Tinker's swat was clouded by the fu-
silade Of hits off Donovan that succeeded
once the ice was broken.
There are some strange superstitions in
base ball. One In connection with Bakers
bat may be interesting enough to bear
watching. Both Simmons and Bush de-
clare there is a hoodoo in Bakers stick
that will get fellow sooner or later.
The first time In his life that Simmons
fell from the 800 hitting class was when

GOOD MEASURE
BY
CITY COUNCIL
BOARD OF HEALTH RECOMMEND
ED ORDINANCE ARoLIsHING
PUBLIC DRINKING CUP, BUT 1T
WENT TO THE COUNCIL NEVER
TO BE HEARD FROM.

Relative to the campaign now on to
free Pensacola from diseases which
may be prevented by destroying the
breeding places of flies and mosquitoes
and aboltshing the public. drinking cup,
DR.. j. Whiting Harg1s said to a rep
resentative Of The Journal yesterday
afternoon that six or seven months
ago he brought up at a meeting of the
board of health the question Of abol-
fshtng in Pensacola the public drink
ing cup. The board of health endorsed
the plan and he had prepared an or
dinance thoroughly covering the ques-
ton.
He says its failure of passage was
due principally to the efforts of one
member of the council. who managed
to pigeonhole IT, or through some
other means stdetrack it.
DR.. Harg1s says the public drinking
cup is a menace to public health: that
loathsome diseases are readily trans
mttted from one person to the other
by the use of the drinking cup. The
ordinance he prepared covered the
situation in every particular, he thinks,
and while there may be some objection
to the heavy penalty of breaking the
law, the ordinance providing 500. DIR.
Hargis says he thinks that little
enough in view of the fact that break
ing the law would show an utter dis
regard for public health.
Il wanted Pensacola to be the first
city in Florida to make this precau-
ton against the spread of disease" Dr.
Hargis said, but it is not too late to
do now what we should have done
months ago" The evil may be cor
rected, he thinks, if the public is in
formed thoroughly as to the danger
which surrounds the use of a public
drinking cup, and that public senti-
ment can make the councilmen act.
Use of Screens.
A like bill, or rather one intended
to prevent the spread of disease, met
a like fate in some department of the
council, according to a statement of
member of the Health League now
working to make Pensacola free from
diseases which can be spread by flies,
mosquitoes and the public drinking
cup. 1t was the ordinance introduced
last June which, If passed. would have
compelled fruit dealers, grocerymen
and vegetable dealers to screen their
supplies to keep from them flies and
insects which might deposit disease
germs in them to be eaten by the pub
lie
This ordinance will probably he
resurrected or a new one proposed by
the official Of the Health League who
are now beginning a campaign which
will not let up until the end is accom-
plished.
