ed In a two-hit game and in two

The best any Washington pitcher
has done was to fling a four-hit
game, Walter johnson turning that
trick. Once Joe Boehling held the
foe to Ave hits. and Harry Harper
has done this three times.
Dutch Leonard has pitched three
shut-out games, two more than any
other American League pitcher has
done.
As the days go on. you'll find the

going back a bit. Under the rules

Steve O'Neili is a fine catcher. He
Is a fine chap. personally. too.
But Steve O'Neill Is laying up
punches of trouble for himself.
Steve is gaining a reputation for
blocking off runners at the plate.
Cleveland writer's shout In Glce
that Steve blocked Cobb and Young
Off the platter in one game. and that
he blocked Fournier of the next
day.
In st. Louis Steve Is said to have
blocked of Derrill Pratt. Hcilman In
Detroit. and schalk in Chicago.
As everybody knows. II requires a
lot Of nerve to be big league
catcher. It requires a lot of nerve
to block of. runner at the plate in
any league.
But Steve o'Neill. good catcher
and fine chap. Is taking some awful
chances in building up a reputation
for blocking off runners.
Some day some fine young athlete,
armed with spikes on shoes, Will
come tearing down that line and
will cut Mr.. O'Neill to ribbons.
Then. when It's too late. Ran John
son will come out with one OF his
official mandates. ordering all rum
nerB to have chance at the plate.
Blocking runners has become
fine art for some big league catchers.
John Henry and Eddie Ainsmith
know the trick. and frequently get
away with II. Bill CarTigan. mana
ger of the Red Sox. IL adept at the
art. Wallie Schang. OF the Mack
men. Is good.
There Is no sportsmanship in this
practice. or course. 1t may be ar
gued. there is little understandable in
professional baseball. anyway.
But. worse than that. It is posi-
lively dangerous. When some catch
er, following the example OF others.
wakes up with blood poisoning, II
will be much too late to call atten-
ton to this evil habit of some catch
ers.
IL those Cleveland writer's are
friends of O'Neill's. they will quit
boosting this habit of his.
II he doesn't quit II. he'll be the
worst sufferer in the long run.

CHRISTMAS DANGERS

Itseemsi important at this time
to call the attention of the, public
to some of the dangers of the
lighted Christmas tree, because
of the fact that many homes,
churches and schools will hold
these festivities.
This is the season when
naught but happiness and good
cheer should prevail. BY eau
ton and carefulness in hand
ling Christmas tree decorations
we can make it so. Teach the
children the danger from fire
and to be constantly on the
watch for anything that may
cause fire.
Where possible, electricity
should be used for lighting,
wiring should be done by a
competent electrician.
If candles r used, do not
allow the children to light
them. Their clothing may
catch on fire, or the tree, if dry,
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-12-21

While returning home from
attending The Birth of a Ma
ton in Bottineau last Tuesday
night, Charles Norwood of
Westhope' froze his feet so bad
ly that for a time it was feared
an amputation would be nee
essary. At present he is in
the Westhope hospital with
out any serious results. In
company with Geo. Sandy and
the Misses Erkle Norwood and
Amy Nelson, he started out for
home by auto at a late hour.
1t was extremely cold and a
few miles out of Westhope the
radiator of the car froze up.
The machine was abandoned
and the party walked into
town. None of the other mem
beR of the party suffered any
serious injuries as a result of
the experience.

VIII DUIA.
DO not use paper, cotton or
other inlammable material
and see that the tree is securely
fastened 50 that it cannot be
pulled over when reaching for
things.
Never leave a lighted tree
with children alone.
Don't put cotton on or under
the tree to represent snow.
Use mineral wood or asbestos.
The effect is better than with,
cotton.
Don't permit a draft of air to.
sway the branches of the tree
while it is lighted.
BY following these instruc-
tons we hope to repeat the re-
cord of 1915, when not one
single Christmas tree fire was
reported to this department.,
and we ask every man, woman
and child to join in this effort
to make Christmas the joyous
season it. is meant to be.
