One of the Finest is OOlK' EttS Tb KEEP TYV ‘As IH TH RAC& OWE. C* TKT CECEWEfcS TH By QUIN HALL. IF* Mickey Cochrans the Phila-. dclphia Athletics’ first string catcher, isn’t the classiest guy, tn terms of usefulness, who is hid ing back ot the mask tn the ma jors, then he at least is on# of the most useful performers unde* the big top. You can’t bring up the subject of backstops toAay without giving Mickey a place well up in the front of the bandwagon A fan once made tne remark that a team is no bettei than its i :rst string catcher an l if that be -;h« rate. Connie Mack and his i'ftiindelphia entry have a perfect eight to be up there uaUling the Ylutkoea for the honoi of leading lb# this year. In faci, if cn# i# to figure team strength on the ability of the first string b»ck eop, then Connie’s gang should be leading the Yankee* because Milter Huggins' erew ts notorious ly weak behind the p’ale. Cochrane was originally gradu-, itei Into professional baseball from Boston College, a seat of ieamrng whlrb has give# some rreet lUn to the aatio »a! pastime Fa passing it miuht ■>! mgrn not - be inferestinc to »o!« that Uos toe Collage, Holy ‘-roe* and Coerg alow# have each played e lather strong role in giving some great players to the business of baseball. From college Mickey went to the Portland club of the Coast League and Connie Mack sppared him from there several years ago. While it is reported that Mickey cost Mack $50,000, it hasn't been recorded that the canny Connie has ever let loose a sqawk over the transaction. It is likely that Coch rane would bring qonsiderably more than that figure if he was for sale today—which ne isn t. Mickey can hit and run. He’s one of the fastest catchers m the gamy today on foul flies and he’s a cool, smart rcceivet who can backstop successfully for Walberg and Grove, two of the nardest left handed twirlers in the ousiness to handle. Years ago a catcher was eirT ployed to catch the oitener and stop runners who had am bt ions to steal the second corner. There weren’t many hard hitting back stops, but things have -. hanged in baseball, just as they r-ave in the style <*/ milady's skirts and a hitting catcher is a vital on* '» ■» successful baseball macaine i-est vear Mickey hit 338 and be'* socking the apple eoo*i*tent> 'his masoq. If* a conceded fact tn*t • r» cciver nas a lot to do with the work of his pitchers and the cool manner in which Cochrane has handled the backstop job for the Athletics undoubtedly ha3 had a steadying influence on Mack's twirlers and incidentally, has had something to do with the fact that Philadelphia is almost sure to fiD ish in second place if they fail in j their efforts to run down the ,Ne\v York Yankees. Mack has another capable catch er in young Foxx but the manner in which Mickey has been doing his chores has convinced Connie that he’s on the job of first string backstop to stay and in order to get Foxx and his healthy tutting in the line-up Mack is using the , youngster in the infield, where he i.s doing some good wort His stick work is making him one of the sensations of the present gallop.

GIGANTIC STEEL BALL AAIDE INTO FREAK HOSPITAL I* Filled With Compressed Air. Patients To Live I’nder Pressure Cleveland, O.. Aug. 30 One of the strangest experiments in the his tory of medical science’s long tight against disease—-an experiment to- , which H H Timken, wealthy man ufacturer of Canton, O.. has given $1.000.000—is soon to be undertaken here. It is the ‘’Timken tank," a huge airtight steel ball fitted out j like a hospital, in which patients suffering from diabetes and other maladies will live under 30 pounds air pressure, forced into the tank by powerful air compressors. Sealed therein, but continuously supplied with fresh air pumped to them, they | will live as in any other hospital. It is claimed the compressed air aids in restoring health. Amid the noisy clatter of riveting machines, steel workers have be n building the big hollow ball for ; months. It is now practically com plete and will be ready for occu- j pancy about Oct. 1 Designed to hold 30 pounds air pressure, it has been tested to 00 pounds and found leakproof. If you can imagine what life would be like inside a balloon tire, properly inflated, you can understand what living in this tank will be like. Double doors, like the watertight doors on i battleship or submarine afford the only entrance; a broken win dow glass would mean a blow out. much like that ol an aUto tire. It was as a icsumumm faith in the compressed air treat ment of diabetes that Timken gave SI.000,000 for the exerctun of the tank and a three-story brick hos pital building that adjoins it. Tun ken seeks no profit therefrom, but hopes that the enterprise will be self-sustaining. The millionaire was inspired to make the gift by the claims oi Dr O J. Cunningham that he has been successful in treating such cases with smaller compressed air equip ment in Kansas City Dr. Cunning ham will be in charge of the tank hospital here. Some medical au thorities frankly are skeptical about the queer looking hospital and are anxious for Cunningham to present proof and data concerning patients he has treated to recognized medi cal agencies. The compressea an. vi treatment of diabetes, arthritis and kindred diseases caused by what is known as the anarobic germ, is not new. but has never before been at tempted on such proportions. In the three-story brick hospital building which adjoins the steel tank, patients will receive prelimi nary treatment. From there they will pass through steel tubes, about the size of Pullman cars, where i-the normal air-pressure will be in creased gradually to 30 pounds. Then they will pass through the I airtight doors into the big hollow i ball. Inside the big steel ball are five floors, with an elevator in the cen I ter. On the first floor is the din ing room, fringed by a balcony which can accommodate more din ing tables. Above th'- dining room and the balcony are three floors, ; each having 12 private rooms with circulating ice water and individual bath. Light is supplied through holes, each room having six. The top floor has two rooms and a large, high-ceilinged recreation room to provide entertainment for the patients. Tentatively, it is planned for ! patients to live one we^k in the brick hospital and thep a week in the tank. Doctors will be in constant attendance and prescribe for them j regularly. The compressed air forced in j to the tank will be filtered, cooled | and properly humidified by expen I sive machinery. CAROLINA GIVES LIBERALLY TO THE BRYAN SCHOOL Dayton. Team—The total secured in the national movement for es tablishing a Christian university at Dayton. Tenn., as a memorial to William Jennings Bryan, has al ready reached $750,000 and is ■ steadily growing, according to Mal colm Lockhart, national director of the Bryan Memorial university association, which is building the university. From the standpoint of amounts subscribed, North Carolina is fifth in the list of 33 states from which gifts have come, the total of sub scriptions from North Carolina be , ing approximately $46,000. F. E. Robinson, president of the association which is building the university, says the concrete foun dation for the first building, which is to cost $300,000, will be com pleted by September 1, and erection of the walls will begin immediately thereafter.

Third Jesse James Steals Autos Instead Of Horses-WillBe Good Carlinville. 111.—A life of banditry, for Jesse James, III, was nipped In the bud Wednesday, when a pri soner who convinced Sheriff Stub blefield ol his identity, telegraphed Jesse James, II, a Los Angeles law- I yer. to come to his rescue following his first offense—the theft of an automobile. Grappling with th^ doubt in mind of Sheriff Stubbleheld that lie was a grandson of the first Jesse James, the prisoner traced the family his tory from his grandfather’s death at Spring Lake, Mo., at the hands of Robert Ford, up to the time of his own arrest. He declared his forgiveness for the crime he committed in stealing an automobile at Greenfield, Ind., would put him on a straight and narrow road again, to follow the footsteps of Jesse James. II. —Praise Firemen—Since the re cent building collapse disaster here there has been considerable praise for members of the city fire de partment, regulars and volunteers, who aided in the rescue and salvage work for hours without halting long enough to eat.
