until they handed all the runs and
some more back to the enemy.
This series has just about finished
off the White Sox as pennant posi-
bilities. They had a chance before
they went to Detroit, and the sur
vivor of the tangle could count on re-
naming in the fight. Jennings peo-
pie stood firmly under the strain and
the Sox cracked. Cracked is the only
explanation. Detroit did not play
good ball by any means. They should
have been beaten in all three battles.
But the SoX were punk-painfully so.
Now they are nine and a half
games back of the Red Sox and only
a few days more than month re-
main of the season. The Sox finish
away from home, and, in the light of
past records for eastern trips, the gap
will be increased instead of lessened.
Washington is nine games back of the
Hose, so there is little doubt that the
team will finish in third place.
In the series with Cleveland, start
ing today with double-header, the
Sox should do some shopping in the
percentage table, but it is too late.
We can be consoled with a city Sc
ries, however, and this civil strife pro-
duces as much rivalry as a worlds
championship, though the financial
returns to the athletes are smaller.

There seems little probability that
the three teams ahead of the Cubs
will crack, and, even though they did,
the West Siders would undoubtedly
outcrack them, so what's the use of
figuring.
From now on Bresnahan, out of
the race, may experiment with some
new fellows. The 21-player limit ex-
PRED Sept. 1, and the clubs can fill
their rosters with new material.
Roger has three or four kid infielders
and one mighty good outfelding pros
pect to try out before next spring.
George Mcconnell continues to win
games for the Whales. This fellow
is easily the best pitcher of Tinker's
team, and about the most valuable
in the third league. He is effective,
and, in addition to that, can stand
more work than any member of the
local staff. In fact, he is the iron
man of the league.
Some of his pitching could have
been used by the Cubs this season,
though early in the spring so little
was thought of him that he was re-
leased before the season opened.
None of the veterans who retained
their jobs have pitched at anything
like his speed.
Hauser played short for the Whales,
Doolan not having had time to join
the club. Zeider, Westerzil and Mann
batted home the runs.
Tinker still figures himself in the
pennant chase, being only three
games and half from the top and
having the benefit of long home
stand Signing Doolan was last
chance move, and everything de-
ponds on the veteran. He doesn't
need to bat, if he fields as he can.

grievous visitations by war, famine and misery" this same typhus which is the indifferent ally of friend or foe, fighting on both sides and impartially on every side.
 And you can figure out what chance the rest of Europe is going to have if you re- fleet that this typhus is endemic also that 1t is indigenous to the sod, constantly pres ent more or less, in portions of Russia especially Poland and the East Sea Prov inces, Hungary, parts of the Balkan States, besides existing in Tunis, Algeria, Egypt and other parts of northern Africa.
 For example, in Servia there is, or rather was, prison camp in which 7bO Austrian prisoners were collected. Typhus has fallen like blight on that camp, typhoid. dysentery smallpox and diphtheria being willing helpers, until no more than score of those 750 men can stand, the rest being stretched but on muddy ground, their clothing foul and alive with vermin.
 And there is-or was-a Servian h0spl- tai practically impossible to approach on account of the stench, while It's stink ing rags and dressings, and even DOT tions of amputated limbs, were thrown over a wall for crows, magpies and pariah dogs to busy themselves about.
 The watchword in typhus prevention is cleanliness. First the vermin must be got rid of. Patients and contacts are isolated or are removed to isolation, verm1n-free camps and hospitals. The houses and other places where the stricken have come from are disinfected by squads armed with buckets containing solutions of carbolic

 Typhus
 Epidemic
 Which Has

 European Doctors.

