SHEEP FREEF FROM
CONTAGIOUS ILLS
C.. B. Stewart Believes Ailment
Is Not Real Zip and
Leg" Disease.

From observations which G. B. Stew
art, secretary of the Utah Wool Grow
ers' association. had with stocl0men in
the east, on the trip from which he has
lust returned, II is thought the ailment
among the sheep of the western states
is not as serious as was thought some
time ago. 1t is believed that many of
the supposed cases of the necro-bacil-
losis, or Clip and leg disease" is nothing
more than the common sore mouth.
Mr.. Stewart visited Chicago, after
leaving Omaha, where he went to look
after the shipment of some sheep from
the Stewart ranch here, and he heard
little about the sheep disease there.
Many of the sheep are being sent to
Chicago instead of Omaha.
Mr.. Stewart visited the national wool
storage warehouse at Chicago and found
that wool prices are good In the east.
He said matters look good for the wool
men this year.
He also heard much comment on the
fact that the mutton market seems to
be going down every year, and was told
in several quarters that the sheepmen
can do better by shipping as many
lambs to the east as possible, as the
people seem to want lamb instead of the
meat of the older sheep.
Contributions are still coming in to
the fund which is to be used to stamp
out the Zip and leg disease" in Utah
and steps will be taken to root out any
of the diseases which are found.
Dr. A. G. Young, state veterinarian,
will go north this week to look into
some supposed cases of CHAMBERS and
tuberculosis among animals which have
been reported TO him.

RUSIE, ONCE IDOL
OF FANS, NOW IN BAD WAY

Boise, Oct. 31.-Amos Rusie for many
years the mainstay of the New York
Giants in the pitchers box, and who for
years was known as the king of the
diamond is down and out.
Early Sunday morning Rusie was
picked up on the streets by the local po-
lice in a pitiable condition from the ef-
fects of drink. His behavior even in his
almost stupefied condition showed that ne
had once seen better days, and the Of
ficers at the city hall treated him with
more consideration than is the lot OF the
average drunk. He had no money and,
apparently, no friends to come to his
aid in misfortune. After a few hours
rest at the city hall Rusie was allowed
to depart.
Rusie in his prime was recognized as
one of the premier ball players Of the
United States and for years held the, ad-
miration of the crowds that followed the
National league games. Several years
ago he came to Idaho and took up 50
acres of land on what is now the Deer
Flat project. but the liquor habit which
he had formed in his PALMER days could
not be shaken off and he has apparently
gone from bad to worse.

OGDEN RACES OPEN WITH
FINE INAUGURAL CARD

Especial to The Herald-Republican.)


Ogden. Oct. SL-The ogden race meet
ing. the opening of which was postponed
from yesterday because of the intensely
disagreeable weather, will be inaugural
ed tomorrow under flattering auspices.
The weather indications are good, and
the track, after the work put on it by
Superintendent Horton, will be in Ialr
condition.
The card of races provided for the
opening is one of the best that has ever
been secured in Utah and holds out prom
Use of excellent sport A glance at the
list of entries will show that many OF
the best horses which raced at the recent
Buena Vista meeting have been enIisted
for the Ogden inaugural, and the fact
that the form of each is well known
to devotees of the sport In this section
will lend added interest to the racing:
The feature event Is a six-turlong dasn
for all ages, and its field is classy with
such good ones as Jack Paine, Anna May,
Balerian and other shifty ones, includ-
ing the good 2-year-olds La Dextra and
Rey Ell TOvaT, engaged, a sure enough
horse race may be expected from that
event. Frequent winners at the Otan
tracks are found In each of the six races,
making the card in it's entirety a strong
one.
The claim made right along by Man
ager Murray that he would have plenty
of good racing material for the ogden
meeting is seen to be true. 1t seems saIe
to say that there viii be no fewer than

''SP|TBALL" NO LONGER
DREADED BY BATSMEN
Chance of the Cubs Says He Won't
Have Splitter" on His
Team.

