Cincinnati has a pitching quartet of
championship caliber in Rixey, Dono-
hue. Luque and Mays. With Mays
almost a total loss and with a pro.
nounced weakness at first base, Gin
cinnati ran good third last season,
and up to September was a pennant
threat. The pitching of RiXey, Dono-
hue and Luque was so effective that
less runs We're scored on the Reds
than any of the other Is jor league
clubs.
Mays arm apparently has come
back in great style. Shortly before
this article was written Carl pitched
six brilliant innings against his former
teammates, the Yankees. in which he
yielded only three hits, one a scratch
And the Yankees now are cutting the
bali.
Mays tells me he is % pounds lighter
than in 1928, his last season with the
Yankees. AT no time in his New York
career was he as light as he is today.
After Miller Higgins saw him pitch
against his club he remarked: Carl is
as good now as l ever saw him.
Rounds Out Strong Quartet.
Mays return to form win make
quite difference in the 1926 dope. In
1924, his first year with Cincinnati

did not pitch until September. He was
credited with three victories and
charged with five defeats. Luque
Rixey and Donohue were ranked first

year. With Mays in his 1924 form
that quartet is almost sufficient TO win
pennant.

Modern Alchemy.

The medieval alchemists were the
fathers of the modern chemists. The
great difference was that they were
nearly all obsessed by the idea that
lead or some other "ba Sc" metal could
be changed TO gold. Presently this
task was given up as impossible, and
once chemistry had turned from
something practical to something
theoretic practical results began to
flow. But it now appears that the
old alchemists were on the right track,
in a way. Mercury has actually been
changed to gold by modern chemists.
though only a very little, and at
greater cost than the value of gold
itself. Lead, however, proves to be
an unusually interesting element. for
chemists, who have always defined
an element as something that could
not be changed into any other ele
ment, have discovered that as the
activity of radium wears out 1t passes
into several other elements. finally
ending up as lead.

Families That Bleed.

Hemophilia Is the name physicians
apply to a mysterious state or tend
ency which runs in certain families
and renders the males liable TO
hemorrhages from trifiing wounds or
from no apparent cause. Sometimes
a female member Of the family may
have the bleeder state as dominant
trait, but as a rule they are not them
selves bleeders. though nevertheless,
they carry the trait in a recessive or
latent way and pass 1t on down to
their children. Yet not every male
child In a hemophilic family inherits
the bleeding tendency, and If a male
child of such family Is not bleeder
he may safely marry, but the female
children of hemophilic family
should not marry. This peculiar rul-
ing ordained by nature and not by
man seems unfair to the mothers OF
the race.
Besides this true familial or inherit
ed hemophilia there are occasional or
sporadic cases of hemophilia or tend
ency toward excessive bleeding from
trihing wounds, due to other causes
and not transmissible to offspring.
In some instances the exact cause
may not be ascertainable and the ply
sician can only apply a remedy to aid
the blood for the immediate emerg-
ency. For this purpose he may trans
fuse blood from a normal person or
inject specially prepared blood serum.
In some cases Of chronic Bright's
disease, prolonged septicemia or blood
poisoning from neglected septic con.
ditiOns in the gums or about the teeth,
and the tOXemia or flooding of the
blood stream with poisons in various
disease conditions. hemophilia develops
as a grave complication.
In the true familial or hereditary
hemophilia there is some deficiency
in the fibrin-forming function of the
blood, but the pathologists have not
yet learned whether this lies in the
absence of the clot-promoting ferment
secreted by the blood vessel wall or
the absence of clot-promoting sub.
stance which the leucocytes white

pathologists have learned, however.
