Washington fandom in Jesse Hill, pro-
cured from the Yankees during a
Winter trade. Hill also will lead of.
Batting second in today's lineup
will be Ossie Bluege, long a local
favorite. Bluege merely is a regular
for day, however, having been re-
placed at third base by 19-year-old
Buddy Lewis, youngest regular in the
major leagues. In a last-minute de-
cision, calculated to remove the strain
of opening day from the boys shoul-
ders, Manager Harris named Bluege
to play today. Tomorrow, and for
an indefinite period, Lewis will do the
third-basing for the Nationals.
Batting in third place will be Capt.
Buddy Myer. 1885 American League
batting champion. In the cleanup
position will be Alvin Jake) Powell,
former Washington sandlot star
who made good.
Travis Promises Treat.
Another treat is in store for Capital
fans, to judge by preseason per-
formances, in Cecil Travis. a 22-year-
old veteran, who will bat fifth in the
lineup and play shortstop. Travis, a
converted third baseman, has been the
sensation of the Nationals Spring
training program this year.
Carl Reynolds, who served stretch
with the Washingtons in 1882, will
hold down right field today and bat
sixth. Reynolds replaces Johnny Stone
because it is believed his right handed
stance at the plate will be more ef-
fective against the southpawing Co.
mez. Batting seventh will be Joe
Kuhel, fancy-fielding first baseman
Cliff Bolton. the catcher, will bat
eighth, with Newsom hitting in the
ninth hole.
The lone newcomer to the Yanks'
lineup will be Roy Johnson, left
fielder, who was procured in trade
from the Nationals last Winter. John
son will team up with Ben Chapman
and George Selkirk in the New York
outfield.
The Gotham infield will be the
same that carried on in 1885. On first
base will be the veteran Lou Gehrig.
Tony Lazzeri will play second, frankie
CroSetti short and Red Rolfe will hold
down third. Behind the bat will be
Bill Dickey.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Two kidnap-

Quoted under a policeman's fire, sent
the Illinois primaries of to tur-
bulent start in Chicago today.
The violence came as a bumper
Chicago registration began to pour
into polling places. The first abduc-
ton victim reported to police was
Ludwig Ptyaszynski, 80, Demo-
cratic precinct captain.
The other victim was Paul Witkow-
sky, co. who, the police were told, was
identified as a retired business man
and personal friend Of Gov. Horner.
Two election judges were removed
after the police reported they found II
marked ballots on the person Of Philip
Zimmerman, 38.
The arrest of one election disturber
by State policeman aroused Alex
ander j. Mckay, chairman of the
Board of Election Commissioners, who
said, II haven't asked for State police
and don't need them"
Policeman Morris Schwartz said he
collared his prisoner after seeing him
strike precinct captain.
First calls to the rowing squads of
police assigned to keep the election
quiet were in response to claims of
watchers for both sides of the Demo-
cratic primary battle that election
officials had refused to admit them to
polling places.
First Man-to- Man Test.
Bitterness engendered by one Of the
most hectic campaigns Of the century
prompted elaborate precautions at the
polls, as national leaders watched the
voting in the Republican presidential
preference duel between Senator VIII
liam E. Borah of Idaho and Col Frank
Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily
News.
1t was the first man-to-man test
of two ranking contenders for the

agreed the results would have an i'm
portant bearing on the party's pre-
convention battle.

mitted in their original estimates last
Fall, and which had been disallowec
by the Budget Bureau at that time.
Senator Thomas said the Budget
officials explained they recommended
the Federal payment of $5,700,000 as
the figure Congress had fixed.
When the Commissioners last Fall
asked the Budget Bureau to base the
1897 estimates on lump sum OF
$8,317 500, however, they reminded the
bureau that when the lump sum was
reduced to $5,700,000 for the first time
in 1888, it was made by Congress ION
the recommendation of the Bureau OF
the Budget. The right to recommend
an increase in the Federal payment
would therefore appear to rest with
that bureau"
Background of Slash.
The events of 1888 leading up to
the reduction in the Federal payment
were briefly these: After the District
bill for the fiscal year 1884 had failed
to pass in the closing hour of the old
Congress, new estimates were pre-
pared by the Budget Bureau for SUBJ
mission to a special session of the
new Congress. The Budget Bureau
decided to cut the total of the Dis
trict bill by approximately 26 per
cent, and then applied that same per-
centage Of reduction to the Federal
payment.
This year the Commissioners found
that the city's needs for 1897 would
require total of about s46 6,0OO, 900
q substantial increase over the cur
rent year. BY recommending an ac-
companying increase in the Federal
share they, in effect, were asking for
application of the same rule now by
which the Budget Bureau reduced the
lump sum three years ago.
Although the Budget Bureau re-
duced the estimate for 1897 to SAL
665.o00, this was an increase over the
current appropriation act. The House
raised the total to $42,573,283 by in
serting several construction projects
not recommended by the Budget Bu-
reau, at the same time cutting down
some of the budget items by s697, ,00O
In connection with the plea for
more personnel at Challenger Hospital,
especially for nurses, Senator Thomas
said the budget authorities told the
subcommittee yesterday the hospital
has not filled all the positions author
lied in the past. According to Sem
ator Thomas, the budget officials con-
tended there are ats positions, and
only z01 filled.

