Chase for Crawford? May Be Angle
of Chance Deal.

that Frank Chance is to trade Hal
Chase to the Tigers, and this time
the story comes from Detroit, where
the Yanks are playing. Chance is
said to be willing to give Chase for
George MuIlin and Sam Crawford.
Jennings certainly needs a first
baseman. If he was given his choice
Of Chase or Crawford he would prob
ably take Hal But public sentiment
in Detroit, where the Kansan is an
idol, holds him back Mullin has not
pitched winning ball in Detroit this
spring, and was also dissatisfied with
his surroundings last year.
There is a suspicion that the trade,
if it is pulled OFF, viii be another
angle of the three-cornered deal by
which Corriden was sent to Chicago
from Detroit by way of Cincinnati,
Tinker going to the Reds and Chance
to the Yanks. Detroit was the goat.
All Navin got was $4,000 for CorTi-
den, and he could use Red very nicely
now in his weakened infield The
Yanks had all the best of the deal.
Detroit has not been drawing well
this year, and the league may decide
that it would benefit the organization
as whole to ship Chase there With
Chase and Cobb in the same lineup
Navin would have one of the strong
est box Office combinations in the
country. And Crawford would be
just as great an attraction in New
York as Chase. Wahoo Sam has al
ways been, a willing worker, and the
same cannot be said for the Califor-
nian.
Both managers are silent on the
rumored deal. For the good reason
that if it is put through it win be on
the say so of men higher up.

sity Of Pennsylvania athletic trainer,

is held out for his recovery.

At last fans who infest the South
Side ball park had chance to see
the White Sox perform as crashing
clouters. Even Bob Forman saw this
unusual occurrence, no peanut ped
dlers projecting in front of him.
Fourteen hits, thirteen of them
solid smashes, were collected by Cal
lahan's crew, and all but one count
ed in the scoring. Schalk waIoped a
double in the third and the Sox did
not count. In every other inning in
which they dubbed safely they scor-
ed. Evidently the Hose caught the
cleanup week" fever.
Reb Russell, the sensational young
side-wheeler picked up by the SoX in
Texas, pitched peculiar game, dur
ing which he exhibited considerable
gameness. The first fourteen men to
face Russell went out in order, only
two of them arching the pill over the
infield. The fifteenth man walked
and the next was an easy third out
for the fifth inning. Washington had
made nothing which resembled a bit.

reached Bisbee yesterday morning on
one OF his reslar visits. He was &c.
companied from California by his sen,
Walter Douglas who had been on a
visit to Santa Barbara.
DR.. Douglas. stated yesterday .pat
his visit at this time had 70 special
significance; he reiterated that the Fl
Paso * Southwestern Railroad sys-
TEN was not planning any extensions
OF their line beyond Tucson. He
stated that the final arrangements for
the transfersnce of the Golden State
Limited train from the Southern Pa
ciflc to the Southwestern between Il
Paso and Tucson could not be defni-
tely fixed until the legal process OF
separation of the Southern Pacific
and the Central Pacific in compli-
ance with court orders.
Copper Situation.
DR.. Douglas stated that he regard
ed the present condition of the cop
per industry to be satisfactory one.
The recent statement of the Copper
Producers Association. he said,
showed much firmness and besides
the foreign demand for the real metal
at this time is another highly sItis-
factory feature II is net the belief
Of DR.. Douglas that copper will be-
come Cheap" again in the near fut-
ure and he says that bis understand
ing s that SO long as the price re-
mains above IA cents per pound the
producers viii have reason 10 be salts
ned with the market He does not
expect 10 see the price above II cents,
Dut Is OF the opinion that the present
demand viii sustain the price well at
between IS and l6 cents. Tee out
look at present is not for any early
increase in output. The Amalgam1t-
ed discontinued operation on several
of their properties where cost was
high when the copper price reached
IS cents, but all these are now again
in operation. Aside from the Inspira-
ton there is no sign Of considerable
increase in production; il will PROB
ably be two years before the Inspir--
ton will be ready to add its large
product 10 the market. Many of the
plo ucers are in q position to increase
their product should increased action
warrant it, but none Of them are dis
posed TO rush production and are
perfectly tisfied with their present
rset sc g ;;ss::s;;::!!-etion.
DR.. Douglas is enjoying good health
and seems to be retaining his yigor
well. He has been coming to AFiz-
ona three and four times q year FOR
more than a quarter Of a century and
his name will be prominent in the
future history of the copper industry
of Arizona and in other ways connect
ed with its industrial advancement
and prosperity

ABANDON HOPE ALL YE. WHO ENTER HERE
NEW SIGN For COUNTY HOSPITAL

NEW O4A14N 4 YIN ~
Abandon hope all we who enter
here" the inscription which Dante,
the poet, put over the gates of Hell,
might be appropriate over the County
Hospital, according to the facts
brought out in an interview with DR..
Benjamin H. Breakstone, chairman
of 1.-The Abuse of Medical Charities
committee of the Chicago Medical
Society. ~.
There are 70 visiting physicians
who give their services voluntarily to
the County Hospital for the prestige
it gives them and for the chance they
have to experiment on the poor, who
practically are mere clinic subjects as
soon as they enter the hospital" DR..
Breakstone declared.
These physicians are privileged to
come and go as they please. Often
patients die before they are operated
on. A patient is brought to the hos
pital at the last moment, the crucial
moment. He will be prepared for an
operation and given no food, prepare
tory to administering the anesthetic
then what happens?
THE surgeon is busy elsewhere
he may be attending private patient.
He cannot bother with the charity
patient that day. So the charity pa
tient is prepared for the next day in
the same way And the physician
may be too busy the next day, so the
operation will not be performed then.
Perhaps the following day the pa
tent may be third or fourth on the
doctors list, and telephone call may
come from a pay patient which takes
the doctor away-once again the pa
tent is left unattended
"The mental anguish is awful.
Sometimes the patient will come in
with ruptured appendix. An imme-
date operation is the only hope if he
is to live There is no surgeon to

the reporter asked.
Nothing" the doctor answered.
Under the present system, if doc
tor makes mistake through care
lessness or malpractice, he cannot be
held responsible. If he were paid
salary, his livelihood would depend
upon his using care Mistakes would
not occur so frequently"

with the money that is being
wasted in inefficient management
they could pay physicians of different
nationalities, efficient men, and thus
do away with the guesswork of the
visiting physicians
Three doctors appointed to inves-
tigate conditions at the County Tu-
berculosis Hospital advised that a
paid staff should be put in instead of
the voluntary one. If this is true of
the tuberculosis hospital, why should
it not be true of the County Hospi-
tal?"
