AVOID HOG CHOLERA GERMS

So That They May Be Cleaned

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Among the suggestions made by the
United States department Of agricul'
ture to minimize the danger Of in
Producing hog cholera germs are the
following:
Hog houses, lots, and pastures
should be located away from streams
and public highways, and the houses
and lots should be arranged 80 that
they may be cleaned and disinfeeted
readily. They should be exposed as far
as possible to sunlight, which is the
cheapest and one Of the best disin-
fectants. Hog lots should not be used
for yarding wagons and farm imple-
ments and should not be entered with
team and wagon, particularly when
loading stock for shipment to market.
AS further precaution no one should
be allowed to enter hog lots unless
there is assurance that he does not
carry infection Farmers and their
help should disinfect their shoes be-
fore entering hog lots after returning
from public yards, sales, and neigh
boring farms.

INDIANS NEARING
PENNANT VICTORY

Thirteen games are left on the
schedule of the Cleveland Indians,
now leading the American League. II
they win seven and lose six, which
is about as bad as anyone could figure
their strength, they will finish the
season with ninety-six games won
and fifty-eight lost.
To beat thN the White Sox will
have to win eight OF their remaining q
ten games, while the Yankees will
have to win every one of their re-
naming nine contests.
In the National League eight games
are left on the Brooklyn schedule. II
they do no better than break even
they will finish with ninety-one won
and sixty-three lost.
The Giants have twelve games to
play. They will have TO win eleven
of them to beat the Robins in the
event of a ffty-hfty split for the
Brooklyn crowd.
Sixteen contests are left for the
Reds. They would have to take all
of them to win over the Dodgers, ig-
noring the Giants chances.
Therefore, it may be considered as
practically certain that the Indians
and the Dodgers will meet in the
1870 worlds series, although ex-
traordinary things may happen to the
Indians, in view of the fact that they
have left a series with the White Sox.

HIGH SCHOOL GRIDRON
LADS CKLED OUT HERE

Football starts with the opening
of school today. Many . lad who has
been working hard this summer with
the idea Of making the team went
to school today more intent upon
listening to the "plunk" Of the pro-
late spheroid than the instructions
given him by his teachers.
That interim between the answer
ing to roll call this morning and the
bell for dismissal counted as nothing
to those youngsters who merely bided
their time utnil football practice.
Prospects for football Inc all the
schools are bright Central. Tech,
Business, Eastern and Western candi-
dates are all out today getting into
the preliminaries without wasting
time.
Central Will have a large system
this year. Tech, Western and the
others will have a smaller scale but
just as much activity. There will be
plenty OF action this fall. plenty OF
competition, and considerably more
interest in scholastic football on ac-
count of the fact that there are many
new faces in the coaching ranks.

-Four of the Worlds Series con-
tenders-the White Sox, Indians,
Reds, and Giants-are notably
strong at the third corner. Buck
Weaver, Larry Gardner, Heinie Groh,
and Frank Frisch, who play third
base for these respective teams, are
the class among big league third
basemen.
The Yankees also have a brilliant
fielding third baseman in Aaron Ward,
but he Is the weak sister of the New
York Americans at bat. Brooklyn has
n. converted outfielder, Jimmy John
ston. on third base. and though Jimmy
is no Gardner or Frisch. he has COW
cred the position most acceptably TO
Brooklyn fans. In fact Johnston's
work at third base. after spending al
most his entire professional career in
the outfield, is one of the outstanding
features of the season.
It therefore, may be seen AT
glance that no matter which pair OF
clubs finally hook up in the series,
there will be little superiority for
either league at third base.
OF the contending third basemen.
Buck Weaver is the best We place
him at the very top OF the Dig league
third basemen. This season he is
having the greatest season OF his
career. He is hitting .332, better than
at any timo in his career, and has
been getting his full share Of extra
base hits. While he ranks only fifth
among tho contending third basemen.
