Athletics Hard For Red Sox.
One of the hardest teams for us
to beat will be the Athletics. Mack's
team had a bad year last season,
but the way the club got together
down in Cuba shows that the stuff
is there.
1T must have been a blow to
those players to see our boys in
Boston sharing the rich results of
the worlds series, and l think they
viii work very hard to get back the
honors which we took away from
them.
Connie has great ball club in
every department. 1t is a smuggling
outfit, liable to break up a game in
any inning. l think the Athletic
pitching staff will be much stronger
next year. Mack has picked up a
fine young outfielder in Eddie Muir
ply, whom he got from Baltimore.
and he will fit in very well.
This is a club that is always to
be reckoned with, and l believe the
Athletics will be keyed up to a high
pitch of efficiency
The Washington club will also be
a factor in the race, am sure. 1t
depends a great deal on the pitch
ing staff. l selected all the men on
this club with the exception OF
Gandil, who joined them in the
middle Of last season.
THE rest of the club is what | left
at Washington when | came to
Boston, so I know about what the
players can do. OF course. there is
little to be said about Walter John
son, except that he is the greatest
pitcher in the country.
when he steps into the box a
victory is right in the grasp of his
team, If they can hit the opposing
pitcher at all
"A couple of runs will win for
Walter day after day. He has no
off days, and his control is perfect.

johnson Greatest Pitcher.
johnson is an impressive sight
while operating on the mound. and
no other pitcher can touch him, in
my judgment.
johnson will always do more
than his share of work, being one of
the most willing fellows in the
business. He is q tremendous as
set to any club and would keep any
good team in the running almost
by himself

THE real reason why Garry Herr

that he preferred Chance to Tinker

his league suffered by it,
As long ago as last summer, be-

Educating the Public on Health Lines

value of popular lectures is indirect,
as we'll as direct. Interest has been
stimulated by prizes for the best es-
says written on public health sub
jects, as in North Carolina The
committee officers have helped to Sc
cure medical inspection in schools in
several localities; have promoted the
opening Of more Fairgrounds. as in
Dubuque; have selected travelling
"citizens, sheaf Of books on the pre-
vention of disease; have compiled and
published comprehensive list OF
books on personal hygiene in all its
phases; have secured better ventila-
ton of street cars in certain cities;
have been granted the appointment OF
a health day" by the governor of
state to be observed annually as In
Georgia; have established courses OF
lectures in connection with clinics,
as at the Woman's Clinic in Washing
ton, d. c., and have made education
So popular that one woman asked for
a book on it to take home to read to
ner husband in the evening, and one
little girl of five years ranged her
playmates in row and lectured to
them on health.
In states which have been visited
with special epidemics during the
year instruction has been given to
the public in the prevention and quar-
antine Of the disease. In many states
the newspapers are being used as q
medium of communication and distri-
button of accurate information. In
other places the county committee
for public health education, working
with the librarian in the public IL
brary, reviews all the popular books
on hygiene on the library shelves,
RELOCATING to the back shelves those
which are sentimental or out Of date,
and publishing for the benefit OF the
public lists which are authoritative.
The efforts in each community are
to teach the people how to prevent
those diseases which are preventable,
bearing in mind always that it Is the
individual that it is necessary to reach,
as communities cannot be educated
en- masse.

on public health education. DR.. Nor

Public in Personal Hygiene
According to the latest and most
complete statistics the average ILL.,

The plan of organization OF the

the formation, under the association,
in the county medical societies
throughout the United States of com
mittees on public health education, OF
which the New York committee may
be taken as type. A series of twelve
lectures has been given TO men. wo-
men and children of all classes of so
ciety. The wide public interest which
has been shown in the presentation
of plain facts regarding health is
shown by the fact that the
seating capacity of the hall is 375
persons, and on every occasion the
adjoining rows had to be thrown
open, and frequently there had not
been standing room, the average at
tendance being 500. One evening the
number reached 1000, and 1t was
necessary to have the overflow meet
