INFLUENZA HALTED;
mild FORM NOTED
Better Street Car Ventilation
SFavored by Health Of
ficer Fowler.

No additional cases of influenza
were reported to the health depart
mept last night.
The department received the report
of 1.-The death of colored woman
Thursday from the disease.
Although ready to take every pre-
aaltion against an epidemic should
he number of cases Increase. Health
officer Fowler renewed the statement
last night that the seventy patients
Foported yesterday morning should
hot, cause alarm
NiIder Form This Time.
Conversation which the health Off
GER has had with Il number of ply
sicians has led him to believe that
Pnost of the persons i'll at tins time
have the. disease in "a much milder
form than ii took during the epidemic
fourteen months agD.
IN fact. many of the cases tSus far
ha,ye. been so mild that the attending
pftssieians have heen in doubt wheth-
frs the persons were suffering from
Influenza or heavy colds.
Dr. Fowler said last night that un-
ess there is a marked increase in
hes number of cases reported in the
next few days he will not consider
hnT drastic action.
WANTS Better Car Ventilation.
ffr.- Fowler did go on record last
hight however. in favor of having
the street cars keep all ventilators
bpan, The health officer had signs
printed for the railway companies
giving notice to the public that the
centiiators'' must be kept open. DR..
Fowler said he, has learned that on
some of the ears other signs have
been posted stating that two venti-
hators must be kept open.
Section Is of the regulations of
n
as follows:
.;All street railway cars in service
shall be kept weIl ventilated and shall
(haye at all times at least two venti-
qatogs open. preferably one near the
fraaf end of the car and the other at

War is always a dangerous game.

May Rule Out Pugs
Who Loaf in Ring

Anent the discussion in New York
regarding the shaping Of code TO
prevent boxers from holding and
wrestling in the ring, Jim Jeffries,
former heavyweight champion, sug-
gests remedy that is said to be
the best ever offered. Jeffries would
chase fighters who persist in holding,
and where possible withhold their
share of the receipts.
THE art of holding and wrestling
was not SO popular in my day." said
Jeffries, land as result there was
little of it done. Fighters knew when
they got into a ring they were sup
posed to battle. The crowd took care
of the man who tried to stall by
holding and tugging, and usually
they did not last long. There's only
one way to rid the game of the evil
and that is to chase them immediate
ly. They'll soon learn they are on
the wrong track, and they will
change their style or get out of the
game"
Kid Mccoy shares Jeffries' opinion.
Mccoy declares the practice of hold
ing or tugging at an opponent is al
stunt that has been developed in the
past ten years. He opines that fistic
fans are not as particular now as
they used to be. and the Indifference
has resulted in the loafers developing
some system by which they can get
thru without being hurt.
Il only recall a few boxers who
tried to hold when l was battling"
said Mccoy. "and we always had a
remedy for them: we'd simply fight
them off. The boxing authorities
are losing lot of valuable time try
ing to figure a system to beat these
birds. Give 'em the gate, that's sure
cure, and insideN Nof QUE year the
game will be practically free of the
loafers." Mccoy added that the box
Ing codes of today penalize the real
fighter and make it easy for the
staller.
In New York there is an agitation
on to have referees warn boxers who
hold, three times. If they fail to
break and fight then, the agitators
would have them chucked from the
ring and their money withheld Nc
Coy believes the fans should stand
by the referees and help them to
make boxers fight. The New York
code has one rule against holding in
the clinches, but no immediate
remedy is suggested.

OF Detroit. Stanage's runners up
We're Ray Schalk, of Chicago, and

league stars who have been offered
for sale to the local club II is be-
lieved some other city than New
Orleans. where the Indians have
trained for Ave years, will be selected
for the 1921 camp.
Ray Schalk, premier catcher Of the
White Soy. tells why catchers make
good managers. Its like this" Ray
said. THE catcher is back there
running the game, calling for GER
tain forms of pitching, and generally
looking after things. The whole
playing field is IN front of him, and
he can see what is going on all the
time. You know a catcher has to
hold up his pitcher, watch all the
base runners. call for the kind of
pitch that will best fool the batsman
and come in such manner that the
baseman will have to play into the
hands of the fielders. I suppose this
training to do several things at once
sharpens catchers senses, so when
he becomes manager he is all
trained to take in the entire field at a
glance. Hawever. l have no ambition
to become a manager
