s'They Gave Our
Boy A Blood
TRANSMISSION

This statement is heard so often today that we
do not stop to think of all the work necessary
over period Of years to make this safe proceed
ure possible. .....@
The idea Of injecting blood from healthy
Individual into the blood stream of patient has
been tried for three hundred years. In the old
days usually both the donor and the patient died;
the donor from infection due to improper tech
nique and the patient from infection or incom-.
patibiity of the blood of the donor and recipient
Medical Doctors, after years of patient
work, have been able to classify human blood in
four groups; and by this work are able to give
to the patient TRANSMISSION which works per-
fectly without danger: The method of giving
: the TRANSMISSION has been so perfected that to-
day there are thousands given daily over this
country without the slightest danger.
To make blood TRANSMISSION safe and sane
therapeutic measure was big and important
work. It has been done. The public is surely
thankful that the medical Doctors did not give
up before this frequently ife-saving measure
was completed.

made up of season ticket holders or
those who bought tickets by mail last
year. More than 80 percent of them
live outside the Twin Cities. One
person in three at a Minnesota game
has to leave his home town to be
there.
That means that, in full season,
about 10000 out of town people are
drawn to the Twin Cities by the
thrills football provides. No wonder
hotels and merchants look forward to
the football season.
Bierman Resting.
While the ticket office makes pre-
parations for the season, Coach Ber-
ME Bierman is taking a rest. He has
been visiting in Montana and now
is spending three weeks at home, with
occasional excursions for fishing, be-
fore he goes south for a series of
football schools.
Of course, when we say Bernie is
resting, we don't mean exactly that.
The old Bierman bean is always func-
tioning. His idea of spending an idle
moment is to turn away from CORE
spondence and conferences and dia-
gram few new plays.
They'll Catch Louis.
They have signed Joe Louis to
fight Bob Pastor in Detroit next Sep
TENDER and this will be the beginning
of hard going for the champion. Pas
tor is smart and tough and dangerous.
He doesn't figure to beat Louis but
he figures to take something out of
the champion and make him little
easier for the next fellow to handle.
Louis is in that stage of his career
now where fresh, young opponents
will begin to carve him down until
they have got him ready to be taken.
History Takes Lou.
They have given Lou Gehrig to
history. His playing career is ended
and now the historians of the game
can give him a place with the all
time greats.
Doubtless they will agree he was
the best first baseman baseball has
ever had
There have been few who fielded
a little better, few who hit little
better; but there has never been a
first baseman, or a player in any posi-
ton, who combined all the qualities
including team spirit, baseball smart
ness, loyalty and fight with great
fielding and great hitting as gener-
ously as Gehrig combined them.
He was superior person, a fine
man, great fighter.
1t can be said he did more for his
team than any first baseman who ever
lived, and that is the final test.
