The poor woman suffered something awful for nearly four months and none of the doctors we called ib could tell Just what it was that was the matter with her. One said it was one thing, and another would say it was another. Finally, we called In a specialist from New York, because Julia seemed to be in such a bad way. The specialist made an examination and said we would have to have an operation at once, or he wouldh’t be responsible for my sister’s life. He said she had a complication of troubles, but would you believe it, after they had performed the operation they couldn’t find a— Mere Male hoarder—Good lord, let me out of this!

STALLINGS AND MITCHELL ARE REBUILDING

George Stallings and Fred Mitchell were split up lastwinter when Mitehell attached his moniker to a contract as manager of the Cubs. So the “Miracle Man” of Boston had to get along without his miracle coach and advisor, and the “Miracle Coach” had his own row to hoe in Chicago. Both managers buckled into the task of giving their home town fans a winner, and both have failed. Now they are rebuilding the teams for the 1918 race, and it appears from this distance that it will take considerable rebuilding to make winners out of them. Broke Up Combination. Stallings has broken up his pennant winning combination completely. He has gotten rid of no less than five players, and he may get rid of some more. Mitchell inherited a second-di-vision team when he took the Cubs and he knew what he had before him. He knew that it would take time to model a winning-machine out of the material left by Joe Tinker and that new material would be required. When the Stallings-Mitchell combi-

nation was broken up there were those who predicted that the Braves would miss the wise counsel of the “Miracle Coach.” Yet everyone knows that Stallings is capable, a good Judge of bad players and a driving manager. It appears that the Braves were due to fall; that Mitchell’s presence would not have helped matters any. Has New Outfield. * Stallings has disposed of Evers, Magee, Twombley and several others. He has a brand new outfield; he is rebuilding his Infield and he must secure another good catcher, to say nothing of rebuilding the pitching staff. At Chicago Mitchell faces reconstruction that is almost as sweeping. Larry Doyne may not be able to go through another season. Kilduff may eventually succeed the former Giant captain as guardian of the keystone sack. The Cub outfield also needs attention, and Mitchell is looking for several new pitchers. So by the time 1918 rolls around the lineup of the Cubs and Braves, as compared to the lineups of this season, will be vastly changed.

CHASE IS BIG FACTOR

Has Been Playing In American League Twelve Years. One-Time Yankee Star Has Supplied More Impetus to Reds Than Any Other Player^—Temperament Causes Much Trouble. Time has been lenient with Hal Chase, once the Idol of New York fandom. For 12 years he has been campaigning along the major league trail, but not yet does he have to doff his cap to the newer stars. The Sislers, Pipps and Holkes of a later day still have far to go before they can outshine the battle-scarred Redlander. Chase has been an inspiration to the Reds. Next to Matty, the kee star has supplied more impetus to the Cincinnati drive than any other player on the club. He has become The pivot about which the Redland machine revolves. Hal Chase ranks with Jack Coombs as one of the greatest “come-backs” In the history Of baseball. On more than one occasion his major league requiem has been read, but today he is back on the upper course, performing with all the old agility and easy grace that made him one of the most popular players In the country in the years of his service with the Yankees. Chase is one of those high-strung, temperamental ball players. In the past his temperament has caused him a deal of trouble. At times it upset his playing so that It looked as If he were on the soapy chutes headed toward the minors. But Chase seems to have overcome his erratic ways to a great extent. He seems to be more content with his surroundings on the Cincinnati team than he ever was while a member of the Yankees, the White Sox and later In the now defunct Federal league. He is playing steady baseball. Day In and day out he is continually striv-

Hal Chase.

ing for the good of the team. He Is now a cog in a smooth-running machine. He is no longer an individual star, although he is playing just as brilliantly as at any time in his long career. Christy Mathewson regards him as one of the most valuable assets the Cincinnati club has. Not only has Chase been pounding the ball at close to a .300 clip, but he has been fielding with all of his old-time brilliance and running the bases as he was wont to run them when he was having one of his “good” days with the Yanks.

FINGERS KEEP PLAYERS OUT

Erroneous Idea That All Baseball Men Are Physically Fit for Service In the Army. The Idea that all ball players must be physically fit for service in the army appears to be erroneous. Heine Groh, third baseman of the Reds, received orders several days ago to report for examination, and Heine reported. He got away well in the physical test until one of the examiners noted that his fingers were not as straight as they should be. At various times during his baseball career Groh had smashed his fingers in finding batted or thrown balls, and they did not “come back.” As a result, Groh was rejected by the examining board. If the same rule Is to be followed, It means that several ball players who are otherwise physically fit will be rejected by the examining boards.

WARD IS NOT APPRECIATED

Manager Stallings of Boston Braves Would Like to Secure Services of Pirate Shortstop, a ■ They have never appreciated Chuck Ward in Pittsburgh, but any time the Pirates want to get rid of him George Stallings will chip In. The manager of the Braves is quoted as saying that Ward has the makings of one of the greatest Infielders in the game, and when he says infielder he means that Ward can play any position on the diamond and do it well. Ward is not a heavy hitter, but he gets them when they count, as shown by the fact that he is tied with Max Carey In the matter at driving, in Pittsburgh runs.
