PHYSICIAN is PESSIMISTIC OVER
LARRY DOYLE'S ANKLE
BY Mark Shields


clan, Larry Doyle, second baseman,
will not be able to play ball for the
Cubs before the middle of July. This
was the decision after an examina-
ton of Capt. Larry's ankle, broken
last fall.
There is a conflict of opinion on
this question, for only few days ago
another medico said Doyle could i'm
mediately get into the game and do
his darnedest with the prop.
More important than the edict of
the latest physician is the attitude of
Manager Mitchell and other officials
of the North Siders. They have
made no effort to land a yOungster
for the second base job, and Steve
Yerkes has been the only athlete TAX
ing a whirl at the position. Steve is
a good baIlplayer in some ATTITUDES, /
but not in the north during early
spring and summer, when the wealth
er is chilly.
The war correspondents say that |
if Doyle is out of commission Yerkes
will play the bag until Larry is ready. |
But early in the season is the very
time when Yerkes would do his poor
est playing. It is a question of linn |
bering muscles with Yerkes and net |
of early season pitching. His bat !
ting eye is all right and weakness in |
that direction had nothing to do with
him being shaken out Of the big
league.
Doyle himself feels little anxiety
about the ankle. The fact that he
has taken part in none of the prac-
tice games means nothing serious.
He is practicing daily and personally
would, like to take a chance in a
game. But Manager Mitchell is hold
ing him back. Fred will taken no
chances Of a more serious injury in
the exhibition jaUnt along the coast |
Without Doyle the Cubs would be
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-12

a poor team, no better than the club
which finished the season Of 1916.
Doyle is needed to pep up Chuck
Workman and teach him some of the
finer points of big league play. He
has it in his power to make the North
Side infelid.
From all coast reports, DiIIhoefer,.
the Milwaukee catcher, has all the
mechanical requisites of a big league
ballplayer He can throw and his &C
ton is good. At bat he has been a
wallOper against coast league pitch
ing.
50 far as the actual muscle work
is concerned, Manager Mitchell
Opines that DiIIhOefer will do. But
the big question is how the young
ster will stack up when he is pitted
against the brains of big league play
ers. He will be a stranger to the OPP
posing players, will not know their
weaknesses and must trust to the
judgment of his veteran pitchers. He
would be all at sea early in the sea-
son if rookie pitcher was working
for the Cubs. >
A few weeks on the bench, listen
ing to the instruction Of Mitchell and
watching the alien batters, will be
the best prescription III the world
for Dillhoefer.
In beating Los Angeles yesterday
he belted two triples and a homer,
but failed to touch fire base on one
triple and lost credit for it. That is
an inexcusable mistake and no doubt
he heard some burning words from
the manager.
Veteran pitchers of the White Sox
are being brought along slowly at
Wells, but they will get a
taste Of action beginning next Satur-
day, when exhibition games against (
the Texas league clubs begin, In the

ESCAPES
FROM MADISON
Scaled Wall Of Penitentiary With
Rope Struggled In From
Tool Shop-StiII at
LARGO.

FORT MADISON. Iowa, Aug. 1s.-
A sensational prison escape. in which
convict No. 1861. who was serving
a term for breaking and entering,
scaled the walls of the local prison
with the aid Of an improvised rope,
was made Thursday evening about
8 o'clock.
The convict, a negro, who was a
member of the famous Fort Madison
penitentiary saxaphone quartet, was
employed in the plant of the Iowa
Farming Tool company, and had in
some way struggled the rope which
aided his escape into his cell
In some manner gaining the outer
yard of the prison, the negro hooked
the rope over the top of the lofty
wall and was out of the confines and
well on his way to freedom before
his absence was noted and an armed
search instituted. The negro is still
at large.

