SNEAK-THIEF
Frightened Away From A
West High Street Flat

A man, very probably a sneak-th thief.
was scared away from the Frank
Banning home on West High stNset
Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Banning was
in her room dressing for the afternoon
when she heard someone moving
about in another part of the fiat. Fin
ally she began to suspicion that some.
thing was wrong and investigated.
She found a stranger standing inside
one of the rooms and he Immediately
asked her whether or not the doctor
was in. This query was probably a
bluff" because wheE Mrs. Banning
hastened to the rear of theapartment
to call her son, the man made a
rapid getaway. Nothing was stolen.

GERMS FOR SCIENCE
Professors Bring Them Back as
South American CuriOSitieS.

altimore.-Haying bagged S0,000,-
100000 malignant germs in the wilds
of Ecuador and Peru. DIR. Andrew
Watson Sellards of Johns Hopkins uni
versity and his associates have landed
their prey in this country and forth
with will proceed to make a scientific
study of the creatures at short range.
His colleagues were Richard B.
Strong, DR.. e. E. Tyzzer and DR..
Charles Brues all Of Harvard univer-
sity, and Miss Nora Dwyer. Miss
Dwyer was a noncombatant and, it is
said, did not participate in the actual
warfare on the germs. She was the
secretary of the expedition and later
on was intrusted with the guarding of
the captives.
Among the SO,OO0,000000 germs are
pellagra, oroya fever, yellow fever, bu-
bonic plague, typhoid fever, collec-
tion known as uta, which is really
South American leprosy, and the
dreaded blackwater fever. The germs,
all carefully Grated, were admitted to
the United States as South American
curioslties" and were shipped to Har-
ward college.

Which Was Witnessed By
Over Three Thousand Fans
The Final Score Of 3 To 2
SHOW The Game Was Close

The big series was won by the
deciding game from the Eagles Sun
day afternoon by score of to 2 at
Hiawatha park. 1t was by far the best
and most closely contested battle OF
the five. The Moose won it in the
eighth when Horn weakened momen-
tarily and four clean hits were regis.
tered off his delivery.
Over 5000 persons saw the game.
Neither team seemed to have the
advantage until the eighth round. The
score was / to / until then and there
were indications of extra innings or
darkness when the Moose fusilade OF
hits came. The Eagles very nearly
tied it up in the ninth, but their rally
fell one short. Horn and Householder
pitched great ball and the only regret
in the minds of the impartial fans
is that both could not have won.
There were plenty of sensational fea
lures to keep the big crowd ON the
edge all of the time. Perhaps the most
exciting periods came in the eighth
and ninth. In the eighth the Moose
supporters seemed to go momentarily
insane when Popham drove one into
the mud over the bank of the lake. The
Eagle rooters had a chance to come
right back in the ninth when Patter-
son and Reil both got on with no one
down. Unfortunately for their cause,
however, Patterson was caught at the
plate by beautiful throw by Sulli-
van just before Richardson delivered
a drive that would have scored him
ahead of Reil and would have tied it
up.
Winters caught remarkable game
for the Eagles. Many times he dug the
ball out of the dirt without even mo-
mentary tumble with Moose runners
on the bases. His great support of
Horn in tight pinches saved runs on
several occasions. Horns pitching and
hitting were both worthy of praise. He
is credited with three hits out of four
times at bat.
The tail end of the Moose batting or
der did most of the stick work. Pop
hams home-run was the only hit de-
livered by any of the first four men
in order. Porter played great de-
fensive game, making one seemingly
impossible catch of Tanners liner in
the first inning. Sullivan made sever
al accurate throws from the out-field
that resulted in the cutting off of at
least one Eagle run.
The Eagles scored first in the Sec

The second and last Eagle run was
scored in the ninth. Patterson flied to

came too far in After a great effort
he managed to get back partially in
position, but could not hold onto the
leather. Patterson reached second.
Reil grounded to Popejoy who fielded
the ball cleanly but threw low to Mon

point the Eagle rooters got busy. Rich

tried to stretch his hit into double.
One run was scored by the Moose in
the third round. Mondron was safe
when Richardson threw badly to Reil
in an effort to catch him. He went to

The other two runs came in the
eighth. Popham led off with a home
run drive that did reach point more
than twenty feet above the ground at
any time during its fight. 1t was hit
so hard however, that Patterson could
not get in front of it and the ball con-
tinued it's bounding course to the lake.
Tiger rolled to Horn. Critchfield was
safe on Richardson's second error and
stole second. Porter hit safely over
short and Critchfield scored. Pope
Joy hit to left and Porter advanced to
second. Sullivan flied to Patterson.
Mondron singled and Porter was the
object of very close play at home
when the ball was returned to the
diamond. Umpire Creveling called him
safe but changed his decision when it
began to appear that the game would
not continue longer under the circum-
stances. The reversed decision retired
the side.

