MANY HAVE CONSUMPTION
WHO DO NOT KNOW 1T

Only few years ago consumption
was considered an incurable disease.
1t was believed to be hereditary, and
once it spread in any family there
seemed to be little hope of stopping its
ravages. We know now that consump-
ton is not only durable, but that the
vast majority Of people who contract
the disease get well without ever hav-
ing to consult a physician, DR.. M. P.
Ravenel of the department of preven-
tive medicine of the University of
Missouri, says. 1t is the most wide
spread of all diseases. The Germans
have a saying, Every man has be-
fore the end a little tuberculosis"
These facts have demonstrated to us
the durability of the disease.
There is no medicine which has any
specific or special effect in consump-
ton. All so-called consumption cures
are fakes, pure and simple. They are
apt to be loaded with opium, alcohol
or some narcotic drug, and invariably
injure the digestion and lessen the
chances of recovery. 1t may be said
that the chances for recovery from
tuberculosis depend entirely on keep
ing the digestive system in good con-
dition, and anything like opium or
alcohol which Injuries the digestion
will also lessen the prospects of re-
covery from tuberculosis.
What then are the cures for tuber-
culosis? They are four in number,
and no one has anJ patent on them.
They are fresh air, sunlight, good food
and rest. Drugs should be used spar
ingly, and only on the advice of a
physician. The most successful ply
sicians use them as little as possible
in treating the disease at the present
day.
To obtain the four requisites men,
toned above, sanatoria have been
built throughout the country in large
numbers. They carry out the So
called open-air treatment of tubercu-
losis. Almost all States have proyid-
ed such institutions for their citizens
and many cities have done likewise.
The earlier a case of consumption is
taken TO an institution, the better.
Much valuable time is often lost by
drugging with patent medicines which
are invariably injurious.
Don't neglect a persistent and long
continued cough. Colds do not last
indefinitely A cold which lasts for
several weeks is almost invariably
consumption. Don't neglect early
symptoms. The earlier proper treat
ment is begun, the greater the chanc-
es of recovery.

BRIDGEPORT HAS
 BIG BATTING DAY AGAINST LAWRENCE

Lawrence, Mass, June 6-After see- ing the Bridgeport sluggers perform here yesterday the local fans wonder ed why KrichelPs men are not higher in the race. The Americans Slashed the daylights out of two Lawrence pitchers and won in a canter by il to 2. Frank Dessau. who was on the rubber for the visitors, was never in trouble. He allowed only five hits. Y
 Lawrence started on the mound for the home club but was slammed for IS blows during the eight innings he served. Canavan pitched the last in- ming. Corcoran was the leading Bridgeport hitter with four swats in four times up. Guy Finn had three safeties while Lear had a homer and single. Manager Krichell caught a splendid game and also made two drives.
 Bridgeport scored twice in the first. Trieste bunted safely and took sec ond on wild throw. He went to third on Zinn's infield hit and counted on Corcoran's single. The latter got around on an error and Lear's hit. In the fourth with. two out and nobody on, Lear put the ball over the left field fence. Martin got around in the fifth on his double and Prieste's sim gleL Then Finn oa1lected another wallop, counting Trieste.
 In the sixth Bridgeport piled ur three on hits by Corcoran, Finn Krichel1 and Dessau and pass to Briggs. Three more were added ir the seventh on successive drives by Finn, Corcoran, Brigss,l Deininger and score:

Mistakes Made By
 England On Athletics
 Should Be Avoided

Every branch of sportdom has a lesson to learn from England, which country shut down on all sports when that nation became embroiled in the tangles of war. The governing body of the English turf has recently an- nounced that the famous English Der by will be run this summer. The races were not run last year because of the war. Now. with thousands Of her sons dead and wounded, Great Britain finds it desirable to revive the racing classic. The reason is ob- vious. The people at home need di- version to give their nin6s a rest from the strain of sorrow that has fallen upon them through their coun- trys activity in the war.
 There are a hundred lessons that we can learn from the experience of our ally across the Atlantic. After the first six months of the war, Eng land fell a victim of the same form of national hysteria that now threat ems this country. During this period of national unrest, 1t was decided to abandon the Derby, the Oaks and other big racing features.

WON'T TRANSFER WASHINGTON TEAM THIS YEAR ANYWAY

New York, June GA lot of folks have been very busy of late trans ferring the Washington baseball club to points situated as far south as Bal timore, and as far north as Toronto. Somehow or other those who naturally would be expected to have some idea of the billing and routing of the ship ment if Griffith and his boys are to be hauled away from the capital do not appear inclined to affirm rurnors and reports to this effect.
 For examples Ban Johnson says in very plain terms that he knows of no plan to cart the Senators. away from Washington. Admittedly the situa- ton there isn't exactly all that il might be. But for patriotic reasons just now, if for no other, the club will not be transferred this week nor this month nor the next.
 As a further tip that the club wont be moved during the present season Connie Mack offers to lay a little be, on the matter. If safe, sane. con servative Cornelius McGillicuddy is willing to wager that the club will noi be moved, the bet can ride for us too

