NOW Canning
YEARS CROPS
Investigation of Houses
Starts With Packing
PeriodNow at Hand
POISONING CASES
ARE UNDER PROBE

| BALTIMORE. Aug. 10.-Inspeo-
tors of the Bureau of Food and
Drugs, state Department of Health.
have begun active work inspecting
canning houses and the character Of
their products. The main season for
packing fruits and vegetables is
considered to begin today. and by
the middle of the month the pro-
duction will be in full volume.
According to A. l.. Sullivan, chief
Of the bureau, the rules and regula-
tions for packing wholesome food,
in honest weight and volume, are
generally observed and authentic
cases OF food poisoning in the use of
canned goods are rare.
Mr.. Sullivan said:
"All cases OF reported poisoning
by food products need careful in
vestigation before condemning the
food Occasionally we find instances
of poisoning in raw foodstuffs, which
are due to accidental contamination
with some such material as arsenic.
which may be introduced as a re-
suit of spraying.
Recently a number Of investiga-
tions have been made in Boston by
United States health authorities and
the National Gamers Association
In practically all cases Investigated
there was no positive evidence that
the poisoning was due to the canned
food
In cases OF suspected poisoning
the health. Office should be notified
Immediately and precaution should
be taken, II possible. TO preserve |
containers of the suspected material. !
The large bulk of canned goods put |
on the market is entirely fit for |
food, and, considering the immense |
volume manufactured, very little |
harm has resulted from the use Of
canned food.
Gamers at present are more on |
the alert than ever. and careful work
Is being done 10 improve canning
methods and make food more safe.
1t Is important from the stand
point Of the consumer to accept only
Tins of canned food which are nor
NAL in appearance. that is. both
ends should be fiat or slightly drawn
in. All tins which bulge out should
be rejected. II the odor Of a food
product is questionable or abnormal
the product should be discarded"

Baseball Writers Pass Up Ban
Johnson's and Stand by
Scorer.

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-The Base
ball Writer'S Association in it's an
nual meeting at the Hotel Commo-
dore upheld the official scorer in the
matter Of Ty Cobb's batting aver
age, which means that in their view
Tyrus Raymond should have. been
credited with an average of .3s9 in
stead Of .401, as given in the figures
recently published and based on un.
official returns.
Before the writer's took action
they sent q committee to Ban b.
johnson in attendance at the joint
meeting Of two major leagues in the
same building asking him to visit
them and help clear up the contro.
versy. After long interval John.
son sent back word that he desired
them to submit the question to him
in writing.
Inasmuch as the matter had been
put up to johnson weeks ago by
telegraph to his Chicago offices the
writers decided they would walt no
longer for an explanation from the
American League head. The reso.
luton upholding the official scorer
and condemning the practice fol.
lowed in the attempt to overrule
their colleague was then passed.

II am sure that I have the MAX
ings of a first division ball club
right now. II 1t SO turns out,
though, that this man or that fails
to live up to my expectations, he'll
be sold, traded or released.
II have Bush to get the most
out Of every player on the team.
He has all the authority necessary
to kill them off as fast as they
fall down. I don't think there will
be much loafing with him in
charge. He isn't that kind of man
himself, never was and never will
be. I am confident he will do
better than either Of his two pre-.
decessors.
President Griffith seems cheerful
over the outlook for the coming
season. He says he Is still hunting
for the right kind of a pitcher, a
right-hander able to take his turn
on the rubber With that man in
the fold, he believes the Griffs of
1923 will be very much contenders,
though he makes no fool predic-
tions.
Though President Griffith says
nothing about 1t, IL Is quite possible
that Olaf Erickson, Hank Shanks
and Val Picinich will not be with
the Griffmen next year. Nothing
has yet been done regarding them,
but their jobs are seriously endan-
gered.
Turkey Brewer, despite his great
Improvement last summer over the
season before, is another veteran
in danger. 1t is possible that he
may slip back into the duties Of
a pinch hitter, a job he personally
despises.

Terry McGovern at that time
had twice been stopped by Young
Corbett and later had put up just
ordinary fights against second
raters and was due to be "taken."
Oliver had Murphy matched
with him. It looked soft.
It was a New York fight, of
course, and the special train was
loaded to the ventilators. There
was all kinds of betting, there
was all kinds of talk, and there
was excitement in punches.
Joe Humphreys and the Nc
Govern rooters could see nothing
but Terry, while the Harlemites
bet their last nickel on Murphy,
declaring McGovern a has-been.
There was a deadly silence as
the gong changed that night. The
sports didn't dare peep until they
saw how McGovern shaued up.
The two fighters danced just a
moment or so. They were both
sluggers and lived on slams.
Murphy, fearless and confident,
let fly at McGovern at the first
chance he got, and connected
solidly. Terry staggered back,
There was a buzz around.
"Terry isn't therep It really did
look as though Terry was in for
a pasting. Murphy let fly again.
A left caught Terry on the chin,
and he backed up to the ropes.
Murphy, feeling more confident,
now feinted, and as Terry missed
a left let fly his right. Meow
ern staggered back toward q
neutral corner with Murphy after
him. Tommy let 60 right and left
and then repeated. McGovern
covered his head with his arms,
trying to weather the storm. It
kept up and the crowd got to its
feet to see the kill.
Just as it looked to be over
for McGovern he sot a right from
nowhere in particular and stopped
Murphy dead in his tracks. The
right punch dazed Murphy, whose
hands dropped. Terry moved out
of the corner and then let an
other lightning like right loose,
catching Tommy flush ON the
chin.
He fell though shot through the
heart. He never moved q muscle
until after he was counted out.
A million pigs under barn doors
couldn't make the noise that mob
made. They simply screeched,
howled. barked and cried. Hats
canes, umbrellas and caps came
flying into the ring. It was a
sight you see once in a lifetime.
And there, standing, leaning on
an umbrella with a smile on his
face a yard wide was Terry Nc
Govern who q moment ago was
licked.
There he stood STILL the TER
RIBLE ONE.

He came to the meeting unwill-
ingly, but with the stated inten-
tfon of making all points an issue
of power between himself and
Lands. He departed beaten at
every turn.
FirA off. he called the American
League meeting for Chicago. IN
contravention to agreement and
even the loyal five of Cleveland,
DSt. Louis. Philadelphia. Washington
and Detroit turned against him in
forcing his reconsideration.
Then. in turn he proposed
that . zOning system be instltuf-
ed to curtafl home run hitting
and that the National League
clean up its alleged supply Of
dirty linen resulting from gam
bling in ball parks and the COW
ering up Of discredited players.
Only a previously expressed dis
approval Of the plan prevented
johnson from demanding that the
major leagues repudiRte the draft
agreement. In toto.
The coming plan was not even dis.
cussed at the meeting, according to
Les O'Connor, secretary to Judge
Lands, and Johnson's dissertation
on the soil condition of the old shirt
fronts was listened to without com
ment. When he had finished they
turned to the next item Of business
just as though nothing had hap
pened. Only on one point was John
