BIG LEAGUE BALL GOSSIP

NEW ORLEANS, April 4—<C.P.)-— Baseball wise railbirds who compare the Cleveland Indians or 1920 with the 1920 edition declare the club has been improved more than any other outfit in the American League. How- ever, this diagnosis, if correct, will not necessarily insure the red skins a high place ln_baseball for they had more room for improvement than most of the other clubs.

There seems no reasonable ‘doubt that Manager Roger Pccklnpaughs remade team will oflcr a far bvidvr front than he was able to present lnstuszason. His infield has been strengihened by the addltionpf the little but rugged Jackie Tavener ard transfer of Joey Seweli to third base md a much needed punch in the outfield has been supplied by the additicn oftwo promising recruits ard a1 established stzlr. Porter and Earl Averill have shown indications of living up to their minor league reputations and Bib Falk, the for- mer Chicago White Sox can “swan base hits with most of the major lea- gue batsmen. ‘

No radical changes have been made in the battery forces but Jim Zinn who has pitched good ball for sev- eral years in A, A. baseball, will have a chance to see if he can d9 half as welludiigher up.

Luke Sewell, junior of the famous Sowell brtohers. and Glenn Myati, will do the catching with Grover Hartley, a veteran who is listed RH a coach, acting as emergency relic.’ unless General Manager Billy Evans finds a likely prospect unattached.

Zinn and Ken Holloway, late 0i Detroit, seems to be the best oi the

, new pitchers on the staff-but Wes- ley Ferrell, who was farmed to Terrc Hauie, is back evidently to staywitli an even better fast ball than he had last spring. Verne Underhill, anoth- er farm hand. probably will make the

the 1928 stall’. Miller has shown de- cided improvement over his prev- ious performances and Hudlin has worked long and hard at a control machine. He has a target set up in right field or the Pelicans ball park where the Indians train and spends hours throwing at it. If he gets control he is expected to take his place beside the leading pitchers of the league. Shautc, the big left hand- erphas a brand new delivery which may increase his effectiveness. He pulls the ball out of his hip pocket much on the order of Earl Moore, the famous Phillie pitcher of two de- cades ago. \ v

Three-fourths of the infield is set. Joe Sewell, although he has never played third base ls already alfhome and seems to have conquered the queer angles a shortstop finds at a corner of the infield. Tavener, who gets as many extra base hits Is sin- gles in a year's work, will play short- stop with Car Lind, the double play expert, at second base. Lew Fonseca and Johnny Hodapp are available for first base with Fonseca, the Portuguese song bird, having the call. Ray ‘Gardner, New Orleans shortstop, can field but his hitting re- mains in doubt. John Burnett, big and fast, who isa product of the University of Florida, has mad; a good impression and may be kept as he is a versatile performer.

Porter and Averill seem destined to start the season in right and center as both have hit well in the spring. The clever Jamieson is in a contest with the hard hitting Bib Folk for the other field.

Looking For-A Pennant

g1... .-.._ .. . By our»: nan.

Joe McCarthy and his Chicago Cubs are already. conceded a. great chance tb cop this year's National League gallop. Nearly everyone who follows baseball holds that opinion.

Naturally thereare a lot of fans in New York, Pittsburgh and St. Louis who are rooting for their home teams. The same thing gees for Cin- cinnati, Brooklyn, Boston and Phi- ladephia; but the cheering in these sections does not seem to be quite so intense. Even in the hometowns of the rival teams, prospects of the Cubs are well respected.

Ever since Joe McCarthy took over the Cub pilot house, ‘he has done a 300d Job for Owner Bill Wrigley and the other stockholders of the or- ganization. Wrigley is one of these fellows who is in the gamormore for the fun he gets out of it than the money he can make. Of course, he likes to show a profit, but he has hisheart set on seeing a flag wave over hislnorth side ball yard'in Chl- cago and he has been spending con- siderable money in building up the club in hopes of checking in with a pennant winner. This year he_ seems to have a great chance to cop. If the Cubs figure it is going to be a walk-away they are likely to become overconfldent and blow the

. . n chance. One of McCarthy's big jobs. it would seem, is keeping his club up on its toes no matter how far they get ahead. There is enough strength on the Pirates, Giants and Cardina to help him in this task and the oihcr clubs seem to be stronger than a year ago.

