FULLY SMITH, of the Crackers,
X and George sStallings, manager
of the Boston Braves, gave a
correct imitation Friday afternoon OF
the King of France, or the Duke Of
York. or whoever it was that marched
an ambitious army up a hill and then
marched down again
That was on account Of the rain,
of course. The weather was what Mr.,
VonHerrmann calls unsettled
MessPs. Smith and Stallings called it
several things better than that--or
worse, whichever way, you want TO
look at 1t.
AS a matter Of fact, the practice
was pulled off in a gentle drizzle, and
when it set in to rain, the game was
called off.
WI, put in good bit of the time
w while the Braves were batting,
talking to J. Evers. If you were
given three guesses at what J. Evers
would be talking about, you would
you would be dead wrong.
mot one word about Murphy said
Johnny Evers, firmly. If | said any
thing at all about him, il would be
to thank him for doing me a good
turn. Murphy and | are strictly to
the passe, when it comes to furnish
Ing topics for conversation"
Mr.. EyERS now is just what he
lNI wants to be---a second baseman
without let or hindrance, and no man
agerial burden on his shoulders He
Is captain OF the Braves by recent
appointment, but Johnny is used to
that. He was captain of the Cubs
when they were a regular ball club,
and that burden is not going to bow
down Mr.. Evers to any appalling eX-
tent,
a SKED if he would start right in at
"A second when the season opened,
Johnny was quite positive.
'Tll start right in. and ~ continue,
too, unless something happens TO me.
I'm feeling better than l have for a
long while. We've got a good, lively
ball club, and we're going to make q
good race. or I'm a bum prophet
7 OHNNY showed world Of pep in
the practice. He and Rabbit Ma
ranville were working on one Of the
famous old Evers- Tinker tricks at
second base; the one designed to bust
up a double steal with man on
third and another on first.
They way they pull 1t, the catcher
pegs down toward second, low and
hard. Meanwhile skips across in front
of Evers, who IS covering the bag,
and bluffs at taking the throw and
pegging to third, to scare that runner
back. He let's the ball go right on 70
Evers, who presumably tags the run
ner out at second and leaves the
other guy weeping on third.
or sometimes Meanwhile covers
and Johnny does the blufing. II
works beautifully in practice, and
Johnny and Joe used to ruin the OPP
position with 1t in actual battle.

Birmingham and StaIIings to
Claim Shortstsp if Browns
Ever Ask for Waivers.
HES A GREAT PERFORMER"
That's What Boston Manager
Says After Watching Him
Play Game IN Macon.
BY w. S. Farnsworth.

~ NJ = ctA Aio " VI VIZ
TT is not a pleasant story to write.
but it has to be writ. so here
goes, between tears and sobs;
Rivington BisIand, the greatest
shortstop who ever wore spangles in
the Southern League, will not return
to the Crackers.
The st. Louis Browns may turn
him loose now that Roderick Wal
lace is passing through his second
childhood, but he Just amt never
going to get out of the Big Shows.
Joe Birmingham, genial and BUSH
ness-like manager Of the Maps, wont
waive.
And George Stallings, high muck
a-muek of the Boston Braves, wont
either.
BIRMINGHAM wouldn't have prob
~ ably cared a rap about Bisland or
any other shortstopper had not Ray
Chapman broken a leg during prac
tice game over in Athens.
But when the great little Nap in
fielder done busted down, then it was
that Birmingham made up his mind
that one Bizzy weuld fit in pretty
handy.
So Joseph made up his mind that
he would never waive on r. B. II
the Browns were ever foolish enough
to ask for waivers,
IRON Macon yesterday came George
Stallings We got to talking
about some of the stars in this-league
last season. Stock. Wares. Coveles-
kie. Chapman. Brown and other
names were mentioned. Finally
someone mentioned Bisland's name.
"There's a regular player" spoke
up the chief of the Braves. He work
ed at short against us in Macon
Thursday and he looked like a mill
lion dollars to me-"
I told Stallings that Bisland had
written friends here in Atlanta that
things weren't breaking right for him,
and that he feared he might be let
out. / told how Bizzy came like a
million dollars in gold the latter part
of the season, after getting off rather
slowly.
81 know all about that bird" was
Stallings' comment And IL they
ever ask waivers on him, you can
take it from me that III give him the
once over"
WOULDN'T Bisland look sweet
w over on that third base bag for
the Braves2
With Maranville at short, Evers at
second. and Schmidt at first, Bisland
would come about as near being an
other Jimmy Collins as you coulu
dream of.
DY the way, Stallings considers lit
- tie Rabbit Maranville the best
shortstop that ever shortstopped And
this is going some when you consider
that there have been such star men
playing this position as Long, Parent,
Elberfield, Hans Wagner. Barry,
Heinie Wagner, - Mcbride, Wallace,
Bridwell, Tinker, Doolan, Turner, etc

RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL MAY FAIL
Mr.. Treadway Doubts If 1t Will Get
Through the Senate; That Body
Objects to "Pork."

Washington, Dee, l9-No river and
harbor bill at this session of Congress
was the prediction made yesterday by
Representative A. Treadway of Massa.
chusetts, member of the rivers and
harbors committee which framed the bill.
"The bill, just reported" said Represen-
tative Treadway yesterday morning,
"will undoubtedly get through the House,
but | doubt if it goes through the Senate.
There is too much sentiment against
pork"
Mr.. Treadway is responsible for sew
eral drastic cuts in the bill as it has
come from the House committee. He
practically threatened the committee
that if certain economies were not eff
fected he would file minority report,
the first of its kind for years The final
form of the bill, however. was so much
OF an Improvement that Mr.. Treaiway
decided not to criticize it as a whole, but
reserved the right to speak against Ger
tain items, notably the appropriation tor
the Brazos river in Texas, apparently
one of those streams where the water
does not flow. The administration at.
titude on the bill is that it must be
pared to the core before the president
viii consent TO sign it. Last session the
White House would not make known rs
views on this big measure. Its change
in this respect does not augur well tor
the advocates OF fat pork barrel.

STATES IN REPORT
Inland Vessels Keep Up
the Typhoid
Rate

i Washington Dec. l9.--Pollution of the
Great Lakes and tributary rivers is be-
coming serious menace to health, ac'
cording to the annual report yesterday OF
Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the pub
lie health service. He points out that
about 100000 passengers are carried
each year over the Great Lakes and that
more than 300 vessels use these wa

! DIR. Blue declares, that those Inland yes
sells play an important role in tn main
/ tenance of the high typhoid fever rate in
/ the United States. 1t is recommended
| that water taken from the Great Lakes
be purified before used for drinking pur-
poses"
DR.. Blue details the work OF the medi-
cal officers under him for the year IN
Graduating plague, investigating tuber-
eulosis, and making special inquiries into
epidemics of typhoid fever and other dis
eases.
Public health officers who examined
conditions relative to the effect on per-
sons who come in contact with m.gra
tory consumptives found little reason to
believe that such contact has proved in
furious He points out again that in
vestigation by American officials does not
bear out the claims made by DR.. F. r.
Friedman for specific for tuberculosis.
Investigation of the Won Ruck treat
ment for the same disease, he states, Is
incomplete
Speaking of typhoid Dr. Blue says
that although its prevalence in this coun.
try is being gradually reduced and the
rate is not more than one-half what ii
was 80 years ago, it is still higher than
in some other advanced countries. The
urgent need at present is for rural sani
tation. Most American cities show an
appreciation OF the way to deal with ty
phoid
Study of the use Of drugs in this coun-
try where anti-narcotic legislation has
made statistics available, Or. Blue says,
leads TO the belief that the estimate Of
drug users has been high and that the
users Of morphine and opium in this |
country DO not number more than l4O.- |
600. while the number of cocaine users |
is probably Every much lower"
