1t is not likely that the name of Wild

Wilding, will disappear from the lists
Of future Davis cup matches.
There is younger brother who is
rapidly rounding into the fullness of

ranks left vacant by the untimely death
of the well beloved Tony Wilding.

of the cup matches on New York
courts. He is friend of Frederick B.
Alexander, one of the first American
Davis cup players to visit Australia.
THE younger Winding is every bit
as good as his brother, Tony" said
Fisher. "He was bit shy of the game
because of the achievements of his
elder brother. He just needs a bit of
coming on to be the duplicate of Tony
He's a hard hitting young fellow, who
knows the science and the strokes.

Wallie Schang, stripped of his mask

is doubtful if he would consider any
other terms for the home run king
than he has already offered.
But by drafting one of the greatest
catchers in the league for infield duty
he has indicated that he is near the end
of his resources for third sackers.
Schang is the tenth or twelfth in the
long list Of candidates for the position.
Oldring, Walsh, Murphy, Kopf and
numerous newcomers have had a crack
at it, but none of them showed any
particular adaptability for the place.
Schang has been at the station only
a few days, but he seems to be doing
as well as any of them. He has a
good arm and is fielding neatly.
However, it is not likely that Schane
is lost to the mitt and mask. 1t is
understood that Connie Mack has nc

who have recently been tried out there

dead. Deformed. partly paralyzeu
and subnormal Of brain. the human
mite, whose life was held in the hand
of DR.. II. ]. Ilaiselden, was allowed to
slip back peacefully into the shadowy
mystery whence he came.
Five days was the span OF his life.
He came as do all humans, breathed
the breath Of life, partook Of food,
then slept the unending sleep at the
German-American hospital.
Yet he left behind him a nation agi-
tated by his existence to a degree few
full lives bring to pass.
His going crowded before the eyes
of every living parent the burning
question:
Has a physician the right to Judge
whether life appearing on earth has,
by reason Of deformties and physical
handicaps. right or no right to be
saved?
Doctor Haiselden says he could have
saved the baby by an operation to
complete its digestive system. But
the partial paralysis, the current NAL
formations, he declared, were so great
a bar to happiness or attainment that
he did not feel justified in saving the
baby from the death which nature or
dained. The baby's own parents con
scented to its death.
Chicago. Nov. "a jury OF Chica-
go physicians decided on Friday that
society has the right to refuse life to
a baby born hopelessly defective. DR..

from blame for permitting the death

doomed to life of misery anu use