McCarthy was given an outside chance to cop the race last year and did finish in the three-hole with an infield which was nothing to write home about. Over the Win- tcr, the Cubs reached out an grabb- ed Rogers Homsby, one of the slick- est second baseman in the business. A fellow like Hornsby operating at the keystone sack is likely to lift up the entire infield to a. point where it will bring the Cubs in ahead of the pack. ‘

McCarthy is putting his crowd through their paces in California and, while_,your roving reporter ls busy among the Florida training camps, reports from Los Angeles indicate that the Chicago gang has all the appearance of a stellar ball club. It's a cinch that with Hornsby to bolster it up, the Cuba will be much tougher to beat this year than lest, and the records prove that they were good last season.

Some of the trouble-makers in-

sist that McCarthy and the mjah will not hit it off together, but the early reports would indicate that i-hey are clicking. I-lomsby has be- come noted for being one of the early birds at the park every morn? ing, he's calling the rookies by their nicknames, he's dispensing pepper talk on the field, and he isn't even reading the papers to find out the winners in the gee-gee races at Tia Juana. Those things speak volumes and it's a. certainly that Hornsby will be giving his bes to the Cubs when the season gets under way next. month. The Rajah always play base- ball and, with a chance to be on a pennant winner this year, "he is liable to play even better than he is in thehabit, of doing.

Outside "of his infield, McCarthy had a pretty nifty ball outfit in i028. He had a heavy hitting outfield. good pitching and lots of power and punch back of ihe plate. He still retains all the strength he had last year plus Hornsby. Woody English. the Cubs’ high-priced shortstop, should strike his stride this season and, with Hornsby on second, the whole infield will be much stronger, If you can't tab the Cubs in, you can at least figure them mighty near the top at the finish.

FINE ADDRESS '

-Contlnued from page 1-

howevor, we have the illustration of a wonderful hospital system and, as we know, they have some of the finest hospitals in the world carried on altogether by voluntary contri- butions. ,

When w. colne tq the United

‘States and Canada, however, (and

especially in Canada) we here find the best illustration of the system of hospitals constructed by voluntary subscriptions and supported iolsome- extent by the some but also assisted very materially by the different gov- ernments and municipalities. As we are vastly more interesied in the op- eration of our Canadian hospitals than we are in those of other coun- tries, i think it would be well there- fore for mo- to confine my remarks almost altogethe io the- Canadian hospital ituqtlon. ~ .

Ourgldcas of hospital finance have changed considerably since hospitals were first organized by nuns and sisters is [refuge for the needy sick.

In the establishment and manage- merit of hospitals there are two very vital queslions that must be first considered. The first, of course, is efficiency. We realize today more than ever the importance of the pub- lic health and, as greater develop- ment perhaps has been made ln medical and surgical appliances than anything else in this age, it is up to lire management of, the hospitals to see that so far as possible their par- ticular hospital is provided with all o! the-latest appliances aveilible for the relief of suffering and the sav- ingvof human life..

The other important question, however, is that of cost to the hos- pital patient. The public press, poli- tical leaders, social workers. and others ‘all’ demand lower hospital rates for the small wage earner. This is a. legitimate request, for hospital costs do seem high for the manwho ls "down". However, the average hos- plial is now run so economically that any lowering of costs _ln one depart- ment must inevitably result in higher charges elsewhere. The lowering of our standard cf efficiency is un- thinkable. Semlpriv-to charges are usually about actual coat. Private rooms areusualiy above coat and this surplus is used io help to make up the loss on-the public wards. Were it not for the revenue from tho X- ray department and other retirees, cost of private ‘rooms would be ltili higher. - The only means of reducing this cost w paying patients is to let the out of maintenance for the non- nlvin: m- nlrt-nlsins not-I'M!

quate in most of the provinces, and until such time as the independent‘ worthy citizen is freed from the bur- den of carrying another patient on his already drooping shoulders. hos- pital "costs cannot be materially re- ducedfiMore government aid is the solution.

To this audience it may perhaps be of considerable interest to know just what is being done by the other Province in Canada and tosee what our hospitals would receive if they were treated on the same basis as those in the other Provinces: I am going to show what is done in each Province and what would have been pllld under such a scale in the Prince Edward Island.