METHOD FOR CURING MEATS
Animals Should 30 Killed Early In
Morning, Allowing Carcass to
Hang All Day to Cool.
(By WILLIAM HART HARR1soN.)

(By WILLIAM HART HARR1sON)
AS butchering time is at hand and
since we have the reputation Of hay
ing the best hams in our neighbor-
hood. our methods may be of some
benefit to those interested in the
curing of this meat.
We always kill the hogs early in the
morning, allowing them to hang on
the pole all day SO as to get thorough
ly cooled, as more meat is spoiled by
being cut out and sailed before 1t Is
thoroughly cold to the bone than from
any other cause.
The day after killing. also early In
the morning, cut out and salt up.
say early, that the women folk may
have the best portion of the day for
securing the lard, as 1t is quite a job
for them when farmer kills eight
or ten fine hogs.
Before sailing, sprinkle saltpeter on
the hams and shoulders, then rub in
the salt thoroughly, cover with 1t and
pack the meat in a box. Let 1t stay
in this condition for from six to eight
weeks. according to the size Of the
meat, when it should be taken out.
washed, hung up and smoked.
Wash nicely in a tub Of hot water,
using rough rag to take off all the
old salt and mold. When the water
becomes too greasy, throw it out and
put in clean.
AS soon as the piece is washed the
helper stands ready to take it, sprink-
ling lightly with borax. which keeps
it from getting 'skippery." Then it
is covered with all the black pepper
that will stick, when it Is hung up
ready for smoking
Always allow it to drip a day or
two. Try and smoke it before the
weather gets too warm, as it is likely
to get over.heated If hung anywhere
near the fire.
Never use pine wood in smoking
meat. Many use green hickory, but
always use wet, rotten oak wood. This
smokes freely and does not burn rap
idly nor make hot fire, and I con-
slider it best for the purpose.

aurochs or the bison by so much word. As
the authors Of these classics were great sports
men and close observers, this would support the
theory that both these animals had already then
become quite extinct in western Europe.
In the sixteenth century. when Europe. 30 far
as art was concerned. had at last been aroused
from its medieval stupor by the invention OF
printing, and an extraordinary demand had
sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating re.
cent exploration Of new worlds and the various
forms of the chase there were produced quite q
number OF pictures Of the aurochs by artists.
very few Of whom had ever set eyes upon live
wild specimen. though they may have seen cap
tive ones The one artist of whom we positively
know that he had before him at least stuffed
specimen was the Viennese engraver Augustin
Hirschvogel (born in Nurnberg about 1909, who
illustrated the famous travel book of Baron Her
bernstein, the authority most frequently quoted In
connection with the aurochs, for he was absolute
ly the last intelligent observer who saw the beast
in its wild state and left pictorial records of his
Impressions Herberstein was gifted with pres
cent eyes, for he foresaw that the aurochs was
doomed to steedy extinction. Hence his
eral expeditions to the unknown interior Of Rus
STA as the ambassador, first Of Emperor Maxi
milan in 1868 then on many different
sions as Charles VS. and Ferdinand's emissary
he made notes about 1t, and, what was much more
important actually brought back with him
skins and skulls. which he had mounted in his
house in Vienna. and from which Hirschvogel
probably drew his celebrated picture Of the
picture Of bison. As these two portraits"
which have been published scores Of times, will
be familiar to all interested in this matter, we
will merely quote the inscriptions placed by Her
bernstein the two pictures. for it is per-
fectly correct differentiation. The picture Of the
bison has the following: II Bison,
called by the Poles Suber. by the Germans a
Bisont Damthier and by the ignorant
aurochs." Over the woodcut of the aurochs: Il
am an Urus which Is called by the Poles Tur,
by the Germans an Aurochs and until by
the ignorant Bison" The inscriptions in the
various editions-Herbersten volume appeared
in several anguages-vary trifingly, but the

give the sense in the best form
Shortly after Herberstein the Flemish painter
Stradanus who lived and worked for fifty
years in Florence (from 1853 to 1605), produced
drawing Of aurochs engaged In terrific
struggle In an arena where he was matched
against lion. two wolves and bear This
original drawing is not the least interesting Of
the twenty odd ancient pictures of the aurochs
in the writer's collection. In 1873 the Antwerp
publisher Philip Gale published this and one
hundred and three other sporting drawings by
the Florentine master, and underneath each OF
the engravings there is Latin inscription. The
one under the plate reproducing the drawing
