 A rain so frostbitten that it looked much like snow fell for a short time, and threatened bad weather tomorrow. The man in the weather tower, however, said with conviction:

 At the American league grounds after sudden cessation of the downpour the sod and the base lines were found to be unimpaired, and interrupted batting practice was resumed by the Chicago team Manager Rowland had invited the New York Nationals to use the grounds this afternoon. After the prac- tice, Manager Rowland called the men together in the clubrooms and they ex- changed views and hopes with each other.
 NEW WORKERS LATE
 The New Workers were late in appear ing in the lobby of their hotel, but when they did, they attracted marked attention. Many representatives of the minor leagues were present
 One important ticket broker had but 20 tickets for sale today, and he had been impressed with the array so op- posed to him that each purchaser was merely given a receipt for his money in the nOCel tlcKeL OII1ce. InlS the pur- chaser had to take to a room rented for the purpose, across the street. to eX- change the receipt for the real ticket. These tactics, it was said, were adopted so that in case of raid the hotel might not be embarrassed. Another special broker had but F tickets.
 The brokers received many inquiries, with bids ranging from $60 to $75 for box seats, but there was no rush, apparently due to the widely advertising measures adopted by President Comiskey to keep the tickets within legitimate channels.
 BLEACHER LINE FORMS
 It was expected that the throngs hop ing to obtain bleacher seats would form tonight. In anticipation of this the cafe concessionaires at the park was busy to- day preparing F'rankfurters and rolls to sell them. Also they will have hot cof- fee to cheer them through the long cold vigil of the night.
 A person known to many baseball fol- lowers as 'Looie,' attained the distnc- tion of being the first person in line. "Looe'' showed up at o'clock this morning with a bag of lunch and took up a position in front of ticket win dow. There he stood alone until the rain began to fall. Observing that no line was forming, he took chance and deserted.

Manager James Russell will continue

some other changes in officers will be
made soon.
The appointment is likely to prove
the most popular that could have been
made. 1t is known that the elevation

since held.
His appointment will not only be a
generally popular one on account Of
the advancement and his interest by

Tells Of Work in
British Hospital

| Members of the Marshall County
Medical Society listened to most in
teresting talk on army hospital work
with the allies in France by DR.. c. r
Howard, Of Iowa City, at the Mar
| shalltown Club Wednesday evening
DR.. Howard was with an American
contingent of doctors and surgeons
who enlisted for service at the west
ern front and were assigned to a base
hospital in the rear of the British front
in northern France for upward of six
months. The experiences Of medical
men and surgeons, as related were
most interesting to the doctors.
The hospital to which DR.. Howard
was assigned had 1,400 beds. 1t was
his opinion, growing out Of his exper-
fence, that the medical men were get
| ting larger benefits out Of their exper-
fences with the armies than We're the
surgeons remarkable as are some
Of the advancements and discoveries
of surgery as a direct result of the
war.
DR.. Howard said that the two great
scourges of camp life. typhoid and
camp dysentery, had practically been
wiped out. He made the statement
that of 100000 men in the British
army in France only 1.400 cases OF ty-
phoid had developed Camp dysentery
has completely disappeared. Vaccina-
ton accounts for the small percentage
of typhoid and sanitation and care OF
the food for the absence of dysentery.
Tetanus, caused by wound infection,
which was a dreaded and quite COM
mon complication in the early months
of the war; had also been overcome in
practically all cases Practice in the
army hospitals, he said, had developed
more and more to leaving undisturbed
bullets, shell fragments, and shrapnel
that could not be very easily removed.
Even in cases where very large frag-
ments of shrapnel were buried in the
tissues, and were found by the X-ray,
no effort was made to remove them
Experience, he said, had proved this
method to be the safest and greatly
lessened the danger of infection by
removal Of the fragments. 1t was the
practice in many cases to not attempt
to remove the fragments until after the
wound had healed.
DR.. Howard described the various
units in the British hospital service
which are stationed between the
trenches and actual firing lines and the
base hospitals. The organization and
management of the field hospitals were
also told OF and especial mention
made of the dispatch and quickness
with which men were received. treated
and made comfortable.
While in the largest city hospitals,
with al! modern conveniences, it often
takes patients an hour to go thru the
necessary preliminary examinations
before they actually are put into d bed.
in these British field hospitals no time
whatever is lost. DR.. Howard stated
that from the time a train load of
prisoners arrived TO the time each
man was taken into the hospital, reg
lstered, assigned room or ward, eN-
amined, treated and made comfort
able with a cup of coffee and a cigare:,
was exactly twentysiX minutes.
DIR. Howard is professor of internal
medicine at the State University of
Iowa.
