the Montgomery "cIaim" Farrell adds
in his letter that Connie Mack's draft
of Molly from Mobile was regular"
and that Mack had a right to turn
him over to New Orleans
As stated by The Advertiser a few
days ago Molly hunted UP Charlie
Frank as soon as he landed in New
Orleans from Panama. The big Dutch :
man offered Molly $3.50 a month which
offer was promptly turned down. Mol
ly then came straight back to Mont
gomery and has been here ever since.
He said yesterday that he would play
amateur ball or not play at all this
year before he signs a contract for
less than $225 month.
''You were mistaken when you said
in The Advertiser that ] wanted 5000,
for IL was $3.50 that ! asked for, though
/ will sign with anybody for 1925 II
/ can get out of the New Orleans deal"
Last year out of thirty games Molly
won twenty-three and lost seven ;
fourteen OF his games were shutoots
while he won thirteen straight games,
losing the fourteenth by a score of s
to o. In his thirty games seventy
two runs were made OF him, a frac-
tfon over two a game; 22S hits, about
seven a game; struck out 129 men, over
four a game; gave fifty-six bases on
balls, not two a game; made three
wild pitches and hit flve batters.
Pretty husky record that, and II

Molly is Montgomery boy who start
ed by playing ball on the local lots and
with semi-pro aggregations. With
Mobile in the Cotton States last year
he pitched such phenomenal ball that
Connie Mack drafted him. With Bert
Maxwell and his staff OF old pitchers
the manager of the Athletics had no
room for Molly and he was turned
over to Charles Frank IN New Orleans.
Molly has not been treated altogether

watch his case with peculiar inferesr,

The case OF Rufus Molly. now at
outs with the New Orleans club. is q
peculiar one. 1t is one that not only
brings up some pretty nice points but
one that is liable to make q precedent
in the annals OF organized baseball
The first mutiIation of the rules Of
organized baseball was when the Mo-
bile club, 1t Is said sent Nolly's COM
tract into Secretary Farreu of the Ma
tional Association at SIS a month when
the pitcher drew $125 month from
the Mobile club.
Then the other infraction OF the
rules was when at the end of the Cot-
ton States season the Montgomery club
through some sort of purchase
bought Molly, Thornton and McCays
This must have been a case OF cover up

terial, any barnyard litter is accepta-
BILE to flies. Refuse such garbage, <un-
disturbed for a while, becomes alive
with the larvae and sends forth
sWarms of flies. Even damp, dusty
boxes, practically empty, have bred
them.
1t is the adult fly that menaces hui
man life. It does not bite. It has no
piercing organ like the mosquito.
Press a f1y's head between the thumb
and finger, and the proboscis is thrust
out. It is a jointed organ that spreads
at the end into two ridged, hairy,
basket like halves that part in the
middle. Watch a fly as it eats The
rasping surface of the proboscis tips
lacerate the tissues of juicy fruits and
soft foods, and suction draws in. the
juice. Saliva moistens solid foods,
and the liquid is sucked up. This is
the only way a fly can eat them.
Naturally, sticky or semi-fuid sub
stances attract these insects. Rank
filth if it is not dry, is always swarm
ing with them. Meats call flies by their
odor. Sweets, liquid or dry, are easily
eaten, and are always covered with
flies, unless protected.

little children! Mortality among in
fants and small children runs high in
summer, and intestinal diseases are
the principal causes. If it were an of.
Tense against an ordinance, as it is
against public health, to sell candy,
fruit or any food that had not has pro-
lection from flies, the death rate would
be promptly and sta1tlingly lowered.
y 4 hear somebody saying, you can't
depend on what that man Beckwith
writes, for I've had fly bite me, and
I've got him and looked at his bill-as
sharp as mosquitoes it was
There is a gray fly, smaller a trifle
than the house fly, that bites cattle
and horses, and often, when rain
threatens, takes refuge under nearby
shelter. Thus flies enter houses. This
stable fly bites you. At night you
will find these and other species of
flies resting with heads pointing down
ward. The greater number on the
walls will be the common house fly
that invariably rests with head up
ward. Just take a look tonight. Get
the two kinds alongside and compare
their mouths. Now, will you believe
what I am telling you9
I would like to write a pleasant fly
story, but the essential facts about the
insects are unpleasant. Study the
photograph of a fly. Notice the hairy
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1908-09-12

The horror of the matter is that
flies range from foul sewage laden
with germs Of deadly intestinal dis
eases, like typhoid fever, to the fruit
stands, the market booths and every
where things we eat are, exposed to
dust and insects. They infest
houses, hotels, restaurants, hospitals
even, settling on food on the tables,
falling into the milk on pantry shelves
and drowning in the syrup Jug. These
occurrences are not confined to tene.
ments. Screens do not fully protect
the most careful housewife from the
fly nuisance. No human being escapes
exposure to contagious diseases. I
cringe every time l see fruit stand
in town What loathsome places have
those flies visited before they came to
taste these peaches and juicy berries
With what criminal indifference do
men and women eat these tainted
things, unwashed, and give them to

legs, the padded feet, the hairy feelers
and the proboscis, with it's basketlike,
corrugated and hairy surfaces. Can a
fly thus clothed keep clean? Whatev-
er he steps on sticks. And he steps by
preference only on things that are
moist or sticky. Odorous substances
are most attractive to him. Food and
filth are impartially sought. Can any
one who has eyes doubt this fact?
Every fly you catch on fly paper or
poison is one less to breed in your vi
entity. But the cleanest house is not
safe from invasion so long as there is
a fly waiting to come in. The best
screening is only a partial protection
The only cheerful thing about flies
is that there is no use in having them
at all. Some towns are no longer
screened. They have adequate sew
erage disposal. They take care of all
garbage. No stable refuse is allowed
to pile up. It is spread on the land,
where it is valuable Remove their
breeding places and flies disappear.
The war Of determination is easy and
practicable. It requires a little con.
scientious work and intelligent coop.
