WRECKED AVIATORS IN LUCK.

Wrecked fliers having better luck this fall than they have had in times past The German aviators Rody and Johanssen and the Spaniard Viega have been rescued after floating in their wrecked arpane for week in the Atlantic. The rejoicing is equal to that when it discovered that Moyle and Allen were safe.
 The meager accounts would indicate that the discovery of the European airmen timely. They had not been seen for six days when Norwegian motorship picked them up the American continent They had flown from Portugal. It would seem that they probably could not have lived much longer if the rescue had not occurred.

BRITAIN'S FINANCIAL DILEMMA.

The suspension of gold payments by Great Bri- tain Monday and the closing of practically all of the stock exchanges except those of the United States Canada and France that day is proof of the seriousness of the situation that caused the formation of the coalition Cabinet in London. But the reassurng statements of Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden and J. P. Morgan have had a quieting effect throughout the world.

Reports from Japan that Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.

SPECIALISTS hit
ON EXCESSIVE COST
Too Many Generals and Not
Enough PrivateS in Prac-
tiCe, Doctors Told.

~ the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 25-"Too
many generals and not enough privates
in the medical army" is one reason for
the present cost of medical care, the
American College Of Physicians was told
tonight.
DR.. George E. Follansbee Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, said there are too many
expensive specialists and not enough
general practitioners. He spoke before
the symposium on public health, medi-
cal practice and medical economics at
the annual clinical session Of the COL
lege.
Because of the cost of medical care
"the tide Of public opinion against the
profession Is rising and is already q dis
tinct menace" he declared. THE
number of self-styled specialists is
ridiculous. Tt should be unlawful for
q physician to pose as a specialist UNI
less he is adequately trained for special
work"
The public has come to believe the
family doctor Is not competent to
handle many ailments and is turning
more and more to specialists. Many
cases taken to specialists could be
treated equally well by general practi-
toner, and confidence in the family
doctor must be re-established, Or. Fol-
lansbee said.
NnaMgG delu NECESSARY
Much medical work will be taken
over by government, philanthropic or
business agencies unless cost of medical
care Is lowered by reducing the number
of specialists and increasing the general
practitioners. Necessity for EMPLOYING
specialists in childbirth cases has been
overemphaSized.
Dr.. Winford H. Smith, director Of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
hospital and public health facilities as
the best way to reduce cost of medical
care.
He said three remedies have been
suggested to lower the cost; co-opera-
tive guilds to provide medical and hos
pital service, health insurance, either
compulsory or voluntary, and control Of
medicine by the State.
Modern hospital charges are high be-
cause special diets, treatments, research
facilities and other services formerly
unheard Of now are considered essen
tial. A modern hospital needs at least
two employees for each patient. Hospi-
tails provide much more service for a
given fee than do hotels charging the
same price.
Alcohol Disease Disputed.
Excessive drinking of alcohol, DR.. Al
bert M. Smell told the college today, does
not commonly cause cirrhosis or hard
ening of the liver.
This is contrary to the prevailing
theory held both by doctors and the
general public. Cirrhosis occurs in only
about 5 per cent of cases Of alcoholism
DR.. Smell said. He is associated with
the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, MINI
Cases of cirrhosis that are caused by
alcoholism comprise about half the to-
tai, however. Other causes include dis
ease of the gall bladder, bile ducts, or
spleen, and infectious fevers.
The disease usually Is recognized too
late to save the patients life. Physi-
clans are seeking ways to recognize it in
earlier stages when 1t may be durable.
DR.. j. L. Bollman, also of the Mayo
Clinic, told how the liver makes its own
repairs when damaged by disease.

DAVID TO FACE
GOOD SCRAPPER
IN LOCAL RING

With a fine record as an amateur
behind him, and a number of good
battles on the right side of his led
ger since turning professional,
Claude Richards of San Diego will
step into the local ring Friday night
to see what he can do about taking
the measure of Young David, local
Filipino boxer.
Richards has not been seen in

vid he is going up against a fast,
clever and rugged boy, who packs q
punch as shown by 13 knockouts out
Of IA fights.
David is red hot on the trail of
Bobby Pacho and figures that each
victory he gets brings him that
much nearer to the match. For this
reason he viii be in there TO do
battle from the start of his match
with Richards.
The veteran colored boy, Battling

ing ON the seats in the old four
round days in the Brawley arena,

ponent. none other than Bobby Rat
cliff, who took an unpopular de-
cision over Andy Armstrong last
week
Ratcliff showed in his bout with
Armstrong that he is rough and
tough. He will be carrying plenty
of guns for Paul and the latter will
have to be III tip-top shape to pull
through.

