Lost to Burlington High
School by Score of
81 to 27
VISITORS ACCURATE
IN THEIR SHOOTING
Game Was Played in the
Local School Gym
nasium

spaulding suffered crushing defeat al
the hands OF Burlington high school last
evening in the second game of basketball
between the two teams this season. The
game was played in the Spaulding gym
nasum on Washington street and result
ed in score Of 81 for Burlington against
81 for the local team
The visitors outclassed the Spaulding
team in every stage of the game, being
especially superior in their accuracy in
shooting. Blodgett of the Burlington
team and his terminate, II. Rupert, were
almost infallible in their shots from the
floor and Bergstein of the same team
missed few of the many free shots of
fered him.
Spauding secured the first score when
Carroll Gagged an easy one in the first few
moments of play. The visitors soon Sc
cured comfortable lead, however, and
were never in any immediate danger aft
erwards Spaulding kept the ball well
under Blrington's basket, in this feature
showing an improvement over her pre-
vious games, but her men were SO well
covered by their opponents that rarely
was there anything like an unobstructed
shot. Burlington, on the other hand, less
frequently got the ball in her end of the
hall but nearly always tailed basket
when she succeeded in getting the ball
there The score at the end of the FIRST
half stood q to IA in favor of the visit
ors
The second half was much the same in
its results as the first, Burlington secur-
ing securing rs points to Spaulding's 10. /
The local boys put up hard fight but !
could not stop the continual stream of j
baskets which were being shot from Bur
lington's end of the floor. During the ,
last few minutes of play the floor was
turned into species of a first aid ward
while the various injuries were doctored

CHILD MALADIES FATAL
Whoopins Cough Is Champion Agency
of Reaper" Among Infants.

Detroit, Mich, June 15.-MortaIity
statistics of the bureau of health of
Philadelphia from 1911-1915 dis
proved the popular opinion that chill
dren's diseases are harmless and the
children must take them some time
anyway" DR.. Edwin E. Graham de-
clared in a paper read before the
American Medical association in ses-
sion here today:
They show the danger in childhood
of measles, whooping cough, diph-
iberia, scarlet fever and typhoid fe-
YER" he said. More deaths are
caused among infants under one year
OF age from whooping cough than
from any of the other diseases mem
toned. Measles comes next, diphthe-
ria is not far behind and scarlet fever
is fourth on the list.
1.-The mortality from whooping
cough continues high up to five years
of age. During the second period of
life, d1phtheria shows the highest NOR
tallty of the five diseases, although
measles is more fatal at this age than
any other period.
Between five and ten years of age
d1phtheria causes more deaths than
measles, WhoOping cough, scarlet fever
and typhoid combined. After ten
years OF age, measles and whoopine
cough lose their virulence, while
deaths from typhoid, which are ex-
tremely rare in infancy, steadily in
crease toward early adult life"

Just to show that I'm not lazy, I'd
be willing to tell you something about
st. Louis proper. But, unfortunately,
don't know anything about it,
either proper or improper. 1 don't
know who discovered it or when or
why. I don't know the population
and when 1 walk through the streets 1
don't know whether I'm going north
or south.
Some said it lies on the Mississippi,
but it can't be proven by me. 1 know

because L bought a palm beach suit
of him. All the stitches have come

that st. Louis is famous for is a brew
cry, but as one barrel holds all need
l haven't been out to see it yet.
1 don't know what the population is,
or who was born here. or what the
death rate is, and I honestly don't
care. All that interests me is this
Democratic convention, which 1 would
love SO dearly to write about if there
were anything to write. But as there
isn't, the will must be taken for the
deed

brought in the Wyandotte county dis
trict court, at Kansas City, Kansas.
Pate, who is 65 years old, says he
was working for this company last
March when he stepped on rusty nail
driven through a board that was
buried in ashes in the railroad yards.
Blood poison resulted and it was
necessary to amputate a part of his

a heavy load of scrap iron when the
accident happened, and this dead
weight added to his own, he says,
