MANY HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.
Taken to Protect Soldiers and Civilians
About Cantonments.

Washington. d. G., May .Extraordi
nary measures have been taken by tn
public health service to prevent com
munication of disease between civil an
military populations where militar,
camps have been established. This gen
eral scheme of health conservation, con
stitutes what the government official
call "a hitherto unparalleled demonstra
ton in efficient public health organiza
ton and administration.
In twenty states, total of more thar
thirty health zones surrounding the mill
tary camps have been established, eacl
with separate, carefully planned co
operative health organization. The pub
lie health service, the state and loca
health authorities, and the American Rec
Cross combine in this cooperative move
ment. The general plan is to galvanizt
local health authorities into action, tc
support and widen the scope OF state
health authorities, to supplement but
not supplant them. One object is so Il
stimulate and strengthen local and state
health activities that the Improvement
shall be permanent after the guiding
| hand of the federal service has been re-
moved.
An experienced sanitatian has been
placed in charge and given competent
staff Local funds were supplemented
by Red Cross funds aud by funds which
Congress appropriated. Stimulated by
the presence of a large number of SOL
diers, the communities were found to
be eager to pass ordinances to protect
the health of these men.
Health measures adopted in these mill
tary zones have been grouped principal
ly around the control of eommunica Bile
diseases and the precautions include in.
vestigation, prevention, quarantine, hos
pitalizstion and clinical treatment of
these diseases. Isolation hospitals and
clinics have been found necessary in
combating one of the most common dis
eases falling within this class.
Supervision of food supplies, especial
" milk and milk products, is carried out
by systematic inspections and typhoid
and smallpox vaccinations of persons
employed in handling food products. Su-
pervision of water supplies and of dis
posal of sewage and waste are given
special attention. In each zone, a labo-
ratory is used for diagnosis of suspect
ed cases of communicable disease Schools

Yankee Gossip

Third place, Is points behind the
pacemakers, is not SO bad, with the sea-
son q month old and the Yanks coming
stronger all the time.
The Metropolitan Life Band, which
dispensed patriotic concert from the
extreme lower left wing Of the grand
stand, showed gorgeous color scheme
Of sky blue tunics and white trousers.
A couple of the band boys, by the
way, came mighty near to cashing in
their policies. Hannah, Bodie and Witt
all sent wicked line fouls out that way
that scrambled the musicians.
After yesterdays game the Yankees
and Tigers made hurried exit to the
l25th Street station to catch an early
train to Detroit. A game will be
played in Tigerville this afternoon, the
the third game of the current series
here tomorrow afternoon.
If those fellows Bush and Cobb could
only be kidnapped and if they would
never get homesick the Yankees might
prepare at once to play the Giants next
October. This pair somehow managed
to carry the Jungaleers to all their
local victories.
Pratt's early schooling in soccer
saved the day for Russell in the eighth
None but an expert soccerite could pos
sibly have booted Voach's hot lick to
Peckinpaugh in time for double play,
let alone to flag Cobb on a hit-and-run
play.
But for Donie Bush, Murdcrers' Row
might have furnished some excitement
as early as the fourth. The midget
shortstop killed off base hits for both
Baker and Pratt, away deep behind sec
ond. These were the first batters of
the inning, and Pipp followed with
blazing single through Dresser.

Farrell Wins
For Columbia
With Run


Tommy Farrell, as batter, outdid
Tommy Farrell as pitcher yesterday
afternoon when Columbia took hard
earned victory from Brown on his home
run in the tenth inning. This long
drive ended pitchers eduel and broke
tie score at two runs each. The two
teams had been fighting for three ses
sions with the score even, and each
was playing faultless ball with no
signs of weakening by either pitcher.
Columbia's first two runs had been
brought in by Houlihan in the first
inning, and in the third Carol on
Columbia held the lead with her two
runs, but a rally in this frame, when
Farrell lost control for time, netted
two runs.
Knight showed that he had ability
at bat almost equal to that of his
pitching rival by driving in these two
runs with the only two-bagger of the
game. After the third inning the
Brown pitcher had complete control Of
the Blue and White batters, striking
out seven men. 1t was more good luck
Knights that won the game in the
tenth.
Only three errors were made dur
ing the ten innings, clean play char
acterizing the work of both infield and
outfeld on both sides. The excellent
support given Farrell by Buonaguro
and Hauck at shortstop and second
base helped him out of several dan
gerous pinches.
Porter, the Brown shortstop, was
easily the best man in the Providence
teams infield, making a perfect record
of six assists out Of six chances. The
Blue and White had slight edge on
their opponents, however, and to this
may be attributed the victory, if the
luck element be discounted.
The actual records of the game
show that Knight twirled more con-
sistent game than Farrell. He allowed
only four safeties, struck out eight
and allowed but two bases on balls.
His control was we'll nigh perfect and
he had everything on the bali.
Farrell's speed was the feature of
his twirling, his curves not being par
ticularly bewildering. He struck out
six men and allowed eight hits. At
times his control was shaky and he
walked six batters.

