BAD MILK KILLING
NEW YORK BABIES
Death Rate Three Times
Greater Than Rest of
State.

NEW YORK. July 12-Impure milk,
1t was declared today. IS responsible for
the alarming death rate among babies
in Greater New York.
Startling statistics from the State
board Of health show that more than
three times as many children between
the ages Of one and I'VE years old die
every day in Greater New York than
in the rest OF the State.
The death rate Of children under one
year of age In New York city is 66.5 per
cent Of the total for the State, and for
children one TO five years OF age 1852 per
cent.
This excessive death rate cannot be
wholly accounted for by the congestion
Of the tenement districts. the lack Of
air and sanitary conditions.
The explanation Is indicated by the
large number Of deaths from disease due

mortality from these diseases as COM

singles by Pennell Downs and Andrews.
When the smoke had vanished Topeka
had added three runs.
In the fourth they put a steel cinch
TO the game by ADDING four more.
Ragan and Companion started of by
singing and they crossed the plate on
Cooley s second double. Downs walked
and both he and Cooley trotted home
on Davis single.
The locals added one more in the
fifth just for good measure. Walsh,
fearing that Mr.. Ragan might hit for
a home run this time. issued him a
pass admitting him to the running
Companions sacrifice. and Huriburt
hit brought him home.
After the fifth Mr. Boliver Kaufman
a young man who used to play at lit
tie country school in Missouri, was
placed on the rubber and the locals
treated him with the utmost courtesy.
They did not even hit him. Perhaps
they thought he might make easy
picking at a later date and they were
saving him until then.
DR.. Shiveley was present at the
game and the occasion was marked by
the breaking in of a new umpire. He
was young Topekan known as Dutch
Lewis with one arm who has won
some local renown as a ball player.
His judgment on balls and strikes was
good and he got along very nicely with
all save PettigreW. Petty thought he
had robbed him of a hit by calling a
fair hit foul. He objected in such a
manner that the continuance of the
game was placed in jeopardy for some
little time. The hit really was fair but
it was a somewhat close decision.
Lewis will doubtless make good as he
appears to have a good eye.
Rain broke UP the game in the
seventh inning after Hutchinson had
gone out In the regular order Ragan
had just walked when the clouds broke
loose and all was over.
The feature of the game was the
fine work OF Ragan both at short and
at bat and a sensational stop by John
SON Hutchinson has some good play
ers but the team Is one of the most
Hstless ever seen in Topeka. A little
Jamaica ginger would work wonders
with the team.
