The recent reiteration of de mands by the Pacific Coast league for Major league status in the baseball world Indicate that next week's Minor league meeting at Buffalo, N. Y-, may produce aome real loud holler ing by the double "A" circuits. The Pacific Coast moguls long have felt that their loop was entitled to more than Minor laegue rating and have re-opened their campaign for a third Major league with considerable vigor. Virtually certain that the Majors will invade the west at the conclusion of the war, Clar ence Rowland, president of the Pacific Coast league, will pre sent an amendment to the Minor league meeting requesting stiff monetary reimbursement when such moves are made. Rowland feels that the progress made in air transportation will permit two and possibly three Major on n in league franchises on the coast. tect his circuit. Inasmuch as it is considered extremely doubtful that the Ma jors would consider the addition of another league of their status, Rowland's proposal stipulates that no city in which a club of the National Association gov. erning body of the Minors la located, shall be Included in the circuit of a Major league unless the Minor League Association agrees.. It also says that in the event such agreement is given. the Major league club shall pay to the member league a sum which shall be divided among the clubs of said league, other than the club whose territory has been acquired, a sufficient sum to compensate for losses sustained by the realignment of the league. It also must pay the Minor league club with which it deals, full compensation. OH Hall Tribune Want Ada. nn. old IlIOMPSOiY BRAND JU.

Ore., Nov. 29 (U.R) Ninety-nine per cent of alco holics fit into seven or eight classifications, some of them good bets" for rehabilitation, others doubtful, says Dr. Seldon D. Bacon of Yale University's laboratory of applied physiol ogy. . . Under present knowledge of tha treatment of chronic inebri ates, the so-called "primary compulsive" drinker's chances of cure are hone too favorable, Dr. Bacon told delegates to the Pacific coast conference on al coholic studies. The primary compulsive drinker, said Dr. Bacon, com prises a third of all excessive alcoholics. He usually is healthy, may have a BUDerlor mind, may detest liquor and swear to quit it. but he can't quit. He may be an idealist, but he feels uncertain and inferior and drinking provides an es cape as his real problems In crease as they do in a vicious circle. An even larser slve to treatment, is the second ary compulsory drinker. He began tippling because it was fun," and led to anoint mH business contacts. But after sev eral yeara, it got out of control. He has called on alcohol to aid him when the slightest problem comes up. until he hue lr.t hi. Job, his friends and even his family. . ... Another smaller but sizable group is made up of "psychotic" drinkers. A psychotic drinker has an advanced mental disease and drinks heavily as an escane from his fears. His drinking is. in fact, "a minor accompani ment to a major sickness." Cor ollary of this group is made up, of feeble-minded drinkers, for whom only institutionalizing can be prescribed. The "situational" drinkers are comparatively a small group of men who drink to escape from a great loss, pain or incurable disease.

Snook, Palmdale, who said the Infant was In a mummified state and showed an eight months' development. Mrs. Buck, who. Is visiting relatives here, was recovering "satisfactorily," Dr. Snook said. "I had already had four chil dren when this one was on the way 18 years ago," Mrs. Buck said. "When the time came for the arrival of the baby, I had a month of excruciating pain. Yet when no baby appeared, I de cided I must have been suffering from a tumor." Her condition was discovered when Dr. Snook took X-rays af ter she had gone to him for treatment of a cold.
