BALL PLAYERS LOVE
 ID SOCK THE PILL
That and Their Pay Checks Go
 Hand in Hand
(By Billy Eyans.).

Next the salary check the ball play CT loves his base hits. And, after all. base hits and salary go hand in hand, for it is the fellow who gets the base hits who drags down the fat salary. In this connection I recall one of the most unusual protests that l believe has ever been staged on a major league ball field. It was @ case where the ball player, while admitting the correctness Of the decision, staged q kick that made 1t seem he was strong ly disagreeing with the judgment of the umpire.
 While base hits are prized at any time during the season, it is doubtful if they are ever more relished than in the spring.
 The incident have in mind came mp during the first week of play. The protest, I believe. is without parallel, since the player is hardly expected to kick after agreeing that the umpire rendered the correct ruling. Umpir- ing on the bases with me in the game in question was a new man on the staff. making his American league debut. The batsman drove to deep left and when the ball left the bat 1t was certain the drive would be good for at least a double. By fast sprint ing the batsman stretched it into Q triple the decision at third was very close but the umpire ruled the runner safe.
New Britain herald., 1924-01-11

Your rotten decisions are always getting you into trouble" was his parting shot. "I was out at third base instead Of safe as you called me. The fielder touched me with the ball be- fore l reached the bag. You can wire President Johnson I have a two-base hit coming to me-"

Then things started to happen. In rounding first base the batsman failed 70 touch that bag by nearly foot. The omission was noticed by the first sacker of the team in the field and the umpire.
 After the play had been made on the runner at third and he was de- olared safe, the first baseman called for the ball. Receiving it, he touched first base and appealed to the umpire for a ruling. The umpire declared the runner out. That, of course, erased tho three-ba hit that he had apparently made. From my position back of the plate l also had noted the failure of the runner to touch the bag and realized the base umpire was cor rect in his ruling when he declared an out. A long protest followed, the game being delayed perhaps five min utes.
 In the dressing room after tho game l asked my partner what caused | the trouble, assuring him that he had ruled correctly. l couldn't see any justice in the protest Of the played | ruled out
 No trouble at all," he replied, the player admitted he missed the bag but was sore because I had failed io call him out at third, which would have given him credit for a double instead of merely time at bat. When told that the umpire had first ruled him safe at third because he beat the throw, the player, aSefed at losing the three base hit because he failed to touch first. still insisted on putting the blame on the umpire.

TINCTURE OF IODINE WILL
PURIFY DRINKING WATER

(Wm- H. Feldman, Dept. Pathology
The attention of the Pathology La
boratory Of the Colorado Experiment
Station Of the State Agricultural Col
lege, was recently drawn To an ar
ticie appearing in the Literary Digest
which stated that tincture Of iodine,
added in the proportion Of two drops
TO the quart, would render safe any
drinking water that might be encount-
cred from suspicious stream of other
source.
In order to check the efficiency of
this method of water publication, we
contaminated water by the addition of
pure cultures Of the colon bacillus, put
ting in enough so as TO make a heavy
pullution. The water was placed in
two separate TASKS and in one of them
we added two drops of the ordinary
commercial tincture of iodine. Moth
in was added to the second flask which
was considered as a control. Starting
then in five minutes and continuing
for an hour cultures were made from
each Of the two TASKS. These cul-
lures were then incubated and results
noted in 2 hours, and We found that
not single organism developed in
any of the tubes from the water re-
ceiving the iodine treatment, while
the tubes made from the water that
had received nothing were simply
teeming with bacteria.
Since the addition of the iodine has
very little effect upon the color of
the water and practically none upon
the taste, 1t is our opinion that this
would be safe, practical and mex
pensive method of treating water
which might be under suspicion as to
its purity. 1t should be of practical
value to those who spend their vaca-
tions in the mountains, such as fisher
men, tourists and picknicers. We
would suggest as factor of safety,
that the water be treated at least 20
minutes to a half hour before using.
We also investigated the statement
that lemonade made from impure
water becomes safe from q bacturio-
logical standpoint. Lemonade was
prepared in the usual manner, using
two lemons to a quart of water and
adding an ounce or SO of sugar, and
to this mixture we added a liberal
quantity Of colon bacilli in pure cul-
ture. The media was then inoculated
from this mixture every five minutes
for one hour, and then again at the
end of two hours. When the results
were checked against the control there
was just rs many bacteria in the lem
onade rs in the suspension of colon
bacilli to which no lemons had been
added.
As a consequence it is our opinion
that it would be foolhardy to depend
upon lemon juice as a water purifier.

Tucker. who did the necessary labora.
tory work in the above experimsnts.)