Wins Classic
Kentucky Derby
Was Rank Outsider-Escoba
Runs Second, War Cloud
Not in Money

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 11.-Wilmer
Sharpe Kilmer's recent purchase, Ex-
terminator, captured the forty-fourth
renewal of the Kentucky Derby, which
was the feature attraction of the open
ing day at the Churchill Downs race
course here to-day. The event was run
over a sloppy track. The victory of
the rank outsider was a surprise.
Both War Cloud and Escoba. be-
tween whom it was expected that the
fight for the honors would lie, did not
race up to expectations. Escoba fin
ished second, one length behind Exter-
minator, while Viva America, the only
filly in the race, was third, eight
not fancy the going and finished fourth.
Eight of the ten entrants went to the
post. The majority of the record crowd
on hand appeared to favor War Clouds
chances.
Exterminator, chestnut gelding out
of McGee-Fair Empress, was purchased
by Kilmer several days ago, when his
favorite thoroughbred, Sun Briar, was
withdrawn, owing to his unsatisfac-
tory trials in preparation for the fxt
ure. 1t is not believed that the Bing

for Exterminator. If so. the victory
to-day netted him an $1,000 profit on
the investment. The winners share
was about $14,50o, while Kenneth S.
Alexander, owner Of Escoba, received
$4,000, and C. T. Worthington, owner
Of Viva America, $1,000.
Had Veteran Rider
Willie Knapp, the veteran Jockey,
who had the mount on Exterminator,
showed sound judgment and skill in
handling his charge. He rated the
gelding behind the pace for three-quar-
ters of the distance, then went to the
front. He had to shake up his mount
considerably in the closing yards as
Escoba was coming on dangerously fast
and threatening to overtake him.
The horses slipped around the track
in the Shiny mud and at the end both
jockeys and horses were covered with
mud. The route of one and a quarter
miles was covered in 2:10 AS.
Those who took the long chance on
Exterminator profted to large de-
gree, as So ticket on him brought
fancy return of $61.20. A So ticket on
Escoba for second position brought her
followers total Of $490.
War Cloud went to the post heavy
favorite at odds Of SLAB to 81.

PENIS Two CrervS Defeat
Yale on the SchuylkiI

the Yale freshmen preceded the Penn
f1edglings upstream, turned about and
the two crews started from the stake
boats at precisely 5:25 o'clock.
The Penn freshmen, with their short,
snappy stroke, which is characteristic
of the Wright coached crews, immedi-
ately drew away to a quarter-length
lead, which was slightly increased as
the shells shot under the trolley bridge.
Passing the trolley bridge the Yale
freshmen attempted to advance their
stroke. it seemed, with a resultant bed
lam of splashing. Water curled in
grim determination kept the Yale crew
from utter Decentralization. To their
left the blue jerseyed Penn oarsmen
caught the water deftly, withdrew their
oars with machine-like precision and
slowly continued to increase their lead.
AT the head Of the island, as the lit
tie plot of ground in the centre of the
Schuylkill is known, the Red and Blue
freshmen began squirt which carried
them full length ahead Of the Yale
eight, and the Quakers spun over the
finish line in minutes and ID seconds.
The varsity race started at 5:56
the Fairmount Park Boulevard, on
either side of the stream, ready to fol-
low the oarsmen. AS in the freshman
race, Penn Immediately drew into the
lead, and at the trolley bridge it was
evident the race would be a walk
away.
John Fitzpatrick, coach of the
Princeton crew, prognosticated a vic
tory by six lengths and missed it by
only two.
The Yale varsity splashed in an un-
slightly manner, losing power and
morale as the race progressed. Penn,
with its shorter and smoother stroke,
gave the appearance Of almost
doubling the speed of the New Haven
boys.
Coach Mather Abbott of Yale, who
accompanied Averill Hartman, a for
mer Yale rowing star, in a machine
along the course, was, from the look
on his face, greatly disappointed with
the form shown by his crew.
Hyatt, the stroke and the veteran Of
the Yale boat, tried nightly to keep
his crew in order, but the race was
hopelessly gone when the island was
reached, and the Penn varsity, as they
did one week before at Princeton, prac-
tically drifted into victory.
The Yale crew outweighed the Penn
eight about siX pounds to the man. but
Coach Wright had his boat so superbly
rigged and his weight so equitably bal
anced that the matter of poundage
never was an important equation, in
spite of the fact that the conditions
normally favored the heavier crew.
Having beaten the Navy, Princeton,
Pennsylvania will conclude it's season
when it participates in the intercol-
legiate regatta next Saturday at An
napolis.
