GRIFFITH PLEASED.
WITH HIS PLAYERS

'Tf we had only the Giants be-
tween US and the pRnnant, wed have
the worlds series half won right
now" was Manager Grihith's chirpy
remark today after putting away his
toast and coffee. ''The games be-
tween the two clubs are for blood,
Bill Brennan's rotten decisions haV-
ing stirred up bad feelings all around.
I've got the malEings of a good lit
tie ball club. II JanVrin were ready
I'd say we could start as strong as
any other club in the league, and he's
getting stronger every day. 1t won't
be long before he'll be at his best.
Then We'll make 'em all hike some"
GTih came up from Norfolk, accom-
panied by johnson, Harper, HOvlik,
Shaw, and Agnew, leaving Mcbride
in charge Of the club at Richmond
today. This little squad worked out
at noon, with the Old Fox looking on.
Washington fans will get their first
peek at the 1919 squad tomorrow
when the Griffs hook up with the
Giants at Georgia avenue. the game
starting at 3:30 o'clock. Two games
are 20 be played here on Saturday and
Sunday. and then the Washington
lads will rest until Wednesday's
opening contest of the season.
Harry Harper and Jim Shaw will
probably be sent against the Giants
tomorrow, with Walter Johnson and
I'D HovIik facing them on Sunday.
The Giants had TO go twelve in
nings at Norfolk before winning yes
terday's game, a questionable deci-
sion by Umpire Brennan giving Burns
a two bagger and a fieldCr's choice,
letting him score. with two out and
Milan on third Shanks aimed a power

Benny Kauff roamed into the crowd
and made a one-handed catch Of the
drive, running the Griffs' hopes

more than one-half of the population of the nation, are ready to make a serious study of the health situation in their localities, and to work out for themselves practical applications of the science of public health.
 "The Red Cross has in every hamlet and town just the group that might form this nucleus to study health mat ters, to help local health authorities, to extend local health work and to support and strengthen the health ac- tivities of the State and the Govern ment.
 Many plans, both national and State, are under way for the promo tion of public-health work and pub lic-health nursing in the country, but none of these. plans meet the whole need or are possible of immediate entire achievement. There still exist great gaps which may be filled only by the efforts of the people them selves. The Red Cross is developing in it's Chapters and branches, commit tees on nursing activities, to act as volunteer health promoters for the very purpose of filling these gaps"

 Medicine used to be concerned principally in curing the individual sick people. It has now taken on a wholly different aspect, concerning it. self with great energy in the social significance of disease, and it's pre- vention as we'll as it's cure. The treating of diease has become social rather than an individual problem.
 "So successful has this application of scientific public-health measures been that the cities have not only overcome their handicap, but now are actually safer places in which to live than is the country. They have met and triumphed over the dangers of congested population, and are now outdistancing even the natural advan- tages of the country.
 'It is much more difficult to apply scientific public health procedures in the country than in the cities be- cause of the distances between homes Public water, sewer and scavenger systems are not feasible in the coun- try. Nor is it easy to provide ade- quate medical, hospital, nursing and public health facilities. The Country, trading on it's natural advantages, has Jagged behind in joining the modern public health crusade.

"With the coming of peace the Rec Cross is joining in a constructive eff, fort to combat slowly, steadily anc consistently the uncomprehended dis aster of preventable diseases" saic Miss Clara D. Moves, Acting Director, General of the Department of Nurs. ing, American Red Cross.
 In her statement, Miss Moves re. views some of the needs of American for the services of the Red Cross in her fight against these diseases, say ing:
 "In the public mind the Red Cross means disaster relief-a great nation al energy capable of mobilization on almost an hours notice in time of cat astrophe. Previous to 1914 this had meant fire, flood, tornado and earth quake.
 "The most tragic and the most cost ly disaster which has ever faced the United States, or the world, is preven- table disease. Like the poor, it is al- ways with us; we have regarded it with Job-like patience alternating with despair. But we have done lit tie to fight it. With the coming of peace, the Red Cross is joining in a constructive effort to combat slowly, steadily and consistently this uncom- prehended disaster until public health organization and education have be- come universal.
 The need for such activity is very great. Forty-eight thousand Ameri- can soldiers have met 'battle-deaths' with the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Here at home 300,- 900 babies and young children have died, many of whom might have been saved had they received nursing care and possessed the strength which might have been theirs before birth had their mothers known how to safe guard their own health. The nations roll of infant mortality is nine times as long as it's roll of honor.
 Preventable disease claims many American women. Sixteen thousand mothers die every year in giving birth to babies. Perhaps no group of cit- zens are more valuable or more neces- sary to the nation than are these women. This is a fundamental loss to the nation as we'll as to individual and community life.
 Contagious diseases reap great harvests of suffering, both on the part of the child and it's parents, and often brings serious handicaps to future vi- tality and strength. In spite of anti toxin, diptheria alone destroyed 15,- 900 children last year.
 "The condition of the public health is as grave among adults as among children. The nation loses between 150,OOO and 100000 young men and women in the prime of life from tuber- culosis. These deaths, which are complete loss to the nation, are almost entirely preventable. Five hundred thousand more are perhaps bedridden all the time from this one cause. Venereal disease has become so grave a menace that the Federal Govern menu is launching a nationwide pub licity campaign, through the medium of the motion pictures, to check it. The influenza epidemic has a world casualty list of 6,O0O,O00 people. The greatest war in history has no such record as this.

