DR.. Simon Flexner Of the Rockefel-
Ter institute, who has just received one
of the French governments highest
decorations, told story at a New
York dinner.
"The medical ignorance OF some peo-
pie is staggering" he said. II know
an X-ray specialist who got a letter
from a middle western farmer the 9TH
er day. The farmer wrote:
"Dear Sir: have had nail in my
thorax for II years. / am too busy
to come to New York, but want you to
come down here to Paris Corners with
your rays, as my case will be worth
your while. If you do not find time
to come, send a dozen rays boxed, by
express, with instruction card, and |
will. try to work same myself
'The X-ray specialist wrote back to
the farmer of Paris Corners:
"Dear Friend: regret to say that
business engagements prevent a trip
to Paris Corners, and I am unfor-
tunately out of rays just now. If you
cannot come to New York, send me
your thorax by parcel post and we will
see what can be done.'"

that chemists, under the spur of de-

of 1000 tons of apricot pits, which
were formerly sold to Germany and
Denmark at $45 ton. When the wal

PACKING INDUSTRY INVESTIGATION

When the hearings are resumed the

being allotted to the packers and the
remainder to the producing and con-
suming public,it is announced by a
member of the committee. 1t is eX-
pected that the leading men of the
meat packing industry will be called
for the first week, including such men

The last week will see the appear
ance of limited number of represen-
tative men engaged in stock growing
ing industry, farmers and ranchmen
from all sections of the country, the
larger number naturally being from
the West.
The testimony of these men will be
of greater value, according to mem
ber of the committee, than that OF
the 200-odd witnesses heard during
the sessions to date. Most Of the lat
ter testified with practical uniformity
that the packers were misunder-

not be interfered with as they were
not responsible for the high costs OF
meat products. During the three

ed form letters and kilograms to the
same effect.
Senators investigating the packing
situation consider it significant that
a half-dozen of these witnesses frank
ly admitted that their expenses to
Washington had been paid by the
packers.
During the last few days of the com
mittee's sessions number of witness
es friendly to the Kendrick and Ken
yon measures were heard. They were
representatives of stock growers, and
there is little doubt that their testi-
mony had great weight with the COM
mittee, according to one of it's men,
bers.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear on the committee members by the
business interests, it is freely assert
ed, but no attempt has been made to
place them on record by unofficial
vote as yet. There are sixten sena-
tors on the Committee of Agriculture,
and so far friends of the Kendrick and
Kenyon bills, from which the final
Senate measure will be evolved, count
half this number as probably being
with them.
Because of the public interest in
some regulation of the packers, which
is expected to materially assist in the
reduction of the costs of meat pro-
ducts, it is taken for granted some
sort of licensing bill will be reported
by the committee, but there are
troublesome features arising. The
committee in merging the Kendrick
and Kenyon measure will have to de-
eide whether non-related industries
must be taken into consideration
| For instance, the refrigerator lines
maintained by the big packers are
sometimes used for the transportation
of eatables other than meat. 1t is
asserted that canned goods and grocer
les are sometimes shipped in refrig-
orator cars to favored points, often
enabling one consignee to obtain his
stuff much quicker than is possible for
his competitors. This, too, it is av-
verred takes trade away from the
wholesale grocers, who bitterly resent
the practice. This phase of the mat
ter is treated of in the Kenyon bill,
and it is a question whether it will
not form a separate measure event
ually.

But the Giants couldn't stay up or the
dodgers just wouldn't stay down. The
Flatbushers bobbed up to even terms
with the Giants in the seventh and Al
Mamaux slipped a single between the
portly limbs of Jean Dubuc in the
eighth, whacking in the winning Dodger
run. That's the acme of every finger
to win his own game with hit. The
Dodgers won this seesaw bout by a

Congratulates Ruth.

II must congratulate Ruth upon his
great work. It's wonderful for a man
to break a record that has stood for
twenty years. especially in the face OF
the fact that American League pitchers
have been working their hardest against
Ruth all season and passing him almost
every time he was nm there In n pinch.
Look at Ruth's record and you will see
at once he is a real batter, not a freak.
"The fact that he is home run
hitter merely proves he has the faculty
of meeting the ball squarely with every
ounce of his great strength back Of his
swing Look at Ruth's wrists and you
will find they are tremendous. A man
who hits as hard as he does must have
abnormal development Of wrist and
forearm"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-As the result
of wild, fantastic first inning, in which
Senatorial hits were jumbled with ex-
traordinary errors by the Yankees, the
Griffith athletes to-day scored a to l
victory over the Higgins clan and adj
ministered the second beating suffered
by Carl Mays since his reinstatement by
the board of directors of the American
League.
Mays himself was in a measure re-
sponsible for the defeat, for he contrib
uted a wild throw, hit a batsman and
yielded a pass all in that boisterous
first session. A two base mum by Few
ster was the other item that went far
toward giving the victory to the SEN
ators.
After the first frame Mays settled
down to his regular profession of pitch
ing pennant ball, and the Senators never
again sot within hailing distance Of a
, run.
All that was necessary to assure Yam
kee success was for the ball bruisers 10
get busy with their war clubs. But right
here Jim Shaw obtruded himself into the
discussion, and 80 elusive was his deliv-
cry that the Yankees got but single
| tally, and that in the sixth inning.
Although the Senators and Walter
johnson are solidly anchored in seventh
place, without any chance OF getting out
of it, the 10000 persons who witnessed
I the contest were delighted with the
| achievement.
Senatorial Luck.
There was considerable luck In the
manufacture of the four large runs col
lected by the Senators in the first frame.
Judge opened the session by sendlhs
slow tantalizing grounder in the direc-
ton of Pratt. He met the roller win
all possible celerxy, but 1t moved so
| lazily that the runner beat the thro" '"
! first by three winks.
Then came Leonard, who whacked the
| hail To right with considerable violence.
Fewster made a fine run and got under
| the spheroid, but muffed ingloriously,
| and Judge reached third and Leonard
| second on the error.
Give Milan thumped the leather for
a clean single and Judge and Leonard
| romped home. On Bodies throw 10

for second. The throw was Intercepted

Special DESPATCH to tbs Sun.

TOLEDO Ohio, Sept. 6.-"Buck" Freer
man. who until last Friday was the un-
disputed holder of the major league
home run record of twenty-five, is an
umpire in the American Association and
was at work on the field here when the
announcement was megaphoned yester-
day that Babe Ruth had equalled the
record.
Freeman took of his mask, smiled APP
provingly, declared that he was pleased
with Ruth's success and was applauded
as he resumed his task of judging balls
and strikes.
Freeman held a reception in the office
OF Roger Bresnahan. manager of the
Toledos. after the game and discussed
the subject of home runs in general and
the achievements Of himself and Ruth in
particular. Freeman said:
was convinced several weeks
ago Babe Ruth would at least equal.
II he did not surpass, my home run
record"
THE record Was made in 1899 when
was with Washington. Many fans
and former baseball writer's had the
impression that 1 was with the Boston
team. but this is wrong. l never could
hit like Ruth. /, couldn't take a swing
like the big fellow, because l didn't have
the physique"
mo, Buck, you were choppy hit
ter, but you put lot of punch behind
that old war club" said Bresnahan.
Say. II you had been as big as Babe
Ruth there's no telling what you might
have done that year"
