New York Teams
Can See No Walkover
In Race This Season

New York, April 10.-With three
major league baseball teams within
its boundaries, two of which were
pennant winners in 1921 and con-
tenders for world series honors, the
baseball followers Of greater New
York are kesnly interested in the
prospects for the coming season.
Despite the fact that both of New
York's champions, the Giants and
Yankees, were materially strengthen
ed during the past winter, neither
team has visions of a walkover.
The Giants, worlds champions,
have added the brilliant Heinie Groh
and two hard hitting minor league
utfielders-Ralph SINNERS and Ike
Boone-to team which already had
won the highest honors in baseball.
AS a result of the acquisition of
Groh, the spectacular Frisch has
been switched back to second, and
the present New York National in
field of Groh, Bancroft. F'risch and
Kelley unquestionably ranks with
the greatest in. the games history.
SINNERS has taken the place of
George Burns in centre field, and
though the new conner is fast and
can hit. he is not yet finished out
fielder.
Should the Giants falter this sea
son. they will do so because of

crack southpaw. is the only one of
McGraw's pitching regulars in top
notch form, though Douglas and
Jesse Barnes have been showing bet

below his usual par on the training
trip. but he has been hitting hard
Ward, Miller and Scott have hit
very feebly against Brooklyn's
pitching. while a sore arm also has
! handicapped Scotts work in the
field
While Ruth and Meusel are serv-
ing out their suspensions. the Yam
lee outfield will be a rather make
shift affair. Fewster will start in
left: Miller in center, while two re-
cruits, Skinner and Mcmillan, will
alternate in right. 1t may be found
necessary. however, to put Catcher
Schang in right field to get the ad-
vantage Of additional batting
strength.
Brooklyn's victories over the New
York Americans on the return trip

MOUTH HOLDS FEW BACTERIA
Saliva and Muscular Action, 1t ls An
nounced, Work Quickly to Clear
tho Oral Cavity.

1t has hitherto been assumed by
Psychologists that the bacteria which
are known to lodge in the cavity of the
mouth in seething masses are disease
producing, and that they are always
present to take advantage of any un-
fortunate lowering of the powers of
resistance in the human body.
1t has now been demonstrated by
a professor at Johns Hopkins univer-
sity that although the oral cavity has
no elaborate system Of hairy men,
branes like the nose and air passages,
to rid it of bacteria and foreign par
ticles, nevertheless it does the same
thing by a mechanical action of the
muscular structures around the mouth
that set up suction currents which re-
move any bacteria or foreign par
ticles from the mouth in from fifteen
to thirty minutes, These suction cur
rents carry the bacteria uniformly to-
ward the rear of the mouth, without
any lateral or forward dissemination
and pass them on without lodging on
the tonsils or the walls of the
pharynx.-Popular Mechanics Maya

bureau that he established his iden-

NO, SIGNIFICANCE IN COLOR
Idea Long Held by Horse Breeders
Has Been Proved to Be Without
Foundation.

For more years than man can
count men have felt suspicious of, If
not unkindly toward, horse with
three white feet. There Is an ancient
rhyme which runs something like this !:
One white foot, buy him;
Two white feet, try him;
Three white feet, deny him;
Four white feet skin him and give MIN
to the crows.
Not true; nothing in It; facts dis
prove it. A fair proportion of the
fastest, strongest toughest and most
faithful horses have had and still have
two, three and four white feet. Dur
bar II, Derby winner a few years
back, had three white feet.
Another deep-rooted prejudice con-
Germs the. color of horses. A gray has
been generally esteemed as tough
and staying" horse, and black horse
has been suspected of lack of stamina.
A roam horse, either steel roam or
strawberry roam, has always been
sized up as a hardy horse. A dun
horse was thought to be the last word
In feebleness. A cream-colored horse
was suspected of inability to go the
pace, and a white horse, besides be-
ing hard to keep clean, was believed
| to be of delicate constitution. Bays
| browns and sorrels have generally
been judged on points" and conforma'
ton, Independent of the color ques'
ton.
All this is wrong, according to ex
periments at government station. A
government bulletin has said that
1.-THE color of a horse is no indication
| Of the real value of the animal and
the statement cannot be made too EN-
phatic that speed, intelligence, vigol
and other good traits are inherited In
dependently of color"

A singular atmospheric phenomenon
recently noted along the western
coast of South America, Is a bank or
band of cloud extending for 1000
miles, from Ecuador to the center Of
Chill, and following the trend Of the
coast range of hills. The cloud band
Is between 10 and 20 miles broad. floats
at an elevation between 1900 and

Of not less than 1000 feet.

Diamonds Territory's Only Asset.


The territory known before the war
as German Southwest Africa Is of lit
tie value to the British, who have &C.
quired 1t, inasmuch as It Is mostly des-
ert. 1t does, however, produce, many
diamonds, which are picked up In the
sands along the coast.
The desert diamonds have evidently
been disturbed by water and wind, and
doubtless were brought from a not
distant source by ancient and van
ished rivers. Presumably they were
originally derived from volcanic
pipes" like those which produce dia-
monds In the Kimberly field of South
Africa. Experts are inclined to think
that all of them came from a single
pipe, because they are so much alike
in quality, appearance and crystalliza-
ton. In the Kimberly field the dia-
monds from no two pipes are alike.
Accordingly, an anxious search is be-
ing made for the source of the stones.
Pipes, q number of them, have been
found. but, aiasi none Of them con-
tains any diamonds.

Buildings Of Old Rome.

Lanciani. the archeOlogist, has
shown that In the Rome of the Caesars
trouble was experienced with high
buildings. A law was passed restrict
ing the height of fronts to sixty feet.
In order to evade 1t, builders adopted
the practice Of carrying up the rear
portions several stories more. Other
laws bearing on the height Of the
buildings were passed In early times.
There was tendency to diminish the
height Of stories as the buildings In
creased In size, and a height Of 100
feet was probably attained. II is be-
lieved that the ceilings were so low a
man could not stand upright In the
rooms.
