ANTISEPTIC SURGERY.

One of the worlds greatest bene- factors was Lord Joseph Lister, the eminent English surgeon who was the first to apply the antiseptic sys- tenn of surgery, of which he was the discoverer and pioneer. Lord Lister died seven years ago today, Feb. II, 1912. The first great advance in modern surgery was made during the second quarter of the nineteenth century, when Goodwin, Mitchell, Jackson, Wood, Bashe and Dr. Nor ton discovered and applied anaesthe- sia, which did away with the pain and horrors of the operating room Since then vast Improvements have been made in anaesthesia. It remained for Lord Lister to introduce antiseptio surgery, or treatment to kill germs in surgical operations and accidental wounds, by which the lives of thou sands have been saved. In addition to this epochaI discovery, he made important observations on the early stages of inflammation, the coagula- ton of the blood. and other matters. Lord Lister was surgeon extraordin- ary to Queen Victoria and later to Kins Edward.

Walter Johnson has been Clark Grifith's mainstay for many years The famous pitcher began his career with the Washington team in 19of' and is now in his thirty-second year Johnson pitched with his usual skill last season and showed no signs or growing old. Griffith faces the test of his career when the time comes for Johnson to quit, which he will have to do some day. Grif did not have much luck as the leader or the Yankees and Cincinnati Reds, and he has remained at the head Of the Washington Americans largely be- cause Johnson's pitching has prevent ed too severe a slumping Of the team. This spring the Robins will make their first appearance in Jackson vile. Fla. since Harry Lumley took the team there for spring training nine years ago. It is the first time the team trained in that State since
 the spring of 1915, when Uncle Rop-
 bies got them into shape at Daytona'
 The following year the Brooklyn team trained at Hot Springs, Ark, ana they returned there last spring. The Rop- fms will leave for the training grounds

MGRAW TALKS LITTLE
 ABOUT HAL CHASE CASE

New York, Feb. 11-John J. Mo- Graw, vice president and manager of the New York Giants, returned from the Middle West yesterday with his work half done. He acquired a mild case of grip and decided that New York was the best place to nurse it.
 He would not commit himself on the question of Hal Chase, who was acquitted last week on the charges preferred against him by the Cinctn- natl Club, playing first base for the Giants, but he made this rather sig nificant remark:
 Tt is impossible to deal with the lease of Chase until he has with drawn his suit against the Reds for back salary"
 This indicates that Chase will sign with the Giants after his case has been settled out of court.
 In all probability McGraw has au- thority from August Hermann, pres ident of the Cincinanti Club, to sug- gest some form of settlement with
 
 to pay the back salary, noW that the charges have fallen fiat, but is anx- ious to avoid a suit for damages or any airing of the case in the civil courts.
 Chase, on the other hand, is almost sure to insist that if the case is set tied out of court the money due him said to be about s1,70O, must be aug mented by counsel fees and the ex- penses he incurred in defending him. self against the charges.
 In view of this, a settlement may be postponed for some time, bu Chase, like Jake Daubert, is almos sure to withdraw his suit before the training season opens and then is al most sure to sign a contract with the Giants
 McGraw did not sec F'erdie Schupl and Fred Toney while on his triI simply because he returned to New York before completing the rounds rather than take chances with heavy cold. As matter of fact, the only players he saw were Slim Sallet and Arthur Fletcher.
 tile reported that Sallee seems de termined on giving up baseball ant devoting his full time to raising to bacco, but admitted that there wa! still a chance for the big pitcher tt return.
 He said that Fletcher was in fin, condition and keen to begin work a the training camp. His signed con tract reached the New York club of I fee last week.

