! back to Higgins, and, all in all, the
scrappy little leader of the Mound
City outfit has had to stand some dis
couraging bumps from all directions.
But Higgins IS a fighter. and he is
going out this year to make valiant
attempt at instiiling real fighting spirit
into his players.
1t appears that the morale of the
Cardinals is in need of a thorough
house cleaning. The club lacked gin
ger last season. But if Higgins sue
ceeds in developing several of his re-
cruits and getting away to a good start
in the coming race, who knows but
what the downtrodden Cardinals may
find themselves? True, they are
scarcely a strong enough combination
to be contenders for the pennant, but
that they will make a hard fight to
get out of the ruck is certain, for a
last place club has every incentive to
better itself, and a few good breaks
may put heart in the Cards.
Bill Doak, Lee Meadows and Leon
Ames form the backbon of Hug
Sins's pitching staff and all three are
highly respected by National league
batsmen. If some of the other twirl-
ers will come thru for Higgins the
team will be able to start the ason
with a fairly balanced sharp-shooting
corps.
Material Not Bad.

Miller Of last years infield as a nu-
cleus, Higgins has healthy herd of
recruits who will fight it out for the
shortstopping job, while Bescher,

If Higgins is given free rein to
run his club this season. the chances

lNenhanced. The scrappy Card pilot
has heen held down for several Years
and there are a good many baseball
critics who firmly believe that what he
needs most of all to assist in build
ing up a winner is a clean path ahead.
Higgins has been a conscientious and
hard working manager. and he de-
serves better fortunes than he has had
for several years past.
1t is a toss-up now as to what the
Cards will accomplish next summer,
and altho they don't look like first
division prospects no@, it will be poor
judgment to pick them for a last place
finish.

CARDS., POOR BET
Few Diamond Critics Can See

Higgins, However, Has Some
Good Material on Squad.
BY JACK XEIOCK.


New York, March 1.-THE St Louis
Cardinals will open the season rated
as selling platers' by most of the
critics. They will be ''long odds for
a first division finish to any of the
sportive ones who want to back them,
for on paper they are one of the
weaker clubs in the senior league
But the status o: any ball club on
paper and the capers it may cut in a
championship race are often two vast
ly different things. The Braves of
1914 furnished a vivid example.
Miller Higgins and his athletes
have long, hard row to hoe in bet
terinE their position in National
, league company. They finished the
season of 1916 tied with the Reds for
the Sub-cellar berth. They simply
did not have the punch after the first
few weeks of the season and their
prospects for 1917 are none too bril-
liant.
During the winner Manager Hug
gins wore out more shoe leather than
any other National league pilot in
hunting for players. But Higgins
was unsuccessful in pulling off any
really big deals. for rival managers

Representative Noble Is Against
Utilities Commission.
Labette Man Calls 1t sThe Pub
lie Useless Commission"
ONLY A POLITICAL MACHINE
1t Affords No Relief to Ship
pers, Noble Declares.
Would Serve in Legislature
Without Salary for Chance.

If he come to the legislature in
1919-and it is quite probable he will
come if he be a candidate-R. NJ.
Noble of Labette county, will fight to
abolish the public utilities commission.
Noble declared today he would give
his winters salary as a lawmaker for
an opportunity to wipe the commits
sion off the map.
In the judgment of the member
from Labette county, the j. L. Brls-
tow commission should be listed as
the public useless commission,
rather than under its present title He
declared that the commission is not
only one of the most expensive lux
uries in the state, but likewise one of
the most worthless and useless. Ex-
cept to promote political activities,
Noble believes the state commission
has accomplished nothing.
You don't know how glad l would
be for an opportunity to vote to abol-
ish the state public utilities commits
sion, or the useless commission as it
should be termed" said Noble. Il
don't know of anything 1 could do in
the legislature that would give me
greater pleasure. If I really thought
1 could cast the deciding vote to put
the commission out of business,
would gladly give up my salary for
the entire legislative session and serve
for nothing.
NOftnIeSS ana Useless.
In my judgment the state has no
commission which is more worthless
or useless L think | have kept in
fairly close touch with the alleged
work of the commission. But if it has
established one principle or laid down
one rule that has been of benefit to
anyone, 1 have failed to find it. That
commission costs the state of Kansas
thousands of dollars year. And what
does 1t do? 1t rides up and down the
state on railroad passes, gives jobs to
a lot of people and helps to build up
political machine that simply wouldn't
be tolerated if the taxpayers knew the
facts. l sincerely hope the time may
come when l shall have an oppor-
tunity to vote to abolish the commits
sion. 1t seems to me the legislature
could not serve the people better
Bartlett, Kansas. He is serving his
third term as a member of the legisla-
ture from his district.
This talk about relief to the ship
pers through the state commission is
simply bunc of the worst kind" SAID
the Labette county representative. IF
the commission ever afforded relief to
anyone, l don't know who was looking
when it was done. And yet, 1 am ad-
vised the state spends $4,000 a year
or more to keep up a political ma
chine under the guise of commission
that affords relief to the shippers and
persons who have business with the
public utilities and common carriers
of the state"

FOUR "oYsTER" MONTHS.
It's Not Safe to East Them Every
Month With r. in 1t.

Lawrence, Kan, March THE old
idea that the oyster season included
all months in which there was an "r''
is too broad. Students in food bac-
teriology in the University of Kansas
have been experimenting with oysters
and have learned that the safest time
to eat raw oysters is in November, De-
cember, January and February.
Oysters hibernate these months and
there are fewer bacteria in the shells.
Students found that shell oysters con-
tain fewer bacteria than 'tshucked'
oysters. Germs in oysters are not
killed in making oyster stew because
the process of barely curling the edge
of the oyster when it is put into hot
milk a few minutes does not destroy
disease-producing bacteria in the
oyster. Escalloped Or fried oysters
are much more likely to be free of
harmful bacteria.
Oysters are contaminated by grow
ing or floating them in waters con-
tanning sewage from neighboring
cities.