THURSTON'S BODY
T0BE TAKEN HOME
Noted Magician Dies After
Pneumonia Attack
in Miami.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, April IA
Howard Thurston, the man who pro-
duced living things from nowhere and
made them disappear again in thin
air. passed through the curtain Of
death here yesterday.
The 66-year-old magician, who
fooled kings and common folk and
then became their lifelong friend, died
of pneumonia at 1:39 pm. eastern
standard time) following cerebral
hemorrhage.
The second Mrs. Thurston, who be-
came his wife years after he changed
box of candy into white rabbit in
her hands on Chicago theater stage,
was with him when he died. His
daughter Jane, who worked as his
chief assistant through years of magic
on platforms throughout the world,
also survives. The first Mrs. Thurston
died in 1884.
Forced to Retire.
The famous trickster was forced into
retirement last year, when he collapsed
during performance at Charleston,
w. Va, and was unable to rejoin his
company.
He was born in Columbus, Ohio, and
was a magician at heart from his boy
hood, although he followed parental
wishes and prepared himself for the
ministry.
Hermann. the great magician, once
took a brass collar button from the
forehead of young Thurston. He gave
the button to the boy and Thurston
cherished it more than the gift Of q
watch from Emperor Franz Josef of
Austria Hungary.
Thurston studied for the ministry
at Mount Hermon Academy in Mas
sachuSetts and was on his way to the
University of Pennsylvania to con-
tinue this course when he accidentally
saw Hermann buying a railroad
ticket to Syracuse, NJ Y. Thurston
also bought ticket for Syracuse and
thus foresook the ministry for the
magician's stage.
Compact With Houdini.
His knowledge of theology and his
interest in magic caused him to enter
into many discussions of the after life.
He was reported to have formed an
agreement with the late Harry Houdini.
another great magician; the late
Arthur Conan Doyle, British spiritu-
alist and author of the Sherlock
Holmes stories, and the late Charles
Carter, who died recently in Bombay,
India. to attempt a reunion after
death.

the pajamas aside while he was undressing.
He could see nothing The next problem was
to get Wash out of there, so he could go in and
search.
He left the window, walked around, entered
the clubhouse the front way. The lobby was
deserted. and except for the light over the
desk, dark. Mr.. Gregory, the night porter,
blinked at him in surprise. ''Volney? What are
you doing here this hour of night?"
'Iwant to see Mr.. Lewis Tell him - some
body wants to see him. They're waiting out
there - by the No. green" The small
woods by the No. green was where Wash
frequently kept some of his evening ap-
pointments.
'Oh."
Mr.. Gregory picked up a cord. plugged into
the phone board. Volney ran out, and around
to the window again. Wash was at the tele-
phone. In moment he hung up and began
scrambling into his clothes. Then he went out
Volney waited until he appeared outside, and
headed for the golf course. Then he lifted the
screen and climbed into the room.
The bureau yielded nothing but shirts,
underwear. socks, neckties. handkerchiefs.
The closet was stuffed with tennis dunnage;
sweaters. trousers. shoes. rackets, presses, a
net, shoes. and still more shoes. Volney knew
all about it; it didn't take him long to paw
through it. Still no pajamas.
He came out of the closet, looked about the
room, then remembered Wash's trunk. always
neatly slowed under the bed. He dragged it

The precise concerns of these various fe-
males, the reason for their troubled voices, the
nature of Wash's attitude toward them, Vol
ney didn't understand; but they seemed to
stand for something bad. dangerous and ex-
citing, and therefore wholly delightful. Now,
with jolt, he realized that squarely in the
center of this mystery stood his mother.
And then came a freezing recollection: that
queer look on Washs face as he had stood
there, beside the bed. What was it his mother
had said about "a suit of pajamas," that
had to be exhibited. to win such bet? Voney
knew now why Wash had looked that way.
Maybe he had taken his mothers pajamas,
that always were folded back of her pillow,
showed them under his coat, and presently
would be exhibiting them to win the bet. Then
Volney remembered that his mother wore red
silk pajamas, and that her suits were mono
grammed.
He snapped on the light, looked at the
clock. 1t was nearly two o'clock. He snapped
off the light again, got up, dressed His shoes
in his hand, he crept downstairs and out into
the kitchen. Softly he let himself out the
kitchen door. sat down on the back porch to
put on his shoes. Then he trotted across the
lawn and up the street toward the club. He
had to get those pajamas back, and get them
back before Wash could make any use of
them.
The clubhouse was sprawling, one-story
affair, and Wash's room was on the far side Of
the east wing. Volney made his way back
there. fitting from one bush to the other so as
not to be seen. The light was on. and he
peeped in the window. Wash was seated on
the bed. peeling off his shirt. Volney looked to
see if he could spy splash of red somewhere

