MORRISON WILL PROBABLY TWTRL
 DECIDING GAME
Robinson or Mclaughlin May Oppose Worry at
 Redwood
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The Barons wind up a ten-game stay at Redwood park this afternoon, when they meet the Little Rock Travellers in the final game of the series. The count now stands one and one. and today's game will de- eide the issue.
 Big Phil Morrison. who has won seven games for the Barons with one defeat. win probably draw the assignment for this afternoon. The em across with lots of speed lately. and If he gets & good start today, ought to hold the Travellers at bay.
 Just who the Travellers will send to the mound this afternoon Is not settled. but 1t Is probable that either Ruhe Robinson or Mclaughlin will oe used.
 Rube Robinson has long been q thorn in the side of Baronial outft. although he didn't have much luck against the Barons last year. Mo- Loughlin is the big right handler se- cured by the Travellers from the Giants, and tho Little Rock boss Is probably anxious to see him In ao- tion.
 The Razorbacks got enough viciousness out of their systems yes terday to do them day or so, ana railbirds who witnessed that en- counter are hoping for the best to- day.
 The Barons lay off Sunday. but open a three game stay at Atlanta Monday. After that they hop the rattIef for Birmingham. bringing the Crackers over for a set of games at Redwood.

TWO FORMER SOY ALSO FILE SUITS. AGAINST CHICAGO
By Associated Press

Milwaukee. Wis. May 12.-The- baseball scandal pot which was sec boiling again yesterday by Happy" Felseh with his charges of crooked ness in the 1917 American league pen nant raoo of the Chicago White ssox and Detroit, received added material today when Sheriff Patrick McManus was given summons for the Chicago American league baseball club to de- fend itself against suits. similar to Fe1sch's filed in behalf of "Swehe" Risborg. former White Sox shortstop, and Joe Jackson. former outfieluer.
 The Chicago American league base ball club is incorporated under the laws of Wisconsin, and service Is sob- tained by sending the summons toathe secretary of state.
 Charles comiskey. president Of the White Sox team. Is at his sunuun or home near Eagle river. Wisconsin. and so far has not been readth ed. Doubt is expressed hero under tho whether he will appear in court hero tomorrow.
 CHARGES ARE DENIED
 Chicago, May 12.-'Every charge made by Happy Felsch against 1HATlen A. 1oHllsAGys lfpuiS 1Oiul%hoy or the White Sox club. is an absolute fa1sehood." Harry Grabiner, secre- tary of the Chicago White Sox said today. after reading statements made In an affidavit fn Milwaukee yeSter- day by Felsch which charged that the two Comiskeys know of fixed" ball games in which the Sox took part in 1917. Both Comiskeys, are out of town.
 Happy Felsch is a discredited man who accepted money to betray his employer and his teammates by throwing games in the 1Sn9 series." continued Mir. Grabtner. What he says Is not really worth comm nting on. but since SO much has been said about 1t. I will say that every word is falsehood.
 "Felsch has not really charged anything. He simply asks lot of silly questions with, q lot of implica- tions in them. It does not take a smart man nor even q smart lawyer to do that"

WILD LEMONS IN PROPULSION
According to Traveller, They Are a
Generous Gift of Nature to
Island Of Norfolk.

Lemons grow wild all over the island
Of Norfolk, British possession in the
South Pacific, according to Thomas J.
McMahon, in the Trans-Pacific Maya
zine. He writes that in every garden
and paddock are clumps Of trees ever
bearing fruit in wonderful abundance,
and Of variety full Of rich juice
and with rind most suitable for
lemon peel.
Little factories, family concerns, are
dotted all over the islands, They are
usually roughly constructed wooden
buildings divided into three rooms.
There, with rather primitive instru-
ments, the women cut and squeeze
the lemons in huge frames, and the
skins are soaked in brine preparatory
to making lemon peel. During the
lemon season, which is most of the
year, the boys and girls are engaged
daily in picking the fruit.
While there are only 800 people
on the island, it could comfortably
and prosperously house 5000 per-
sons, according to Mr.. Mcmahon. The
island is five miles long, three miles
broad and contains 5000 acres.

SAME RESULT, AND CHEAPER
Somewhat Rough on the Cat but Five
Dollars Is Something These
Hard Times.

Expert testimony may be valuable
from scientific point Of view, but
there are often cheaper ways of es-
tablishing certainty, as the follow
ing shows.
An Irish laborer entered a drug
store, and drawing paper bag from
his pocket, poured on the counter a
number of very sticky and unattrac-
tive looking pieces of candy.
"Can you examine this candyT he
asked.
1T looks queer. What's the matter
with it?'' asked the druggist.
"Pizen, Dim thinkin'. Did We liver
see such stuff? Dinnis Mcguire give
thin to me by, an Dinnis is no frind
Of moine."
"Well, can make an analysis"
"All right. Oi'n come in tomor-
row on me way from work."
The Irishman had reached the door,
but he suddenly stopped with his hand
on the latch.
and how much will that analysis
cost me-" he inquired.
Five dollars" was the answer.
The man walked over to the coun-
ter and swept the candy into the bag,
which he replaced in his pocket.

The Peace Don Quixotes.

lie e6CS OOu GRulXOte8.
The propagandists who pretend to
believe that any considerable number
of people in this country are against
peace and in favor of war, and that it
is necessary to put up Fight to
create sentiment in America in favor
of abolishing war as a means of set
ting international disputes, merely
succeed in making themselves pre-
posterous. This nation has never got
into war unnecessarily, and our par
ticipation in the last war in which we
were involved came about under the
leadership of pacifists. The difference
of opinion arises not as to the unde-
STABILITY of war, but as to the best
means of avoiding it. The Don Quix-
otes who dash about fighting wind
mills merely clutter up the scene with
out contributing in the least to the
settlement of the problem of world
peace or disarmament. Merely being
"against war" does not prevent war
any more than disliking smallpox will
stop smallpox, and the superstition
that the public has to be argued with
to keep it from favoring war is Just
as idotic as to claim that similar
campaign would have to be put up to
overcome the sentiment in behalf of
smallpox, fomented by nurses, doctors
and vaccine makers.-National Repub-
lican.

Finding Speed-Rates of Insects.

Experts Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture have just been
carrying out some tests to discover the
speed-rates of different species Of flies.
In district Of northern Texas 234,-
900 flies Of various species were
caught, were busted with finely
powdered red chalk, and were then
liberated. Fly-traps, baited with food
especially relished by flies, were placed
at measured distances from the point
CT release. 1t was found that most
flies would travel distances up to
1000 feet in a few minutes. The
hOuse-hy covered over six miles in less
than 81 hours. The maximum dis
lance travelled by it in these expert
ments was 1914 miles.
Whether it made this stopping place
it's permanent home or returned to-
ward the starting-point is not recorded

Poisoned by Matches,

Cases of poisoning from safety
matches seem to be common in Den
mark. DR.. G. Rasch reports to the
Ugeskrift for Jaeger (Copenhagen)
on thirteen recent cases in his own
practice. The trouble took the form Of
a severe inflammation of the skin on
fingers, neck and face, with badly
swollen eyelids. In men it appears be-
low the pocket in which the matches
are carried; in women on the fingers
with which they light their cigarettes.
Dr.. Rasch ascribes it to the use of
phosphorus sesquisulphide when amor
phous phosphorus was not to be had.
