...fluid, said Dr. Davis, cannot be given to patients who need red blood corpuscles, but only to those who suffer from shock due to loss of blood and who need to maintain a normal amount of fluid in circulation. It must be sterilized, filtered and typed, just like ordinary blood. Transfusions have been given to nine patients suffering from such diverse ailments as kidney infections, alcoholism, malaria, cancer and gunshot wounds. One man even acted as his own dropsy donor, when Dr. Davis removed 34 ounces of fluid from his stomach, promptly pumped them back into...
American League. Although the World Champion New York Yankees are overwhelming favorites to win their fourth straight pennant, the most talked of team in the league is the Boston Red Sox. To camp followers this spring they showed such class that they are generally given an outside chance to beat the favorites to the wire-or at least give them a run for their money.

Not the least perturbed last week Rookie Williams drawled: "There is only one man on the Boston club who can hit them further than me. That's Jimmy Foxx...
...peculiar limp (only one leg bends at the knee and both huge feet are equipped with rollers). He can salute with either hand. He can count up to ten on his fingers, bending each finger individually. By means of photoelectric cells equipped with color filters, he can tell red from green. He can talk and sing (by voice recordings played through an amplifier). He can suck smoke from a cigaret placed in his mouth, and exhale through his nostrils...