ECHOES FROM SHORTHAND

Martin Duffy didn't attain titular honors in his ring career, but he fought many hard battles. Under the instruction of Gilmore, he develop ed into one of the cleverest perform CTS in the ring. He started as a pro- fessional in 1900, and whipped Adam Ryan, Otto Sieloff, and other good lightweights. In 1901 he was de- feated by Sieloff at Oshkosh, but in return engagement in the same city turned the tables. His victims that year also included Martin Judge, Ar tie Simms, Perry Queenan, and sev- eral others. In 1908 Sieloff got the best of a six round match in Chi cago, and Martin also lost the deci- sion in a ten round affair with Tom Couhig in Toronto.
 It was in 1903 that Duf1y came into the limelight as a contender for the welterweight honors. After sev- eral minor battles, he was matched to fight Rube Ferns, the former well terweight champions, in Louisville. Martin put Rube to sleep in the thir- teenth round. He then fought Mat ly AdIlH6NS, dllOllleI 0A-lCdQeT Ol tIl6 welter division, on Port Huron, and triumphed in ten rounds. He round ed out the years campaign by going six rounds to a draw with Tony Ca poni In Minneapolis.
 The season of 1904 was one of dis asters for Duffy. He started well by whipping the veteran Rube Ferns in twenty-round engagement in Hot Springs, Ark. He then tackled Jack (Twin) Sullivan in Chicago, and was outpointed in six rounds. He was then matched with Honey Melody, and for the first time in his career took the count. After several other bouts in the middle west. Duffy was given a return engagement with Mel lody in Spokane. He was knocked out in the first round. Duffy then quit the ring, and afterward became cop.

SWEDEN IN FIELD
 FOR OLYMPICS

New York, Feb. 11-"America stands ready to send a representative athletic team to the next Olympic games, regardless of the time or place which may be designated"
 This was the answer of prominent Amateur Athletic Union officials to the query of the Swedish Athletic As sociation made through United States Minister Morris at Stockholm recent ly.
 The track and field authorities of this country have been actively en- gagged since the signing of the ar mistice in preparing for a worldwide revival in competitive athletics and the implied desire of the Swedish As sociation to re-estabhsh the Olympic games did not occasion surprise in A. A. U. circles.
 Sweden acted as host to athletes from all parts of the world in the meet of 1912 and the imposing sta dium built for the contests still stands.
 Sweden, however, Is not the only nation which desired to hold the games, ana II IS prOOdDle that 8 con ference of the International Olympic Games Committee will be necessary in the near future, to pass upon this phase of the situation, especially il the meet is to be staged in 1920 as appears probable.
 Whatever the date the Olympic Games will be preceded by several in ternational track meets of more ol less formal character, either in thi. country or Europe.
 The Swedish A. A. has already ca bled the A. A. IT., suggesting an in- ternational meet in this country next Autumn and offering to send a team of fifteen athletes for competition against a picked American combfna- ton.

DIAMOND CREST

The Giants sold Richard Fleming way, a young third baseman, to the Indianapolis club of the American as sociat1on yesterday. Hemingway fin ished out the season last year with the Phillies under an agreement by which he should be returned to New York for the original purchase price.
 Ping Bodie, who is slowly losing the name of fence buster" partly be- cause there are no fences to, bust at the Polo Grounds, and &iuSdy Ruel, the catcher, are safe in the shelterinS arms of the Yankees. Their signed contracts were duly received and filed away in the safe by Harry Sparrow yesterday
 Bodie is sure of q place in the out field, while Ruel can be counted on to relieve Truck Hannah behind the plate whenever necessary. Ruel is heady, dependable catcher who can hold his own with the best.
 --appy Felsch, one of the best out fielders in baseball, who jumped the White Sox last year. and played inde- | pendently in Milwaukee because of a dispute with Clarence Rowland, then manager of the Chicago club, has made his peace with Charles A. Com iskey and signed a contract for next season. LefboId, anot':er outfielder, also has signed with the White Sox land Kid Gleason is beginning to feel like a real manager.
 John A. Heydler, president of the National league, was not at his office yesterday. He made a flying visit to Washington, but whether on pleasure or business bent was not known by his secretary. He will be back tomor- row.
 Word comes from Boston that Joe Riggert, an outfielder drafted from the St. Paul club of the American as- sociation last fall, has signed a con tract with the Braves. If he hits as well under the big tent as he did in the minors he may crowd out one of the regulars.
