FRED PLAISTED KEEPS BERTH
Veteran Will Have Charge OF RoWine
Equipment at coIumbia-Will Do
No Coaching.

Fred Plaisted, who for five years
was assistant coach in charge OF the
Columbia University freshmen crews
under direction of Jim Rice, has been
re-engaged by the Columbia authori-
ties to serve as general assistant at
the Union Boat clubhouse, where the
Columbia oarsmen will make their
Headquarters. Plaisted will not be re-
CURED to do any coaching because OF
his advanced years, but he will have
full responsibility for keeping the
barges, racing shells, sweeps and all
other equipment at the b~oathouse IN
order.
Plaisted is one of the best known
Of professional oarsmen this country
has developed. He was at his prime
in the seventies, when the Ward broth
ers were sweeping all before them. He
won many races, both as a single scull-
err and teamed in crews with other
professionals. His first college en-
gagement was with Bowdoin and later
he was in charge of all equipment at
Yale. He first game to Columbia in

JIMMY SMITH QUITE
LUCKY BALL PLAYER

a ball player who is not a regular
on a championship team, but who
draws a share of a world series purse,
is naturally counted very fortunate.
Jimmy Smith, utility infelder of the
Reds, has "sat OUT his second worlds
series, and for the second time re-
ccived a eat sum of money without
having to work for it.
Smith received $5,2O7.O1 as his
share of the series money between
the Reds and White Sox. All he had
to do for this "gob" of cash was to
run for Sherwood Magee, pinch hit
ter, and to get into an argument with
Eddie Collins.
In 1917 Jimmy was with the Giants,
and drew down a bundle of coin in
the fall, though he did not take part
in the series with the White Sox.

come through in the pinches against
the Reds is no doubt what has started
the fans to wondering if, like all other
great players, Collins is finally com7
ing to the end Of his rope in the
big show.
AS ages go, Collins is still a young
man. He is only thirty-two, but for
a ball player, and particularly an in
fielder, that is a rather ripe age. And
as service goes he is one Of the real
veterans in the big leagues. He has
been playing professional baseball
since 1906. He has seen IA seasons
come and go in che national pastime.

BAR ALL GERMAN ATHLETES
Will Not Be Permitted to Participate
in Olympic Games in 1920
in Belgium.

German and Austrian athletes have
been barred from the Olympic games
in 1920 and may be perpetually dis
franchised from participation in all in
ternational sports.
This announcement was made re-
Gently at a dinner at the University
club by Elwood s. Johnson, director
of "Y" athletics in the A. E. f., who
has just returned from a conference
with the Belgian Olympic committee.
BY mutual agreement the enemies Of
the allies will be denied admission
next year, and France and Belgium
will propose to make the i~neligibility
perpetual, Johnson said.
The games will be held next year in
an immense stadium outside of Ant
werp that was built by the Germans
during their occupation and used for
training soldiers and their 'turn ver-
ems"

Acid-Stomach.
EATONIC, the wonderful new stomach
remedy in pleasant tasting tablet form that
you eat like a bit of candy, brings quick
relief from these stomach miseries. EATON-
&c sweetens the breath because it makes the

If neglected, Acid-Stomach may cause you
a lot of serious trouble. 1t leads to ner-
vousness, headaches, insomnia, melancholia,
rheumatism, s~ciatica, heart trouble, ulcer
and cancer of the stomach. II makes its
millions of victims weak and miserable,
~listless, lacking in energy, all tired out. 1t

incident to their military service; al
most Is per cent were the victims of
tuberculosis, and not quite IL per cent
were afflicted with temporary or per-
manent mental disorders; about A per
cent were gassed 6 per cent had res
piratory affections other than tuber-
culosis, and 2 per cent were paralyzed.
About 1900 of these cases have been
treated in hospitals and about 1000
men are undergoing hospital treatment
at the present time.
1t should be borne in mind that
these cases represent less than 1 per
cent of the total number of men in
service during the war with Germany.
The total strength of the army,
navy and marine corps to November
II, 1918, was 4,791,172. All of these
are potentially patients of the bureau
of war risk insurance.
1t is estimated at the present time
that at least GAL 300 men were dis
charged from military service with
some disability. Estimates which
have been prepared by the chief med
ical adviser on 513,500 Of these men
show that about % per cent Of these
cases Of disability are due to diseases
Of the nervous system or mental a'en-
ation-about 10000 cases. Thirteen
per cent suffer from diseases of the
ci~rculatory system and almost Ii per
cent from diseases of the bones and
organs of locomotion, and at least 9
per cent, or about 10000, have tubercu-
los;s.
Humanity in the Raw.
To follow up a series of these cases
through the division and see the way
in which they are handled is to come
into intimate contact with humanity
in the raw. Within the brick-red
fiber folder with it's scarlet edge are
encompassed the records of the most
important happenings of many q life.
Here are certificates of birth, mr.
riage and death, records of military
service, reports Of physical examina-
lions, treatments received, operations
performed, and letters from parents,
wives, relatives and friends. In fact,
it would be possible to write the COM
plete biography of many a man from
the data collected in this one small
space.
Side by side, and handled in exact
ly the same way, are the cases Of col
onels, captains, corporals; white men.
colored men and Indians; men who
know no English-men who are illiter-
ate, and men who have received their
education at the finest institutions Of
learning in the world. The case Of a
"marinette" is beside that of a ma
jor general, while that Of a nurse Is
next in order to that of a private whom
she nursed back to life. They have,
however, one thing in common: they
have suffered a hurt in the service of
their country. Very seldom indeed do
they try to get more than their just
dues, and many times they state that
they do not wish compensation, all
that they require being an opportunity
to be cured of their diseases or healed
of their wounds, so hat they may pur-
sue again their peacetime a~vocation.
Approximately $500 major amputa-
lions have occurred as a result of the
war with Germany.
Up to September 10, 1919, there were
exactly 1000 claims for artificial
limbs. of these, 621 were artificial
legs and $40 were artificial arms.
