BETTER GAMES WITH
MOIST BALL BARRED
Pitcher Quinn Says Fielders
Won't Heave So Wild. -
Yankee Finger Takes Banishment OF
Spitbail PhiIosophicalIy, but Is
Afraid There viii Be Too
Much Hitting.

Jack Quinn, Yankee pitcher, takes a
view of the banishrnent of the spit ball
which is essentially that Of a spit ball
pitcher. He doesn't mourn It's passing
for any effect 1t may have on him.
He says he will be q good pitcher
without it, which Is the proper spirit,
but he thinks the fans will get too
much hitting without it. His point is
that the games at present are just
about right and such scores as to
which will be more frequent under the
new rules, will send fans out of the
parks before the game is over.
Quinn is right In one way, says a
writer in the Buffsio Courier. A pro-
fusion of runs is not wanted by the
fans. Nor are onedded games. There's
no dissatisfaction with scores as they
are and no demand for any marked
increase in batting. But the fan does
object to pitching by other than nat
ural means, hence his hostility to tho
spit ball, shine ball, emery ball, thumb
ball and Ill the hybrid ilk.
For esthetic reasons, If for no other
the spit ball should have been
thrown into the ash heap, but there's
still another benefit its snuffing out
will bring. The game will be better
off because the fielding will be cleaner
and numerous long drawn out games
will be missing. There will be many
less wild throws with no slippery ball
to throw. Every inflelder In the big
leagues will rejoice when the time
comes that the specter of getting hold
Of saliva ball and fiinglng it over g
baseman's head no longer torments
him.

PAY OF OLD TIMERS

In these days when scores Of
players are receiving more than
$1,000 q season it Is refreshing
to look back some 40 years to the
day when Old Hoss Radbourne
signed his first major league
contract for $3.50.
Radbourne was unquestiOn-
ably the greatest pitcher of his
time. 1t was he who developed
the curve ball that Mack Mann,
Arthur Cummings, Jim Devlin
and other pitchers had expert
mented with. 1t was he VINO
first utilized a change of pace.
and who originated the idea of
walking a heavy hitter to take
a chance with q lighter one.

Showing kaiser's Viciousness.

The Germans, in setting fire to the
Louvain library, totally destroyed not
only the printed books numbering
from 100000 to 100000 volumes and
nearly 1000 manuscripts which the
library contained, but also the famous
university halls, thus destroying in
three days that which had taken five
centuries to build up. Only once be-
fore in history has such disaster
been inflicted upon the world, when
in A. d. CAB, the Callph Omar, with
blaSphemy only equaled by that of the
kaiser, destroyed the library of Alex
andrla in the name of God, and that
is of very doubtful authority.-Chi-

SALTS IF BAcKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for While u
Your Bladder ls Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region 1t
generally means you have been eating
too much meat. says well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overwOrks the kidneys In their effort
to filter 1t from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated.
and when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful In glass Of
water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with llthia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts Is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

SELECTS BANCROFT AS KING
Manager CraVath of PhiIlles Thinks
His Shortstop Is Best in Ma
tional League.

Manager Cravath of the Phillies de-
clares that he has the king of all
shortstops in Dave Bancroft. This
of course will be disputed by differ
ent managers in the National league.
Cravath's assertion reopens the old
argument as to who is the king of
that particular position since Hans
Wagner retired.
II think Bancroft the greatest
shortstop that ever played the posi-
tion," said Manager Cravath. "Of

course, l am talking about his field
ing ability. He is not the best hit
ting shortstop in the game and not
the best base runner, but he does
well enough in both to be considered
star. When 1t comes to handling
grounders, playing for batters and
taking throws at second base l do
not think there is another man play
ing that position his equal"

CUBA WANTS BIG FIGHT

Cuba Is after the fight between
Dempsey and Carpenter. Ha-
vana sports declare that the
island is the best place on the
map to hold the proposed bat
tie and the only thing that re-
mains is for some promoter to
come forward and offer a half
million or so for the bout and
pull it off in Havana. Things are
going full swing in the island at
present and the fight promoters
figure that with an advertise
ment like the Dempsey-Carpen-
tier match to draw more people
there the little island would be
the liveliest place in Christen-
dom.

ExTERMINATE RATS.
IS APPEAL BY US.

WASHINGTON. June 25-Calling
plague in several American and Next
can gulf ports and renewing his warn
ing regarding the Introduction of the
plague from Mediterranean ports
geon General Hugh S. Cumming today
urged communities throughout the
country and especially along the coast
to inaugurate rat determination cam
paigns.
"Bubonic plague is primarily a dis
ease of rodents, especially rats said
General Cumming, land the disease
can be controlled effectively by mea-
sures directed against the rats Ex-
termination of rats also is to be de-
sired because Of the tremendous econ
omic damage they cause"
According to conservative estimates
by the public health service based on
numerous surveys there is at least
one rat for every person in the United
States. The annual upkeep per rodent
was computed by the same authori
ties as $3.50 in Great Britain, $1.20 in
Denmark and 81 in France The depre-
dations of the rats in the United States
will very probably exceed the esti
mate for Great Britain.
One half a cent a day considered
conservative, but even on this COM
putation, it costs the United States
S1S0,000, 900 a year to support its rat
population. This does not include
mice.
The United States public health
service is prepared TO detail trained
experts to assist communities in or
ganizing the fight against rats" said
General Cumming. Many Of our Of
ficers have had extensive practical
experience in this work and know how
to make it really effective.
The health service has just pub
lished a bulletin dealing with methods
for rat destruction. Copies may be
obtained by addressing the United
States public health service, Washing
