Fear Rube Waddell is Dying.
In spite of his belief that he was suffering only from a slight attack of bronchitis, “Rube” Waddell, once a great baseball pitcher, has left Minneapolis to begin a battle with tuberculosis, at his sister’s home in San Antonio, Texas.
A short time ago a story was current that he had fallen a victim to the white plague, but he scoffed at the idea, and said he was suffering from a severe cold.
Since then he has been growing steadily weaker, and has been in bed for several days. His physicians fear that Waddell’s chances for recovery are slight.