sense than to fall for it, and bring him over
here.
Then he found out he couldn't collect his
bet He couldn't even get suit of pajamas,
or whatever they usually show to win such
bet. And that was when he began all this
fiirty business in front of YOU, because the
only chance left to him was to make you beat
him up, or try to. Then, of course, he could
collect, and brag. and smirk. because what
other reason would you have for beating him
up? That would be all the evidence anybody
would need. Do you hear what I'm telling
you?"
There was no answer.

Volney crept back to his room and bed. He
felt sick and frightened. The main tenor of
what had been said made little impression on

climax when Wash decided he was warm, and
stripped down to the waist, so all his great
muscles rippled, vanished, and leaped out
again under the light. Volney didn't notice
that Wash, thus revealed, managed to take
position at the window, whence he was just
visible from the kitchen, where Mrs. Knight
was holding the household conference with
Martha.
After Wash left, Volney tackled his lessons,
counted his marbles, practiced strokes. and
looked at pictures in the tennis guide. Shortly
before ten, he heard Wash 60 out, and some
time later, heard his father come in. Voices
floated up to him, and they didn't have nice

They weren't talking about him at all. They
were talking about Wash. His fathers voice

tense, and bitter.

and peeped. She was just going out the door,
and her slender figure was silhouetted against
the hall light. As she slipped out, breath of
her delicate perfume blew against his face.
Volney lay staring into the darkness. and it
was some time before he thought of Wash,
and the part he played in these disclosures. He
knew all about Wash and his love affairs. He
had the run of the clubhouse, and he had often
come on Wash, whispering with some woman
in a dark corner, or out in some glen on the
golf links; indeed, sitting with Wash in his
room, he had sometimes been permitted to
answer Wash's phone, and tell a lie to the lady
at the other end of the line. On these occa-
sions, Wash did deal of winking, grimacing,
and mumbling about how they were "enough
to set man crazy" and similar remarks.

1T MAY COME as surprise to
the public at large, but trainers
and coaches and athletic directors
are not the only people who know
about the subject, too. They began
to concern themselves about it sew
eral years ago, and the improve
ments they have made are similar
to the improvements in obstetrics
that occurred when the medical
profession took it over from the
midWives.
Confirmation Of this medical in
terest is seen in the publication of
a book by two physicians, Stevens
and Phelps, called '"The Control OF
Football Injuries. In this book
the proper methods Of tackling,
blocking and falling so as to min
imize injuries is taken up in great
detail. Reference was made yes
terday to the fact that the highest
proportion Of football injuries was
from tackling or blocking. Only
IS per cent of injuries are sus-
tanned by those tackled. Many, If
not most, injuries occur in an awk-
ward or green player, or one who

The coach's job is to get his men
into good physical condition, tc
teach them to tackle, ETC., proper
ly, and to furnish proper protec-
tive equipment, He should have
nothing to do with advising treat
ment after an injury has occurred
nor of deciding whether the player
should go back into play. Every
team should have it's own physi
cian-including high school teams
present at practice as we'll a:

Ignorance Injuries Players
AS to treatment, DR.. Marvin
Stevens says: MANY a player has
been severely injured by having
ignorant trainers, players or
coaches try to jerk something back
into place about which they know
nothing, when a skilled physician
could have fixed the player with
out damage"
Most football injuries, or for
that matter, any kind of athletic
injuries, are sprains. These are
mostly at ankle, knee, shoulder and
fingers. Swapping of the ankle
and wrist, and padding Of the
shoulder will reduce these. The
knee cannot be adequately pro-
tected.
A knee injury frequently over
looked is dislocation of one of the
carriages. These are two new
moon shaped cartilages in the knee
joint which normally are attached
to the upper surface of the bone
of the foreleg. The attachment,
however, is not very solid and they
are easily broken loose, in which
case these float around in the joint.
With rest they may become reat-
tached in place, but If recurrent
the cartilage can be removed with
a simple operation which gives 100
per cent good function, When
overlooked they may cause consid-
cradle disability in after life.
Another frequent result Of in
jury is Justification of a muscle.
After dislocation or sprain with a

must always be remembered. In
ignorance it is frequently made
worse by rubbing, pulling and
