ONE remedy, SUICIDE. = NE

ONE REMEDY, SUICIDE. - The
best remedy for wOrkingman suf-
feTing from a chronic disease is sui
eide. An acute disease may run its
course and subside, but a chronic
ailment must be eradicated by the
direct Intervention of man.
The standing of the medical and
surgical professions in Chicago at
present is so low that 80 per cent of
them on the score of lack of ability
are barred from intervening in the
war between health and disease
waged in the body. They would I'M
dOubtedly be prO-disease. The other
10 per cent who have ability are in
such demand by those who have
money that their services are forever
beyond the reach of the poor man.
The grasping cOmmercialism that
envelopes the medical profession in
Chicago has made the second-story
man and burglar respectable citi-
zen in comparison. Few are the lives
sacrificed needlessly by the burglar
and those few are given wide public
ity. I wish 1 could compliment the
M. DIS likewise. Undoubtedly the
wide publicity in case of the burglar
and the secrecy in the case of the
doctor is widely responsible for the
low morality resultant from the
burglars profession; the high NOR
taIty resultant from the doctors pro-
fessiOn.
Yes, there is a tremendous amount
of suffering in the city which could
be relieved by proper. medical atten-
ton, but the small percentage of
physicians capable of graduating a
disease without graduating the or
ganism containing the disease are
monOpolized by the mOneyed class.
This leaves the workers without a
remedy for chronic ailments, except
suicide. Many of them hire a scrub
doctor to do that.

Indiana University to
Cut Athletic Expenses

Bloomington, Ind, June 2.-The
athletic department Of Indiana uni
versity has begun curtailing expenses
on account Of the war by announcing
that Ray Whisman, base ball coach,
and Harvey w. Cohn, track coach,
would not be employed during the en-
tire school year in the future. 1t is
probable that neither will accept a
part year contract and Ewald o.
Stiehm, director of athletics, will
have to look for new coaches. In ad-
dition to cutting down expenses, it
was felt that so large a coaching staff
would not be necessary during the
war, as large number of Indiana
students have enlisted.
Guy Lowman, who coached the
varsity basket ball team and had
charge OF the freshman foot bali and
base ball teams, will be retained along
with Coach Stiehm.
Whisman is a graduate Of Morning
side college, where he was an all
round athlete. He pitched profess
sional base ball for seven years before
taking up coaching. Cohn took part
in the st. Louis, Athens and London
Olympic games and before coming to
Indiana was director Of athletics al

TRAP nAaI
FIELD IL E1|
By PETER p. CARNEY.

Edward Banks has written an inter-
esting article on hints for the begin
ner in the trapshooting sport. A part
Is as follows;
There are, strictly speaking, two
classes OF beginners among those who
start shooting at clay pigeons thrown
from traps, and these two classes are
about as widely different as they
could possibly be.
"One class (and quite large one)
is made up of field shots, more or less
expert, men accustomed to and skilled
in the handling of shotguns, From
the ranks of such have come most of
the best trap shots in the world, men
who have made wonderful records and
demonstrated what hand and eye can
do when backed up by perfection in
gun and ammunition. With Begin
ner OF this class but few hints are
necessary.
with the other class, however, the
beginner pure and simple--the man,
woman or child who perhaps has
never had gun in hand before, much
has to be learned before the novice
graduates and becomes an expert. In
this class are many town and CITY,
bred men, who have all the quaiifca-
tions so far as hand and eye are con-
cerned, who may excel or hold their
own with others at billiards, tennis,
etc, but who have never had an op-
portunity to become acquainted with
! gun. Given the chance and the
necessary amount of practice, there Is
no reason why they should not find
places high up in the ranks of the ex-

DUNDEE SEEKS ONE
CRACK AT CHAMPION
Four Times Johnny Thought He
Had Match Cinched, but
Lost Out Each Time at
Last Minute.

