The Indians welt af5ar the zane with blood in their eg ss at this point anl made pretty efort to land it. but could only .qneeze cue man across the rubber. In tbe sixth the local team made an- other hard effort to cineh the game, the first four men lining out singles, scoring another tally ard filling the bases. Atkinson frightened his belt tout fonr notches and pulled him .elf cut of a bad hole fly hard and fever pitching. The game was called t the end of the sixth, leaving the core three to one in favor of Ketchi- am. The game was played in the ain and WAS remarkably good on both .des cons dering the condition of the 1=ld and the slippery ball.

, sport been so intense and general as
We have had here this year The sea
sor's excitement eliminated yester'
day In the game between New. York
/ and Chicago to decide league cham
picnship. The feeling was stimulated
by the fact that New York really had
won the championship but was de-
prived OF it ly technically and
through the neglect OF single play
er 10 20 from first base to second
after the winning run had been made
In a last inning.
Politicians complain that the base
ball fever really has done much to
make this campaign remarkably dull.
People have been SO much interested
In bali games and scores that they
have refused TO turn their minds Or TO
give their time to politics. 1t Is point
ed out as another curious fact that
Notwithstanding the general talk OF
hard times that tens of thousands
OF men are walking the streets unem'
ployed, the attendance at ball games
has broken all records ard practically
all the leagues have earned money
heavily. One explanation OF this Of
fered is that people are anxious for
any amusement Or occupation which
will take their minds on their troubles.
1t may be that the unprecedented
rushing to the ball grounds this year
marks the high water period OF base
ball interest and that reaction will
come. In the last thirty years 1t has
happened three or four times that IN
terest in the game went on increas-
ing through several years and then
suddenly relaxed and died out for a
year or two. In Richmond baseball

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DISEASE
IN THE SCHOOLS.

Precautions against disease cannot
be too strictly enforced in the city
public schools. Twenty-Five hundred
children and sixty-three teachers
gather in the school buildings daily.
and II a contagious or infectious d.
sease should begin to spread among
them. nearly every home In the city
would be threatened, and the WORK
OF the session would be seriously In.
terfered with.
This year the school authorities arc
more than ordinarily active in theii
Efforts to insure sanitary conditions
in the buildings. and to prevent the
introduction OF diseases among the
pupils. Among other things. upon
the urgent recommendation OF the
High school faculty. the trustees
have made an appropriation for the
installation Of sanitary drinking foun.
tains in the buildings. Anyone who
has read what the scientists have to
say about the practice Of drinking
from cups at public places will I'M
derstand that these fountains. or
something to answer the same pur-
pose. should have been provided long
ago.
No matter how diligent the trus-
tees, the superintendent. principals
and teachers may be, however. they
cannot properly safeguard the schools
unless they are given the assistance
|of the city health department. The
Daily Press is informed that this as,
sistancs is not always forthcoming.
The principals have had to rely al
most entirely upon their own efforts
Ito secure information concerning con-
|taxious or infectious diseases. The
safefy OF the schools and Of the en-
tire city is endangered when child
goes to school from house in which
there is . patient suffering from
malady such As is commonly known
"A catching" Hence II Is essential
that the superintendent should have
| full information from the health de
partms n, concerning cases reported
II proper reports are not being made
to the department. the officers shout
take such steps As may be necessar,
to compel the physicians to do thei'
duty.
This matter Is one Of such vita
Iimpor,auce that Il ought not be ne
eesssry to bring II to the attention
OF the authorities.

SUBMARINES NO GOOD.
So Says Holland, the Inventor, De-
crying HIS own Wares.

So Says Holland, the Inventor, De-
crying HIS own Wares.
From the Nsvark Star.
John p. Holland, inventor OF the Hol-
land boat, declared 70 a Star representa-
tive that the submarine boats belonging
to the government, and for which millions
were disbursed, are absolutely useless.
and that any further expenditure for
these boats. as contemplated in the naval
appropriation BILL will be a criminal
waste Of the public money. The appro-
priacions," SAID Mr.. Holland, should go
70 the building of battle ships which con-
stitute the great unit OF naval power"
The inventor was asked IL only the
American built submarine was useless: II
the European type excelled.
BY no means said Mr. Holland: "the
submarines OF France. England. and Ger
many are of just as little practical use
in naval warfare as ours under the con-
ditions that exist to-day.
The original Holland boat. designed
and built by me. was intended for har-
Dor defense, and 20 operate against a
hostile fleet Beleaguering a port and an
chored outside within a few miles. Such
was the blockade Of Santiago Harbor by
SIMPSONS fleet in 1S9S. But we did not
then have the high-powered guns OF the
present day. Harbors are now protected
by ordnance carrying projectiles TO such
effective distances that the hostile ships
must keep twelve or fifteen miles OF aud
also keep constantly In motion Against
these ships submarine would have no
power"
