Telegraph Typos in
First Try-Out Game

The Telegraph typos invaded the

sessions. the former winning, 17-9,

Young George Wymer. "Chubb"
Kelly and Dewitt wohlfarth pitched
for the day side with considerable

from the night side sluggers. Wymer
lasted one inning. Kelly six and
Wchlfarth two. finishing the game.
Uchtman and Dougherty made up the
battery for the winners. The fielding
and base-running of both clubs was
up to the standard of first of the-sea-
son games. There were no thrills. the
official scorer reported after the game,
but lot of young men were late for
supper.
There was plenty of clouting, the
pitchers not being warmed up prop
erly. Clouser caught a good game,
and he will probably be the final Sc
lection for the Telegraph club. Ucht-
man looks like an able finger when
he has more practice. The fatalities

Employees

Washington, April 15.-Wage in

The Director General also raised
the wages of 1900 sleeping and

will be the remainder, or about
$3.50 per month.
Wages of 10000 dining car en-
ployes were advanced S25 above the
basic monthly minima in effect Jan
uary /. 1918. This will yield approx
mately IS month additional to each
employe, since two-thirds OF this
SIS increase was taken up in the
general wage advance last year.

"Oh, Mamma, Make the
Mean Old Umpire
Treat Us Fairly!"

William +. Knebelkamp, the
new president of the Louisville
club, has issued orders prohibit
ing the use of all naughty words
by his ballplayers. Henceforth
when ane of the Colonels feels
himself aggrieved by a decision
of the umpire. he will not be per-
mitted to relieve his pent-up
emotion by giving vent to a few
well-chosen cuss words. All he
may say is, "Oh, OH" in a low,
agonized tone of voice. Not even
such mild and comparatively in
nocuous expletives as heck
"dern," blame" "bonehead,"
"confounded," or the like will
be allowed. In order to render
the proceedings utterly ladylike
and refined at a baseball game,
it has also been suggested that
the fans be required to manifest
their approval only by giving
the Chautauqua salute. But let
Mr.. Knebelkamp speak for HIM
self, which he does through the
Baseball Magazine (New York;
as follows:
Il know there's never been a
swearless baseball organization
playing professionally, but that's
no sign there can't be. Profanity
is used entirely too freely on the
ballfield. Often ugly remarks, re-
leased during the heat of a bat
tie are waited to the stands,
bringing discomfort and en-
barra assment to the feminine fans.
No one would be more embar-
rassed than l were this to hap
pen i'll my ball park. Ball games
can be won without resorting to
the unrestricted use of impreca-
tions. In fact, firmly believe
that many contests are lost be-
cause the players, hurting cpl
thets back and forth at each
other, or engaging in heated dis
cussions with the umpires, per-
nit themselves to become so
wrought up that their effective
ness in the field and at the bat
is seriously impaired. When a
player is raving mad he is never
so sure to hit the ball or to
cleanly field play. Swearing
incites such a frenzy. Therefore,
since swearing isn't conducive
to mental equanimity, why
should ballplayers yield to the
temptation?"
Mr.. Knebelkamp is dead in
earnest about putting the ban on
profanity. He will do his utmost
to prevent his players from
swearing at one another, at the
opposition, or at the umpires,
and under no circumstances will
he sanction any verbal abuse of
the players by the manager.
Removing the swearwords
from baseball isn't the only re-
form Mr.. knebelkamp hopes to
accomplish. He wants to elimi-
nate the taint of commercialism
from the game and also, to make
the world safer for umpires.

the winners in each bout as they go
along, join his stable. In this way
Barrett says there is nothing to pre-
vent him from developing some real

At all OF these stations quite a num-

many are enlisting for service in the
United States, China, Hawaii or the
Philippines. The majority of those
enlisting desire either to obtain vo-
cational training, to live a life in the

Frence and Belgium. Many former
soldiers who studied French at the

rather than this valuable knowledge

Joe Barrett, Steelton's boxing pro-
moter, is rapidly getting his show
stogether for Wednesday night, April
%, and the veteran says it will sure
ly be worth twice the price charged.
1t will be the first ten-round bout

Two ten and two siX-round bouts will
complete the bill, the top liner be-

his bitterest and cleverest rival for

honors. Any one who say the two
six-round whirlwind bouts between
these two battlers will appreciate
what thrills the longer route will
furnish as the pace they set in their
shorter bouts is entirely too fast to
last the longer distance. and it is
not improbable that one or the other
will take the count before the end,
anyway, it is a surety that no real
sport will lose the chance to be in at
the finish. There is the ten-round

