the best thing is to get rid of the

ImpraCtiCabIe

William Johnson and William A.
Holt, committee representing the
Butchers Association, today stated
that they hae experimental with
cases such as are prescribed by the
proposed meat screening ordinance
pending in City Council, and that they
also have tried out the plan of screens
for their places Of business. but both
have proved impracticable When the
Board Of Health began the meat
screening agitation a year or so ago
many Of the progressive butchers
bought cases for their meats, and
others bought screen doors for the
entire front and the windows of their
places of business.
Those who tried the screens found
that the flies got into the place and
could not be driven out, even by the
current of the overhead fans, any
where near as we'll rs If there were no
screens. Those who bought glass
screens and kept meat inside with a
piece Of ice there, found that the tenn
perature was so varying that It affect
ed the meat and they soon discarded
the glass cases for which they paid
many dollars.
Some of them then had wire screens
made in which the meat was kept, but
these did not prove suitable, the
butchers said.
Mr. Johnson and Mr.. Holt pointed
out that all of the reputable butchers
want to preserve sanitary conditions
and seek TO keep their meat and their
places clean and wholesome. Those
who have their own stores. they said

OUGHT SECOND
RUN TO COUNT?

Many Of the baseball fans cannot
understand why York should have
been given two runs yesterday. The
second run credited to the team was
given when player crossed the plate
during double play that closed the
last inning. Some scorers gave
the run on the ground that II was
scored before the third man was put
out at first base.
A rule, however, seems TO pc
against allowing the run. Rule 81
says: 80 . Provided, however that
IL he reach home on or during a play
