City Health Good-Fairmont is safe
from a health standpoint for all visit.
ors to the Fairmont Fair is the
statement made today by the City
Board OF Health. Only four cases OF
typhoid fever have been reported this
month and these are due to impure
we'll water. All are now under close
observation and are recovering. A
meeting Of the city and county boards
OF Health was held last night and the
matter Of quarantining this city for in
fantile paralysis was considered. It
was decided that a quarantine at this
time would not be not only impractical
but Of very little value. The nearest
case Of this disease is now in Pennsyl.
yania near Jamestown and there is but
slight danger Of 1t spreading to this
section.

& THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES,
Suffering and Pain to Many
Well Known Langdon Reader

Pain is natures signal of distress.
A warning not to be ignored. Those
sharp twinges in the back-those sud
den, stabilize pains when STOPPING,
are frequent signs of kidney trouble;
signs that must not be neglected. To
remove kidney pains, you must assist
the kidneys. Use a tested and proven
kidney remedy. None more highly
endorsed than Doan's kidney pills.
Mrs. O.. G. Thorson of Park River,
N. OAK, says: Il had a lot of trou-
BILE with my back. 1t ached all Of
the time, and when | Strengthened up
after STOPPING over, sharp twinges of

medicines and consulted doctors, but

two runs. Brown retires with the game
a lie, and the next pitcher becomes re-
SpoMSible.
4, DO not give the first pitcher credit for
Il game Won, even if score is in his favor,
unless he has pitched at least the first
half of the game. y pitcher retired at
close of fourth inning, with the score 2
TO l in his favor, has not Il Won game. If,
however, he is taken out because of his
team having secured n commanding and
winning lead in u few innings, then he is
entitled to the game.
The good Judgment of the scorer must
determine on whether the pitcher is re-
lievcd because of ncffectivcness, or be-
cause he has q commanding lead, or be-
cause il becomes necessary at u critical
stage to replace him by Il stronger bats
man.
.. Regardless of how many innings the
first pitcher may lave pitched he is charg-
ed With the loss of the game If he is re-
tired with the score gains him and his
team Is unable thereafter to tie or over
come that lead.
The following rules and suggestions
nre submitted for your guidance in de.
tcrmining runs earned off the pitcher:
An earned run shall be scored every
time the player reaches home Nefore
fielding chances have been offered to
retire the side by the aid OF, first,
base hits; second. sacrifice hits; third,
stolen bases; fourth, bases on balls;
fifth, hit batsmcn; sixth, wild pitches;
seventh, balks.
The intent Of the rule is to include
under the heading Of earned runs all
the factors that produce run for which
the pitcher is chiefly responsible.
Use Your best judgment where differ
enccS of opinion arise regarding earned
runs. particularly when one pitcher
substitutes for another. Give the pitch.
er the benefit of the doubt on folding
errors and in determining the base tC
which Il unn should have been held
With perfect support on part of field
ers.
An error made by pitcher is the
same as though made by the other
fielder and should not be charged
against the pitchers earned run rec
ord.
No run can he earned that scores rs
result of batsman having reached frs
on a fielding error or passed ball.
No run can be earned after the field
ing side has missed a chance o.
chances to retire the side.
DO not score a double play in a cas-
where an error intervenes between tw.
putouts. thus breaking the continuity
Of the play.
Do not give an assist to the infielde
bad throw in fielding a batted ball t
that base and on which play the bats
man is safe, but the first runner i
subsequently retired in trying to ad
vance.