New York, June 2.-Now that
Freddie Welsh has shown that as a
champion he is on a par with AL Nc
Coy, all the contenders are making
plans to relieve him Of the lightweight
title. Benny Leonard, in particular, is
anxious to try for the honors, but un-
fortunately for him Welsh's show
ing against Kilbane was so dis
appointing that there is no demand
to see him in action again, even
against Leonard, and unless Welsh is
well paid he refused to enter the ring.
Johnny Dundee would like crack
at Welsh before some one else gets
there first. Dundee has been most un-
fortunate in his dealings with Welsh.
Before the latter won the title Dun
dee took him on for ten rounds and
practically held him even, although
at that time Welsh was in great form
and was making all the leading men
of the class look like second raters.
At least four times since then Dun
dee thought he had a match clinched,
but on each occasion something came
up to prevent the bout. The first dis
appointment came when club at
Ulmer park arranged a match be-
tween the lightweights for its opening
attraction. However, the fans refused
to make the long trip to the new
arena, and as the crowd did not come
up to expectations, there was not
enough money in the house to cover
Wclsh's guarantee, so the bout was
called off.
Some months later Dundee almost
got into the ring with Welsh at the
Garden when the opponent originally
selected for Welsh was compelled to
call off the engagement. Dundee
showed up at Madison Suare Garden
with his fighting trunks under his
arm all ready to go on, although he
had not any training, but Welsh pre-
ferred to take on Willie Beecher, and
the latter got the bout, although he
had done nothing to deserve match
with champion.

league in Newark and Baltimore,
where the Feds had driven him out.
The American association did not
have its circuit invaded by the Feds.
Last winter the idea Of a winter
league schedule was broached and
favorably received. The two pennant
races were to end in August and each
International league team was then to
play series Of games in each Ameri-
can association city. The association
teams were to come east and finish
the season in International league ter
ritory.
Bad Weather Hit This League.
The International league has suf-
fered from the backward weather fully
as much as the American association,
yet there has been no public talk OF
quitting. For several weeks Hickey
and Joe Cantillion, owner of the
Minneapolis club, harped on the pos
sibility Of the American association
closing up altogether or OF cutting
team limits and salaries and finally
Hickey arbitrarily called off the In
terleague series, leaving the Interna-
tional league in serious predicament.
There seems to be no way the In
ternstional can force the association
to play out the original schedule.
The international schedule is nov-
city, and It would be more practical
in bad season than a good one, as
It would furnish base ball fans in six
teen cities with new attractions after
August, when, as a rule. all but few
teams are out of the pennant races.

HICKEY Is POUNDED
ALL OYER The LOT
Eastern Ball Team Owners In.
sist that They Are Not
Ready to Quit Playing
the Game.

New York, June 2.-The action Of
President Hickey Of the American as
sociation In calling off the 'home and
home" series between the American
association and the international
league two months before il was
scheduled to start is denounced in
base ball circles here.
One or two club owners In the
American association joined Hickey,
but the others maintain that they are
not ready to close up shop. The
league has weathered q bad start, but
the harvest days are at hand. Just
how II will profit the club owners Of
the American association to close
their parks and carry an overhead ex-
pense, with nothing to meet 1t, is
something that Hickey has not fg-
urcd out.
Always q Money Maker.
The American association has been
the most prosperous OF strong minor
leagues. II has maintained unbrokcn
for several years compact circuit Of
large cities in the middle west, where
base ball Is most popular. It is q
league that develops few players for
faster company, for the reason that
Its patrons demand high class base
ball, and the league has seen At to
supply this by employing players who
have dropped back from the major
leagues, and others who are about
ready for the big show, but lack ex-
perienee.
The Federal league war almost
wrecked the international league, but
was hardly felt in the American asso-
cistion. The Feds made an agree
rnent to keep off the association be-
cause they did not covet many Of its
players. The American, National and
International leagues fought the Fed
eral, whipped It, and then the Amer
lean association took most Of the ex-
Feds.
Hickey Spreads Alarm.
Club owners Of the American asso-
citation have enjoyed many prosper.
GUS seasons, and now, at the first sigr
OF distress, some Of them want te
quit. At least. Hickey spreads thal
impression.
| The International league nevel
would have survived but for its fight
ing boss, Edward Barrow. For th,
last three years Barrow has WORKED
increasingly to hold his circuit to
gether. The Feds wrecked some o.
his best teams and certain club own
ers acquired cold feet and tried te
quit--eyen those who had mad,
plenty of money out Of the game il
previous years.
Barrow's task was thankiess ant
almost hopeless, but he prevailed. H,
dug up the necessary backing fol
weak club and rc-established tn,
