HIGH INJURIES HIS LEG

DETROIT. Sept. l3.-Pcnnant mad the
Detroit Tigers set upon Bill Donovan's
visiting Yankees here to-day and In .
vicious struggle emerged victorious
ny to l.. BY supprcssing the
New York travellers Hugh Jen-
nings's men crept to within 8 per-
centagc points Of first place. They
won the game mainly because Harry
Coveleskie pitched superbly for seven
innings and the hitters behind him took
q liking to the curves Of Bob Shawkcy.
The Yankees tossed a fright into the
hearts of the 5000 spectators in the
latter part Of tho game by opening a
broadside against Coveleskie, but be-
fore any Interior damage could result
the big Pole was sidetracked and George
Dauss came furiously to the rescue.
hating the proceedings before the two
run local lead was entirely obliterated.
That old Injury ink. which has both
cred the Yankees all year.. cropped up
again in the NTH inning to-day when
Hugh High. running out a double.
sprung a charley horse and was forced
to leave the game. High could barely
walk and may not be able to play again
for a week or ten days. Baumann went

and Miller crossed over to left. This
change was felt in the eighth when
Baumann made n poor throw Of a ball
that allowed Detroit to score two runs.
shawkey Does Well.
Shawkey pitched clever ball during
his stay. he being relieved In the eighth
inning to allow IA pinch batter to per-
form. but the two runs made of Bob
were earned. II was not until the fifth
inning that Bob felt the sting of De-
troit's wrath. n It did not come then
until Bush and Cobb had been retired.
Veach made the opening blow with q
rousing liuc drive to centre field that
Magee did not get back into the !ntield
until Vcach arrived at third. Crawford
followed with a double to right and
Ncach walked across the plate with the
second run.
The first run made of Shawkcy was
hurried across the plate In the initial in
ming. hut was not altogether the fault Of
the star New York noundman. Intield
taps that went for hits helped the tally
over. II being carried by Witt. who singled
past Mullen. went to second on Bush's
sacrifice. TO third on a wild pitch and
tailed on an infcld tap by Neach.
Coveleskic took efficient care OF the
Yankees in the early going. only doubles
by High and Baker ruining him at all.
Alexander collected the third hit OF the
game. "A single in the sixth. but he got
no help. Convey began the eighth with a
pass to Miller and C;edeon followed viii
a single to centre oil which Miller got to
third. but G;cdcon was out trying TO

drinking water where animals can
infected. The hog is particularly liable
to this disease because of its roofing
habits. The eggs may get into hui
man food. and persons who allow
dogs to lick their hands and face also
run the risk of getting the eggs of the
tapeworm in thoir systems.
Prevention on the farm consists in
SO restraining tho dog that he cannot
get at carrion or raw viscera. viscera
should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on
the fields. II not cooked and fed, Wis
cera and carcasses should be burned.
buried with lime, or so disposed OF as
not to be accessible to dogs. Proper
feeding of the dog is essential and the
owner who does not feed dog prop
erly has no right to keep one.
The parasite which causes gid in
sheep somewhat resembles the hyda.
It'd worm. A dog allowed to eat the
brain of giddy sheep may swallow
this parasite and later distribute the
eggs of the resulting tapeworm over
the pasture. Sheep while grazing
swallow the eggs with the grass which
they eat. In the case of sheep dogs
1t is important to administer vermi-
fuges often enough to keep them free
OF these worms. In the case OF sheep
measles, the bladder worm in the
meat, typical of this disease, is swal-
lowed by the dog and again the tape
worm eggs are passed by the dog to
grass or water and there are eaten
by sheep.
OF the external parasites which
dogs may carry to animals, fieas and
the various kinds of ticks are both
troublesome and dangerous. The
| remedy is clear. The owner must
keep his dog clean, not merely for the
comfort and happiness of the dog. but
to prevent it from becoming carrier
of disagreeable and dangerous vermin.
These reasonable measures, impor-
tant to the stock on the farm, have a
direct connection with the health of
the family Where ringworm or other
| skin diseases break out among the
children, or the worm parasites devel-
| op, 1t is well to determine whether a
dirty or uncared-for dog may not be
carrying infection on his skin or hair,
or be conveying disease from carrion
directly to the food and persons of his
friends. Even II no one Is infected
with disease. the folly of allowing a
dog to remain dirty and have the free
dom of home where personal clean
liness and hygiene are respected is ap
parent.

Effective Schemes,

Fur is frequently introduced as q
trimming detail. and several effective
schemes are being carried out with
a combination of crepe and skunk. A
charming example is blouse of the
palest pale-pink chiffon with yelled
fine ivory shadow lace arranged to fall
in a little basque movement over a
deep bell of black panne. tiny black
dots trimming the V-shaped neck open
ing and sleeves, which are Furthermore
adorned by ruffies of fine net. The
distinctive feature is a little bolera
of old gold mousseline de sole, the
edges bordered by finger depth of
skunk fur. the fronts just caught to-
gether by a cameo brooch.

LAZY ANCESTORS Of
OUR MODERN FOWLS
Industrious Hen of Today Lays
800 Eggs in Year, While
Jungle Bird Laid Twelve.
Py C. 8. ANDERSON. colorado3

tBy G. s. ANDERSON, ColoradoD
The Jungle fowl, from which all our
modern breeds of chickens have orig
mated, laid from twelve to fifteen
eggs year when in its wild and nat
ural state. With years OF selection.
we have succeeded in developing from
this low-producing fowl type OF bird
the chief function of which is egg pro-
duction. Our present-day Leghorns
and carefully selected fowls of several
other breeds. lay close to 300 eggs an
nually. and in the course of lifetime
more than a thousand.
An average hen of the egg type
breeds will lay in a years time five
times her body weight In eggs. TAX
ing the standard weight of eggs as "a
ounces per dozen, this means an egg
every three days during the year To
accomplish this the hen must consume
nearly thirty times her body weight in
feed.
The hen also has a market value
when she is no longer an egg producer.
Comparing the total marketable prod
ucts returned for 100 pounds OF digest.
ible matter consumed, the hen ranks
second only to the COW among all our
common farm animals.