HOW PHONE
PEOPLE HELP
Statement Issued by Iowa TeIephon.
Company Tells How System 10
Aiding In War
PIana.
For the information

For the information OF
49, those who may desire ia
E@ know OF the conditions fac
E ing the telephone industry at
this time. the following statement is
issued by the Iowa Telephone com.
pany:
Since the very beginning Of the war,
the governments requests for tele-
phone equipment have had precedence
over private requirem ents and govern
ment telephone calls have had the
RIGHT of way over all private messages.
At an expense-in the aggregate
hundreds of thousands OF dollars
comprehensive telephone systems
have been provided for training
camps, and lines of communication
have been installed between military
headquarters, mobilization posts and
commissary depots. Telephones and
special lines have also been supplied
for the troops at bridges, grain depots
and other places being guarded.
In addition to the governments use
of our service, Increased business &C
tivity incident to the war has placed
further demands upon our telephone
facilities. We are handling over 30
per cent more long distance calls. than
of local calls, particularly in the larg-
er cities. has greatly increased.
The long distance telephone facili-
ties out of the city of Washington
have been more than doubled since
the war began and In all the principal
centers both the local and long dis
lance equipment has been greatly in
creased in an endeavor to handle the
heavy telephone burden caused by war
activities.
Nearly 1900 skilled telephone en-
gineers and maintenance men from
the Bell system alone have been or
ganized into signal corps battalions
for service with the armies in the
field. Many more of our men are with
the national guard and in other
branches of the country's military ser
vice.
The situation confronting Us has
caused great difficulty in getting and
installing equipment for the most urg-
ent private needs. Our long distance
facilities are loaded to their utmost
capacity and our local service in some
localities Is suffering on account Of
the conditions over which we have no
control.
AS the war continues the govern
ment's requirements for trained tele-
phone men and for service and equip
ment are increasing. The present
business activity is also likely to be
extended as the war goes on In the
interests of all, we hope that our pat
rons will ask for no additional equip
ment unless absolutely essential to
the condust of their business and that
they will put every possible restraint
on the unnecessary and extravagant
use of our local and long distance
service.

EVERS SAVES
BALL MONEY
PhiIies' Star Proves Himself TO be
Just as Good Financier az
Player-Has Snug Sum
Put BY.

johnny Evers, at present with the
Phillies, has earned quite tidy sum
of money out of baseball. and es3ec-
tally while in the service of the Bos-
ton Braves for three and half
seasons. Johnny Is not only one OF
the brainiest players in the game
but clever business man, as can be
readily observed from the financial
statement compiled relative to what
he drew from the Beantown organ
ization. Johnny got his while the
getting was good, as the old saying
goes
In 1914 Dvers signed contract
with the Braves that many finan-
cier envied He was to draw $4,000
a season for the years Of 1914, 1915,
1915 and 1917, whether the Braves
made a profit or lost money. He re-
ceived a s25, 900 check for his mere
acuuiescence to play ball with the
Braves. The understanding was that
il the Braves finished first he was
to collect $4,000 extra as q bonus
If they finished second, the sum OF
81 500: IL third, $1,000. Evers landed
the bonus each year.
AS an illustration OF the way luck
follows some ballplayers, ponder
over this for while. In his first
year with the Braves the team won
the pennant and subsequently the
worlds series. AS a matter OF fact,
in his first year with Stallings Johnny
made a grand clean up. IN addition
to the bonus Of $4,000 for signing
and $4,000 for the years salary, he
drew an extra $4,000 because Boston
won the pennant and his worlds
series loot was a mere bagatells OF
S2,S12.2S, making his total earnings
for 1914 the nice sum of s39,S12.2S.
In 1915 the Braves finished second
and Johnny drew $4,000 in salary
and a bonus Of s1,50e, making the
total 1880. Last year the Braves
fell to third place and Bvers cashed
in $4,000 in salary and $1,000 in
bonus. making $1,000.
This year Evers played virtually
half a year with the Braves and col
lected approximately $1,000. He will
draw the rest Of the $4,000 from the
Phils. Altogether his services with
the Braves for the three and half
years netted him the net sum OF
s67,312.28 This is more money than
any single player in the majors earn
ned IN the same time.
