St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-01-25

Armas Durio, of Opelousas,
representing the Metz & Weiss
oil engine, was here Monday in
consultation with Mayor Hunter
and the Board of Aldermen rela-
tive to installing one of his ma
chimes at the power house here.
The engine is guaranteed to de-
velop ample power and keep the
plant in operation sixteen hours
a day with three and one-half
barrels of fuel oil. The city Of
Opelousas recently installed one
of these engines, and the author
tiles there seem highly pleased
with the change and saving eff
fected thereby. Mr. Durio's
proposal here found a responsive
chord with Mayor Hunter. and ii
is possible he will install one at
this place shortly. -Rayne Trib-

BIRTH REGISTRATION.

The newly created Children's
Bureau, in the Department Of
Commerce and Labor, Of which
Miss Julia G. Lathrop is chief,
has just issued its first mono-
graph-a plea for the complete
registration of all births. The
pamphlet points out that not d
single State in the Union has
thoroughly effective registration
systems, and that in 1910 the
New England States, Michigan
and Pennsylvania, were the only.
States where laws were suffici-
entity well enforced to register
nine births out Of ten, and nine
out of ten is poor registration.
The Children's Bureau finds
that this absence of good laws,
well enforced, is hampering the
work for the study and preyen-
ton of infant morality. This
country, according to the best
estimates available, is now losing
300, 900 babies a year, and ex-
perience has demonstrated that
at least half Of these lives could
be saved if the simple methods
already known to science could
be brought to bear. But to ap-
ply these methods two things are
necessary-good vital statistics
and an immediate report of every
birth.
Good vital statistics are needed
to enable those working for pub
lie health to detect bad condi-
tons and select the proper social
remedy for them. Immediate
notification is necessary so that
the Individual baby born under
adverse conditions may be sent
the assistance which can be SO
readily given by health authori-
ties, visiting nurses, and ether
social agencies. Sir Arthus
NeWsholme, the great English
authority, has said that no one
has done more to re.
duce infant mortality in England
than their law requiring imnaedi-
ate notification. Good vital sta
and immediate notification
can only be secured through
registration.
Numerous other ways in which
birth registration will prove Of
value to the children of the coun-
Try are emphasized. 1t will as
sist in the enforcement of child
abor laws, giving the State an
record Of the age Of its
children. It will furnish the
an official record Of his age
md parentage, which will secure
lin the protection which the
avs of his State endeavor to
throw around his childhood. An
record of birth and par
,ntage is, moreover, frequently
if service in legal matters and
everyday private affairs, not
MY in childhood but throughout
ifa.
The phamplet contains, as an
appendix, a. copy of a model law
or birth registration which is
endorsed by the principal agep-
les working for public health

:: Baseball Storiettes =:

Losing a lot of ball games is
tough remarked Fred Clarke
the other evening. at reminds
me of one OF our real rocky per-
iods with the old Louisville club.
Honus was with us then and he
can probably remember the time
when we returned home from a
trip on which we lost 10 out Of 81
games. Oh, yes, there was a band
at the station to meet us. That
band played the wedrdest dirges
and the most. discordant music
you ever heard. They had hearse
there for US and the street was
lined with carriages for the fans.
One or two of the players got very
sore over the thing, but I deter
mined to go through with 1t. We
all piled into their hearse and we
gave them a good time Of 1t any,
how. They paraded all over town
with US and after they had en-
joyed themselves to the limit, they
warmed up to us again. 1t cured
the fans of their grouches and
they pulled for us all the harder.
We had other bad trips after that
but they never worked the old
hearse gag again"

