BE VACCINATED
 URGES ST0CKWELL
Health Superintendent Says It
 Will Stem Small POx

That the loathsome disease known as smallpox exists to a large extent is noted by Superintendent of Board of Health William Stockwell in his monthly report for August. The doc tor says that those who never have been Vaccinated are always in danger. The report follows:
 Smallpox is one of the most loath some diseases, one which we all fear and one which causes great consterna- t1on among the people when it breaks out, but like all other calamities we think very little about it until 1t ap- pears, we have heard practically nothing of it for several years and have almost forgotten that it exists, but that it does exist is evidenced by the governmen repors, from cities alone, during he week ending May 31, 1919, 656 cases of smallpox were re- ported in the United States,
 Smallpox is always with us, not in the epidemic form of centuries ago, but new cases are developing here and there throughout the coun- try and there is no reason why it may not show up at any time in our own city.
 We do not have great epidemics of
 
 of people have been vaccinated against the disease and are, therefore, prac- tiCally immune to it; even adults who have not been vAccinated since child hood have some immunity, and, as a rule, should they develop the dis ease, do not have it as severe as those who were never vaccinated.
 '"Thos who have never been vac- cinated are always in danger. During the month of May there were report ed from District of Columbia Mary land and Massa Chusetts, seVenty-flve cases of smallpox and seventy-four of the seventy-five had never been vaccinated.
 Vaccination affords protection against the disease for several years, just how long is not certain because the protection Is lost much more quickly by some than others. There fore, to be perfectly safe it is always well for all to be re-vaccinated when ever the disease appears.
 Some few have been opposed to vaccination on the grounds that it was dangerous, but the United States gov ernment reports that, of the 5000, 900 or more men vaccinated during the war, not one death or serious condi- enough for anyone. However, even were there some danger, in connec- ton with the vaccination, the prOtec- ton it affords against such a vile dis ease, would far out-balance 1t"

MINERS SEE PARALLEL
Mine Officials See In Veto of Enforce n,ent Bill Argument That War Emergency Is Passed.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 2s.-Presi- dent Wilson's veto of the prohibition enforcement bill yesterday was ad- vanced today by officials of the United Mine Workers .f Am erica here as an argument in favor of their contention that the war emergency has passed and that the miners therefore are no longer bound by wage agreements en- tered into for the continuation of the war; It is hoped they said, that the action will swing public opinion their way and aid in securing their de- mands for a 30 hour week and 60 per cent. increase in pay, failure of which has resulted in an ordG" for strike of all bituminous coal miners on Novem- Der 1.
 Acting President John L. Lewis of the mine workers today was on his way from Springfield, H., to attend a meeting of the executive board of the organization here tomorrow.

The First Unset

Twenty-seven years ago around this date a bit
later there was supposed to be cncb bet left in
the universe This pipe wager was that John Lawrence
Sullivan would knock out James j. Corbett in jig time
There was one dssenter of note His name was Harry
Weldon, sporting editor of The Cincinnati ENQUIRER
and Weldon earned nation wide fame by picking Cor
bett all seven ways and sticking to his pick through
to the finish. Weldon practically alone, so when
Corbett the Cincinnati writer had earned his fame
To-day the situation is different There are about
as many picking Dempsey as there picking Willard
The champion may have shade, but not as much of
shade in the fan selections the champion usually
carries Whoever wins now, there will be a wild and
wooly flock of YouSos lifting their voices to

Cubs With 3 Hits:
Dodgers Triumph

CHICAGO. June 21.-Al Mamaux
pitched a splendid game against the
Cubs here this afternoon, shutting
them out with three hits, thereby Civ
ing the Dodgers their shird victory of
the series by scope of to 0. 1t was
Mamaux's first victory of the season
after having been defeated four times.
He was never in better form.
Martin and Hendrix opposed the
Dodgers on the mound and the visitors
got to them for ten hits. Three punched
hits and a pass in the fourth inning
gave the Dodgers their first two runs.
With one down Wheat singled, Konetchy
walked and Magee scored both with a
double to centre. Miller beat out an

Jess and John l..

Here is item that may be worth thought
Then, again. it may not. Use your judgment.
When Sullivan fought Corbett John L. was thirty
four years old, three four years more younger
than Willard.
But here's the point. Sullivans last fight before
meeting Corbett with Jake Kilrain, July 8, 1889
He had battle to help him along until he met
Corbett
An interval of three years and three months in
tervened between Suvans Klrain and Corbett fights.
Wizards last battle against Frank Moran in
March, 1916. An interval Of three years and four
months will have separated Wizards last two
Those who indulge in quaint condolences can en-
ploy this for hunch if they to go to it.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-22

The pitching shown by the rival
box men was of high calibre. Clark
selleck held the mound for Yale, while
Bob Kirkland assumed the same role
for Princeton, and each was found for
only six nits. However, Selleck was
more of an enigma IN the pinches.
About three thousand rooters,
mostly alumni from the contending
colleges, were in the stands. while
the Yale Club had several hundred
wounded soldiers as its guests. Half
dozen Tiger cheer leaders vainly
'ried to rouse their team to victory.
he Yale section was led by one cheer
raider, and the Ellis answered his
calls with resounding yells.
Wild Game in the Second
Gray, of Princeton, made the first
hit in opening the second inning, but
he was left stranded on third base.
In Yale's half, Keyes took a trip sky
ward and the New Haven contingent
proceeded to score three runs.
Keyes first allowed Faherty's hit to
roll through him, and Diamond followed
with sacrifice. Kirkland then hit
Murphy Oh the arm. Keycs fumbled
Sawyer's grounder, on which Faherty
scored, and when the shortstop threw
wild to Bade, at third base, to catch
Murphy, the latter continued on to the
plate. Sheehan got Yale's first. hit
when he whacked one to right, tallying
Sawyer. Selleck ended the inning by
popping out to the first baseman.
Selleck went along puzzling the
Princeton batters until the fourth
when, after Keyes had famed for the
first out, Harvey and Bauhan followed
with hits Sedlam reigned in the Tiger
stand, but Selleck frightened, made
Kirkland strike out and forced Stru-
bng to hit a puny foul fly to Diamond.
Yale Man Steals Home
Murphy, the Yale shortstop, caught
Kirkland asleep in the fourth and stole
home for another New Haven tally
He worked Kirkland for pass and
went to second on Sawyer's sacrifice
Sheehan's out put Murphy on third
where he sprinted home and was safe
on Kirklard's high throw to the plate
Faherty got his third hit in the
eighth. and it drove two runners over
the plate. Prann went to second
when Rade threw his groundc~ in to the
right field stands and Boyd reached
first on a pass. Holden popped to
Trimble. but ! aherty smashed one to
centre, scoring both runners.
Bauhan saw to it that Princeton
avoided shutout when, in the eighth
he doubled to left field and scored
on two infeld outs.
:. A number of fast fielding plays en-
livened the prOceedinps
