ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 2.-The cpl

which has caused the death of more
than 100 persons in three Missouri
counties, has spread into Arkansas, it
was learned today. Six have died at
Luxow, Ark, in two days. Physicians
are treating over 200 cases, but are
able to do little more than ease the
victims pain. Flies are believed re-

Towns in the grip of the malady
include Kenneth, Senath, Townley

The arrest of two men at Kennett,

Catcher Was Attraction at
Game of Sailors in England

And very glad of their liberty were
the teams, gladder still to be feel
ing the ball again in their mits. All
the men were hard as nails and as
bronzed as old brown boots. They
lined up in their regulation playing
uniforms, with the names of their
respective ships writ large across
their chests. Most of them were
more 1.-THE than hefty, but there were
some big fellows. too.
The masking Of the catcher caused
almost a sensation. and all through
the game he was edged about by an
over-curious throng Of spectators. 1t

ber-necks that any danger lurked in
the vicinity. Fortunately no rubber

"OId Ginger" the Catcher.
It may or may not strike you in
the same way, but to me it was a
wonderful tribute to "Old Ginger" as
we called the catcher. He won our
profound admiration, and there were
more than a few lost balls, that
mostly never came back from the
little wood into which they crashed
with Juvenile members Of the spec

No sooner had the American. hcet

from the various ships were on rhore
playing a baseball game. This game
practically unknown In Inslano'

created considerable interest and an
account of the contest written IN
naive manner by the correspondent

calls the game a match, as the Eng

clares that the masking of the catch

great crowd stood behind the worthy
hall stopper watching the curves sail

goes on to say that he never muned
a one. In fact the catcher was the
big object OF interest to the crowd,

Here is the Englishman's wr1teup
of the American national game:
For the first time in this part
there is no need to be more precise
baseball has been played. the play
ers being American sailors. The
match was witnessed by senior and
Junior officers of the British and
United States navies.
Play from start to finish was fast,
and the spectacular event aroused
the greatest local interest, although
the match was in no way advertised,
except from one interested mouth to
another.
- The match was between teams
drawn from two American ships. One
day perhaps the names of the ships
may be mentioned, but not here, If
you please. Discretion is always the
better part of censorship.
