TIGER CATCHER
RESTING EASILY,
D 0 CIT RS SAY

Rudy York, Detroit Tigers
catcher who was hit in the head
by one of Monte Weaver's pitched
balls in yesterdays Nat-Tiger
game, spent q comfortable night
at the Garfield Hospital.
The hospital reported his condt
ton was extremely satisfactory"
but some doubt was expressed if
York would be able to Join the
Tigers in Philadelphia today.
PAINFUL CUT
Concerning the Lrshaped cash
which York suffered, hospital au-
thoritieS said it didn't amount
to much and was painful, but not
serious" The big catcher, It
seems, is having trouble resting
easily. He wants to be with his
teammates, but the hospital won't
release him until it is absolutely
sure York is out of danger.
The accident occurred in the
fourth inning of yesterdays game.
Weaver threw a fast ball, high and
inside. It struck York on the left
side Of the skull. Rudy slumped
to the ground, although retaining
consciousness.
COCHRANE TO AID
One Of the first on the scene
was Mickey Cochrane, Tiger man
ager, who himself was struck on
the head by Bump Hadley in a
game with the New York Yankees
in May, 1887. Cochrane was in
serious condition at the time and,
it was feared York's accident may
have been a repetition of his man
ayers.
AS his teammates carried him
off the field, after DR.. Edward
Larkin. Washington baseball club
physician, had given York hasty
examination, the catcher insisted
he was "all right"
York insisted the accident was
no fault of Weaver's and that the
pitch got away from him. IT knew
it was high and inside" York said,
"but it took queer break"

Vast Amount of China Now Under Japanese
 Invaders BOTH NATIONS ARE LOCKED IN COMBAT Total Dead and Wounded Over One Million,
 Observers Agree
(By Associated Press)

The Chinese Japanese war pie ture after seven months of hostili- ties, shows both Oriental armies locked in combat along the Hwai River north of Nanking in a major battle which may decide the fate of vast areas of China's richest ter- ritory.
 Not only the rich soils of China's bread basket are being fought for, but also the major railway lines of the country.
 Since the war began with skir- mish of scouting parties near Pe- king, July 2, last summer, the Ja- |panese troops have swept south ward along the Tientsin-Pukow rail- way. overrunning an area approxi- mately $50 miles wide on either side of the vital rail artery.
 The Tientsin-Pukow Railway is parallel to the Peiping- Hankow route. Japanese occupy most of Shantung, Shansi and Hopeh pro- vinces. Peiping has been captured and key cities in Chahar and Sui van provinces are also in Nippon hands
 Japanese troops marching north west from Shanghai, have covered approximately 320 miles of distance ] in an attempt to close the gap be- tween the conquered areas which varies in width from 80 to 200 miles.
 The battle-ground of Japanese in vaders and Chinese defenders, lies along the third Chinese rail line and China's lifeline, the Lunghai rail- way, running east and west.
 Japan has gained control also of China's capital city Nanking, Shanghai, and the important cities of Peiping, Tientsin, Tsingtao and Hangkow.
 Nippon forces hold the lower Yangtze Valley. most of the valley of the Yellow river, and the Grand Canal.
 l Observers agree that the total of dead and wounded runs into more than million, while the war dam age in dollars and cents runs into an untold number of millions.

H. s. FIRESTONE DIES IN SLEEP,
 FLORIDA HOME
Tire Manufacturer Passes Away During Winter
 Sojourn in South

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. T. - Harvey S. Firestone, aged 69, tire manufacturer, passed away in his sleep according to his son Russell. The elder Firestone had suffered intermittently for the past several years but his health was good when he arrived here for his annual so- journ at his winter home here.
 Interest manifested by the people of Detroit in a rubber-t tired buggy, which he was demonstrating, con- vinced Harvey s. Firestone of the dawning of a new industry
 That was in the early sos. The noiseles feature of the vehicle at once appealed to all. Some with broader vision of the possibilities of the new idea realized the shock absorbing qualities of the rubber tire as compared with the steel band in general use on the wheels of all vehicles.
 Interested in Tires
 Up to the time of the demonstra- tion, MT. Firestone was concerned about the rubber tires principally as means of selling more buggies. in which he then was engaged as sales manager. But it occurred to him that the success of rubber tires on buggies was merely forerunner of their use on wagons and other vehicles, and he decided to devote himself exclusively to tires.
 He established his business in Chicago and with the advent of the automobile, impetus was given to the manufacture of rubber tires. In the early days of the motor driven vehicle, when many thought of it only as crazy invention, MT. Fire stone chung to his belief that even tually it would become the most common form of transportation and on rubber tires. .
 First Venture
 MT. Firestone's first venture in the rubber business was with two partners in the Victor Rubber Com pany. The business flourished un- til it became involved in litigation over the use of welding machine and after a. adverse decision Fire stone and his partners moved to Akron, Ohio. Later the Victor com- pany was merged with the concern that owned the welding machine pa tent. The company was reorgan- ized by New York capitalists and MT. Firestone was named as its Chicago manager.
 After holding that position for six months. Mir. Firestone sold his interest in the company, returned to Akron in the fall of 1899 and or ganized the Firestone Tire and Rub- Der Company. The new business was set up in a made-over machine Ishc-) with a force of IT men. Business Grows
