WHITE SOX ARE GAME
They VIII Be Honored Even If They
Do Not Win Flag.

Whether the White Sox come thru
as pennant winners in the American
League or not, they have established
the fact that they are game.
Early in the season, when the St
Louis Browns were in the running
for the pennant, Fielder Jones was
quoted to the effect that the Sox
lacked backbone under fire. In short,
Fielder was made to say that the Chi
cago club lacked gameness. A num-
Der of writers also took up the ques-
ton of the stomach" of the White
Sox when they were hard pressed, and
offered the opinion that Clarencs
Rowland's team was lacking.
But the recent White Sox-Red Sox
series in Boston, disapproved every
statement that has been made re-
garding the gameness of the Chicago
outfit After losing two straight
games and the lead Rowland's men
came back gamely and regained the
advantage they had lost by trimming
Boston IN towo well-played games.
And the club that can trim the Won
derfuliy game Boston Red Sox has
some credit coming.
If gameness Is a pebble the Chicago
White Sox are a range of mountains

knights of Columbus viii Tackle the
Elks Team Again.

The Knights of Columbus baseball
team will attempt again tomorrow to
get revenge on the Spencer Arthur
Abbott Elks and Manager Brennan
asserts his team will show real class
if the pitchers are in condition.
Sipes and Stoddard are the mound
men the Knights have been printing
for the contest. Stoddard worked in
a part of last Sundays game against
the Ideals and in six innings allowed
but one scratch hit. If he is in this
kind of form tomorrow, the K. of c.
men are sure they can win, but re-
peated victories have given the Elks
confidence and Abbott says they are
not worrying about the pitching talent
they will have to face
Abbott said today that he would
start Simpson in the box and that he
expects to defeat the Knights so bad
" they will not have the nerve to ask
for another game this season.

NORGAARD TALKS
OF ANTHRAX PLOT

Members OF the board Of agriculture
and forestry and Of the board OF
health will meet in joint session Mon
day afternoon at 4 O'Clock to consider
the anthrax situation.
This meeting will take the place Of
one set for yesterday afternoon, but
which could not be held formally ow-
ing to lack of a quorum In both bodies.
At yesterdays gathering the members
held informal discussion OF the an
thrax plague at which DR.. Victor Nor
gard, territorial veterinarian, offered
the startling opinion that the outbreak
here was the result OF deliberate
rlot, and warned owners Of diaries to
guard against trespassers on their
property.
From the McCully tract vicinity this
morning the death OF COW was re-
ported to the territorial veterinarian,
but examination showed that this was
not a case Of anthrax. DR.. Norgaarc
said at noon today that everything so
far as the latter disease is concerned,
is satisfactory.
Arguments for Dr.. Norgaard's
theory, it is said, are that the out
break occurred just IS hours after
Farm Cornn, owner Of the Territory
Dairy, claims that suspicious char
acters came to his place; that the
rapid spread of the disease was
greater than could have occurred in
any normal manner, and that the cat
tie died very shortly after their ILL
ness was discovered.
Kirk B. Porter. acting president OF
the board of health, has arranged TO
kill anthrax germs on the surface OF
the ground about the dairy by treat
ing it to gas flames. The board OF
health will take charge Of the ground
after the board Of agriculture has
moved the infected herd to some quar-
antine area. {

Price Of SUGAR
IS NOT Affected
BY THEDRAWBACK

That the repeal of the drawback
clause in the tariff provisions as pro-
posed by the senate finance commit
tee, and reported in an Associated
Press despatch, will have but little ef-
feet on domestic sugars so far as price
is concerned. Is the opinion Of A. u.
NOVEL;, secretary of the Sugar Fac
tors Company, Ltd.
The refiners simply took up the re-
filming of foreign sugars for export be,
cause there was a good profit in it
and as it was imported only for the
purpose OF refining and then exporting
to q foreign country it will have no
bearing on the domestic supply" said
Novel;
The big question as l see it," con-
tinued NOVEL;. lis to what extent the
repeal will prevent the refiners from
Since the act was put into effect the
government has refunded to the re-
timers $16,O0O,000. The senate COM
mittee evidently figures that the re-
duction will be very small and a large
proportion Of the $16,O00,000 will thus
be retained by the government 1t is
possible, however, that by thus In
creasing the cost to foreign countries,
these countries may ship the raw
product direct from java, Cuba and
other producing districts and even use
1t in its raw state"
George Rodiek Of Hackfeld & Co. is
OF the opinion that the importation OF
the raw material will not be reduced
and the country thus reap a large
revenue.