British in the Crimea lost twenty-five men from disease to one from the enemy's fire. In the Franco-Prussian war, Bazaine's great army, shut up in Metz, if they had not sur rendered, would have died of disease and starvation, while actually one-half of the besieging Germans, with everything in their favor, were on the sick list.
 In our brief war with Spain deaths from sickness in our army were seven times more numerous than from injury. In the Balkan war of several years ago the brief Bulgarian campaign broke down largely because of epidemic disease. There were thirty thousand cases of cholera in one day-a much more fatal factor than the Turkish resistance in checking the Bull gars at Chatalja and in the failure to take 2 Constantinople
 Among the infectious diseases that thrive in warfare, the most difficult to handle is cholera, the Asiatic guest, which we de- scribed in this newspaper of April 4, and which by all signs is going to take it's awful toll when warm weather comes, un- less Gorgass little army of sanitation triumphs over it. Then the bubonic plague is always menace in eastern Europe, war or no war; give but the rats and the fleas, which carry the germs of the plague, little headway and they will attend to the
 
 fever recurrent fever, measles, diphtheria, dysentery-all these and other diseases will have to be fought.
 But the most dreadful of those war pes tilences, as it appears at present, and the one Gorgas has been called on especially to suppress, is typhus fever. This disease prevailed much more in times past than it does now, having receded with civiliza- tions march and with improvements in the worlds sanitation, although mild and little dangerous form, which we call Brill's disease, is still to be found, even in New York, as we shall see. Epidemics of true typhus-called also camp, spotted, ship, jail and barracks fever-are bound to come forth, like the dragons teeth in the legend, whenever war breaks out, and to exceed even war in deadliness.
 And, var or no war, typhus prevails even to-day, prevails extensively in certain parts of the earth, as in the Grand Plateau of Mexico, where it has a fearful mortality The Mexicans call this typhus Tabardillo. And our American Doctor Ricketts lost lis precious life studying this Tabardillo, just as have literally hundreds of doctors and nurses died fighting the same typhus in Servia, whose women and children this scourge is claiming in greater numbers than their men folk are being destroyed at the battle front; in Servia, where typhus "gets" forty per cent of its victims, where up to April last at least 60,000 people of that unhappy country died-of this typhus, "the history of which is the history of hu. man wretchedness, the history of which is written In those dark pages that tell of

By Dr. J. B. Huber.

"HE Rockefeller Foundation has en-
 gagged Major-General William Craw
 . ford Gorgas, now the Surgeon-Gen- eral of the United States Army, the worlds ablest epidemic fighter and the man who cleaned yellow fever out of Panama, to go to Servia, make his headquarters in Bel grade, and head an army of sanitation that will cope with the war pestiences now breaking out in that unhappy country, and especially typhus, which unless checked may sweep all Europe.
 No man has ever been called upon to undertake such a task since the world be- gan. Perhaps the old myth of Hercules and his labor of cleaning out the Augean stables that filled with filth as soon as swept, is the only parallel to it and was, maybe, foreshadowing of Gorgas labor The greatest doctors of Europe have thrown up their hands in despair and that is why Gorgas has been asked to come and head the forces that pestilence is routing.
 The United States can well be proud of the fact that the only man in all the world that the greatest of his kind believe can destroy the forces of disease loosed by the war is an American.
 In the first place, what are the epidemic diseases now destroying life, more surely than any ordinance, in those EaStern EurO- pean countries? And, in the second place, what manner of man is he who is now called on for the epic task of banishing those diseases?
 Many of us imagine that in war the killing is mostly by shot and shell. On the contrary, the fact is, and has ever been, that several die by disease to one by the enemy's weapons. Pestilences have always modified the course of wars; they have ended abruptly some wars; cam paigns that by all military prophecies were bound to succeed have failed utterly be- cause disease has taken it's uncalculated and ghastly part in the conflict. It is very likely, indeed, that in the present world war the peace which the European govern ments now refuse to make will be com pelled by pestilence. The Roman historian Tacitus wrote of a merciless conqueror: He made solitude and called it peace" Disease bids fair now to make of all Flu rope one continental solitude, SO desolate that no more fighting can be done. And then there will have to be peace.
 Let the reader who doubts these consid- erations look little into the past:
 Montgomery and Arnold failed in their invasion of Canada because so many Of their men died of smallpox and dysentery. Napoleon in 1902 wanted to found an em- pfre in our Southland, and could not be- cause 15,0O0 of his fine army died in San Domingo of yellow fever and the malarias. In our Mexican war more than five of our men died of disease to one of wounds. The
