WHY WE SMELL LIKE

Cherubic children whom you meet
And cen most saint-like ladies'
Exhale strange fumes: in fact-to tell
The truth-they smell like hades.
The Devil must be fought with fire;
Earth's angels. willy-nilly,
Resort TO Satan's element
In fighting grippe bacilli.
Since cen the fullest spirit, here
Imprisoned in a body
Surmises YOU can't best the grippe
With doctors stuff or toddy.
So ev'ry angel who's a-foot,
Lest Deaths dark wave engulf her
Pours in her shoes or stockings now
A Sprmkling of pure sulphur.
But heaven knows-tho pity tbs
To il, alas we smell now
" are not trying TO set up
But to escape a hell now.

Cincinnati. June 29.-The Reds and the
Senators did not play today. The two
clubs will meet again tomorrow. Mana
gers Ewing and Irwin spent the time in
brooding over their troubles, and each of
them has more than his share of worries
that beset the path and disturb the sleep of
the baseball generals. Neither OF the
teams has been performing up TO the
standard, and ways and means of lettering
the standing are being considered in each
camp.
1t has been suggested that Irwin hire a
vacant lot or an unused race track and
compel his Senators to practice running
II is true that the Washingtons' work on
the base lines was not good, or even fair
"Wednesday. but this was not the true
cause of their defeat, for only one man vas
left on base. The main thing for the
Senators to do is 10 locate the ''hoodoo"
that has been following them for some
time past and despatch il after it has teen
tortured sufficiently.
Ewing's troubles are also numerous and
heavy. II is not true that Buck has had a
disagreement with President Brush over
the Reds poor showing, but the manager
is doing all in his power to get his team
in winning trim. One thing that would
help the Reds would be for Cincinnati to
go for prohibition.

STAKES AT HEEPsHEAD.
PrestIdigitntor Wins the June nn,
Bangle the Long Island.


New York. June 29.-Sheepshead Bay
racing enclosure looked as fresh as re-
touched oil painting this afternoon and the
1000 patrons enjoyed the outing. The
overnight rainstorm had not only laid the
dust effectually, but restored their spring
verdure to the grass and foliage.
The first fixture on the card was the
June Stakes, for which two-year- olds of
average merit faced the barrier. The race
was little more than an exercise gallop
for the favorite, Prestidigitator, who led
all the way and won by two lengths from
Carrollton, with all the rest strung out.
Speculation on the Long Island Handi-
cap was brisk. Maxine was favorite and
Bendoran next. When it came to racing,
however. neither could land the money.
Imp and Bedoran went out to make the
running until well up the back strecth,
where Bendoran had enough. Bangle then
moved up to Imp, and, Shaking her off in
the stretch, won cleverly by three lengths,
willie Maxine came strong enough at the
END to beat Imp length and a half for the
place.

DISTRICT AMATEUR LEAGUE.
The City Postofiice Team Defeats th,
American Athletic Club.

The City Postoffice team defeated the
American Athletic Club yesterday after
noon by the score of u to 8. For six in
nings the Athletics were unable to get a
man across the plate, and it seemed that
shut-out would be scored by the Postoffice
boys. But in the seventh inning by good
batting and daring base running the Ath-
letics began to pile up tallies and the game
grew exciting. They We're not able TO
overcome the big lead of the PostoAice
team. however and although they made
things interesting for a while, were COM
PEELED to go down in defeat.
Taylor. a eft-hander, was tried in the
box by the Postoiiiee manager, and pitched
good game, although in the last three
innings he lost his grip on the ball and
also developed a slight case of rattles.
Waple who succeeded Sullivan in the box
for the Athletics, did remarkably well for

Chicago, June 2s.-Doheny started to

two innings and half. In that brief pc

safe hits and presented them with eight
bases on balls. In addition to this, he hit
two batters with pitched balls. Chicago
had scored seventeen runs when Doheny
was relieved by Gettig, who made very
fair showing in the box, but received
wretched support. and as Griffith made no
effort the game degenerated into a farce.

MALARIA CONTROL.

On the 10th inst. the Record Union"
ture'' upon the research made into the
cause of malaria. It was there shown
that along the whole line of inquiry
there has been for years a drift toward
the belief that mosquitoes originate the
malarial parasite and convey it to hu
man beings; that certain kinds thus
become vehicles of i'll, while certain
| others are harmless.
1t was shown that gradually these be-
liefs have concentrated into conviction
confirmed by the researches of Major
Ronald Ross who demonstrated that the
parasite exists; that it is always with
the mosquito, and that it can be pre-
vented if not exterminated That there
fore we have the control Of the ma
larial pest within our own hands, since
| it is by no means difficult to destroy
the mosquito in his breeding places.
Since the publication of that article
we find in Mature" the following note
which clinches the matter and settles
it for all time, unless Major Ross is en-
tirely mistaken, and along with him the
great body of physicians and scientists
who have devoted to the subject years
of study and the most patient and un-
tiring research. The Nature says:
| Major Ronald Ross has sent A. L.
Jones a letter from Sierra Leone on his
investigation into the cause of ma
laria. In the course of the communica-
ton he says: We have now practically
finished our work here We have found
I-(a)-that local species of Anopheles
| (mosquitoes) carry malaria; (b) that
these species breed in a few stagnant
puddles For many scientific reasons we
have come to the conclusion that the
truly malarial fever is caused here sole
| ly by the mosquito-probably entirely
by the Anopheles species. We esti-
mate then that most Of the malarial
fever here can be got rid of at almost
no cost except of little energy on the
part Of the local authorities.

Then you could not be ignorant that
