For two days, F'rick received all his

CHICAGO, March 11.--Game to the
last fiutter of a stalwart heart, Albert
Prick yielded to death last night four
and a half days to the hour after the
22-year-old youth began a grim battle
with the mystery that numbed his
lungs and placed his life in the hands
of threescore valiant friends.
He died as two of them ceased the
steady compressing and relaxing,
pressing and releasing that for 108
hours and IL minutes had pumped the
breath of life in and out of the body
chilled into helplessness by creeping
paralysis.
Attending doctors, amazed at his
ability to live more than half a week,
although powerless to breathe, knew
the end was coming, but the last
phrase through Tricks parched lips
was hating assurance that I'm all
right"
Died 2 Hours Later.
Two hours later, the two men then
forcing the paralyzed diaphragm into

Dozens Respond to Call.
Working feverishly, they dispatched
a call for volunteers to aid them, and
within few hours dozens of employees
of the Public Service Co. of Northern
Illinois, for which Frick had been a
salesman, appeared at the hospital
and offered their services.
Organized into shifts of two men

All he did during the afternoons
play was make three timely hits, steal
a couple of bases, one of them a theft
of home, and made several brilliant
plays afield, ending the contest with
an unassisted double play from right
field.
1t was practically impossible for the
Red Sox to get him out, he seemed al
ways to be on the bases, constant
threat.
The following day, in his first trip to
the plate, he hit into double play on
an attempted hit and run. Despite
desperate slide into first base, Cobb
was doubled on close decision.
In the old days, pulling double play
with Cobb at the finishing end was de-
cidedly rare. Now that the legs have
slowed up, it isn't such trick to turn,
yet the substitutes on the Boston bench
made plenty of "hip" "hip" Murray

been limited to ten rounds, McTigue
might have gained the decision over
his heavier rival, but Sharkey fin

Perhaps no player in the history of
the game has been the subject of more
comment from the fans, complimentary
and otherwise.
Always colorful, Cobb either has the
fans cheering or jeering him. The
cheers come as the result of some SEN
sational play, the jeers when the OPP
posing pitcher strikes him out or makes
him pop up.
Cobb has always given and taken,
and seldom has he failed to have at
his tongues end the retort courteous
for the fan who seeks to best him in a
battle of repartee. That also goes for
the opposing PLAYERS.
