NEW WAY TO CATCH FLEAS.
Cat Discovers That Vacuum Cleaner
Affords Relief.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Through a dis
covery made by Buster" large Mall
tese cat. the flea population Of Murray
Hill, L. l.. is fast disappearing. Re-
Gently the animals owner added a
vacuum cleaner to the household equip
ment. After pumping the dust out of
her rugs she applied the nozzle playfully
to the cats Iur. At first Buster"
showed alarm, but, finding no damage
followed, he lay still while receiving a
thorough cleansing.
When the vacuum cleaner was brought
into use few days later Buster"
promptly ran to the nozzle, rubbing
against it and purring until his coat re-
ceived another going over. When the
dust bag was emptied several f1eas were
seen struggling amid the debris in the
ash can. 1t was observed that the cat
was less annoyed by his tiny enemies
than formerly, and 1t became evident
that he attributed his relief to the vac
uum cleaner.
News Of the new flea catcher spread
among other owners of pet animals, and
the nozzle of the weapon was turned on
many dogs and cats. At the end of the
onslaught the contents Of the dust bags
were burned. Hedges. which had begun
to show the effects of too much service
as back scratchers, are beginning to
thrive again, and the pet animals in the
Murray Hill section of Flushing expect
to pass the dog days very comfortably.

What Of Itf
Somebody ventures to criticise Crit
fifth because he permitted Lobert. Rowan,
Paskert and Beebe to get away and took
Bates, McQuillan. Moran and Grant in ex-
change.
1t was only last spring that the same
critics were certain Griffith had all the
better of the trade with Philadelphia.
They jeered Doom right and left because
he was foolish enough to permit Grant
and McQuillan to leave his team.
What brought about the trade? Lobert
was forced out of Cincinnati by adverse
criticism. He had become 80 downcast
that he didn't care whether he played in
Cincinnati or not. Paskert, brilliant
fielder and only an ordinary batter, had
been labeled the human CROUCH" and
perhaps of all the players whom Griffith
permitted to get away none was traded
with more reluctance.
What have the former Cincinnati ball
players done for Philadelphia more than
the one-time Philadelphia players have
done for Cincinnati? Rowan has tried to
eat himself blind since he has been q
Quaker, and has never been In much con-
clifton to pitch since the beginning Of the
season. Beebe is worthless as major
league pitcher. McQuillan and Moren are
no better for Cincinnati.

The Truth
About Coca Cola"

When the year began AltiZer was with
the Cincinnati club. Griffith took him on
from Minneapolis. figuring that he might
be useful to the team before the year was
over If there should be somebody In
jured.
Altizer was with Cincinnati until
few days ago. when he was sent back to
Minneapolis. He had not played ball up
to the National League standard.
On his way through the west Atizef
passed through Cincinnati.
Whats the matter with the Reds?"
said a newspaper writer of the city to
Altizer.
This was the answer:
IF all the players on the Cincinnati
team were as loyal and faithful to Crit
fifth as Griffith is to them the team would
occupy much higher position in the
race. don't know whether Griffith
would say that much for me. but I'll say
it for him.
There's many a one who has guessed
as much. The old story of Cincinnati is
repeating itself.
No Doubt Of It.
Possibly there never have been cliques
in the Cincinnati club. but there have
been players in the Cincinnati club who
have thought it worth while and mat
ter of policy to ridicule managers behind
their backs. The average base ball fan
may not see exactly where 1t could have
been a question of policy, but those who
know the peculiar situation which exists
in Cincinnati are aware Of the fact that
there always has existed an underground
railroad whereby any little grievances
against a manager could be quickly aired.
Some players have felt that it was pol
icy" to air them.
From what Altizer says there seem to
be players on the Cincinnati nine who
have not been doing as they should. They
are a little in the dark as to the golden
rule, and If there are such 1t Is only
