Euphemisms For Death.

"Decease" is now a regular form OF
word for death. But 1t began as a
gentle euphemism. "decessus" idepar-
turel seeming much less harsh to the
Romans than "mors" All languages
abound in euphemisms of the kind,
which go back 10 superstitious re-
luctance to mention death plainly that
gradually passed into a kindly desire
to soften the idea. Passed away"

After the flood came the pestilence.
We have been very unfortunate in hav
ing smallpox in the city at two differ
ent periods this year. Two cases in
the spring were Immediately isolated,
and the spread of the same evaded, but
in October it had gained great Roadway
before being discovered, But under the
management of our new health officer
and the assistance Of the state board, il
was soon stamped out. but not until ~
cases had been reported The loss TO |
our merchants, schools and churches can
not be reckoned in dollars and cents, |
but the cost to the city treasury can. |
Ten years ago, we had two cases of the |
disease that cost the city Sll00; at |
that rate our experience this year would |
have cost as S26.950. No necessary ex

less than ten per cent. OF this sum has /

York
Before remade balls were looked up
on with scorn by players, small molds
were owned by many professionals
so that il was possible with a little
heat to remodel or remake a bah af-
ter IT had been cut or Knocked out

idea that he could make a golf bal
out OF soft soap and get a rise out
OF one of the bunch.
The ball was formed, allowed to
harden, painted. enameled and shell

Il was agreed TO allow Lou to tee

BOSTON. MASS. June 2s.-Fver
| since Joe Wood attracted attention to
himself by his splendid work, judges
/ of bail players have predicted a short
career for him, for the reason that
his style Of delivery is decidedly
wearing en- the pitching arm That
snappy elbow movement which Wood
employs it was predicted, would put
him out of the game much sooner
than would ordinarily be the case,
and this prediction seems to have
come true or Wood is finding it no
easy matter to get the stuff on the
bail that he formerly had
On the other hand it is predicted
that Johnson viii outlast all the pres
ent crop Of pitching stars for there is
not the slightest strain on his arm
when he works He has a free, easy
motion and gets the full benefit of his
entire body behind every delivery he
makes This saves his arm, and good
judges believe that because of this

Bonehead Playing
Spells Good Athletes

DENVER, June 2S.-The solid
ivory" seems to keep more players
from reaching great distinction on the
ball field than anything else. We
want no better example of this than
Ping" Bodie OF the White Sox. He
is one Of the greatest natural hitters
in the game, but he spoils 1t all by
constantly pulling "bonehead" plays.
It is because of this that Manager
Callahan has him warming the bench
two-thirds of the season. In a recent
game in New York Bodie was caught
twice fiat footed" With the slight
est use OF his think tank he would
have scored two runs instead of be-
ing put out twice
What thoughts can be fitting
through the domes of these players
when they are on the base lines
Bodie must be getting a glimpse Of
an aviation meet somewhere off in the
distant regions. Surely his mind is
miles away from the game in which
he is engaged.
Is It any wonder that players like
Ty Cobb, Wagner Eddie Collins
Johnny Evers, Larry Doyle, Iris
Speaker and others we could mention
are at the top of their profession?
Not bit of 1t. They use brains.

St. Louis Browns
Real ICOnOClaStS

XITHEN the st. Louis Browns
trimmed the Philadelphia
Athletics, to 2, and ended the
winning streak Of the Mackites,
which totalled fifteen successive
triumphs, another chapter was ad-
ded to the sensational feats in
breaking records which has feat
ured the American League for the
past several years.
Not first division team since
1908, still the Browns have COM
piled a peculiar record Of being
able to wreck records Of the enc
my, and stopping the athletics
brings to memory a few Of the in
cidents which have happened. Look
at this list:
In 1908 beat the Maps in the
game that prevented Cleveland
from winning the pennant and al
lowed the Tigers to win by half
game.
In 1910 took FIVE out of eight
games in a series from the Tigers
and put Detroit out Of the pennant
race.
In 1910 beat Southpaw Krause,
who had started with ten success
sive victories.
In 1912 beat Walter Johnson
when the star had won sixteen in
a row and was after Marquard's
record of nineteen.
In 1913 stopped the Maps after
they had won ten straight.
In 1913 scored on Walter john
son after he pitched fifty-six sue
cessive scoreless innings.
In 1913 beat the Athletics after
they won fifteen stright.
Not a team of record breakers
themselves, but a breaker of al
most all records, the Browns have
caused havoc and fear among
the teams who are in the way Of
becoming famous in the dope book
of baseball.

Dillon Claims 15S Pound Title
Would Give Klaus Return Match

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 2s-
Jack Dillon who by virtue of his
victory over Frank Klaus last
month contends he has cllnched not
only the American middleweight
championship, but the championship
OF the world, does not intend to rest
on his laurels even during the heated
summer months. While Dillon as
serts that his title to the middle
weight crown is clear, he says he will
not exercise the champions preroga-
tive and fight only once in six months.
Il fought my way TO the top" said
Dillon to-day, "and now that have
gained the championship I'm not go
ing to sit back like a dictator and
sidestep matches. Whenever the pub
lie demands Il will fight any man
Of my weight at any time, any place
and over any route That ought to be
fair enough. That's where / stand. I
never was very strong on this talk
stuff. My way of forcing recogni-
ton as a championship contender was
by lighting every one that was trot-
ted out for me. Now since / have
climbed to the top I'm not going to
change my policy"
AND Dillon has backed up this
"A statement by going right ahead
with a busy fighting program. He will
meet Bill McKinnon, the Eastern
middleweight, In a ten-round bout at
Indianapolis on July 3, and win take
on Jimmy Clabby at a later date.
These clever boys are just right for
Jack" asserts Sam Marburger, man
ager OF Dillon. Il see Clabby is
claiming the championship since he
