Science
Disease and Rainfall Appear
Closely Related.

INFECTIOUS disease outbreaks and
i rainfall appear to be closely related,
according to report of DR.. J. J.
Paquet to the French Acadamie Mede-
Gin.
He studied the disease and weather
records Of the department of the Disc
between 1911 and 1880. He found that
the peaks of typhoid fever came a
month or two after heavy rainfalls fol-
lowing prolonged droughts. This was
explained as probably due to too sud-
den flushing Of the wells with rain
water thus polluting the drinking sup
ply. Scarlet fever peaks seemed to be
coincident with heavy rainfall The
measles rate rose abruptly every two o.
three years. the increases corresponding
with the rainfall peaks.
DR.. Paquet found that the heaviest
incidence Of diphtheria was in the Au-
tunn and Winter. when the rains were
heaviest. His studies also show some
relation between wet seasons and the
incidence Of tuberculosis. T. r. H.

The Nut Cracker
BY JOE O'GOOETY One Time Big League Pitcher

New York.-While 1 was in Brad |enton, l obtained an exclusive inter- view with Bashful Dizzy Dean, in which he declared he wanted to pitch the opening game of the sea son.
 Dean, you know, had little trou- ble with Gabby Street the manager of the Cardinals. He refused to come out for practice, announcing that he exhibition games didn't mean anything, but that he would be willing to pitch when the season started, every other day.
 T am going to pitch this team to pennant," Dean told me. I'm saving myself for the opener"
 Dean spent most of the spring training period fishing, playing miniature golf. taking joy-rides and shooting billiards.
 l told him 1 had nice letter from Art Shires the other day. Art was a young man who several years ago told the world he would win a pennant for the White Sox. But carnival where he threw hoop over d cane. Now he's at Milwaukee.
 Gabby Street finally asked Dizzy which town he would prefer to pitch the opening game for Scottdale or Danville.
 The next day. Dizzy was the first man at the park. He had been waiting all night for the custodian to open the gate.
 And he may pitch the opening game at that considering it's just an exhibition tilt with q team lat Cincinnati

SPRINGFIELD ICE
 TEAM NEW CHAMPS

Springfield. Mass, April 10.-- UP) Springfields Indians were Can- adian- American Hockey League champions to-day as result of 3-2 victory over Boston's Bruin Cubs there last night in the deciding game of their best-threc- out of -five-game series, which was extended to seven games when two contests ended in deadlocks.
 The Jndians succeed the Prov idencc Reds, who defeated the Cubs for the championship last year. The new champions led the league almost throughout the season, winning many more games than the Cubs, who finished in third place.
 Seibert scored what proved to be the winning goal last night 40 sec onds before play ended. The goal seemed superfuous at the time, for the Indians were leading, 2-1, but 15 seconds after Seibert's goal, Paul Runge, assisted by Tank Boyd and Jack Pratt, tallied Boston's second goal. Barring Seoiberts goal, this would have sent the game into over time.
 Saunders and Carrigan tallied Springfield's other goals, while Ed die Burke scored the first Cub counter.

In sports, the school has been held
 in the background largely because of
 the limited registration from which
 to choose representative teams that would compare favorably with Cros- by or Wilby arrays. Lack of finan- cial support or sources of revenue all
 most buried the school name behind wall of memory. but still it's off, cials fight on for the recognition on the court and field that is rfghtfulIy deserved, just as they fought for
 morning session arrangement which almost came too late to do much good.
 Not Chance
 Asked what the prospects were for D varsity baseball team this season, Physical Director Louis Laun said :: We had hopes of putting varsity team on the field this year but it just
 can't be done, for the reason that there's no money forthcoming to buy
 uniforms, bats. balls, gloves and
 other equipment. However. we are
 starting interclass baseball next week, and if the time does come when we can go ahead with a var sity team, the material will be
 ready"
 Soccer Team Planned Because of the low cost of operat- ing q soccer football team, Leaven-
 worth adopted this sport last season and will put another team on the field this year. Coach Laun said. In this sport, he will have the valu- able aid of Edward McEvoy, who has | played the game and can teach it. The boys themselves are quite ex- cited about the idea of a soccer team, which will compete with other high school teams in Connecticut. Since Leavenworth won her first cham pionship in sports this past basket ball season, interest in sports of all | sorts at the school is great, demand 1 for baseball team being particular | ly strong. But it costs money to run i athletic teams and that commodity is what Leavenworth has the least of. However, with the start of inter-
 class baseball next week, and the | continued support of Principal liar | rison ;. Allen and Coach Laun, $ baseball team is not yet out of the | question, for where there's the will there's always the way.

On the other hand, If Walberg, Mahaffey, or one of the other members of the Grove Earn shaw supporting staff turn in a 2O- game performance, the club likely would win in d breeze.
 New York, under the hustling, driving, magnetic Joe Mccarthy, is the mystery team of the league.

At present. however, the mound staff is a trifie wobbly and little hope is held for it's transformance into the equal of the As and Senators pitch- ing corps.
 Pretty Good.
 Cleveland is named for the re- maining first division berth but may have to yield to a muchly improved Detroit outfit. The Tigers lack q punch, but are blessed with large number of high grade pitchers.