BENNY KAUFF AND
 BURNS LOSE FOR GIANTS IN THE 9TH

Cincinnati. June 6-Misjudgment of two fly balls in the ninth inning by Giant outfielders yesterday permitted the Reds to stage a ninth inning rally that gave them the game. The score was to 5. It was the first clash of the Giants and Reds series, and the New Yorks were big favorite for the game, as Ferdie Schupp, their best pitcher, went to the mound, but the Reds batted him out of the game. Schupp lasted six rounds, and then George Smith, formerly Columbia University hurler, was called upon
 He pitched we'll until the ninth, but 1t was not his fault that he lost. Hits by Mitchell and Groh lin the last round should have been outs, but Kauff and Burns lost them. for which the Red rooters gave profund thanks
 Kauff fell when reaching for MitcheIps hit and it resulted in a two bagger. This misfortune placed Shean on third base he having singled. and then Groh raised a fly 1 to left. Burns staggered trying to l locate it and finally fell. The ball rolled away for double and both Shean and Mitchell scored. That was the end of the game. It was a poor exhibition for the Giants. They didn't look like prospective champions here. 1 In the eighth inning the Reds
 pitcher and catcher protested so wig orously on a ball called on Holke that they were both banished and Mitchell and Huhn were substituted. Tn addi-
 ton to these, John McGraw was point ed out the straight and narrow path l! to the clubhouse.

WEINERT DEFEATS AL REICH EASILY
 IN SLOW BAT TILE

New York, June 6-Char1ie Wei nert. the Newark heavyweight, mak- ing his first ring appearance since 11is memorable bout with Fred Fulton several months ago. easily earned the honors over Al Reich in their ten round bout, which was the principal offering at the Pioneer S. c. last night. Weinert, at a disadvantage | of seventeen and a half pounds in weight, won every one of the ten ses- sions, and he was enabled to do so by the lack of initiative or successful of fensive of Rsic11.
 This has been the latter's only fail ing ever since he entered the profes- sionaI ring, and last night was no exception. Throughout the bout Weinert sbelabered his opponent with stiff left-hapd jab; in faet,> this was practically the only blow employed by the Newark boxer, except on rare oc- casions, when he found it suitable to send over his right to Refch's face.
 In only the fifth. eighth, ninth and tenth rounds did Reich seem to make any impression on the large crowd. In these sessions he uncorked iurries which fustered Weinert mornentarily, and there were several times in these closing rounds that the Newark star was shalxy-
 They were only durries. however. and in each instance weinert recov- cred himself in time to step nimbly about and outpoint Reich for the remainder of the round. The con tinual habit of Reich in falling into harmless clinches in the latter rounds aroused the ire of the spectators, and they did not hesitate to voice their dis spproyal ua

SWEDISH SYSTEM
 WILL BE ADOPTED FOR OUR ATHLETES

New York, Junet GA broad deve1- opment of the present Olympic train ing system now in vogue in Sweden is planned for the coming summer. During the past few years Coach Err nie Hjertberg has carried most of the work upon his own shoulders but as .the popularity of track and field ath- leties increased it was seen that the task was rapidly outstripping the ca pacity of the original coaching staff
 Until recently Hjertberg has had but two assistants and 1t was inpos@ sible for them to cover Sweden thor oughly and give the Swedes the bene- fit Of steady coaching all summer. Hjertberg was compelled to travel from place to place with the result that many cities had to content them selves with one or two weeks instruc-
 tion during the whole season, and several promising towns, for lack of time, were neglected altogether. In an effort to remove this handicap the
 Swedish A. A. U. made plans to install ten coaches, with Hjertberg as in- structor and supervisor of. their
 work.
 These coaches, who were selected
 by the S. A. A. U., are all men who have had experience in athletics. However, practical experience in ath- letics was naturally not deemed suf- fcient in order to qualify as a coach and it was therefore decided that they should receive special course of in- struction. This coursef covers all branches necessary for the making of
 a, successful coach, and includes: Practical and theoretical coaching training, first aid to the injured and l.hygienie, benefits of light gymnastle
 exercises, massage, how to lay out
 athletic fields and tracks and the care | of same, and the organizing of clubs This teaching of the men in the organizing of clubss and the general | methods used for this purpose is done | with the thought that these coaches l who are to serve as members Of the l districtt organization in which they | belong, will be in "a position to. adr wise and help in the formation of new clubs in their respective districts | When these men have completed l this course and are deetned compe. | tent to handle the work intended fol l them, they will be sent to the differ. ent districts and each coach will have 1 charge of the athletes instruction ir his district, under the supervision O.

LEONARD MAY 60
 ON STAGE JAUNT
 MANAGER CLAIMS

New York, June 6.-Billy Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard, the new
 worlds lightweight champion, an- nounced last night that 1t is more than likely that a theatrical tour will be arranged for Leonard shortly. Gibson
 said that he has been negotiating with local theatrical producer, and ex- poets as soon as a tour can besarranged to sign a contract. Most of Leonard s stage work, Gibson added, will be in
 local vaudeville theatres.
 Concerning Leonard's expected en- { try into the army, Gibson said that Ithe new lightweight champion regis tered yesterday and will apply within week for admittance into the ser vice.
 Leonard received rousing reception in Philadelphia on Monday night, Gibson declared, adding that on his return from the Olympia A. A. after his six-round bout with Joe Welsh, 1t was necessary to enlist the aid of Philadelphia policemen to escort Ben- ny from his automobile to the hotel where he was stopping. A crowd of about 5000 jubilant admirers, Gibson said. formed a parade to the club be- { fore the bout, and to the hotel after
 the bout.
