Seattle
Is
Good
Natured

Doctors, hospitals and other
emergency calls had to be an
Swered first. Yellow Cabs have
relieved thousands of serious sit
uations since Seattle became snow
bound, Sunday night.
Between twenty-five thousand
and thirty thousand calls for yell
low Cabs had to be refused.
These people in most part realized
our situation. The thousands who
asked for Yellow Cabs as a matter
OF convenience generously and
good naturally allowed priority to
the hundreds who needed Yellow
Cabs for carrying doctors, nurses,
patients, fuel, food, etc.
We employed heroic measures
to keep all our equipment of forty
five cabs serving all the time. Our
men worked eighteen to twenty
four hours at stretch. They took
only few hours rest in temporary
quarters established in nearby
hotels-then back on the Job again.
To keep our large fleet of Yellow
Cabs constantly moving, our sery-
ice crew worked unflinchingly.
-Four switc h board operators
plugged at the boards constantly.
Not only all our machines served
Seattle, but also outside machines
wherever obtainable were rushed
to calls.
Our men worked valiantly; our
equipment stood up remarkably
well under the extraordinary cir
cumstances. Those who asked for
Yellow Cabs as a matter of con.
venience and could not obtain
them will be glad to know that yell
low Cabs met the emergency sue
cessfully.
Extra chains, extra gasoline and
emergency service work turned the
apparent profit in this crisis to an
estimated loss of ST, OOO-but yell
low Cabs kept their pledge of serv-
ice to Seattle without a single acct
dent.
We might have turned this loss
to profit by deviation from our
regular low rates-but in NO crisis
have Yellow Cabs ever taken adj
vantage, and they never will. Our
rates OF SO cents for the first mile
and 80 cents for each succeeding
mile were maintained throughout.
The crisis is now over and we are
again able to give all patrons our
1909 Yellow Cab service.

CHARLESTON FANS TRY
TO KEEP LEAGUE BALL

CHARLESTON. s. c. May IL
Charleston base ball fans today were
preparing for a mass meeting tonight
in an effort to keep organized base
ball in the city. The meeting was
called as a result of the announce
ment last night by President Walsh
of the South Atlantic Association that
the Charleston franchise had been
turned back to the league.
The Charleston team last year won
the Sally League pennant handily.
This year. however. 1t has travelled a
rocky road. winning five out Of twen-
ty-eight games. The franchise was
turned over to w. B. Ryan and a
group Of local men during the win
ter. the former owners having de-
cided to quit base ball. Two weeks
ago the Ryan interests turned it over
to another group of local men. who
in turn have returned it to the
league.

OUTLOOK FOR SISLER
APPEARS BRIGHTER

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. May 17-Whether
George Sisler will play this season is
a question which will be decided only
in time, declared Bob Quinn business
manager of the st. Louis Americans
today in making public a statement
by Phil Ball, owner of the club, deny
ing reports that Ball was supposed to
have informed Ban johnson, president
of the American League. that the
Browns great first baseman was
through-at least for the present sea-
SON.
'Mr. Ball made no such statement,
and has asked me to broadcast an
emphatic denial" said Quinn. MIR
Ball wants it known that he never
has even intimated that Sisler was
through and has no reason to believe
that George will not play again."
There is nothing new to announce
in Sisters case, except that when last
the doctors examined Georges eyes
they were more hopeful than they had
been after a previous examination
When asked about his eye trouble.
Sisler stated that he hoped to return
to the lineup before long, but he
would give no definite time. He said
that his health is excellent aside from
the eye ailment. the exact nature of
which has not been revealed.
