Major Ivory Hunters
VIII Watch Southern
Avalanche of Young Bali Players and Promising Prospects
Will Make Dixie Major Happy Hunting Ground
nu a nrnrrr
BOB PIGUE-

tank-town diamonds with their feats
at last get the chance to make good
In the Southern that heretofore has
been denied them on account Of the
fact that each manager thought he
absolutely had to have men who had
peen 70 the majors before he really had
any ball club.
In every c%antonment in the country
there were young players who had all
the eafmarks of coming stars. They
are fired with the ambition that only
youth gives to make good In profess
sional baseball and when they report to
the eight clubs in Dixie's major, they'll
make good or die in the attempt.
Though they will be facing an unusual
ly hard row in hitting the offerings
OF the star pitchers who will be ar
rayed against them, 1t will serve as a
baptism OF fire to them, and when they
make good, 1t will be no fluky qualifi-
cation and they'll have the conscious
ness that they are ready for a trial at
The scouts who win visit the South
this year about mid-June or July will
have the surprise Of their lives wait
Ing for them, for they're going to see
the youngest ball clubs that a league
OF the classification Of the Southern
ever used.
Many Service Men.
And there'll be pitchers, catchers, in
fielders and o~utflelders who formerly
wore the khaki Of their country who
will be listed In the ranks Of the eight
clubs. This feature Ia to be taken
care Of, and the league will be chock
full Of service men.
1t is a certain fact that the South
,ern league club owners are going to
make many sales to the majors when
the 1919 season a been concluded, fof
the greatest development OF players in
the history Of any league is going Ia
take place during the 1919 baseball race
Teams of 1920 In the big ring will be
well represented with young players
who cavorted In Dixie during the sea-
son which is now approaching at q
rapid pace.

BOARD FAILS
 TO FUNCTION EMERGENCY
(From Anchorage Times)

tFrOm AncnOraSo 11meSJ
 No money available, no townsite improvements, was the meat of the nut Mayor John F. Coffey gave the hungry members of the Anchorage ad- visory board to crack at the special meeting last night held in the town site office. The mayor-editor received his information first hand from MT. Gerig, engineer in charge, who in turn was advised to this effect by William c. Edes of Washington, who in this case acts as the actual chief advisor as we'll as railroad commissioner.
 Following this bomb, that shattered hopes of additional sidewalks, street improvements, water main extensions and other minor Improvements at this time, Chairman F. M. Boyle stated that the meeting was open for remarks, complimentary and otherwise, to the advisory citizens who form the board.
 Like the call to meals, the opportu- nity was seized upon by several mem bers who realize their duty to their constituents, and strange to say, the question of dogs, their uses, abuses and pedigree, was thoroughly dis cussed, to the end that the overworked mayor was appointed to can the dogs.
 A graduating scale of tax will be imposed on all dogs, and rules and regulations passed fully covering the ever-present dog nuisance that is be- coming a menace to life and property. Many and various complaints were re- ceived by the board from law-abiding citizens and taxpayers, setting forth the depredatiOns committed and pray ing for immediate relief The ques- tiOn of livestock being allowed to roam over the town lawns and private gardens received due consideration, and this nuisance will be abated through proper and drastic channels.
 During the course of the lengthy meeting the fact was prominently brought out that the territorial legis- lature passed a law at the last ses- sion providing for a board of seven trustees and mayor for all unincor- pOrated towns. The act gives the trustees epower to pass laws, levy taxes, fix penalties and other powers applicable to all well-regulated and WelI-cOnducted towns such as Anchor age.
 Several of the members were in favor of taking advantage of the law and disbanding forthwith. But after due consideration and deliberation it

It was the opinion Of the committee
members, however, that Mr.. Miller
would not be recalled and that no fur
ther witnesses would be asked to come
before the committee in its considera-
ton of the treaty. Some members
want to ask that Colonel House, who
still is in Europe, be called to answer
questions about the league, but the
general expectation is that the pro-
posal will be abandoned because too
great delay would result.
The Republican senators who have
agreed on reservation program are anx-
ious that the treaty be disposed of at
the earliest possible moment and it is
believed they will try to impress that
sentiment at the forthcoming confer
ences with Senator Lodge and others.

In the face Of this literal certainty
that we will have to combat influenza
again next year, we are totally uMpre-
pared to do so. Medical science knows
little more about influenza today than
it did year ago when the scourge
was spreading like prairie fire over
all the world. For this reason, the
doctors are making elaborate and ex-
tensive research into the cause and
effect Of the disease in order to try to
be better prepared for the next out
break. Medical men are hopeful Of dis
covering specific remedy for the flu
as was done in the cases of yellow
fever, diphtheria, and typhus fever.

SAYS FLU IS
COMING BACK

Washington, Aug. Eff you hops
to keep your health this autumn, get
yourself in the pink of physical condi-
tion, and take all possible precautions
to avoid infection. For the flu is 60
ing to hit Us again, and the amount Of
damage it will do depends largely upon
how well we prepare for It. This is the
cheering message Of Dr.. Otto Geier Of
Cincinnati, secretary of the American
Medical association.
Alnssdy the vidtation Of the most
dramatic and destructive plague Of
modern times is beginning to grow dim
in the memories Of many people, and
this despite the fact that there are re-
mindsrs Of II svsEywhere. Nearly sv.
eryone who has travelled during the
past year, and inquired for old friends,
has heard again and again the depres-
sing words, che disd Of the flu."
Nearly everyone has noticed, too, the
surprising number Of women with hort
hair. Some Of these women are afflict-
ed with artistic inclinations, but most
of them gave up their browning glory
reluctantly after having the flu. In
deed, in some sections the flue is said
to have created quite a vogue for
bobbsd hair.
Short hair il the least serious Of the
after effects Of influenza. Doctor
Geisr says that II will add 40 per cent
to the mortality rate for the next five
years. This means that 40 per cent
more people will die than would have
died had there been no flu. They will
die because this strangely weakening
disease has sapped their resistance to
other diooaseA
These fearful after effects of the flu,
even moro than the number Of lives 1t
destroys ut once, will make it nation
al calamity which we can i'll afford to
pass through again. The country Is
strewn with men who thought they
were in their prime and who got over
the flue only to find that they were
old and shout done; with women who
no longer can be wives or mothers since
they hnd the flu, and with chill !ren
whose growth nas been checked. Ono
or two more winters with such epiieni
les and the United States will have
suffered almost a. much loss Of human
power - eome European countries did
through the war.
In support Of his claim that tile In
fluenxa epidemic win recur, DR.. 0eier
cites the record Of tho nearly allied
disease, h gripps, which appeared IN
epidemic forn In 1850. Il "a ~
