Until 1890 the Pittsburgh club was
known as the ''Alleghenies." That was
the year it had one of the worst teams
in its history-and Chicago, captained
and managed by Arson, one of the best.
The season was nearing it's close. Chi
cago was racing into the stretch with
Brooklyn. The Colts had five-game
series scheduled with the Alleghenies
who were playing $50 base ball at that
time.

exclaimed Cap jubilantly. before the
series began. whereupon the Pirates, to
the astonshment of the base ball world,
won every one of those five games and
beat the Colts out of the pennant, caus-
ing Arson TO roar:
They're pirates-thats what they
are-d-- pirates"
The newspapers printed the yowl of

DOC WITH RABIES B|TESLOCA[
VETERINARIAN; WARMING GIVEN

That an epidemic of rabies is inev-
liable in Phoenix unless great care is
exercised by persons owning animals,
is the belief of DR.. H. E. Gerdes, well
known veterinarian. Dr. Gerdes bases
his belief on the discovery of a case of
hydrophobia in a dog at 308 North
First avenue.
DR. Gerdes, who was called to attend
the dog last Sunday, was himself bit
ten on the hand and as a result has
been forced to undergo the Pasteur
treatment
According to information, secured by
DR. Gerdes, the mad dog attacked sew
eral animals. including dogs cats,
chickens and horses, in the Immediate
vicinity, before it was discovered that
he was suffering from rabies AS re-
suit, it has been necessary to kill sew
eral valuable pets
Despite the fact that every effort was
made to kill all animals bitten by the
dog, il is stated that several escaped.