New Method Of Applying
ChIoroform 0bviates the
Nausea Usually Resulting


A new method of administering
chloroform has been brought out In
France by Doctor Guisez. He no long
er applies 1t by the usual compress or
mask placed over the mouth. but in
PRODUCES the chloroform vapor directly
into the lungs through tube running
into the windpipe. The tube method
has already been employed in several
hundred cases and with great sue
cess. Besides being very useful for
operations to be performed on the head
and neck, 1t is Of great interest be-
cause 1t never produces the nausea
which is almost always the result Of
applications of chloroform in the or
dinary fashion, and thus the patient Is
relieved Of cause of suffering. The
effects Of the new method will serve to
explain the reason why chloroform ap-
plicatiOns always produced nausea
when operating by the former method,
for 1t appears evident that the nausea
was caused by part of the chlorO-
form vapors being absorbed by the
esophagus and the stomach. OF course
this is not necessary, for the whole
of the vapors should go to the lungs.
and this result is now reached by the
new method. 1t, therefore, marks quite
progress In the right direction.

Seventeen Species of the
Humming Bird Family Are
Summer Visitors to U. S.

1t is said that altogether II spe-
cies of humming birds are summer Wis.,
itors to the United States, and that
one Of these, the red hummer, is found
on the Pacific coast as far north as
Alaska. The Brazilian forests are
noted for their many varieties of these
magnificent birds, though few speci-
mems are Of somber c6lors. In most
species the bill is straight In few
the bill curves upward at the tip and
In others downward. The length of
the bill differs greatly, that Of "the
sword-bearer" being five inches long,
or longer than the head and body to-
together. while in another 1t is only
one-fourth Of an inch.
T, Among the most plentiful Of hum
ming birds was one to which the name
Chrysolampis mosquitus has been
given. This species was once espe-
cially numerous in Brazil. Venezuela
and the Guianas. but skin hunters have
slaughtered them by thousands, the
skins being exported to be used in the
manufacture Of ornaments and deco
rations.

Mourning Friday.

1t was not always called Good FRI
day. Years ago in Germany it was
frequently referred to as Mourning
Friday. Our early ancestors in Eng
land did not call 1t Good Friday, either,
but Long Friday. Such is the term
in an ancient ecclesiastical law about
1000 years old. The Danes used the
same name, Long, instead of Good
Friday.
The reason for using the word
"long" was doubtless found in the
seeming endless and severe fast prac-
ticed that day. At one time the Span
iards emphasized the solemnity Of
Good Friday by closing all the
churches.
Nowhere else that have happened
to be on Good Friday was the day
so solemnly observed as in Rome. The
city seemed to be in mourning, max
ing all the more inspiring the match

ter's cathedral on Easter.-Philadel-

Why Birds Prefer North
to Nest Year After Year

1t is not an easy question to answer.
1t has been explained that there are
vague promptings Of instinct derived
from long Inheritance; especially the
'homing instinct" which brings the
robin or the oriole back to the very
same nest year after year. But these
explanations really explain nothing
says bulletin of New York state edu-
cation department. This, however, is
true: The vigorous races Of living be-
ings are the children of the north.
That has been true all through human
history and through all the history Of
life on the earth. The birds early
learned to bring forth their young un-
der the invigorating surroundings of
the north, that they might get a right
start In life.

Holding Breath, GargIe, and
Sneezing, Hiccough Cure
400 Years Before Christ

The hiccough epidemic being preva-
lent in mid-western state recently,
man comes forward with a remedy
successfully used by Greek poet 400
years before Christ.
1t is found in ''The Banquet" trans
lated from Plato, and here 1t Is:
'When It came to the turn of Aris-
tophanes to speak 1t happened that he
had hlccough which prevented him; I;
SO he turned to Eryximachus, the
physician who was reclining close by
him, and said: 1T is fair that you
should cure me of my hiccoughs or
speak until 1t Is over 4 will do both,'
said the physician. I will speak In
your turn and you shall speak in mine.
Meanwhile. II you will hold your breath
for some time 1t will subside. If
not, gargle your throat with water
and II 1t still continues take something
to stimulate your nostrils and sneeze |;
do this once or twice, and even though
1t should be very violent 1t will
cease"
