Boston Braves. in the outfield. com-
pare with the Champion Athletics SO
surprise when the final figures ire
counted.
I started to dope the two outfields
with the sub-conscious idea that the
Athletics would be found so much the
stronger that it would be a joke and
to my establishment I learn that the
difference between them is amazingly
small $50 slight in fact that a little
luck in the play would make the Bos-
ton outfield to all intents and purposes
it's equal. -
Further. I discovered that the
Braves are doubly fortified; that they
have much more reserve strength in
outflelders. and that Stallings has at
his command more outf1eld strength
than Mack a muster. -.
This statement will create a howl.
1t myself-but a study of conditions
will prove it.
If we take the Boston Red sox out
feld-Speaker, Hooper and Lewis. as
a basis of figuring and calculate the
strength Of Murphy. Oldring and
Strnnk against them you have a SIM
pie proposition. If l say that Devore,
Whitfield and Moran are as good as
Murphy. Oldring and Strunk in all de-
partments then you laugh. That Is
what leads one to say, offhand that
the Athletics have the better outfeld
both in attack and defense than the
Braves possess.
But listen: Murphy. Oldring and
Strunk are the Athletics outfield with
Walsh to help out and some young
sters. You can safely figure that
Murphy. Oldring and Strunk will play
unless one breaks something. We
know their values absolutely in bat
ting, fielding, baserunning and throw
ing. Boston does not possess three
men as good. Admit that, for 1t is
true.

New Haven. Conn. Oct. 3.-The
early season performances of the
Yale varsity and the many members
of the squad encourage old Ell adj
herents to feel that the Blue team
this fall will show a decided advance

Yale is showing a remarkable clev-

to make many a gain with it this

Despite the promise the team IL
showing, Yale fans are not so sure
that Eli will down Harvard this fall.
1t Is beyond question that Yale has
hit a faster clip this season and that
they will go through their schedule
at. a more vigorous stride. Harvard,
however, is as strong II not a bit

Kill Mosquito, Too, While
Extern1inating the Fly

has been shown that on a single fy

bacteria or germs: enough TO cause
illness among scores Of people. These
are rot all disease germs, for there
are bacteria that are harmless, but
few typhoid germs from a GUS
pidor or from an expectoration on
the ground, or a small number OF
germs from the sewage soaked bank
of a stream. are enough to cause
fatal Illness.
The dirty habits of the fly should
he enough to disgust anyone and
make him a determined enemy OF
the pest. The f1y's liking for re-
pulsive things makes him a positive
source of danger.
These are two things that confront
the citizens of Washington, IL they
would pass through the summer
healthy and happy. The first is to
rid the city of all breeding places of
flies and mosquitoes. The second is
to kill the present crop of insects.
Do it now and save Inconvenience
and trouble later.
The Washington times., 1914-05-11

The fly has had another insect
added to its list of evil doers. It is
the mosquito, and the District
Health Department urges Washing
tonians not to overlook the malaria
carrying pest while trying to exter-
inmate the ny.
Stagnant water is the greatest
breeding place for mosquitoes. The
insects at this season of the year
begin to lay their eggs IN pools of
water. and tin cans. rain cutters of
houses, sewer traps, and other re-
ceptscles where water could lodge,
should he given attention at once.
The fly pest Is bad enough without
ones being irrttated by the bite of
the persistent mosquito or suffering
during the summer months with an
attack Of malaria. The way to pre-
vent both pests is to start the pro-
cess of elimination now and continue
il throughout the summer.

lines Position of Taft Ad-
miniStration on Issue.

sets forth the position Of himself and
If the Taft Administration on the
question of repeal Of free tolls. This
statement is expected to have consider
able weight in the Senate. where the re-
neal bill is under consideration. Mr..
Knox stands on grounds which are di-
-ectIv opposite to those occupied by

Mr. Knox opposed the British con-

Mr.. Knox says that in negotiations
under the Taft Administration Great
Britain complained that her rights un-
der the treaty would be violated II the
exemption were not limited to bona fide
~oastwise shipping. and if the tolls
we're not computed on the basis of all
shipping using the canal The United
States met both objections. and thus. in
the view of Mr.. Knox, disposed COM
pletely Of the British complaint.
Now. President Wilson proposes to &c
beyonC anything ever asked by Great
Britain. says Mr.. Knox. and to curtaiI
the rights flowing from sovereignty and
absolute ownership.
This will be a busy week in the Sen
ste in the canal tolls debate. Senator
Hoke Smith expects to speak tomorrow
He lines up with the Administration IN
favor of repeal. Senators Smoot. Gal
linger Oliver. and Ransdell will b.
among those to speak in opposition.
