 200, un.
der 800 for the first time in his
career, and the tip went out that an
other luminary was fading.
The was confirmed in 1908,
when Nap skidded still further to
.269, and h game was getting poised
to mourn the passing of a famous
landmark.
And then something happened. In
1909 Lajoie started back with 1923.
and in 1910 fought Ty Cobb q neck

wound crippled him for the rest of
the campaign.

NEW YORK TIMES.

James q. Rodgers. the new. coach
of the Yale crews. is a thorough re-
dictionary and believes il getting back
to the old system of training to Eli
crews as quickly as possible. For this
reason he has given orders to have the
old indoor darkroom remodeled and
made ready for occupancy by the
crews. Some four or five years ago
John Kennedy abandoned the rowing
tanks. and the room in which they
were installed, on the same level in
the gymnasium as the old swimming

able to re-establish Yale rowing, and
to accomplish this end he will leave
