1hREE-RUN HOMER

Then, boosted by Kenny Yer
nier'S three-run homer, two
walks and a pair of errors, they
added five more runs in the
third. Two more runs were add
ed in the fourth one in the sixth
and three in the seventh, when
fielder Harold Stringer helped
things along with circuit blow
which drove in Bates ahead of
him.
Meanwhile, Peschke collected
only singles in their four hits
ana had help from errors on
Chree of their four runs, two of
the TALES by Bob Bourdsgc,
Their only threat of d rally
came in the sixth when BoGr-
dage wa ked and came home on
an error. The next man up, Joe
Moore, made first on an error
and came in on Gerry Bour-
dage's single. Two strikcouts
and a grounder to third retired
the side, however.
Vcrnier and Bill Roberts,
each with two for four, paced
the Merchant batters, Roberts
getting three runs. Bob Bour-

INMAN STILL SECOND

Shortstop Dave lnman, whose
timely blows have won two
games in the final frame, still
stands in second place; Inman
has tailed nine hits in IS Off
cial times up for a .346 mark
He is also the leading scorer,
having crossed the plate five
times.
Only two Of the Bathers are
swinging over the 800 figure;
whereas three were last week
Five members of the squad are
in the 200 group and four are
below that mark. The team av-
erage is a .252, a drop of IA
points since last week, when ii
was .266. Two games have been
played since the last check on
averages, the tits being with
Fordson and Monroe.
NO HOMERS YET
Only three Of the Bathcrs
have been good for triples dur
ing the season and no one has
put a homer into the book. In
man, Siercns and Ralph Sic
vert are responsible 70. the
three baggcrs, while Bliss, Sic
vert and Tnman have cornered
the only other extra base hits
doubles; Bliss has three TO his
credit, Sicwcrt two and Inman
one.
In the uncnvicd errors de.
partment, shortstop Inmar Ups
the list, having booted away
nine chances in seven games;
catcher Jimmy Beardslee ranks
second with four.
The Bathcrs have piled up "a
runs over the stretch while OPP
ponents were collecting 16. The
margin Of difference has been
slim in most instances, how
ever; the only two games lost
by the city high crew were by
One-run margins while three OF
their five victories were by a
similar slim edge.

DCCCC( 1COICI1 Man
by DIR. Logan CIendening

These studies have a value
which is implied rather than
easily defined.
William Osler once said that
the difference between a great
physician and a good physician
lay in the ability Of the former
10 diagnose the patient as we'll
as the disease.
The great physician in the
course of time is able to tell
what is the matter by the pa
tents knock on the door.
THE latest and most elaborate
l. of the studies in measure
ment OF the body in order to
classify types is that done by
Or. w. II. Sheldon of Harvard
University.
After making a number Of
measurements, he obtains what
he calls a sonatotype and he
has named three kinds of soma
totypes.
First endomorphy. which goes
with the relative predominance
of the internal organs and ia
pering arms and legs.
When endomorphy is extreme,
the digestive organs are large
and tend to dominate the body
economy.
Mesomorphy is shown by the
predominance OF muscle. bone
and connective tissue-the me-
dial tissues in the body.
The skin is coarse and hairy,
the hands and feet large.
Ectomorphy is indicated by a
small abdomen and chest and
tendency TO fragility.
The ectomorphic type has the
largest brain and central nervous
system.
Not only tendency towards
diease. but also tendencies to-
wards mental traits are brought
out in these studies.

L tors have been trying TO

Long ago the four humours
were named: if a man had too
much blood he was called san
guine; if he-hsd-too much

matte and if he had too much
bile, he was called melancholy.
This system had the great adj
vantage that il was very easy 10

II a man had too much blood.
you bled him; if he had too
much phlegm and was cold, you
warmed him up with hot pads.
Hippocrates believed that
there were two types of individ-
uals: those who had a phthisic
habitus and those who had an
apoplectic habitus.
The phthisic types had long,
thin body and were subject 10
tuberculosis; the apoplectics had
a thick, heavy body and we're
subject 10 apopleXy.
I AFTER these crude generaliza-
IL tons were subjected 10 ex-
act. mathematical asure-
ments.
Among the earliest of these
workers was an Italian named
Viola who measured in various
individuals the exact amount of
space in the chest and abdomen.
He found that "A per cent had
small organs, 28 per cent had
large organs and AZ per cent
were medium in size
BY following these patients
for years. he was able TO make a
rough table OF how resistant
they were 10 disease and what
diseases were likely 10 overcome
them.

do not think you have. The

Either form of the proposed

be a sort of shock-absorber for
our economic structure when
the vast army is demobilized
and thrown back into civil life.
1t is my guess that at least a
million men will be retained in
service for a long time to come.
perhaps permanently. but four
or five millions will be dispersed
and left TO their own resources.
1t is these who must be pro-
vided for.
1t will cost a great deal OF
money, yes. Possibly as much
in a year as a single week of
the war. But the money will 60

our normal business and it is
conceivable that it may avert
an economic calamity while saw

The Brighter Side

TWO bills that I know Of
- have been introduced in
Congress in line with my sug-
gestion that the pay of the men
serving sin the armed forces be
continued for a period after the
war.
On June %. 1912. Congress
man Lynch introduced II. r.
1898 providing for the continu-
ance of pay for a year from the
date of honorable discharge,
this measure to apply TO those
in the service on or after Dec.
s, 1912.
On Aug. II, 1912, II. r. 7494
was introduced by Congressman
James E. Van Zandt, providing
for the continuance of pay of
those serving at least 80 days
for a period of six months from
the date of honorable discharge,
separation or release from ac-
tive service, during which six
months such persons shall be
members of the reserve forces.
The Van Zandt bill specifies
that in no event shall the
monthly pay of any such per-
sons exceed $500 per month for
the six months unless they are
recalled for active service. With
in the monthly pay limitation
imposed in the bill, the increased
percentage in pay allowed for
foreign service shall apply where
any such service is shown.
