Pitcher McCloskey has been recalled by
Philadelphia Nationals and Jack Dunn is
again minus one of his best slab men. The
notification came this morning and this
afternoon the clever young left handler is
leaving the city. where he has made such
a favorable impression and has had such
genuine success.
Since coming to this city McCloskey
has won the majority OF his games and
Won the hearts -ef the fans from the first
game in which he worked He won that
game and has been winning ever since.
Almost as soon as he left the Quaker
City team the management was regretting
that he had. been allowed 10 go and after
his work OF the past week IL was thought
that he was good enough for them and
hence the order recalling him.
Jack Dunn will not seek one for a few
days, but In the event OF needing a good
man to fill in he will recall Gid Brown,
who has been doing some fast work for
the team 10 which he was loaned.
For the game this afternoon Hardy
worked again with Barton catching Hig-
gins Will not work until some right-hand-
ed man is put in TO pitch. Bill is tust
aching TO show what he can do for him
self and just as soon as the opportunity
comes Jack will give him the chance.

CITY TO SEND
NO MORE DOGS
Up TO BOSTON

No more animals suspected Of having
rabies Will be sent TO Boston for examina-
tion by DIR. King, deputy superintendent
OF health. at the city's expense. as the
doctor believes that the city will not gain
anything further by doing so.
The animals previously sent there for
examination were for the purpose OF as
certaining II there were any cases OF
rabies in this city. and also 10 learn
whether the black tongue" was a form
OF rabies.
When IL was discovered that there was
rabies in this city. steps TO protect the
people were at once taken by ordering
that all unrestraineG dogs be muZzled /;
and the city would not profit by knowing
that there was more rabies I'm the city.
DR. King will probably learn the re-
suits OF the examination OF the dog af-
fected with the black tongue" this week.
The doctor. however. advises all per-
sons bitten by animals suspected OF hav-
ing ra bies 10 send them to Boston for ex

Pasteur treatment Is needed. IL is inn
portant 10 receive the first injection Of
