torncy refused to take legal action
upon what the finance commission
described as IAN array Of very sus-
plcious circumstances. The COM

tcrminc the guilt or innocence OF
those involved.
Warner said that action would be
brought against the club in munich
pal court rather than before "A

BROWNS PRESENT
A Strong front
New Players Nay Make Team /,
Real Pennlnt Contender

New York, Feb. 1S (UP)-1he 81.
Louis Browns have come long way
since this time year ago.
Completely rebuilt last season by
Dan Howley, the Browns proved the
sensation of the American league by
finishing in third place. New play
ers acquired since last season may
bolster the Browns into a high
powered pennant contender the COM
ing season.
Fifteen new players have been OBJ
tanned to strengthen the Browns
weak spots. Five of the most PROM
ising are pitchers. They include
Warren (Rip) Collins. who formerly
pitched for the Yankees. Tigers and
Red Sox and won II games and lost
. for Toronto In the International
league last season: Claude Jonnard.
who won 10 games and lost IL for
Milwaukee; Herb Cobb. who won ~
games and lost for Wichita Falls;
John Buvid, who won 81 games and
lost II for the Spartanburg South
Atlantic league club; and Oscar Es-
trada, who won +; games and lost
IL for Shreveport.
Collins, Cobb and Jonnard are be-
ing counted on TO help Crowder.
Gray, Rlaeholder, Stewart, Coffman
and Ogden keep the Browns well up
in the race.
Three new catchers have been
added to the veterans. Wally Schang
and Clyde Manion. The outstanding
of these is Dick Ferrell. who receive
ed bonus of $4,000 for signing
with the Browns after Judge Lands
declared IN free agent, releasing
him from previous entanglements.
He caught 1875 games and batted
1888 for Columbus last season. He
is expected to be the Browns first
string catcher Harvey johnson from
the Greenville. South Atlantic lea
que club. and Ike banning from the
New Haven Eastern league club are
the other two catching additions.
The Browns infeld may find two
new figures at second and third
base. Blue will again play first base
and Ralph kress will be at short
stop, but the other two places are
doubtful.
Ed Koctz, who battcd .e67 for
Wichita Falls and Leonard Dondero,
who batted .373 for Tulsa, will battle
with Otis Brannon for the Kcyst one
assignment Edward Grimes, who
Lated 1874 for Tulsa, will compete
with Leonard Sax and Frank
O'Rourke for third base.
George Stanton. a younGster from
Wichita Falls with batting average
of sol, will make a bid for first
l'ase.
with Hcinic Manush, Earl McNcely,
and Fred Schultz for the Out'icld po-
sitions. Tom Jenkins who Mas up
tofore with the Red Sox and batted
.34S for Wichita Falls is considered
a vastly improved player He has
hit 50 home runs in three seasons
in the Texas league.
The other recruit outficlder IS
Morris Badgro. who was coached
how to hit Ivy Sam Crawford while
playing with the University South
ern California. He batted 1874 for
Tulsa last season.
Frank MCGOWAN. who joined the
Browns from Kansas City last sea-
son. also will be available for out :

eleven cases reported in 1928, 6 in
the counties and in Baltimore City,
with one death in Baltimore City.
One case occurred in a farmer who
had run a splinter into his finger
while cutting wood, and who a short
time afterwards handled rabbits that
had been shot nearby. He was taken
sick few days later and was sup
posed at first to be suffering with
grippe. Another case was that Of a
woman who assisted her husband in
skinning rabbits soon after they had
been shot. In her case the infection
entered through a scratch on the
hand. In each instance, laboratory
tests proved the presence of tula-
remia
"Tularemia occurs principally
among wild rabbits. 1t has not been
found in rabbits raised in rabbitries.
Thorough cooking of the meat des-
troys the germ. Thoroughly cooked
rabbit is accordingly harmless.

TAKE CARE IN SKINNING
OR HANDLING OF RABBITS
Four Cases of Tularemia Have
Been Reported This Year

Four cases of tularemia or ''rab-
bit fever" contracted in skinning or
handling infected rabbits, have been
reported to the State Department of
Health, from various sections of the
State, and one from Baltimore City,
so far this year. Referring to these
cases, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department, advised hunters,
market men and other food handlers
to take special precautions in skin
ming rabbits and in preparing them
for sale, for the table or for any
other use, and warned again of the
danger of contracting tularemia
through handling infected game.
rabbit fever, or tularemia-tog give
the disease its scientific name" DR..
Riley said, sis an infectious disease
found in wild rabbits and in other
small game. The infection spreads
from animal to animal through the
bite of the rabbit tick, the wood tick,
and through a species of fly. 1t is
contracted by human beings in two
through handling the infected
animal or through the bite of the in
fected insect. The germs are picked
up on the hands in skinning rabbits or
in preparing them for cooking or for
any other uses, and the infection is
usually taken up into the system
through break or scratch in the
skin. The germs may also be carried
by the hands to the eyes or the nose,
and the infection may enter through
the mucous membrane.
"The disease is usually accompan-
led by a typhiod-like fever of long,
starts with a severe chill, and the
disease at first is supposed to be
grippe. In many cases an ulcer de-
velops at the site of the infection
with marked enlargement of the
! glands that drain the ulcer The dag
nosis may be confirmed by a blood
test and should suspected cases occur
in the counties of Maryland, the
laboratories of the State Department
of Health is prepared to make the
necessary tests and will do so at the
request of the family physician, of
the local or the Deputy State Health
Officer

"And so my friends the thought I
desire to leave with you most is that
even though the resolutions you may
make for 1880 may be broken, don't
be discouraged and do not wait until
the next new year of 1881 to make
them all over again. We should re-

"'When you're lost in the wild, and
you're scared as a child,
And death looks you bang in the

It's the keeping-your-chin-up that's

It's easy to cry that you're beaten

It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
