ON QUESTION OF MANAGERS
Which Is More Capable, Bench or
PIaylng2-Largely Matter Of lndi-

The discussion as to the relative
merits of bench and playing mana

Hugh McBreen, treasurer of the Bos'

SHOWED OLD BALL LlVELIER
Boston People Experiment After
C'oubting Resiliency Of New
sprere-Test Causes Confusion.

There has been much controversy
among baseball players and baseball
fans this season regarding the ball
now In use in the major leagues, the
disputants lining up on the question
whether the ball now in use Is or Is
not livelier than the one used last sea-
son.
Many claim that the high batting
averages OF some OF the players at the
present time are due to the liyelier
ball, while others claim that they are
due to the ineffectiveness Of the pitch
ers and that the ball is no 'livelier
than the one used last season.
OF course, If the manufacturers Will
not settle the doubt it would be nec-
essary to subject the balls to scientific
tests and examination In order to
definitely determine the facts, and
even then balls which were supposed
to be Identical in make might show
difference in resiliency because 1t
probably is not possible that any two
of them are exactly alike.
Some tests were made the other day
with two balls, one of them Issued
for use In the American league late
last season. and one that was Issued
for the season of 1911. These were
dropped from a height of 10 feet sim.
ultaneously They struck a concrete
floor at as nearly the same instant as
they could be made to do so, and
they were photographed at the mo-
ment they had reached the extreme
height of the rebound.
1t was found that the ball Issued
for last season bounded higher than
the one issued for this season, the diff.
erence in height being clearly shown
in the photograph.
Several other tests were made and
invariably the 1910 ball proved to be
the livelier These tests with only
two balls are absolutely decisive OF
nothing as regards the general propo-
sition. but they show clearly enough
that the ball that was issued in 1910
was, in this particular case, livelier
than the one issued for 1911. Whether
series OF experiments more accur'
ately and scientifically made would
show the same or opposite results re-
mains to be seen.
The experiment made recently
would seem to confuse the problem
still further, for the players generally
say that the ball is llvelier this year
/ than it was last.

HEALTH OF STATE BEST IN
YEARS.

Health Commissioner Dixon re-
ported that the list of communicable
diseases for June was the lowest eX-
perienced throughout the State for
several years. The report showed
total of 1856, decrease of 5162 as
compared with May, and a decrease
of 1854 and 1882 compared with
June of 1910 and 1909 respectively.
The commissioner declares the
cooperation of the people of the
State in enforcing the laws largely
is responsible for the excellent show
ing.
Continuing. Mr.. Dixon said:
This decrease is even more remark
able than appears on its face from
the fact that reports for the present
year cover practically every city.
borough and township in the State,
while in previous years reports from
quite a few of the bOroughs and
townships were not reported, and
then again, intelligent, moral and
faithful physicians have awakened to
the necessity of cooperating with the
great move being made to prevent
sickness and death
The Government work notwith-
standing these great results is criti-
cised by those who have been punish

erning these sanitary conditions Of
our Commonwealth. Fortunately the
new Medical Bureau of Pennsylvania
can consider the moral character OF a
man before granting a license to
practice medicine and that same
bureau can revoke medical licenses
when the holders OF the same are
guilty of malpractice
The splendid health law formulat-
ed by Dr. Charles b. Penrose and
passed by the Legislature of 1905 is
beginning to show reduction in
the great total of communicable dis
eases. The special diseases showing
marked decrease are scarlet fever

NOT A "FULL-LENGTH" PAPA
Child Wanted Original Of Portrait That

An amusing incident is related OF
young service matron who had re-
linquished her husband for two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself ass.duously to the upbringing
of her 'two-year-old baby with view
to the childs familiarity with her dis

call the baby girl to her aud, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photo
graph, pointing out each feature to
the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old,
was summoned. Come, dear" said
the mother in glee, papa has come
home at last" The child surveyed
the officer in perplexity and finally
shook her head.
What is the matter, dear?" asked
her mother. We'll" replied the child,