ELIMINATION BOUT
OCCURS SATURDAY

Especial Dispatch to the Times.)
VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. %.
Ray Campbell of Seattle, and
Eddie Moy of Allentown, Pa, will
battl,y between themselves for the
privilege of meeting Worlds
Champion Willie Richie in the
Brighouse arena, Vancouver, La
Dor day afternoon. Moy and
Campbell have been matched to
go ten rounds on the afternoon
of Saturday, August %, and the
winner will he automatically
matched to meet Richie on La
Dor day. 49,
Moy was first signed for tho
match with Richie, but 80 many
of the local boxing fans favored
Campbell, whose recent fifteen
round battle with Freddy Welsh
created a profound local impress
sion, that Manager Chef McIn-
tyre finally decided to give the
Seattle boxer a chance. So the
elimination bout was staged for
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-08-22

Chief Johnson's bunt in the
sixth was the occasion for posi-
lively the richest thing ever pull
ed at the local park, says Gin
cinnati account of a recent game
there. Chief is one of the most
earnest workers in the business
and is constantly striving to im-
prove himself in all departments
of his profession. He realizes
that his greatest weakness is a
slowness in fielding bunts and the
fact preys on his mind greatly. He
practices this stunt constantly, al
ways urged on by Tinker. So
when the Chief laid down a per-
feet bunt in this frame the sight
of the ball rolling tantalizingly
along the ground before the plate,
made him forget that he was at
bat and not in the box and remem-
boring only his anxiety in the past
to get the pesky things to first
ahead of the runner, the big In
jun actually ran out of the bat
ter's box after the ball and al
most bounced upon it himself!
He went a third of the way to the
pitchers box before he realized
what was coming off, and then
hustled toward first. It made no
difference as he would have been
thrown out anyway and the sac
rifice had been accomplished, but
surely, the picture of batter try
ing to field his own bunt should
take precedence over even the feat
or Jim Wigs spiaing himself in
| the hand
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-08-22

Saturday of this week and pop
ular prices will prevail.
The last arrangement was COM
pleted when Richie, through
Manager Harry Foley, signed arti-
cles to meet the winner Labor
day. If Richie comes through
the Labor day battle still holding
his title, he will meet Freddy
Welsh in the same arena on Sat-
urday, September 20, for the
worlds lightweight title.
Moy and Campbell will weigh
in at 1875 pounds at ringside for
their elimination bout. Both
were In training when matched.

LITTLE BROTHER OF HONDS
! PROVES 4 STUMBLING BLOCK
DESPITE THE CRAFT Of KRAFT

SPOKANE, Aug. 22-Too much
Wagner.
This has not been an infrequont
complaint in the National league
for years, but only recently has
IL become in vogue In this circuit.
Joe, not Hans, Wagner is the
party to blame for It all.
Joseph superseded the sunstruck
Papa in the starboard lot yes
terday and Immediately proceeded
to do things detrimental to the
Bengals. Old Sol glared. 1t is
true, but Joe outshone the sun.
In the opening frame he clout-
ed the pill for q threeply blow,
counting McCarl, and a little later
came across himself. Again in
the eighth he was right ON deck
with the lumber. Bedford, who
had gone in after Kraft was taken
out, had two under the sod when
Wuffli lived on Keller's miscue.
Butch tried to slip a strike over
on Wagner when he wasn't look
ing, but Crisp was not paying at
Itention himself and the agate
rolled to the scribe coop. Wuffli
pulling up on third. Then Mr..
Wagner BANNED hwat, bringing
in Little Johnny.
The Tigers CLEANED their only
run in the fourth period. After
Fries had lived, Holderman killed
him off at second. Then Cy
Neighbors cracked a hot one to
center that bounded over the pate
of Manager Mike and went for
three pillows. 1t was nearly a
circuit trip.
In the seventh the Bengals had
a good chance but the omnipres-
emit Wagner spilled the beans
again. After Shutting Phil Doug
lass had passed licensed joys to a
couple of men Crisp crashed tef-
rife drive to deep right center.
1t was labelled three bags, but
Wagner, going at his best speed,
nailed the drive and retired the
side.
Dave Kraft pitched his first
game in a Bengal uniform, and
was found for but four swats, the
fifth being made off Belford.
Douglass, the human geyser, was
very effective himself however, al
lowing but trio of raps and
breeZing eleven.