healthier and then it takes me away
from the funny position of a herr
direktor of parrot opera roper
toire."
He was no herr direktor of a par
rot repertoire. He broke away from
the classics the Metropolitan had
presented season after season and
gave the works of modern compos-
ers their first hearing in America.
So in the period from 1906 to 1910
when King Oscar reigned at the
Manhattan, New York renewed it's
acquaintance with or heard for the
first time such operas as ''Salome,"
"Elektra," "Thais," Carmen" lies
Contes d'FIofman," "Quo Vadis,"
lie Jongleur de Notre Dame" and
Louise"
Mary Garden, Tetrazzini, Dali
mores, Bonci, Calve, Zenatello, Mel
ba, Samarco, Renaud, Lima Cavalie-
ri, John McCormack-these are
few of the names mention of the
Manhattan brings to mind.
When he had established himself
in the Manhattan Mr.. Hammerstein
sighed for more worlds to conquer,
and with the encouragement Of
music lovers in Philadelphia he built
a splendid opera house in which he
presented his repertoire.
With each succeeding season the
rivalry between Mr.. Hammerstein's
organization and the older and
more firmly intrenched Metropolitan
Company grew more keen. 1t soon
became apparent that neither New
York nor Philadelphia could sup
port two opera companies of the
first magnitude without heavy loss
es to one or both. AS the strug-
gle between the two increased in in
tensity it was dull day that did
not bring some interesting develop
ment in the form Of artists abducted
from Impresario Oscars camp or of
rumors of offers to the new director
to take charge of the Metropolitan.
Finally the resources Of the
Metropolitan proved more enduring
and in April, 1910, after a season
disastrous financially, Mr.. Hammer
stein capitu1ated. He was in Paris
at the time and the agreement by
which he and his son Arthur with
drew from the grand opera field was
drawn up by Arthur. By this con-
tract the Hammersteins agreed to
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-08-08
August 8, 1919.

Two years later Mr. Hammerstein
became lessee and manager of the
Stadt Theatre, which afterward was
the Windsor in the Bowery. Next
he was associated with Adolf Neu-
endorff in the management of the
Germania Theatre, later known as
Tony Pastors.
1t was in 1880 that he began his
career as builder of theatres, and
he did not give up this work till the
completion of the Lexington Ave-
nue. Opera House thirty-four years
later.
The Harlem Opera House was
the first of the chain. Then fol-
lowed in succession the Columbus,
the Harlem Music Hall, now Hur-
tig & Seamon's, the Manhattan
Opera House, later Roster & Bials,
the Olympic, which was taken from
him by the New York Life Insur-
ance Company on mortgage for
100000; the Victoria, the Republic,
the Manhattan Opera House, the
Philadelphia Opera House, the Lon
don Opera House, and the Lexing-
ton Avenue Opera House.
1t was around the Victoria and
the Manhattan that the skein of Mr..
Hammerstein' life was most closely
wound. In the latter he won his
richest laurels as an impresario,
and it was the former that enabled
him to launch his various opera
projects. The Victoria was the
goose that laid the golden egg from
which Hammersteinian opera was
Matched. When Mr.. Hammerstein
leased the Times Square property,
now the centre of the theatrical dis
trict, there was livery stable on it.
But so sure was his vision that from
the beginning the theatre prospered,
and for many years it has earned
steady annual income, estimated at
quarter of million.
There is legend that every Sat-
urday night during the opera season
an express wagon used to back up
to the Victoria and take the weeks
receipts to the Manhattan to make
up the deficit. Perhaps like all
legends this contains something of
exaggeration with only basis OF
fact. but there can be no doubt that
Mr.. Hammerstein's opera exploits
cost him much money, although he
was always loath to admit it.
