Walter JO11s0ns Plan to Hunt Fox With Albenarle Club Is
WHITE SOX TO
FINISH IN THE RUCK
Keener Of St. Louis Times Says caNahans Pets viii Have to
Go Strong to Finish Better Than Sixth
Place This Season.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 2I-A hitting
team entirely. and from outward ap-
pearance minus the famous ''insids
stuff" the Chicago white Sox will be
mighty lucky to come as high In lSls
as they did in 1912. Fourth was their
position last October.
Manager Callahan and Owner Comis-
key have raked practically every minor
league circuit in the country to gather
together winning combination for this
year. and those present In the family on
the Pacific coast now number thirty
seven.
The extensive and expensive training
trip, however, Is responsible for such a
large SQUAD. and 1t will not be long be-
fore Callahan starts swinging the az.
which undoubtedly will cut OF at least
a dozen before the season opens ana
probably half a dozen more after the
Gag is dropped.
Although the White Sox have many
experienced players and many that ap-
pear to be promising, there seems to be
something missing in their getup. What
1t 10 cannot be explained on the type
writer. In our. opinion that fault lies In
the absence Of real smart baseball.
Something Is Lacking.
1t Ia true that the White Sox came
fourth In 1872 but they were favored
by luck. On top Of this they started out
with a hurrah. when the rival pitchers
were out Of shape. and simply batted
their way to the top. They had a big
lead, still were cut down around June
ana only managed to compile q sos aver
age for the year.
The White Sox are a correct exam
pie of the weakness Of a hard-hittinx
club and that 1t takes something else
besides hitting to win the games. In
the pinch, too, when they are in a
slump and not hitting they fall to win
the close games with some smart play.
thereby using their head as much as
their feet
For 1913 Callahan has a big colIec-
ton Of athletes and probably will be
able to unearth a few talented kids
who viii displace the aged veterans.
OF course, there IL Ed Walsh. With
this famous splitter" the Sox must be
figured at all times. But Ed cannot
pitch every day. and Ed will not win
every time he goes to the hill. But for
Walsh, the Sox would not have much

There isn't enough speed to make the

Callahan, and Mattick come from the

Bodie. Collins and Mattick are the

They can hit, sometimes: field fairly

Unless the Sox hop out in front, as

acted law empowering South Orange

year term, and Mr.. Marshall for three
years. DIR. Arnold will receive the
same salary as heretofore, $500. This
is just double the amount which each
of the other members of the board
will receive, because of the fact that
he will act as clerk of the body. DR.
Arnold is also village collector of
taxes. Mr.. Marshall is in the insur-
ance business in New York, while
Mr.. johnson is a real estate broker.
The board will hold office hours in

ton, placing the four present paid
firemen in the civil service class and
empowering the hoard to maintain
and equip a salaried department. A
copy of the resolution was ordered
sent to each of the Essex county as
semblymen.
Because more than 400 votes were
cast in the first district at the last
general election the board created a
new district. making four in all. The
fourth district is all that part of the

WOMAN CANDIDATE
IS NOW OPPOSED
Mrs. Joseph D. Little Has to
Fight for Election to
School Board.

With last-minute candidate in the
field against her. Mrs. Joseph D.
Little will have the fight of her life
10 win a place on the Nutley School
Board at the election to be held to-
night.
There We're originally three canol.
dates on the ticket to fill three vacant
trusteeships. Naturally. Mrs. Little,
as one of those candidates, had d
first-class chance OF being elected.
Edward M. Cone, of Prospect street
is the latest candidate. With his
entry into the field there is an ele-
ment of doubt that will keep the
Women's Club members up late to-
night studying returns.
The election is to be held in the
auditorium of the Park school in
Franklin avenue. The fact that a
woman is running for the first time
lends so much interest to the event
that very large proportion of voters
are expected to turn out
Mrs Little is running on a single
ticket; William Longfelter is doing
likewise, and Almon G. Calkins and
Edward M. Cone are running to-
gether.
Along with the election for board
members the voters will decide on the
$26, 500 to be appropriated for school
purposes. This amount is $500 more
than last year. This, with the State
appropriation, will be 100000.

