STATE CHEMIST ADVISES
BOILING DRINKING WATER

In a letter to the county health
officer, DR.. F. NJ. Lane, the state
chemist, who recently was sent a
sample of the Cody water, reports
that although the Cody water is
not at all unfit for drinking pur-
poses. hat it would be better if it
were boiled, especially when drank
by children.
The letter received by DR.. Lane
is reprinted:
- November 90, 1924
DR.. Frances NJ. Lane,
County Health Officer,
Cody, Wyoming.
Dear Madam:
The sample of Cody water which
you collected on the 21st was re-
ceived by me on the Gath.
We find hat this water contains
$500 bacteria per &C. This water
caused a small amount of fermenta-
ton in lactose broth, but there
were no true colon bacteria in the
water. The bacteria count is en-
tirely too high. Something should
be done to remedy this condition.
1t is to be expected that this water
will occasionally cause some stom-
ach trouble, although I would not
expect any serious illness to result
from it's use. Infants should not
be given this water until after it
has been boiled.
Yours truly,
l.. e. Walter,
State Chemist.

Post Olympic Talk
Now Going The
Usual Rounds

5-tlt IS only natural that there
should be lot of comment
about the American Olympic
team in spite of its victory.
There always Is. On 4 trip
like that it lis impossible to
satisfy everybody. Some Of the
trainers and some Of the ath-
letes are being quietly criticized.
J Some Of the returning invaders
say there were too many ath-
Ietess and too many trainers.
For many Of them # was just
q junket. ss.
Among the track and field
candidates there were twenty
who took no part N the games
, at all, and the same MS said To-
be true of the boxing team.
Some Of the prominent athletes
are said to have broken the
training rules. The handling Of
the marathon runners has also
been criticized. Il is charged
that some Of them were sent
over the full marathon distance
/ three times in q week. If this
IS true the trainers must have
thought they had q team Of

Statistics Bug Has 4
All Figured Out,
Here Ii Is

When . person asks that
noth-eaten question as to the
number Of golf clubs in the
United States the answer is
make your own guess, or words
to that effect. According to
Fraser's year book, however,.
there are 3,1s5 clubs on this
side of the border and 4O7 more
in Canada. Nearly two thou
sand professionals are also To-
Gated in this country. If there
are more than 5000 clubs in
the United States one wonders
as to the total number Of play
ers. But that is something else

.PIRA TES AIDED
BY SIX NEW
PLAYERS
Yde. Kremer, cuyIer, Smith,
Wright and Moore Have
Made Good
By LES CONKLN

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The Pitts
burgh Pirates have kept in the first
division this season only though
the good work of new players.
These additions to the clubs ros-
ter have made good, while several
veterans were cracking sadly.
Yde, Kremer, Cuyler, Wright and
Moore, just up from the bushes,
have made the grade. Stone, an
other recruit, has done well as a
relief pitcher.
Earl Smith. catcher, recently &C.
Quired from the Braves, has played
sensational ball for his new boss
and is now doing most Of the back,
stopping. jeff Pfeffer, another vet
eran obtained from the Cardinals,
has shown flashes of his old-tirne
skill and may prove to be q val.
liable addition to the Pittsburgh
pitching corps.
OF the youngsters, Cuyler has
made the best record. He IL bat
ting close Of $40, well up AMONG
the leaders. He fields and throws
splendidly and Is fast on the bases.
Ray Kremer and Emil Yde are
running the veteran Cooper q close
race for pitching honorg. Kremer
has won almost two-thirds. OF hia
games. Yde, although he has not
worked In many games, leads the
National League pitchers in the
percentage column, with seven won
and none lost. He showed linuroved
form In his last few games and win
take his turn on the mound reru.
larly in the future.
Glenn Wright's batting has won
him the place Of cleanup hitter in
the Pittsburgh lineup. The kid
shortstop has kept above the 800
mark all season. His good work
In the short field made possible
the shifting Of Rabbit Maranviile
to second base to take the place
Ct Cotton Tierney, now with the
Braves.
q Moore. the Pirates new utility
infielder, has been batting above
$50 and handling himself accent
ably in the field. He is used ire.
Quently as q pinch hitter.
The tenperamental "Oil'" Smith
seems to have taken q new lease
on life since joining tn Buccos.
He was a terror against the Giants
on the New Workers. last western
trip, apparently taking great de.
light in shining against the club
that sentenced him to Boston.
While these newcomers have
been playing good ball, several Of
the Pittsburgh veterans have. col
lapsed Svoefully. Morrison, former.
" the clubs star pitcher, has won
only seven games and lost twelve.
Lee Feadows. the bespectacled
twirler. who formerly starred for
the Cardinals, has been unable to
attain a 800 average.
Pie" Traynor and little Bigbee,
dangerous hitters last year, have
slumped alarmingly in their bat.
ting. II these veterans ..return to
form, the club win pass the Cubs
and give the Giants q close race
for the nag.

Johnson Says Firpo Is Cinch.
VIZ ARREN BROWN, in the
+" Chicago Examiner, printed
the following the other day:
Over in front Of the Mullen
Goorty swat college ON West Mad
ison street daily there stands q
curious knot Of citizens. Passers-
by did not notice them the last
week. Why are they there now?
Jack Johnson, once champion
Of. the world, is in training in the
gymnasium upstairs.
johnson, whose comeback threat
is not to be- taken too seriously,
still has the power to attract at
tention.
aFirpo win lock Wills easy,
says johnson, "and / can lick them
both"
Maybe ''lil1 Artha" really be-
lieves that; maybe he does not.
There was. time when it was
true. Perhaps Johnson is still liv-
ing in that bygone age when there
was no man in the world he could
not defeat, and as he pleased.
Johnson has small chance Of re-
turning to the ring again in this
country. But there are those who
would still rush for any arena in
which he would be allowed to dis
play what fighting talents he has
left. johnson had q personality
that caught on with fight fans.
Dempsey has it in an even greater
degree. Firpo has it. Wills,
though, is lacking in that spark
which would have brought him
into the front Of all, the heavy
weight title contenders and
FORCED a meeting with the
champion. =
Wills, the patient one, waited
quietly all these years for q chance
at the championship held by
Dempsey.
He must know now that he wiz
never. get It.,
It is difficult to imagine "IdI
Artha" standing idly by while he
had q chance to land q crack at
the title.
A shreWdly managed Wills
would have chased Dempsey from
one end of the country to the,
other challenging, challenging,
challenging.
Eventually he would have
forced the issue.
A shrewdly managed Wills
would have, trailed Ii Dempsey
around his vaudeville routes, and
when the usual volunteers were
called for to box with the cham
pion what would have prevented
Wills from stepping forth and
saying: .How about me, Mistah
Dempsey?D
A. Jack Johnson would have
done that. Z.
