PARIS, KENTUCKY, FRIDAY. JANUARY 49, 1914
URGES COOPERATION OF CITY
AND COUNTY OFFICERS.

While a number VI cases of small
pox exists in this city, 1t has not to
this time assumed proportion auffi-
cient to cause any alarm, but the
the prevalence of the disease has
prompted the officials of both the city
and county to take action to prtvent
the spread.
1t is reported upon good authority
that there are at present in Bourbon
county about thirty cases of small
pox, most of which are among the
construction camps in and around
Paris, and a few cases have developed
within the limits of the city. These,
however, have been isolated either in
private residences, or removed to tenn
porary houses maintained for eruptive
diseases
City Health Officer A. H. Keller, has
issued a warning to all those who
have not been vaccinated to comply
with the State law which makes vac.
cination compulsory, in an effort to
prevent the disease. Every effort is
being made along this line, the Health
Board acting in connection with the
Health Officer.
has taken the first step looking to
cooperation of the city and county
officials in an effort to stamp out the
disease. which it is said has been
communicated to several railroad
men, who have been engaged in work
ing near the construction camps
where the disease exists. County
Attorney Batterton has called the at
tention of Judge G. A. Mcmillan to
the existing conditions and has urged
the calling together of the city and
county health authorities o take i'm
mediate action.
81 am informed" said Mr.. Batter
ton yesterday, that there exists
about thirty cases of small pox in
expense being incurred daily by keep
the county and there is a, needless
ing guards over each patient quar-
tered in residences. 1t is my opinion
that there should be immediate &C.
ton on the part of the health author
tiles looking to the establishment of
a hospital for eruptive diseases and
also one for those who have been ex-
posed to the disease. This course
would be the best and it would take
only short time to stamp outthe dis
ease, and at a much less expense.
Besides the patients could receive
better treatment"
1t is probable that County Judge
Mcmillan will call the city and county
health authorities together and it is
be taken Immediately.

This Proves Johnny
Klbane's Claim to
Heavyweight Title

Mike Gibbons Knockout victory over
Bob McAllister opens queer line of
reasoning which is dependent for cor
roboration on freaks of the dope book.
According to this deceiving little PAM
phlet, Johnny Kilbane has a good right to
challenge Gunboat Smith for the heavy
weight championship of the country.
Here Is the line:
Battling Levinsky whipped enough
white hopes to make him look like the
second best bet for the United States
title.
Then came along Bob McAllister. who
outpointed him.
Following came Mike Gibbons, who
stopped McAllister.
Prior to this we note the following re-
suits, according to the guide: Clabby de-
feated Gibbons, Matty Baldwin defeated
Clabby, Abe Attell beat Matty Baldwin,
and Johnny Kilbane won the title from
Abe Attell.
Therefore Johnny Kilbane is better than
Battling Levinsky and deserves a whack
at the heavyweight crown.

MINOR LEAGUERS
WILL NOT SIGN UP
President Fultz. of Fraternity. Issues
Orders for Them to Hold Of
Until Further Notice.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Jan. 25.-As the result of a
disagreement between the National As
ISOLATION and the Baseball Players Fra
ternity all minor league players who are
members Of the fraternity have been
notified not to sign 1914 contracts until
further notice.
According to President David L. Fultz,
Of the fraternity, the formal notification
sent to members Of the organization af-
fected was made necessary because of
the refusal Of the National Association
authorities to accept the so-called Gin
cinnati agreement in its complete fern
and the clause in particular barring and
declaring void all agreements not appear
ing specifically IN the players contract
Such outside agreements which might
for instance, provide for a special bonus
under certain conditions were legislated
against at the Cincinnati meeting. A
fine of $500 is the penalty provided against
the club making such outside agreement,
and the player is Immediately and auto
matically released and becomes a free
agent when such agreement is proved
The National Association demanded that
the fraternity agree to a sliding scale
of fines, according to the class of club
affected, and a sixty-day suspension of
the player before he became a free agent.
Mail and telegraph correspondence has
been in progress for several days, but
neither organization would recede from
its stand.

Loomis is expected to continue the
good work he did last year, his per-

The absence of Country Morris

Line-upS Show That Germans

These are simply ball-playing qualities
in general, but of the quality that is es-
sentially an infielder's virtue they have
an unusually generous share. Precision
and the ability to make themselves part
OF a machine has been drilled into them
for years.
They are not warlike but rather a
military race. When Irishmen and the
fighting Orientals go out and SCRAP be-
cause they like il, the German fights

He has made war in a carefully organized

The cast of mind generated in Ger

its baseball place in the infield. The in
fed, to be great, must be a fighting
unit. Smoothness. precision and disci-
pline. the keynote of a German army, is
also the keynote of successful infieid.

Germans belong in the infield. The big
Teutonic invasion of baseball has pro-
duced German pitchers. German catch
ers- and German outfielders, but the
place where the subjects of the Kaiser
belong and have made the best showing
is in the infield.
For proof of this one does not have to

ner and Zimmerman. For reasons. the
cause is not far to seek. The infield, to
be successful. must be quick-thinkins.

Germans are a slow-thinking. slow-act-

ing the case. In actual fact, Germans are
clear. rapid thinkers. In action they are
not quite so rapid, but on the other hand
seldom hasty and always decisive. They
never fall victims of the indecision that

Former Manager Claims St. Louis
Club Had Youngsters Sign Regular
Instead of Probationary Contract.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 25.-George Sto-
vail makes the assertion that the st.
Louis American League Clubs youngsters
are tricked in signing their contracts.
The former manager explains the low
salaries paid and the failure of the club
to go forward in this way.
The new national agreement provides
that recruit from the minors shall first
sign probationary contracts for forty-live
days, calling for twenty-five per cent in
crease over the minor league salaries.
At the end of this time. il he is retained,
he signs a regular contract.
Stovall says that all but one of the St
Louis recruits last year signed regular
and not probationary contracts. When
they asked at the end of forty-five days
for regular contracts they were informed
that they had already signed them, so
only one recruit in the club got more than
twenty-five per cent more than his bush
salary.
