GIVEN RIGHT TO APPEAL

Hereafter when the president
Of the National league suspends
a player for more than ten days
an appeal can be filed with the
board Of directors. When Mr..
McGraw was set down for 16
days last summer for his trouble
with Umpire Byron, there was
no provision for an appeal, there
being a conflict between the ma
tional agreement and the
leagues constitution. The New
York club wanted to have Nc
Graw's suspension reviewed by
the directors, but was overruled.
The magnates, at their recent
meeting, simply cleared the at

ROLL OF HONOR GROWS
Nothing in Talk About Ball Play

Many Stars Have Enrolled Their
Names and Departed for Training
Quarters-List Given Is Worthy
of Attention.

Desist from the talk about big
league ball players hanging back
from the fire, and lodging their duty
in the trenches! That sort OF STUN
was first heard early last summer,
when the boys didn't hurl themselves
forward en- masse and demand enlist
ment in a body. 1t doesn't go any
more. Not for anyone who has kept
track of the quiet fashion in which
the players have been steT ting up 10
the enrolment offices, &c ting their
names upon the papers, and heading
for the training camps. Count them
up; take note of the number OF play
ers carried by big league teams, ana
then see what sort of dodgers these
young fellows arel
The roll here offered is doubtless in
complete, for not day passes without
some player hurrying his name to head
quarters. Moreover, lots OF them
have signed up with the colors at lit
tie, out-of-the-way hamlets, and 1t may
be weeks before all the names are
known. But the list, as it Is, tells It's
own story, and deserves attention.
Here's how the roll of honor stands:

creasing. the Hammond board of health
reported today.
In Hammond and West Hammond the
shortage of doctors is felt so keenly that
it is believed the physicians will have
to get together and adopt a set of rules
so that the greatest number Of patients
can be served.
The rules would be as follows. it was
stated today:
No calls from ten o'clock at night un-
til six in the morning unless in extreme
emergency.
See no patients at the office except
between 2 and in the afternoon and
make 10 calls between and in the
afternoon except in extreme emerg-
encies.
In case the work continues TO be
greater than the supply and capacity of
doctors it may be necessary to district
the city and give each Of the seventeen
doctors a district to cover. That will
save time as well as energy.

said:

victuaIed. The alimentary conditions
are lamentabIe. Bandages and the like
are lacking. Physicians declare the race
