SEASON ON UNSIGNED
 COMPLAINTS CLOSED
No More Attention VIII Be Paid
 to Anonymous Letters.

pr. T. E. Reeks, superintendent of health, today adopted a rule that hereafter he Will pay no attention to anonymous complaints made in writ ing.
 Ever since taking office pr. Reeks has paid attention to all complaints, but some of them to which no name is signed are becoming of such a vague nature that he has decided to investigate only those of a specific nature.
 An idea of the complaints Dr. Reeks has been receiving can be gained from one which was signed Pro Bono Publico' or some such name, and which informed him that ne might find the health laws being violated if he Investigated "a. place on Washington street north of Ipafay- cite street" No specific address was given. Despite this fact. pr. Reeks and Sanitary Inspector John T. O'Brien investigated and the latter found a case where garbage filtered the yard. Whether this is the nui- sance the anonymous writer referred to Is not known.
 Light Hurt Tenants Eyes.
 AnOthef com pla1nt received recent ly was one from anonym ous writer who furnished the information that the health authorities might investi- gate the condition of a fence, nam ing the location. The complaint was investigated and pr. Reeks found that the fence. which was covered with sheet iron, reflected the sunlight into an adjoining house, much to the an- noyance of the occupants. It also shut out the air to a certain extent. This, Dr. Reeks says, is not matter for the health department to deal with.
 pr. Recks has been informed by the state board of health that it is not necessary for him to attend to anonymous complaints. He will be pleased to receive any complaints, but to show that they are made in good faith they must be signed. He states that all complaints will be treated in a confidential manner.

GRtFFMEN BUNCH HITS
IN SECOND AND WIN GAME
New Makeup of Team Again Shows
Excellent Form Behind
Good Pitching.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Timely punching of hits in the sec
ond inning, when the Browns also
were guilty of a couple of errors, to-
gether with effective pitching through
out, allowed the Nationals to win a
3 to victory over the Browns yester-
day.
Ayers was in splendid pitching form,
but his fielding was off color. three of
the hits charged against him being
the fault of his interference and de-
Election of easy grounders to the in
field. But for all that Doc was not
scored on, and, though he was in many
tight places, he managed to work out
of them with comparative ease and
hold his opponents in check.
Weilman, on the other hand, was hit
frequently, but had one particularly
poor inning in which the Griffmen
scored all their runs. That was in the
second, and Dan Moeller had much to
do with this rally. Gandil started 1t
by hitting safely. and when Shotton
was a bit slow in handling the ball.
Gandil dashed for second on Shotton's
poor throw. Acosta sacrificed him to
third with a neat bunt, and Henry
brought him home with a hit. Nc
Bride forced Henry with grounder
to Pratt, and Doc Ayers was given a
life when Pratt fumbled his grounder.
At this stage Moeller drove out a triple
to left center, sending Mcbride and
Ayers home, but he was left when
Foster flied to Shotton.
Weilman was not scored on thereaft-
err. Ayers was threatened in the first
when Shotton singled and was sacri-
feed to second, but the next two bat
ters were helpless
Howard hit for three bases in the sec
ond with one out, but Ayers famed
Lavan and Agnew popped up a fly to
Henry There was nothing further do
ing until the fifth, when Ayers gave La
van hit by poor fielding, but nothing
resulted. Shotton started the sixth
with a hit but could not get off first
In the seventh the doctor was in a real
mess and had the bases full, but held
the enemy. After Walker had been re-
tired, Mcbride lost HoWards little pop

thing about the Browns. they are al
ways hustling and have an assortment
of pitchers liable to make trouble for
any of their rivals. Agnew is one of
the best catchers in the league and
with one or two other departments
plugged up the Browns would not be a
second division team.
Jimmy Austin is the same hustler of
old. Austin undoubtedly is one of the
most valuable men on the St. Louis
team. He is in every game and not
only plays his position well, but isN a
clever man at the plate when it comes
to pulling the unexpected. Austin
played a splendid game at third yes
terday.
Though Chick Gandil got two hits in
enough on his other two trips to the
Ter made quite catch of his liner in
the fifth and in the eighth Austin
picked up sizzling grounder from
Gandil's bat which. had it gone
through. probably would have netted
three bases.
Sisler handles himself like a real
ball player. He stands up well at the
plate. is fast getting to first and in the
outfield looks like a finished fielder.
Not in recent years has the game had
so versatile a player as Sisler. He not
only is a pitcher of more than ordinary
ability, but he can play either the out
or infield, and give a good account of
himself. Hickey undoubtedly has
picked up a prize in this collegian.

Mack has had several chances to sell

Fate has much to do with ball play
er's success. Players of great ability
are often unfortunate enough to be
with a team which is not of sufficient
strength to keep it prominent in the
race, and as result the player who,
if with a winner, would gain fame and
prominence. does not get the credit he
deserves
Bert Shotton is one of these. The
Browns outfielder on winning team
would be ranked with Speaker and
Cobb and players of that type, but he
has been with a loser so long that
while the patrons of the game recog-
nize his ability, he does not attract the
attention he would if he We're with a
winning combination. Shotton is very
fast a great fielder and hitter and would
bring a fortune If put on the market
