of the Potomac League. 1t meets Bu-

lea que to play over the game with Ma
chinists tomorrow is not reversed to-
night by the commission the final game
Of the schedule will take place then If
Bureau is the victor this afternoon and
tomorrow ii will be tied with the Ma
chiniStS for first honorS in the second
half Of the schedule. In that event an
extra contest would be played with the
Machinists. Tom Crooke. captain Of
the Steel Plant. does not hesitate to
express his opinion TO the effect that
Steel Plant will beat out the Ma
chinists if it gets on even terms with
that club.
If there is one club in the amateur
leagues which has been consistently
admired by the followers OF the vari-
Gus circuits, that represents the United
States Marine Corps. 1t has always
proved good sportsmen under any and
all conditions. That being true. many
are exceedingly glad to know that the
team still has a chance to win the
championship Of the Governmen ent
League. True, it is an outside chance.
hut il is chance just the same.
Treasury holds half game lead over
Marines and Agriculture. The two last
mentioned clubs are to meet in one
more contest and the winner viii then
tie in the second half of the season.
The greatest need of the team hereto
fore has been good pitching, and now
Brewer seems to be filing that require =
ment well. The Marines have a diff :
cult task in front of them. but they
managed to pull through last year in a
close. hard fight with Bureau, and such
q thing is not beyond possibility now
The Clarendon team and Alexandria
Eagles are tied for first honors in the
fight for the championship of northern
Virginia. Victories by those teams yes
terday over the Cardinals and White Sox
gave them the margin. each with three
victories and one defeat. Clarendon de-
feated the Cardinals. by to 3, and the
Eagles took the measure of the White
Sox. - to 3. The Eagles outclassed the
White Sox rather easily. but the Claren-
don aggregation was rather lucky to win
as it got only four hits against eleven for

Magic Of the knife
By Frederic J. Haskin.

A few months ago plate printer
employed in the bureau of engraving
and printing hurt his thumb. The in
jury appeared slight and he neglected
to have it attended to until bone
felon formed which greatly interfered
with his work. When he finally did
seek medical attention il looked If
the entire thumb would have to be
amputated- Instead, however, at the
suggestion of his physician. he entered
the Polytechnic Hospital in Philadelphia.
where his thumb was restored by a
unique method. Unscientifcally speak
the right side of his abdomen and
nodded into new thumb, which for
all practical purposes is good as
the old one. To be sure. there are a
few things to be desired so far as the
sculpture is concerned. and the digit
lacks a certain natural fiexibility, but
the important fact remains that the
printer has a thumb with which to re-
sumo his work.
With surgery in this high stage OF
perfection. joyriding and the handling
of high explosives begin to lose theii
terrors for us. and to suggest the pos
sible means of changing certain facial
chara acteristics that tend to mar oui
beauty. Many people are constantly
irritated by the shape of their noses
for instance. and If these could be
mashed into pulp and then sculptured
by the plastic surgeon at the expense
of a generous slice OF double chin the
accident insurance companies would be
compelled to go out of business. Ir
order to protect these last brisk and
up-to-date business concerns from
bankruptcy, however, it should bt

cleansed his thumb thoroughly. then
they made an incsion in his abdomen
near the appendix and attached the
end of his thumb to the flesh with sew
eral stitches Here it stayed for sew
eral days until it had grown fast to
his body, after which it was separate
by the knife and the skin nodded into
the thumb contour. The cavity left in
the abdomen was taken care of by an
other skin grating operation. In the
case of face wounds. however, this
method is. of course, impossible since
unfortunately nature made no adequate
provision for grating the face on to
anything but the neck.
Plastic surgery has been practiced
more or less indifferently throughout
the ages. One occasionally reads of
some learned Italian OF the sixteenth
century who was exceptionally ski1lful
in building out cheeks and noses. and
many remarkabl BILE tales have come from
the beauty parlors. But plastic sur
gerry today is saving the lives of half
the wounded of Europe. Owing to the
great amount of trench fighting which
is taking place in this war. the ma
jorty of the wounds are head wounds.
and the surgeons of Europe are daily
performing surgical feats in face con-
struction that are little less than
miracles.

plate printer 1t is a curious scientific
fact that only the mans own flesh will
suffice for an operation of this kind, or
that of his twin. so that there is not
the trouble of obtaining material. as is
often the case with blood TRANSMISSION.
one young woman who visited the
military hospitals of Europe asserts

the case Of n soldier who gladly gave
up part of his in order to supply por-

off in battle. He is now able to sneeze
with perfect equanimity.
Another man brought into the Ameri-
can Ambulance Hospital had a frac-
turcd jaw, and an ugly void where
there should have been chin. After
much pGinstaking work, the surgeon
was able to rebuild this mans face out
of chaos. The dental department first
attended to his jaws. and then, the
wound clean, the surgeon succeeded in
drawing the mans lips up and in
stitching and moiuing ms cnueks so as
to form a part of his chin. the other
part being formed by the new skin.

This man. of course, will always have
marred face. but if it had not been

Plastic surgery is not the only kind
of surgery that has developed in the
European war. The wounded have
poured into the military hospitals
throughout Europe, crowding the wards
and strainins the equipment to the
utmost. Surgeons have been known to
operate on many as 300 patients in
four days, yet the ma ajority of these are
ma jor opera tions-and, what is more
important. the ma jority of them pun
A common case, for instance,
is that of a man who has been wound

Under these circumstances, the military
surgeons sews the pieces OF the nerve

successful operations in which the sur

game from the White Sox yesterday;

even break in the series with the

The game was a one-to-one tie in the
ninth inning. The White Sox were first
to score, in the sixth inning, when with
one out Eddie Collins singled. Jack
sons grounder to Morgan put Collins
on second and then Boehling hit Ness.
Fe,sch followed with a single to left
and Collins ran home with the run
which seemed sufficient to win the
game, but thanks to Rice's good eye he
got a base on balls in the seventh. Will
liams made neat sacrifice and put
Rice on second. Morgan, who had four
safe drives in as many times up, came
along with single to center. Felsch
made perfect throw to the plate. and
Rice, by a great sprint from second and
an evasive slide. reached the plate in
safety and tied the score.
Boehling pitched the seventh inning
and Wolfgang also went through the
eighth. In the eighth Griffith sent
johnson to the slab and he retired the
SoN in order. Rowland to offset the
effect of johnson coming into the
game, brought out Faber. who had
scored a victory over Johnson Friday.
