GREAT VICTORY FOR SCIENCE


The news from Hawaii indicates

its cure Is accomplished with refined

One Of Matty's Big Uiss
By Old Sport

For four straight innings the Giants went without a run. They scored in the fifth. In the sixth and the seventh they made nothing. In the eighth they scored another run and the spectators sat breathless through the first half of the ninth inning, hoping that the Athletics would be blanked, yet scarcely daring to stir for fear that something would happen adversely to New Y ork.
 They took their baseball somewhat harder than they do now. They knew it better for one reason. There wene few spectators in that throng who did not understand the finer points of baseball to a greater degree than the crowds which see baseball these days. More thousands go to baseball games now than in 1905, but of those more thousands there is large proportion, which goes for the show and excitement, which never studied out the problems of base ball because the game was a for
 edgn quantity to them originally and has become an acquired case.
 When the last man was out the fans poured on the field and almost
 mobbed Matty in their ecstacy, the players running to their quarters like frfghtene sheep. For an hour 1t was impossible to get within fifty feet of the clubhouse The crowd surged around 1t and every now and then | 0 player would emerge on the balcony | of the old structure, and throw some | souvenirs to the cheering and speech | nalSine, specta tors.

The other night at the Stratfleld a group of ball fans were discussing the fight for Mfe being waged by Christy Mathewson, erstwhi1e Giant star twir1- CT and generally recognized as the peer of all bOxnlen, at Saranac Lake
 There were many interesting arec- dotes of the noted players career re- vamped, but one of them was told by Uzal Crane, of Fairfield avenue, a former Quaker City fan who, years ago, was an ardent rooter for Connie Mack's Athl cites when they were one of the gre2test baseball machines in the country.
 Fan Crane declared that the great est game the famous Matty ever pitched was in October, 1905, when he emerged victor in the deciding game between the Giants and Ath- 1etics, which brought the Worlds cha mrpfonship to the Polo Grounds. Matty blanked the Athletics in that contest
 If 1t wa. the most momentous game it was also in some respects Matty's greatest game. There may have been other games in which he demonstrated more physical skill and thepe were games in after years in which he was more the wizard of the ball than he was then, but there was no game which firmly establish ed Matty's future, because by 1t he had won, or had helped to win, what was then the greatest prize at stake in baseball, and probably @ greater prize than he realized, or any one who was associated with him at the finno

PREVENTION OF TYPHOID.

Typhoid increases each summer and is particularly frequent among people who have been away on vaca- ton and have drunk water from the brooks, springs and other sources of more or less questionable purity.
 All persons who are going for their vacation to a place are urged to take the typhoid prophylactic vac cine. It protects against typhoid in practically all cases.
 A case of typhoid fever means sev- eral weeks of sickness. Typhoid vaccine is simple to give, easy to take and the price is within the reach of all.

BUSINESS concerns D may be divided roughly into two classes. One goes on the idea that the public doesn't think much. The other believes that public good sense makes the right decision nine times out of ten.
 Concern No. 1 likes to keep away from facts. Concern No. 2is anxious to place all fhe .facts bos- Sible before people.
 It is interesting to watch these conflicting methods working out in the tire industry.
