Hurdy Gurdy Goes Way
 Of Other Old Timers

New Orleans, May 14 P}-The hurdy gurdy is following the chim- ney sweep into limbo With the high hats of the chimney sweeps seldom seen on the streets of New Orleans, the notes of the street organs are becoming fainter and fainter.
 When Adelina Patti as child sang to the accompaniment of the hurdy gurdy in the Vieux Carre, they were here, there and every where. Now they are few and far between in the French section as well as uptown New Orleans.
 Hundreds of street organs are stored here where few years ago there was waiting line. The hurdy gurdy scale of rent is from q minimum of s1 up and they can be kept from 10 a. m. until 10 D. m. In the heyday of the street orgau's popularity a comfortable living could be realized for the musician and his monkey, who collected the coins. Now the monkey is rarely seen for the few hurdy gurdies left are pushed about the streets by negroes, who have no time for monkeys

CANCER CAUSE IS
 STILL A MYSTERY
Reported Discovery Fails to
 Satisfy Scientists

Dallas, Tex, May 14 (P - Dr. Joseph c. Bloodgood today told sur geons assembled for the annual meeting of the American Medical association that public education ana enlightenment by physicians nave begun to show results in the control Of cancer Of the mouth.
 Formerly ffty-fve per cent ot persons with cancer of the mouth ana Jaws came 10 the surgeon too Eate for successful operation. Now only five per cent come at this late period Formerly only three per cen Of persons with infammations known as precancerous consulted q surgeon. whereas now sixty per cent come early for consultation, with the probability that seventy per cent of these persons will be cured"
 The development of electrical methods of cutting tissues such as the cautery knife, according to Dr, BIoodgood, now permits operations without removal of the jaw, and thus with a greater promise of cure.
 Dr. William J. Mayo discussed the various diseases of the blood asso- clated with disturbances of the liver the spleen and the bone marrow. The blood, he said, Is a substance made up of fluid materials derived from the liver and of red blood cells coming largely from the bone mar TOW. The white blood cells come rom spleen, the lymphatic tissues. and other tissues of the body. Since all of these contribute to building the blood, disturbances of any one of them may involve serious changes in the blood and the development of special diseases.
 In the section of diseases of the stomach, Drs. Julius Friedenwald and Theodore H. Morrison of Balti- more, stated that rupture of the sn- tertor wall of the abdomen is not infrequent, but Is frequently over looked by Investigating physicians. The spot is usually small, but the symptoms may be severe out of pro- portion to the size Of the rupture.
 The physicians pointed out that the symptoms often resemble those seen in ulcers Of the stomach and intestines, and that it may be diff cult to differentiate them from the symptoms of gallstones, cancer of l the stomach and appendicitis. The condition is easily remedied by a slight operation, and it's early recog- l milton is therefore especially inn 1 portant.

Bucky Gets Busy

THAT Bucky Harris appreciates

bv his gathering 10 pitchers or
service at Tampa and by his sign
ing Jack Onslow to, handle the
many youngsters.
During the training season
johnson, Coveleskie and Marberry
are not likely to see much action.
Heavy emphasis will be laid upon
the more promising youngsters,
with Manager Harris and Coach
Onslow watching their every move.
The success or failure of the pitch
ers in the spring will just about
spell the success or failure of the
team itself. E.s..
Young pitchers are always more
or less puzzling. Crowder, for
instance, should make good, but
don't bet on it. Many a young
ster has flashed on his first big
league trial only to flivver on his
second. Nevertheless, Crowder
shapes UP like a capable pitcher
who will win his fair share of
victories.
Garland Braxton was 3 whiz and
a WOW as a relief hurler with the
Yankees, but he has yet to show
his ability to pitch regularly in
turn. He should benefit by the
expert advice given him by Coach
OnsloW.

FOOTBALL PROFITABLE 49,.
SPORT AT WILLIAMS

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Dec.
t3.-The football season at Williams
College might not have been big
success in games won but it was
one of the best from a financial
point in years. A balance of $6,7:1
has been turned back into the
treasury as a net profit for the
season. .. Z
Williams was aided materially in
financial way this past fall by
large guarantees received from Cor.
nell and Pennsylvania. The total
gate receipts at home contests
amounted to only $4,263.5O, but
total guarantees came to $20,2OI,
The largest expenditure was $5,805

doubt
"But what a wretched start
Bucky Harris made! His pitchers
failed him utterly. He had count
ed on Johnson, Covey, Bush, and
Ferguson to be a Big Four.
They hardly made Big One :
The cold, damp weather certainly
had a terrible effect upon john
son and Covey, but Bush and
Ferguson could not complain on
that score. They were simply
not there.
"Of course Clark Griffith hur-
ried to brace up the weak staff,
and did succeed, too, but the team
never overcame that wretched
start. During the last three
months, though, Washington was
playing the best ball of all the
clubs in the league.
eff Bucky Harris can get con-
sistent pitching next spring he
should have his team well up in
