WOMEN URGING LAW
FOR SUNDAY BASEBALL

Albany, n. Y. March 20.-Sunday
baseball found its chief supporters
before the senate and assembly
codes committee today among the
women. There was a large delega-
tion Of them lined up with the base
ball fans. to urge favorable action
on the Lawson-Kiernan proposal to
permit professional baseball games
after 2 p. m. on Sundays. They all
wore red badges, declaring their ad-
vocacy of Sunday baseball.
The opposition. confined mostly to
clergymen, was not handled with
kid gloves. The women. backed by
representatives of labor. assailed
the church for attempting TO stop
a clean and healthy sport from be-
ing played at a time when the work
ing people could reap its benefits.

shotton and Rice Workout.

Ray Morgan, Sam Rice and Bert
Shotton took their initial swings at
the ball today. It was the first
workout for both Morgan and
Shotton. The watchcharm second
sacker Is almost down to weight
and moves around with an old time
form.
Shotton is still weak from the
operation OF having his tonsils re-
moved last week, as the speedy
outfielder has not taken any solid
food since last Monday. Young
Lynch who was under the weather
with a slight attack of stomach
trouble yesterday. worked at both
drills today. Although he showed
signs of still being sick. He did not
slack in the work he was called
upon to do.
Uncle Nick worked in the morn
ing drill. but was excused from the
afternoon session as Griff desires
to have him in shape for the comedy
end of the game against the 10Sth
Field Artillery. on Saturday after
noon.
The lameness has completely left
Earl Yingling's arm. The golfing
bug believes that he is once more
himself and that he will be in shape
to work a few innings against the
Sammies from Camp Hancock, on
Saturday. George Dumont is still
troubled with a sore wing. and was
not allowed to take too much work
today.
Final details for the game Satur-
day were settled by the Old OK
this morning. Capt Walter Camp,
jr., who is. athletic director at the
cantonment. met the Old Fox today
and completed details of the adver-
tising and the handling of the large
crowd which is expected to attend.
The Augusta fans are awaiting
anxiously for this contest, as the
10Sth Artillery men have won quite
place in the hearts OF local fans
and many of these Dixie rooters are
believing that the soldiers have a
chance of putting one over on the
major leaguers.
The boys in khaki are sure to
turn out strong for the battle, as it
is now the one big topic at Bon Air
Heights. Uncle Nick has been ap-
pointed official advertiser, as his
gang made up of Sammies and him
self are due TO bill the town to-
morrow. Frank Taylor, who is con-
,nected with the revenue office here.
Strengthened out the Old Fox on the
prices of admission for this game
and both fans and Sammies will be
compelled to kick in with the war
tax.
Billy Armstrong, the boxing in
structor at Camp Hancock, who is
promoting the fights to be held at
the park on Saturday night, was a
visitor today and has invited the
entire National party to take in the
fistic combats as his guests. The
Old Fox is the ideal Of the Sammies
at the cantonment. The demands
for the outfits handed out by GrIf-
fith's bat and ball fund grow each
day and the Nationals pilot was all
smiles today when he visited the
camp and saw baseball games 60

SPANISH FLU
SUSPECTED HERE
SAY PHYSICIANS
Board Of Health and City
Commissioners Meet to Dis
cuss Situationi Committee
to Investigate and Report,

The special meeting OF the board Of
health last night was called by the
city authorities at o'clock after
number of cases of suspected Spanish
influenza had been reported TO the
city physician. 1t was stated that
several cases had been sent to the city
from Gallup and placed in local hos
pitfalls which had q number of indi-
cations of being the real Spanish
flu The railroad authorities were
notified not to accept passengers for
Albuquerque from points in New
Mexico suspected of having influenza
in any form
There is no doubt but that there
is an epidemic of some form of in
fluenza existing in Albuquerque ac-
cording to one member of the board
of health. who specified a number of
cases which had como under his OBJ
servation during the last several days
High temperature. aching bones and
other symptoms impressed the author
tiles to such an extent that it was be-
heved advisable to prepare to stop all
public gatherings in the event the
disease is present in Albuquerque
The city commissioners last night
authorized the board of health to >in-
cur all necessary expense in connec-
ton with laboratory work, observa-
ton and if deemed important, to wire
for a specialist from Chicago or any
other eastern city where the disease
has definitely made its appearance
To determine whether or not Span
ish influenza exists in Albuquerque,
a committee of three memGers of the
medical profession was appointed last
night at joint meeting of the board
of health and the city commission,
for the purpose of making a complete
investigation into cases reported to the
authorities as having suspicious symp-
toms of the dread disease which is
sweeping over the country, taking it's
toll in death and severe illness.
Provided the committee reports
that Spanish influenza exists in AL
buquerque n special meeting of the
board of health will be called, at
which it is quite likely that an order
will be issued, closing all schools,
| churches, picture shows. dance halls
and places of public gatherings. Pend
ing the result of the investigation, the
board of health last night advised
people generally not to participate in
public gatherings. not to visit back
and forth among neighbors. and to
stay away from crowded places.
/ 1t is believed that the report of the
committee named last night to investi-
gate the situation here will be made
to the board of health within the next
orty-eight hours. The report is to
be very thorough and to be based
