MITCHELL CANNOT
REPRESENT CHICAGO
Heydler Says Cub President Ia
Ineligible to Attend
League Session.
MANAGERS ARE BARRED
Constitution So Stipulates--
Hermann FayOrs Heydler
for President.
By FREDERICK @. LIEB.

Fred Mitchell, manager OF the Chi
cago Cubs, will not be permitted to rep-
resent the Chicago club at the annual
meeting of the National League which
will be held here next Tuesday. Acting
President John A. Heydler of the Ma
tional League yesterday notified Charles
Weeghman of the CUBS that under tho
National League constitution Mitchell
Is not eligible to represent the club i'll
the councils OF the league.
Mitchell has superseded Weeghman
as president Of the Chicago Nationals.
Weeghman wired Heydler yesterday
would not be able to represent his
club at next Tuesdays conference, but
that the interests of the Cubs would
be looked after by Mitchell aud William
Vecck, recently elected to the vice.
presidency of the club.
The constitution of the National
League provides that each club shall
be ent ed 20 two representatives. but
says IT, no man under contract as
manage may represent the club. A.
the time that the original announcement
came from Chicago that Mitchell would
become president-manager Of the Cubs
We called attention to the fact that
unde SeCtion 90 OF the National League
Mitchell could not be seated al a Ma
tional League meeting SO long ~ he
retained the management Of the Chicago
club.
There is no SUCH limitation on man
ayers In the American League. where

and Clark Griffith. manager of the
Washington club. regularly attend meet
inss. Section So originally was written
into the National League constitution
to prevent club owners from sending
their managers to the league meetings.
as they were deemed important enough
to bring all the club executives to-
gether.
Section So reads as follows:
AT every meeting each ci'i0 shall he
entitled to two representatives, and 20
have in addition thereto any OF ita Off
GERS or eX-officers present but no club
shall be permitted to send as representa-
tive any person under contract or en-
gagement to it as a ball player o. maI-

Negsie Mcnamara, the Australian
cvel,st who came here in 1918 and has
made Newark his home ever since. and
Jake Magin, who is from over on the
Jersey side. last night were crowned six
day race kings Of 1918 before a throng
Las been damned with. With stamina
un!mpaired. courage mistaken and speed
undimmed by their six days Of effort
they flashed to the fore in the series OF
sprlnts that marked the wind up and set
led the victory.
They rode their rivals into the boards
~ the last hours desperate pedallng.
Burst followed burst in the speed satur-
MALTA, and at the completion OF the
majority of the cyclonic skins of the
saucer the black thatch of Mcnamara
ar the tawny head of Magin was seen
fronting the pack.
Second place went TO youthful Eddie
Madden OF Newark and his veteran part
ner. Frank Cory of Australia. The
iair rode a heady race under the direc-
lion of Eddie Root, who made them hus-
land their energies during the week.
Alfred Grenia of Australia and Fred
Tin of Boston, the two old veterans,
pulled down third prize money. They
ode a game race, but could not hold to
the terrific pace maintained by the
members OF the two leading teams in the
'lnal speed bursts. They rosed out Law
renee and Hanley. who finished fourth.
The point standing OF the first four
teams was: Mcnamara Magln, 1871:

MaEin Again beaten.

MAIDEN came up from fourth position
on the seventeenth mile and easily cap
tured the heat. Once again Magin was
found wanting. It was apparent that
Mcnamara would have to do some SEN
sational riding to hold his teams ad-
vantage Madden and Cory seemed get
ting stronger every minute
Hill headed the field in the drive for
the line on the eighteenth speed burst
with Mcnamara finishing second. Magin
got out front and slowed down the pace
at the start of the nineteenth speed
burst Madden hung close to him and
when Jake hit the pace up was right
with him. Kopsky suddenly jumped the
two and went to the front. on the bell
lap, however. Magln flashed to the fore
and beat Madden for first place. Mad
den came strong but made his bid a bit
too late to catch Jake,
Mcnamara went out and grabbed the
twentieth sprint away from Cory.
There was considerable jockeying pre-
ceding the twenty-first sp-iut. Halstead
suddenly jumped to the front and opened
up a sixty yard lead. After Halstead
was caught Kopsky and Coburn in
quick reliefs went out front and by
Wild riding opened up half lap on
the field. After a stern chase of more
than a mile Mcnamara pulled the pack

Kopsky won the twenty first sprint with
Magin and Madden getting second and
third places.
Cory nosed out Mcnamara in the
drive for the line In the twenty-second

of cholera if hogs are sick.

BY making an internal examination
of dead hog, cholera can be positively
recognized. Veterinarians sometimes
Kill sick hogs to make post nortem ex-
aminations. The spleen or melt, the
Emphatic glands, the kidneys and blad-
der should be examined. When hog
has cholera the spleen or melt is fra
quently enlarged, soft and very dark.
In health the lymphatic glands are
light gray in color. In case of cholera
they are usually very dark, sometimes
almost black. If cut across with a
sharp knife, blood red. spots from the
size of pin point to larger than pin
head are usually found. Two large
glands that are easily found lie just nm
der the skin between the hind legs.
When the hog has cholrea these blood
red spots are frequently found on the
surface of the kidneys and inside the
bladded. One hog is not likely to have
all these symptoms, but will most Ger.
tainly have some of them if it has chol-
era.
Another symptom frequently found
when hogs have been sick with cholera
for several days or two or more weeks
is the presence of button ulcers in large
intestine near its junction with the
small intestine. This is a sure symp.
tom but they are not present when hogs
die quickly. There are many other
symptoms but they may. also be caused
by other diseases as we'll a. by cholera
There is little chance to cure cholera,
50 every effort should be made to pre-
vent it. If the germs are kept away,
from the hogs, there will be no cholsra.
When hog dies Of disease the car
Gus should be completely burned. Buz-
Yards should be shot on sight (There Is
no 1aw to protect buzzards). An DOES
should be confined when there ID an
outbreak Of cholera In the community.

AS sequel to the above we wish TO
state that our team made an excellent
showing against school ten times as
large as ours. Also the players were
taller than our men, gaining the lead
in that way.
The % Terrorsn defeated Pueblo by
score of 1913; Golden, the strong
northern champions, by score of Is
to 81, and Leadville by score of 2e
to So, using their second team in the
last half in every game except the one
with Glenwood. The players were
heard to say that they were afraid that
if the second team was put into the
game, that wc would double up on the
score. The ''Terrors" had more than
trebbled the score in every game until
they came to the western slope, where
they met stronger teams.
n If our team defeats Leadville and
Aspen on our floor, the players viii
take the trip to Boulder to play the

CONTROL OF HOG CHOLERA

Hog cholera is caused by germ
There is only one kind of germ that
causes hog cholera, and cholera germs
will not cause any other disease. Sleep
ing in dust will no more cause hogs to
have cholera than it will cause child
to have measles.
Cholera is spread by sick hogs prowl-
ing about and by hogs dead of cholera
being eaten by other hogs or by dogs,
buzzards, 'possums, etc. Those animals
then track the germs wherever they go.
Rain may wash the germs into stream
that will carry them for miles and in
feet herds that drink from such streams.
People frequently carry cholera germs
on their shoes from one hog pen or
lot to another.
1t is not always possible to tell posi-.
lively whether sick hog has cholera.
The most dependable symptoms are q
fever, an inflammation Of the eyes, with
possibly a cumming Of the lids so that
tie eyes will not open, and the fact
tAat the disease spreads from one hog
to smother oi from one herd to another
1eddsning of the skin back of the ears
sd u tKs under portion Of the body
A1Do indicates cholera. Be suspicious
