CRITICALLY INJURED

SAN DIEGO, Calf, February 16.-
Norman D. Boeckel the brilliant third
baseman of the Boston Nationals, who
was seriously injured early yesterday
in an automobile accident north of
here. is battling for his life at the
La Jolla Hospital.
Boeckel was conseiouS for some
time last night and spoke a few
words. it was reported. and hope was
held out for his recovery. DR.. Homer
c. Oatman, who is attending the in
jured base ball player. said that
BoeckeTS condition Was very serious,
but added that if Boeckel continued
in his present condition for perhaps
thirty-siX hours after midnight last
night his chances of recovery would
be good.
Two other occupants of the ma
chine. Bob Meusel, star outfielder of
the New York Americans, and Bob
Albright. theatrical man Of Los An
geles. who was driving, escaped vir-
tually unhurt.
Should Boeckel recover it is feared
that the injuries he suffered may
end his base ball career. His pelvic
bone was fractured and his bladder
punctured when he was pinned under
the machine. A heavy truck Is said
to have swerved against the automo-
bile In which Boeckel and his COM
EanlonS were riding, causing it to ca
