restoring the confiscated liquor to the
claimants. The county prosecutor
concurred in this opinion Of the claim
ants attorney and the justice ordered

At the doors of the hospital for de-
formities and joint diseases, DR.. Fried

with him in out of the rain and admin
lister his treatment. The patients he
attended however, were ones already

hospital and he had to force his way
through the crowd of disappointed men

COLLEGE BASEBALL
SEASON TO OPEN.

New York, March 21.-The initial
games in the intercollegiate baseball
season of 1918 are scheduled for to-
morrow. Several of the big Eastern
colleges have games scheduled for
that day, and another week will see
virtually all of them go to bat. In
accordance with their custom the
teams of Yale, Cornell and several
of the other big colleges have gone
South to play their opening games.
Confident reports as to the outlook
for the season have emanated from
the training cages the past few weeks.
The fear most entertained is on the
score of the pitching STATS. Except
in one or two of the big colleges in
the East the twirlers are not the
same men who did the work last year
and the lack of seasoned men in the
boxes is troubling the coaches.
