INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods of Prevention OF
Tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods of prevention OF
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent. of the public school
children of the United States, accord
ing to a bulletin of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit,
Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis. In three states and one territory
Michigan, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods of pre-
vention of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re.
quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia wall cards giving instruction
are hung in every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to
them

Clark Griffith, leader of the Reds, is
determined to make Bob Bescher, his
crack base-stealing outfielder, the Ty
Cobb of the National league, and to
this end is doing his best to make
Bescher bat left-handed.
Griffith sent Bescher batting de-
vice, which originated in the fertile
brain of "The Fox" with orders to
stand up and whale away from the
south side by the hour.
The device consists of regulation
league ball, sewed inside an extra
cover, to which stout rubber cords are
attached. One of the cords is fastened
to the ceiling and the other to the
floor, so that the ball swings about
waist high.
When struck the flexible cord per-
mits the ball to swing several yards,
and it returns with great speed. Then
it is time for the batter to get busy
with the club and soak the sphere
again 1t surely promises large things
for the batting eye.

nately he was coached to bat right
handed when kid. and has swung
from the far side of the plate ever
since. He is so fast that he would
beat out many an infield hit batting
left-handed, and he has the strength
in his left arm to do it, as soon as he
gets accustomed to the shift.
Griffith has ordered Bescher to bat
from the left side only with the new
machine, and says he is confident he
will have wonder in the youngster
when the season opens.
Griffith has let contract for a
pitchers target to be used by the Red
twirlers at Hot Springs. 1t is a sort
of shooting gallery with moving
swings in which two discs hang from
wires and are made to swing. The
pitcher takes his stand at the regu-
lation distance and tries to hit the
spot on the target.
An arrangement has been perfected
whereby the balls will roll back to
the pitchers. Griffith says he will
have a scorer watch the men and
make daily report showing the mum.

DID LANGFORD HOLD BACK?
Boston "Tar Baby" Seemed to Be
Under Wraps in Last Flynn
Fight.

An unexpected shock was given the
fistic dope students who like to bet
their dollars according to past per-
formances when Sam Langford, the
colored Boston terror, not only failed
to stop Jim Flynn in a ten-round con-
test on the coast the other night, but
was clearly worsted by the latter. In
a former meeting Langford dropped
Flynn for the full count in less than a
round, and naturally everybody sup
posed that he would have no trouble
in whipping the Denver man when
they crossed arms again. 1t is rumor-
ed that Langford fought according to
instructions and deliberately refrained
from doing his best in the second
round with Flynn, and there are many
who give full credence to the report.
This may be an injustice to the black
pugilist, but it is hard to understand
such complete reversal of form with
out being suspicious that all was not
as it should be. Langford has had an

years ago. 1t was his first game, and
he was sufficiently bad. l think he

off and said:
"'Where are you going?
"'To the hotel says he.

to stick, and the next day he didn't
show up at all, nor have I seen him
since"

new RULE BARS HOPPLES
ON HORSES AFTER 1915
GRADUAL ELIMINATION OF LEG
STRAPS TO BEGIN AT ONCE
GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Beginning with the racing season
of 1915 trotting and pacing horses
will not wear as much harness on
their legs as they do on their backs,
as by that time topples will have
been eliminated. Trainers will start
to work this year to get rid of the
unsightly tackle that is attached to
the legs of the harness racers, the
National Trotting association having
adopted this rule at its recent meet
ing in New York:
"Hopples shall not be used in races
or in performances against time on
two-year-olds or under, in 1910; on
three-year-olds or under, in 1911; on
four-year-olds or under, in 1912; on
five-year-olds or under, in 1913; on six
year-olds or under, in 1914; after
which time all hopples shall be
barred"
No action was taken by the associa-
ton on the request from the stewards
of the grand circuit that horses be
eligible to start on half mile tracks in
classes four seconds slower than on
mile track records. 1t was decided
that trotting associations in Ohio
might join either the National as
ISOLATION or the American association
as they desired.
In all purses five entries will be
required and two to start, unless 9th
erwise specified. 1t was also decided
that eff only one of the horses en-
tered for a purse shall appear on the
/ course he shall be entitled to his own
entrance money and to one-half of
the entrance money received from the
othr entries for said purse"
Representatives Of 3S1 tracks at
tended the meeting. President P. P.
Johnston of Lexington, KY, was re-
elected, and the association adjourned
until it's next biennial session in 1912.
The Harvester, owned by August
| Uhlein of Milwaukee, and driven by
the veteran reinsman, Ed Geers, will
| be sent against the worlds stallion
record next season. The mark is now
| held by Cresceus. The Harvester will
also be entered in the important
stakes on the Grand Circuit during

with Mr.. Uhlein for The Harvester's
campaign during the season.
James B. Haggin, for long time
the most extensive breeder of thor
oughbreds in this country, will race
considerable string of horses over
the tracks of the Jockey club this sea-
son.
Several years ago the orange and
blue silk of the Haggin establishment
were famous but in recent years
! Mr.. Haggin has turned his attention
more to the breeding and marketing
of horses than racing.
He will come back to the sport with
a string of dozen horses of his own
breeding that are at present in the
care of the veteran trainer, Charles
Littlefield, at Sheepshead Bay.

More errors will be made in baseball
this season. The rules committee,
without doing anything sensational in
the way of tinkering with the rules,
simply slammed the error column.
Wild pitches and passed balls will be
charged to the pitcher and catcher
as errors. Good-by clean fielding per-
centages to pitchers and good luck
for the summary man, as these plays
will be eliminated from the summary.
