INQUIRY SHOWS oLDTIMER
 DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES


 opinion of Dr. F. de la Vergne, who arrived in Nenana last night direct from the scene of the old timers death where he conducted an investigation of the body. Death is thought to have resulted from heart trouble.
 At the time the death of Book was reported to the authorities at Fairbanks recently, it was suggested that he had been murdered for pur- poses of robbery and United States Attorney Guy B. Erwin started on the long journey to Lake Minchum- ina, near which the body of Book had been found by two natives, to ascertain the facts. He was accom- panied on the trip by his assistant E. B. Collins, Dr. de Ia Vergne and Game Warden J. NJ. Burrows. by whom the report of the oldtimer's death had been brought to Nenana. The trip from Fairbanks and return was made in the Moody launch.
 The body of Book was found wrap ped in canvas and covered over with moss, and was in a state of exsel- lent preservation notwithstanding the fact that death apparently had oc- cured during the month of March, approximately two months previous to the arrival of the Investigating party. The weather had been cold and the body was well protected.
 Ii was apparent that Book had been i'll for some little time before he died. His body was emaciated and evidence of organic disorders was such as to convince the invest igators of the main cause of death. There was no evidence of violence whatever. When found by the two natives the body was on the shore of Mud river, about eight miles from Lake Minchumina, and the fact that snowshoes were still attached to the oldtimer's feet indicated that death had come suddenly.
 Game Warden Burrows, who makes his headquarters in the Kan tishna district, was left at the lake to investigate conditions at Books cabin, some distance from the point where the body was found, while the rest of the party returned to Fairbanks. They reached Nenana late last night and resumed the thip to Fairbanks after a brief stop here for rest.
 On the trip to Kantishna the party stopped at the mouth of the Tolovana to investigate conditions among the Indians there. They found four dead, one dying and a number quite i'll of the flu. That more had not succumbed to the ep- idemic was considered remarkable in view of the fact that the village was situated in swamp, with sanitary conditions in a deplorable state and food and clothing mad eqaate for the emergency. The camp was moved to dry ground, disease and filth laden bed cloth ing was destroyed, and medicine and nourishing food supplied to the sufferers. The fifth victim died while the relief party was al Tolo- mana and all five were buried by the visitors. The party learned that five deaths also had occurred among the Indians at Minto and a number of cases of serious illness were found mong the Indians along the Kantishna river On the return trip it was discovered that two newly born Indian babies at Tolovana were being fed on broth made from putrid meat, no milk being obtaina- able in the camp. This situation was relieved by providing the h. dians with a quantity of canned milk.

In early days of base ball men
caught balls raw-that is. with
out gloves. Split fingers, torn
palms, swollen joints, shattered
bones were the fashion. 1t was
considered effeminate to object.
What did it matter if there was a
broken nose, if teeth were
knocked out? 1t was the game
and the games glory.
Then some one objected. In
1877 one Thaysr was captain Of
the Harvard nine. He asked
Tying to go behind the bat. Be-
ing good-looking chap. Tying
objected. His face was his for
tune, so he said, and he wanted
it protected. Thayer looked
dark. But Tyngs eye hit upon
fencer's mask. He tried it on,
and caught a few pitched balls
with it. 1t was not quite the
cage ne wanted. So he took the
mask to a tinsrhith and had eye
holes cut out, and the tinsmith.
who played ball also. made some
suggestions as to changes. For,
when the mask with the eyeholes
had been tried on Tying, Thayer
sent a hot foul right into Tyng's
face and it lodged so firmly in
one of the holcs-without harm
ing the catcher-that it had to be
pounded out with a bat.

Oh, how the Yale boys howled
with derision when they saw the
Harvard catcher in his bird cage.
Even the Harvard Lampoon of
the time could not resist poking
fun at this kind of base ball

come to stay.
If the face could be protected,
why not the poor spit hands?-
all the more split because the
pitcher was allowed to throw
rather than "toss" the ball. No
matter whether the ball was
eased off in speed, fingers con-
tinued to be broken. During
game in 1888 one Arthur Irwin,
who in his day was famous
coach, broke the third and fourth
fingers of his left ha1d. He was
playing shortstop for Providence
at the time. While this accident
threw him out of the game, he
did not allow it TO take him out
of the next one. for he went to
a glovemaker, selected a g'ove
TOO large for him, had the third
and fourth fingers sewed together,
so as to allow his bandage to be
firmly held, and faced the crowd
thus gloved. They didn't jeer
at him. for they knew that he
had been hurt. And during the
game Irwin began to realize that