Chicago. Oct. Slit looks as II the spit
ball had seen it's best days. This deliv
cry, which has had a meteoric career, no
longer has the batters of the land tremb-
ling in their boots. The great pitchers
who have had such a tremendous sue
called, will probably have to look to an
other style If they want to keep in the
big leagues. 1t is on the decline.
Two of the greatest spit ball twirlers
in the land are Walsh ard Smith, of the
Chicago White Sox. They have been the
dread of the opposing batters for years.
But this is no longer the case. In the
recent city series between the Sox and
the Cubs the decreasing value of the spit
ter was demonstrated. Although the
Cubs are not accustomed to that kind
of a delivery in its most approved form,
they seemed to like it.
Against the kings of the splitter the
Cubs opposed Brown and overall, past
masters in the curve ball. And the curve
ball won the day.
Il wouldn't have a spit ball pitcher
on the team" says Manager Chance Of
the Cubs. This is not meant as any
reflection on Walsh or Smith, for they
are great pitchers. But when you have
pitcher you want to know where he is
going to throw the ball.
Take a spit ball pitcher. Even he
is not sure where the ball is going to
break. Sometimes, yes, frequently, he
tries to make it break on the right cor
her OF the plate' ana II goes 10 tIe OtiIet
side. Like as not the batter kills that
kind of a ball, and he slugs II over the
lot. Then, too, the pitcher is liable any
moment to let loose a wild pitch. It's
a hard ball to control.
81 want pitcher who is reasonably
sure where the ball is going. Moreover,
want my catchers to be as free from
danger of broken hands and fingers as
possible. When that spit ball comes
hurtling through the air the catcher must
grab it almost blindly. Look at the num-
Der of times Catcher Sullivan of the SOX
has been hurt. It's due to the spit ball.
l could cite many cases, and it's all due
to the unknown break of the spit bail !"

UTAH ELEVEN NOW AFTER
THANKSGIVING DAY GAME

The University of Utah football squad
has played three Of its season games ana
has onlv two more to play-one with the
Montana Agricultural College, on Nov. IL,
and the other with the Utah Agr1cul-
tural College, on Thanksgiving day. Since
the team only has the two games lett
for the season, and on account OF the
next game being two weeks distant the
team will not practice this afternoon, but
will spend the day in cleaning suits in
order that the men will be able TO crawl
While Utah has played two OF the
games which she thought would be the
hardest games of the season, practice
work will not be slackened. as much
harder game against the Agricultural col
lege is expected than when the teams
first met.

New York, Oct. 31.-R. L. Thomas,

His subsequent reinstatement is said
to have been directly due to the per-

slow, muddy or heavy. Always keep
record of impressions as TO individual ac-

This leaves the percentage OF winning
favOrites on fast tracks exclusively still
greater than the average of Al per cent.
Always get values from races OF the

necessarily IT is difficult TO apply the
figures of a heavy track race satisfac-
torily. A reasonable basis may be ar
rived at, however, by careful COMPARE
sons. Perhaps the best way is to use
fast track figures, and then use. your
knowledge of the mud-loving proclivities
OF each horse in grading the figures up
and down. This is certainly the best way
for sloppy track with good footing.
Jockeys Count.
When two or more horses figure close.
a knowledge of the comparative abilities
of the Jockeys riding will be useful and
quite necessary in speculative success
After all else is done, in order 70 apply
with any degree of success any system
of handicapping, one must have acquired
by study or observation of performance
a knowledge of the individual PECULIAR
ties of each horse; being calculated upon
otherwise, your work will be of no avail
Figures will not lie If you make them

The speed of tracks varies from year
to year, owing to new dressing or dlt-
ference in methods of working by super
intendents. Turf students should observe
these changes and make comparisons by
a number of consistent horses over the
same track the previous year and COM
pare with records the same horses are
