Infielder Goes Into Box
And HurIS One-Hit Game

Ziggey Hasbrook, the star inhelder
of the Musatine Central Association
club, who was purchased by the Chi
cago White Sox few days ago, tried
his hand on the mound and proved a
success as a pitcher, when he shut
out the Cedar Rapids club recently
in the second game OF a double-head-
er, 10 to O. Hasbrook took to the
mound like a regular twirler and let
his opponents down with one hit. He
will report to the White Sox when
the Central association season closes.

Jack Holland has delivered ukase.
Jack says he will not stand for Um-
pires Eckman and Mullen. He places
the responsibility for two Drummer
defeats in Omaha to the umpires, and
has warned President Zehrung to
keep Eckman and Mullen in cities
where ST. Joseph is not playing. In
other words, Holland wants to choose
his own umpires. Which would make
the league nice, interesting, little
circuit if the magnates were to choose
their own umpires, and the ball games
would be wonderful affairs.
Every fan with tinge of sports
manship in his makeup hopes that
Christy Mathewson will be success
at Cincinnati. Matty, however, will
almost have to be base ball miracle
in order to achieve success in Cincy,
though. In recent years Joe Kelley,
Ed Hanlon, John Camel, Clarke Grit
fifth. Hank O'Day, Joe Tinker and
Buck Herzog have tried and failed
in Red town. 1t is a hard task, Big
Six is up against, but he has the good
wishes of the fans il nothing else.
Base runners in the National league
are kicking because umpires do not
call balks on the pitchers. The COM
planning base runners should visit the
Western league. Pitchers in this
loop have achieved a wider variety
OF balks than in any other circuit in
the world, but they get away with
them. To be outspoken about II.
there isn't any such animal as balk
out here.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have left
out roar because Freddy Welsh
kicked out of bout with Charley
White in the Twin Cities. Minnea-
polls and St. Paul are advised that
they got away lucky and would better
be extending heartfelt thanks in
stead of knocks to Mr.. Welsh.
An argument has ensued in the east
over the person and place RESPONSE
BILE for the birth of base bali. The
east is wasting its time. 1t might
better try to find out what ails base
ball right now and where it is going
TO end, not where it started.

Power Plants Out of Business

AOWCI 4 1dAltb Oub VI oubluCbb
Few plants upon which there was
dependence by the towns for water
escaped injury. In most cases the wa
ter plants were entirely submerged
and the machinery necessarily was
ruined. In cases where the plants
were equipped for electrical pumping
the damage is of character that
will require new machinery. 1t is a
fortunate feature, however, that
these plants were out of the way Of
the effects OF current, having been
affected mainly by back-water, or

In view of the widespread cpl
demic of infantile paralysis in New
York city and the high mortality,
there has been much apprehension
throughout the country. The serious
ness of the situation and the possi-
bility of its spreading to other parts
of the United States have prompted
the actions taken by the national,
State an6 municipal health boards.
While as yet no cases have been re-
ported in this State. the disease may
make its appearance at any time,
and it is important and very essen
tial that we should practice and put
into immediate effect the old saying,
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" Contact with other
patients. bites of the stable fly, con-
yeyed by dust, food infection, and
inoculation through wounds, are the
possible modes Of transmission which
have thus far been demonstrated.
While as yet no definite or effective
system of prevention has been for
mulated, the health authorities are
entirely justified in requiring cases
TO be reported, isolated and all
known lines of preventive measures
applied. such as disinfection, SCREEN
ing and guarding against insects. al
Having unnecessary dust, etc. A fly
campaign. directed with especial
reference to the stable fly, is plainly
indicated, and the infection must
also be fought as one conveyed from
man to man directly
Therefore you should see, first OIL
all that your stables are properly
cleaned and kept dry; that the ma
nure be kept in fly proof bins and
treated with the following: Place II
in bins or walled off heaps, and use
six tenths to eight tenths of pound
of borax to three gallons Of water to
eight bushels of the manure. This
will destroy all fly larvae or mag