ATHLETICS SET
HOT PACE AFTER
STARTING POORLY

NEW YORK, May 13. U.P) 1t
has been a slow and gradual rise
for Connie Macks men ever since
they looked SO helpless in dropping
three contests of their four-game
series with the Washington Sena-
tors to start off the 1891 campaign.
The reason for the Athletics poor
showing then was apparent-the
big five" wasn't clicking.
Lefty Grove and George Earn
shaw were slow to round into form,
Jimmy Foxx was injured Mickey
Cochrane had lost his pepper be-
hind the plate and was falling down
in his hitting and Al Simmons was
just another batter until two weeks
ago.
But the "big five" are in form
now, or at least -four of them are.
Ask Pat Caraway and his team
mates of the Chicago White Sox II
you don't believe it.
Grove, Foxy, Simmons and Coch-
rane combined yesterday to elevate
Philadelphia to the top of the
league by trimming Chicago, S to 2.
Grove allowed but four hits, SIM
mons hit his fifth home run of the
year, Foxx got three singles. driv-
ing in two runs and Cochrane was
his old self behind the plate.
Only one other American league
game was played, the Detroit Tigers
besting the Boston Red Sox, 2 to O.
1t was Bostons first defeat in inter-
sectional competition this year, the
Red Sox previously having won
three in row from Cleveland. Vic
Sorrell allowed nine scattered hits
while the Tigers received but six
off Russell and Lisenbee. They
combined three of these to score the
only runs of the game in the fourth
inning. Owen and Stone singled
and Hayworth's double brought
them home.
Rain and wet ground caused the
postponement of the Washington
and Cleveland and New York and
st. Louis contests. Three National
league contests we're called off =
st. Louis-Philadelphia, Brooklyn
Pittsburgh, and New York Chicago.
In the only games played in tho
senior circuit, the Boston Braves
and Cincinnati Reds broke even in
q double header, the Braves winning
the first to 2 and the Reds the
second, 3 to 2.

amounting actually to the second
of three dual meets the two teams
will have had before the season
ends-California and U. C. L. A.
are not expected to take more than
10 points-Hables and Williams will
meet again in the quarter
Pursuant to his ambition, Hables
ran a faster quarter last Saturday
night at Fresno than did Williams,
who also took the worst of it in
the renewal of the Williams-East-
man rivalry, losing several yards
to Stanford's specialized flyer. Will
Iams' apologistS said, however, that
the Trojan was suffering from ton
silitis, while Hables, for the first
time this season, was in top form.
The Williams-Eas matter
will not be settled Saturday, Coach
r. L. "Dink" Templeton Of STAN
ford announced. He plans to use
his middle-distance stars as he did
at Stanford and Fresno, Hables in
the quarter and relay and Eastman
in the half mile and relay.
Has Had Injuries
Hables has had a hard season, in
which twisted knee and incipient
Appendicitis laid him low, but
Templeton announced today he
should be ready Saturday.
Stanford will send a full team
down, Templeton said, though he is
not certain about personnel, as sew
eral are on the injured list, includ-
ing West, broad jumper, Lombardi
and Giberson, sprinters and Cap
tain "Podge" Smith, hurdler.
Templeton said today he would
be surprised if u. S. C. did not win,
though there was the slight posi-
bility of an upset, depending upon
the showing made by California
Should the Bears take their quota
of first places, it was expected they
would harm u. S. c. more than
Stanford.
Though Stanfords team will
make their best showing, Of course,
it was generally believed here that
Templeton is planning to make his
effort of the year at the IC-4A meet
in Philadelphia the last of the
month, when once again Stanford
and U. 5. c. are expected to fight
it out for first place.

which he won ON a decision.
Payne secured six OF the 10
rounds and floored Morgan for the
count of two in the seventh. The
Vallejo boy suffered an injury to
his right eye in the first round
which severely handicapped him.
BY the third round his injured
eye was practically closed and yet
the sixth and seventh rounds saw
Morgan exchanging blow for blow
with Payne. until staggering left
to Mcrgan's chin sent him down
in the seventh. Payne took advan-
tage of Morgan's dazed condition
and the fight from then on was less
thrilling although Morgan still
stuck gamely to the fight.
Morgan weighed 1885,. and Payne
1884,.

FRENCH AMATEUR
BOXERS LOSE TO
YANKEE HUSKIES
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO. May 13. W.P)-New
records for amateur boxing existed
today after the first international
tournament between the United
States and France last night in Sol
diers' Field.
The Golden Gloves winners from
Chicago and New York defeated the
amateur champions Of France, five
matches to three, before a crowd
of more than 10000. The gate re-
ceipts were about $4,000. Both of
these marks are far beyond the pre-
vious high figures for amateur box
ing. The profits will be divided be-
tween Chicago charities and the As
sociations of Disabled French War
Veterans. Cold weather held down
the attendance.
Making game ana stubborn
stand which had some of the they
shall not pass" spirit attached to
1t, the French lads acquitted them
selves nobly 1000 miles from home
None of them had been in this
country before and only one of them
could understand English.
All of the bouts were of three
rounds duration and were decided
by decisions. At least three of the
Frenchmen were on the verge of
knockouts several times, but refused
to quit under fire. Only two
Frenchman were real opponents for
their more experienced, better
coached and stronger rivals and yet
they managed to win three bouts
and finish every fight on their feet.
Several of them left the ring bloody,
but with unbowed heads.

cents scored the greatest victory for
the invaders. Stccky anu rugged,
Esnault battled his way to victory
over Scotty Sylvano, q Chicago high

The other French victories were
won, by Fernand Laudrin, an avia-
tor at LIE Bourget field, where Lind
bergh landed, and Jean Zigan, a
freckle-faced middleweight who
fixes bicycles when he's home in
Nancy, France.
The United States won the first
three matches by wide margins.
