sey, said a doctor recently in renor,.
Ing an epidemic Of diphtherla to the
State Department Of Health. The
Indian clubs to which he referred
were the diphtheria germs which have
this appearance when viewed under
& microscope.
Last year West Virginia had 1902
cases Of diphtheria, according to in.
formation given out by the State
Department Of Health. with almost
16 per cent of the cases proving fatal
This is useless waste Of life" said
DR.. David Littlejohn, director Of the
division Of preventable diseases Of the
State Department of Health, "and 1t
Is unbelievable that parents will re-
fuse to protect their children from the
ravages Of this disease when rene.
dies are at hand for their protection. ;"
Diphtheria is now classed as a def
nitely preventable disease and the
states of New York and Illinois hayq
set about to absolutely rid their Dor
ders of 1t by 1890 This can be effect.
ed by the use of toxin antitoxin which
immunizes children against the dis
ease. This preventative Is harmless,
has only a slight reaction and gives
imnunization against diphtheria for
life. New York and California have
freed whole communities from the
dread disease by general use of toxin
antitoxin. West Virginia should do
the same.
Practically all children under ten
years of age are susceptible TO diph-
iberia and should be immunized by
the use Of toxin antitoxin. After
the age Of ten years many develop a
natural immunity to the disease.
Persons after reaching this age should
have the Schick test made TO determ-
Inc whether they are immune or not
and II this test shows that they are
not then preventative treatment with
toxin antitoxin should be administered
This preventative treatment must
not be confused with antitoxin, which
should be used as soon as a person
is exposed to diphtheria or shows any
signs of having contracted the disease.
II used Immediately the probabilities
of death are very slight. However,
because of the seriousness of the dis
ease and the resulting after effects,
'the ounce of prevention" far ex-
ceeds the pound of cure"
Last year West Virginia reported
1902 cases Of diphtheria with 1888
deaths. While this was a decrease
of nearly 200 over the previous year,
the death rate showed an increase.
Diphtheria is more prevalent now
than at any other time of the year
because of the eongregating Of thous-
ands Of children In schools Yearly,
ten thousand lives are sacrificed 20
diphtheria in the United States, 90
per cent Of the deaths occurring in
children under five years Of age.
After years of experimenting, science
has discovered a complete protection
against the disease by means Of toxin
antitoxin, and a definite nova Is now
on foot to rid America Of this disease
as effectively as has been the case
with yellow fever.

LAZERRE FACES
COMPETITION
By FORD C. Prick

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Tony La
zerre. Pacific Coast slugger. will
cavort at second base for the Yam
KEGS next season-if he cavorts
at all.
That's the official communicate
from Miller Higgins.
And it may mean much or
nothing.
No infielder in years has come
up TO the majors with quite go
much baIlyhoo as has accompanied
Lazerre on the big jump. Coast
League experts pronounce him a
marvel. His batting average speaks
for itself. And, according to the
lads who know. he has a whole
head full of baseball intelligence.
Which may run for Mayor - or
for Sweeney.
For grabbing that second base
job on the Yankees next year will
be no lead pipe cinch. Aaron Ward
has been more cussed than dis.
cussed In the last year. but Wardie
is still a young man. and capable
of playing high grade ball. Not go
many seasons ago he was looked
upon as the best keystoner in the
league.
Higgins has announced that
Wardie is on the market But ne
hasn't been traded yet And IL he
is traded some veteran infielder of
recognized ability will replace him
in Yankee uniform. Overcoming
Wardie or his successor will be Mr..
I4azerre's first hurdle on the road
to fame.
Following which accomplishing n [
he will find the bow-legged figure
OF little Mike GazeIla standing he.
tween him and the ultimate goal.
GaZella was up with the Yankees a
few seasons ago-and gave promise
of big things. But he couldn't quite
make the grade and was sent back
TO the minors. Last season he
played with Atlanta and burned w
the league. Apparently he has ;r-
rived.
If Mr.. Higgins says Lazerre will
start at second base the chances
are the advertised Tony will do
just that thing. But he'll have 10

Discomfort
Nv r. D. THOMAS

BY voting to put it's annual
tournament on a circuit, the
Washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation has struck a heavy blow
at discomfort among the city $
bowlers, it was widely agreed to-
day. The tournament will be held
this year at Convention Hall,
starting April II. Next year it
will be held either at the King
pin No. l or the Coliseum, the
toss of a coin in the presence of
the managers of these establish
ments to determine, and the year
after next it will be held at the
alley that loses next years toss.
All this, propounded at thorough
ly representative meeting of the
Washington City Duckpin Associs-
ton, will happen provided the plan
is welcomed by the establishments
involved. 1t has been accepted by
John S. Blick, the Convention Hall
magnate, and Harry B. Haley, rep.
resentfhg the Coliseum Recreation.

Wood, the Kingpin chiettaln, is out

This plan, evolved as a move
toward the unification of the
BOWERS, L. included in a resolu-
ton that was passed unanimously
at the meeting. 1t was put for
ward by Henry T. ROdler, presi-
dent Of the association, who said
-
those close in touch with bowling
affairs with whom he had dis
cusSed 1t.
BY placing the tournament on n
circuit the thought was to eradicate
at least one source Of the evils that
beset bowling, and one that pri.
marily was responsible for the for.
nation of the Capital City Duckpin
Association, which split organized
bowling asunder.
The trouble was started by dis.
agreement over tournament alleys
Although such condition perhaps
never was sought, the Washington
City Duckpin Association even,
tually came to be regarded In the
nature of downtown organization
and the Capital City Duckpin Asso-
citation was indelibly associated with
the uptown interests.
Both organizations waxed strong
and bitterness marked the rivalry.
This was the situation until yes
terday's development. 1t Is too
soon to determine exactly the
general effect Of the Washington
City Duckpin Associations move.
It Is common opinion that a
similar spirit by the Capital City
Duckpin Association would go far
toward relieving a condition that
all agree Is harmful. That one,
solidly supported organization could
do more for the general advance
ment of the game than is being
done by the two Is an opinion eX-
pressed by some Of The leaders of
both associations.
The signs now point strongly
toward a consolidation and a re-
newaI of the old friendliness among
all the bowlers that once made the
annual city tournament happy
event to which all looked forward
eagerly. Since the split occurred
many bOwlers have dreaded the APP.
