Base Ball Investigators Vev 7loC2b Plan As Poor Most Cities
WHITE SOX TO FIND
SCHALK IS CHANGED

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, February IA stern mas
ter will direct the White Sox through
the coming season. If base ball observ-
ers have correctly interpreted Manager
Ray SChalk's change of attitude.
Las season. those who watched the
White SOx work often expressed the
opinion that Schalk was too easy on
some OF the veterans. Many times
when plays went wrong. Scha!k took
them smingingly and forgave easily.
This season. matters appear different.
Those who have observed the manager
say he threatens to be ctearner than
John j. McGraW of the Giants. His
first rule OF the training season is that
all players must train twice daily in
stead Of the usual single session. Fines
and other penalties, unheard Of on the
club last year, are also TO be applied
this season.

II there were Two clubs in Detroit and
only one n ST. Louis. Tire investigator
declared that the removal of the Ma
tional League franchise from St Louis
70 Detroit would benefit both organiZa-
tons.
Detroit has gained in population and
has such tremendous base ball fol-
lowing-Iile population being so largely
OF the male sex-that a sound argu-
ment was developed showing how the
City would be one ot the banner cities
for both leagues if II were represented
l.. them. The point was made that De-
t-olt originally was member OF the
National League an that it would re-
turn 70 its Old traditions without much
oenlur. Il Tas also stated that Sunday
base ball IN Detroit had changed that
base ball investment field completely.

The men who made the Boston Ma
tionals famous were in their day the
most violent opponents ot Sunday base

Spor's promoters who are interested
IN oabbling III the national pastime
have lust com p!etcd an investigation
into the existing major league circuits
that has brought 10 light some pointed
observations on base ball conditions III
the L. S. A.
These promoters bryan with the idea
tha; they could buy a major league
franchise IN an Eastern city. They in
stjtuted a thorough examination Of the
territory and the assets OF the club they
were willing TO pUrchaSe-and decided
that the price asked was about two and
o2e-half times more than the fran
chiss WAS worth.
Then they searched further. The in
vcS'igator reported some interesting
findings. Among them are the follow
Ing:
That two clubs in one city is not a
good investment III CERTAIN cities now
having franchises III both major leagues
That Il one club is prosperous one
wear. the other is not likely 10 be. and
thai II one club is prosperous year after

That the TWO best cities for clubs
are New York and Chicago. fact that
Is pretty well known outside of base

That ST. Louis is not good city for

ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION

If everyone would study and learn
good method of resuscitation many
lives that are lost every year by
drowning, gas asphyxiation, etc.,
could be saved. One of the best
methods of artificial respiration is
what is known as the Shafer prone
pressure method. This method is
taught by the Red Cross and other
organizations and the U. S. Public
Health Service has issued a set of
rules for applying it. In case of
drowned persons, as soon as the pa
tient is taken from the water lay
him face down, straddle the body
and clasping the hands under his
belly, lift the middle of his body
from the ground several times to
force the water from his nose and
mouth.
Then lay the patient face down,
one arm extending directly over the
head, the other arm bent at the ell
bow and with the face turned to ore
side and resting on hand or forearm
so that the nose and mouth are free
for breathing. Kneel straddling the
patients thighs with your knees
about half way between his hips and
knees. Place the palms of your
hands on the small of his back with
fingers resting on the ribs, the little
fingers just touching the lowest rib,
with thumbs along side of your fing-
ers and the tips Of your fingers just
out of sight. While counting one,
two, with arms held straight, swing
slowly forward so that the weight of
your body is gradually but not vio-
lently brought to bear upon the pa
tent. This should take about two
seconds. While counting three, i'm
swing backward so as to
remove the pressure. While count
ng four, five rest. Repeat the whole
operation, swinging forward and
backward IL to Is times minute
me complete respiration in four or
i've seconds.-The Pathfinder.
