NEGRO BASEBALL TOURNEY TO
BE HELD IN KANSAS CITY.

The management of the Negro base
ball tournament announces that all
teams for the big baseball carnival
TO be pulled off at Association Park
Sunday, September . and 6, which
includes Labor day, have signed up
and are getting their players whipped
into fine condition for the final bat.
ties.
Word from lola, Kas., where the fast
Go Devils make their home, is to the
effect they are coming with the in
tention of winning the bacon. Brooks
Lane, the manager of the lola club,
is securing southern Kansas and
northern Oklahoma for talent and
says he wants to win so he can make
the trip to Chicago for the final Ne
gro world series.
Bud Phillips, who handles the reins
of the fast st. Joseph Giants, is leav-
ing nothing undone to bring a fast
bunch to represent the upriver town.
Mr.. Phillips is arranging to bring
along a large number of St. Joseph
fans. A special a on the electric
line will be chartered.
The Atchison Nationals say they
will be the big surprise of the series.
1t has been whispered about that Big
John Donaldson, with the All Nations,
is the dark horse.
Every Colored fan of both Kansas
City, Kas., and Kansas City, Mo, know
what to expect OF the Topeka Giants,
as their manager, Jack Johnson, al
ways has a good bunch.
The Lexington Tigers, managed by
Speed Boy Lindsay, will not be
overlooked. The Tigers know what
it means to get to make that Chicago
trip this fall.
The Royal Americans and Kansas
City, Kas., Giants, are hustling to
strengthen their teams. Several Texas
leaguers have been added to their
ranks during the past few days, and
in all, the tournament looks like the
real thing for the Colored fans-some-
thing new and something to stimulate
interest and at the same time develop
professional Colored ball players.
If the people turn out to this high
grade semi-pro ball, there is no doubt
but what the Kansas City Colored
folk will see a brand of league ball in
Kansas City before many moons. Elk
~cursions will be run from lola, Tope-
ka, st. Joseph and Lexington, Mo.

CARE OF THE BABY IN SUMMER.
Minor Ailments,

CARE OF THE BABY IN SUMNER.
Minor Ailments.
A baby may be made uncomfortable
and restless by various causes which
are readily removed. Attention has
already been called to the fact that
babies and young children frequently
suffer from thirst. They should be of
fered a drink of water several times
a day, and particularly in hot weather.
When a baby cries in the night, a
drink will often quiet him, and send
him to sleep.
Irritating clothing is at times re-
sponsible for the baby's fretfulness.
strings are quite enough to spoil his
comfort, even if he is well, and, in
hot weather especially, a s~uperabund-
ance of clothing is frequently respon-
sible for much real suffering.
Dress the baby in the lightest cot
ton garments and keep him as cool as
possible. Do not be afraid to let him
have nothing on but his diaper and
one other thin garment on the very
hot days.
Prickiy Heat.
One of the troubles from which a
baby often suffers in summer is prick
ly heat. This ailment appears as a
fine red rash usually On the neck and
shoulders and gradually spreads to
the head, face and arms. 1t is caused
by ~overheating, due either to the hot
weather or to the fact that the baby
is too warmly dressed. The rash
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1915-09-04

comes and goes with the heat, and
causes intense itching. The remedy
for it is to take off all the clothing
and give the baby a sponge bath in
tepid water in which common baking
soda has been dissolved. Use l ia
blespoonful of soda to two quarts OF
water. Use no soap. and do not rub
the skin, but pat it dry with a soft
towel. After the skin is thoroughly
dry, dust the inlamed surfaces with
a plain talcum powder.
This ailment. like all others, is
more readily prevented than cured.
Frequent cool baths, very little cloth
ing. simple food and living in cool
rooms, or in the open air will prob
ably ave the summer baby from
much of the annoyance of prickly
heat and other more serious ills.
Chatting.
Fat babies are very apt to suffer
from chafink, especially in hot wealth
er. 1t appears as a redness of the
skin in the buttocks or in the armpits,
or wherever two skin surfaces persist
emily rub together.
Much the same treatment is re-
quired as in prickly heat. Never use
soap on an infamed skin. Instead
use a soda, bran or starch bath. Di-
rections for these baths are given in
a publication called Infant Care, which
may be had. free of charge, by ad-
dressing a request to the Chief of the
Children's Bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor, Washington, d. C.

In his address to the Supreme Lodge
Of Knights of Pythias Governor Willis
declared that his state would never
be Alabamized or Mississippized but
would forever remain free ground for
all races. This is the real note Of
American patriotism and is the under,
lying principle of the Republican
party. Yet there are still a few mis-
guided black men, some of them in
this state, who proudly boast of cast
ing their votes with Alabama, Texas,
Georgia and Mississippi.

there isn't likely to be. Manager
Bresnahan isn't a believer in spec
tacUlar feats during the conditioning
period. He prefers to have his ath-
letes go about the physical hardening
process in a business-like way, real
izing that games won do not begin to
count until April IA.
Nothing indicates this more en-
phatically than the attitude of Roger
toward the spring exhibition sched-
ule. In the past it has been the GUS
tom for the Cubs to start the home
ward hike early, playing games near
ly every day, with nasty train jumps
in between. Kansas City has usually
been on the schedule and good base
ball has never resulted.
Bad weather has been encountered,
the players, just emerging from the
warm belt to an area drenched by
rain and swept by chill winds, have
suffered some arms and legs from
exertion in regulation ball games.
Bresnahan altered this when he
took charge of the Cubs. He wiped
out the majority of the exhibition
games on the northern trip and ar
ranged for the squad to be in Tampa
for full month. During this month
several games will be played with big
league clubs training in the vicinity
of Tampa, but the temperature will
be even and the men will work into
a semblance of big league condition.
Roger doesn't want too many ex-
