NEWSPAPERS ARE APPRECIATED
Tribute Is Paid in the Bulletin of the
Texas Board of Health.

Austin, Texas, May 10.-The fol-

April bulletin of the Texas board Of
health received from the printer yes
terday;
The state board of health may be
permitted here to express apprecia-
ton of the intelligent efforts of the
press Of the state to inform their
readers as to matters affecting the
public health While the papers have
always been more or less active IN
the campaign for better health con
ditions, it seems that Of late they
have come to realize more fully the
tremendous Influence for good that
they can WELD During the past
month editorial after editorial, spec
ial article after special article, local
stories without number have appear
ed in the dailies and weeklies OF the
state looking to the improvement OF
sanitary conditions
This is as it should be, for, after
all, the battle is against ignorance
and the press exercises its proper
function when It determines to en-
tighten those who know little or
nothing of health matters. It lies
within the power of the papers to
arouse local pride in the good name
Of the cities in which they are pub
lished to outline the laws Of santa
tion and TO make local application
of these laws.
And the larger dailies have no
monopoly on this excellent work. The
press OF the smaller town is ham,
mering away effectively dealing with
matters Of lesser scope TO be sure
but of vast Importance. It is good TO
see the way local physicians are en-
tering into the spirit Of the campaign
for better health conditions. cooper

New York. Dec. 22.-Organized baseball
does not seem to be at all psrturbed over
the invasion of new York. Brooklyn,
Washington. and adjacent protected ter
ritOry by a new outlaw association to be
known as the United States League of
Professional Baseball Clubs. President
Tom Lynch, of the NATIONAL League, and
President Ed Barrow. of the International
League, are inclined to look upon the
move in the nature of a huge joke.
The magnatCs of Greater New York are
of the opinion that the latest move on
the part of the ''Outlaws' is but a dodge
to scare organized baseball into handing
over some peace money.
Tire United States League was organized
at very secret meeting in the Hotel
Imperial. William Abbott Whitman, Of
Reading, Pa. was elected president. sec
retary, and treasurer. He has been
dHbbling in baseball since 1899, and was
at one time president of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania circuit He is owner Of
the Reading CTri-StateD club. Another
meeting will be held here in two or three
weeks. Franchises have already been
awarded the cities of New York, Brook
Nn. Washington, Reading. and Richmond.
Va. 1t is purposed to select three more
clubs from among Baltimore. Cincinnati.
Pittsburg. Newark, and Buffalo. so the
promoters declare.
These promoters declare that they are
not antaSOnistic to organized baseball
and that they will not tamper with out
siders under contract. However they also
insist that they will not observe the re-
serve clause of contracts. which is re-
garded as the keynote of the game for
both major and minor leagues.
1t is claimed that a Wall street fnan-
cier is behind the third club for Greater
New York.

Chicago Y Dec. 22-Two American

By WILLIAM PEET.

Il see by the papers, said Clark Grif-
fifth, the Nationals boss, yesterday, that
Ty Cobb announces he will quit baseball
when he reaches his zenith.
That's a joke, and you can quote me
as saying so. I remember, back in 1894,
when Pop AnsOn was in the game, we
had an odd character named Josh Riley
on the club. One day Riley was asked
when he intended to quit baseball.
I'll quit when they come out on the
field and cut this uniform off me-nOt
minute BEFORE he said.
That's the way it will be with Ty
Cobb. He will retire from baseball when
somebody cuts off his uniform.
''I believe" added Griff, that Ty Cobb
is the best ball player in the world. He's
the best for the reason that he is heart
and soul in the game. 1t makes no dit-
ference whether or not he is in a slump
he's out there working his head off. If
he fails to get a hit, he usually makes
up for it by stealing two or three bases
DO you mean to tell m" a man like
Cobb will drop out of the game when he
reaches his zenith? I should say not! He
couldn't do it: not any more than ] could.
Cobb will play until he is all in and
hobbling around on one leg. Then he will
be managing some minor league club.
Just mark my words.
Il was also amused to read the other
day that Fred Clarke, of the PittsburS
Pirates. had bet twenty suits of clothes
with as many different persons that he
would not get into a single game next

Several changes have been made in
the collegiate basketball rules to stop
unnecessary roughness. The changes are
to make the players watch the ball in
stead of their opponents.
Personal fouls, which are illegal con
tact with an opponent, will carry a Den
atty of two free shots at the basket IN
stead of one. This rule Is to stop play
ers from committing a foul in prefer
enCe to letting the opposing team score
TWO points by a field goal.

to charge into an opponent who is closer
to the basket This gives the PLAYER

The umpire can impose fouls for rough
work by the players not handling the
ball