BOARD WINS POINT
OVER. TAXI AYERS
Assembly Passes Bill to Allow
Completion of Kearny
School.

The Kearny Board of Education has
won temporary victory, at least.
over the Citizens and Taxpayers AS
sociation of the First and Second
Wards. The House today passed the
Senate bill which will allow the board
to complete the Washington School,
over which there has been long dis
pute because it was built of concrete
instead of brick and because of al
legged collision in the letting of the
contract
There was no opposition to the bill
in the House. Whether the work of
completion of the building can be
begun now or not is questionable, for
not only is court decision being
awited to determine if it is legal to
let a contract for completion of a job
when a portion of the same has been
executed under a contract declared
illegal, but the Taxpayers Associa-
ton has planned to bring suit against
the American Concrete Company to
recover the $4,000 already spent
Both the School Board and the civic
association were represented at a
hearing recently given on the bill.
1t was believed by members of the
latter organization the bill would
never be passed. The school fight has
lasted for almost two years. The
suit to recover the money already
paid out is to begin this week, sac
cording to Samuel w Smith, one OF
the members of the association.

EXPOSES POISON
IN PURE FOOD"
Montelair Crusaders Expert
Demonstrates Injurious In
gradients in Foodstuffs.

In the pure food movement, which
has taken hold of Montclair resi-
dents. In an effort to make that
place pure food" town, David j..
Hickey, a chemist, of Westfeld,
Mass. gave a lecture and demonstra-
ton in Unity Church, Montclair last
night In his demonstrations Mr..
Hickey dyed Easter eggs with the
coloring matter taken from food
stutfs and cemented together two
pieces of wood with the glue which
he extracted from candies. From a
piece of ''licorice'' purchased in
Montclair he extracted the glue and
coloring matter, and when he got
through there was but slight trace
of real licorice in it, barely enough
to give it the name.
Mr.. Hickey declared that the price
has no relation to the purity of
candy. Il have seen candy" he
said, costing a dollar a pound that
was unfit to eat" He maintained,
however that the greatest menace
lies in the penny candy sold to the
school children. Long strips OF
llcorice candy is often made up
wholly of glue made to resemble
llcorice by the addition of SCOT and
lampblack
The vitality of a child" he said,
"is sadly taxed in the process OF
growing, and to add to 1t the extra
work, of fighting the cumulative
poisons of bad food is burden
which the healthiest of children
bend low under Only a very few of
our children are absolutely healthy,
and the effect of poor and improper
nourishment is shown only too vivid
~ in the bodies of children of to-
day"
He laid the crime Of food adutera-
ton to the avarice of the manufactur-
ers, declaring the desire to get rich at
the expense of the public health is
the corner stone upon which the EVIL
COLOSSUS of food fraud has been built.
He described the two main forms of
food adultera ton. THE one fraudu-
lent and the other injurious" he de-
clared. Fraudulent adulteration is
we'll illustrated in the addition of
cornstarch to pulverized sugar. The
starch is not injurious to health, as 1t
rapidly adjusts itself and digests, but
1t costs only a fraction as much as
sugar. Harmful adulteration he illus
trated in the bleaching of molasses
with sulphurous acid to make the
color more attractive. This acid, he
said. is a Virulent poison. 1t irritates
the mucous membrane, breaks down
the tissues of the kidneys and mate
rally decreases the red corpuscles in
the blood.
Mr.. Hickey was brought to Mont
clair to conduct these demonstrations
by the Essex County Echo, a local
newspaper, and the Montclair FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs, in an effort
TO improve the quality of food sold in
the mountain town.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hickey had
given a lecture and made demonstra-
tons in the assembly hall of the
Montclair High School for the benefit
of the pupils Today he will visit the
Cooperative store and the store Of
Charles M. Decker & Bros, where he
will examine the goods exposed for
sale. Tomorrow morning he will lee
ture at the State Normal School,
Montclair Heights, and will visit the
local Board of Health.
