RELIEF PLAYERS
TAKE TWO GAMES
FROM ARMY TEN
SCORE IN OPENING GAME OF
DIAMONDBALL WAS Is TO
9; TALLY IN CLOSING CON-
TEST READ 4 TO 6

Twice yesterday the wrecking
crew from the Tug Relief defeat
ed the Army boys in diamondball
games played on the barracks
field.
The first game was won by a
score of Is to 9. This contest went
10 innings with the score 8 to 8
at the end of the ninth. In the
tenth the wreckers put over six
runs to cinch the game.
Winning this gave the Relief
players four games out of the
seven game series that was start
ed some time ago. Frank Shep-
herd, second sacker for the Relief,
drove the pill over left field into
the street. This is said to be
the longest drive made on the
field. In the second game, start
ed for another series, the wreck
ers won by a score of A to 6. There
were no thrilling hits or plays.
Just steady teamwork on both
sides.
Batteries were: First game

Full Loss Improved

"The fact, If it existed, that
the injuries barred the claimant
from the employment or the
particular occupation or VOca-
ton he was engaged in when he
received them does not, i'm and
of itself, tend to prove that the
hand or the use Of it was lost.
1t is not within the letter, or
spirit Of law, or the legislative
intention that an injury to q
limb or member Of an emplOye
incapacitating him for particu-
lar employment should estab-
iSh that he was incapacitated
for employment permitting or
involving the use OF the limb
or member as injured. 1t is a
matter of common observation
and knowledge that q hand,
arm, foot, or leg incompetent,
through injury, for certain en-.
pigments is competent, and
useful for other emplOyments."
"The expressions, loss and
loss Of the use,' as used in the
law, should be given their un-
restricted and ordinary mean
ing. In the case ut bar the
hand or the use Of it, was mot
lost, provided it could not full
fill, in q degree fair and worth
considering in any employment
for which the claimant was
physically and mentally fitted
or adaptive, its normal and nat
ural functions. In case the
hand was destroyed by amputa-
ton, directly or indirectly
caused by the injuries, by such
an accident that it could not
thus fulfill its natural functions,
it was, within the purview Of
the law lost (Sweck v. Travellers
Ins. Co. SO Hun. 81: affd., on
opinion below 156 N. Y. 669).
"While the loss Of D hand
necessarily involves the loss Of
the use Of 1t, the loss Of the
use Of q hand does not involve
the actual loss Of the hand rs
q physical member diStinc-
ton the law recognizes and OBJ
serves. The question here was
whether the first or second rate
Of compensation should be
awarded. The UnCOntradiCted
evidence established that the
hand was mot lost and that the
first rate should be awarded.
The order appealed from should
be reversed and the original
award Of 1OS15 weeks reinstated
and affirmed, with costs to the
appellants against the commits
SiOn."

Finger Alone Hurt

The reports and testimony Of
the doctors to the commissioner
were to the effect that the claim
ant suffered a loss to the right
index finger. Thus we have the
testimony Of capable, recognized
physicians unequivocally stating
that the injury sustained pro-
duced only a partial loss of the
right index finger and not a
word is said about any loss of
the use Of the hand.
The commissioner then an
nounced (R. 22) that the hear
ing was concluded. Later the
commissioner, upon his own mo-
ton, referred the claimant to
DR.. John Allan Talbot under the
authority of the statute. The
commissioners letter giving his
authority to make the examina-
ton was introduced into the rec
ord. At the end Of the commits
sioner's letter Of authority to the
physician to make the examina-
ton, appeared this comment:
'What is the rating for
permanent partial disability in
relation to the hand?''
Whereupon the said Talbot
filed with the commissioner his
report and later testified in rela-
ton thereto. The strange part Of
all this Is noteworthy. The claim
ant claimed injury for q Broken
forefinger on right hand" The
report Of Doctor Talbot, intro
duced in evidence CIT. second
hearing, 8, ~ indicates that the
physician made Q complete def
mite examination of the left hand
and his testimony indicates fur
Their that he made an eXamina-
ton Of the left hand. Counsel. in
their points and authorities, indi-
Gated that this was Topographic
cal error and for that reason
harmless. II it is a typographical
error, the fact is stranger still
when the witness Talbot testified
that instead Of the first finger
being injured it was the second
finger.
In line with the suggestion Of
the commissioner that the wit
ness Talbot should report a rating
for permanent disability in rela-
ton to the hand. the physician
obligingly reported "for this rea-
son I feel that he has about Is
per cent permanent partial dis
ability for the hand" Is this
sufficient" evidence, such as will
support the findings Of the COM
missioner?

injury he developed q latent in
