BATTLING WITH
MOSQUITOES IS
DIFFICULT TASK

DlScCuragins hungry mosquitoes
from biting human beings is no
easy task, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says in answer
to inquiries about mosquito repel-
lentS.
Different kinds OF mosquitoes re-
act differently TO the same repel-
lents, and some individuals get bet
ter results than others with the
same material, the department says
Oil OF citronella is one Of the most
widely used mosquito repellents. 1t
may be used pure or mixed with
mineral oil, vaseline. or lanolin in
the proportion of one part to five
Almost any oily preparation on the
skin repells mosquitoes to some ex-
tent.
There is no cure for mosquito
bites. and the department urges pre-
yention, such as keeping screen
doors closely fitted and having them
open outward. Another precaution
is to have good screens over the
windows, using full screens, if pos
sible. The screen mesh should not
be larger than Is openings to an
inch. Another move against the
mosquitoes is spraying with kero-
sene pyrethrum mixture. This will
destroy those struck by the spray
and also acts as repellent.
If the mosquitoes do get to you
and the bites bother you, one met
hod Of relief consists Of rubbing the
punctures gently with moist piece
Of toilet soap.

proving quite a puzzle to members

been stolen from his ranch.
In comparison to the four tons
stolen from H. NJ. Bealy two nights

Karl Pojello and George Hill,
appearing in preliminary match,
gathered all the honors at the
wrestling show presented last
night at the Washington Audi

some stirring 35 minutes during
which the fans constantly voiced
their approval.
Pojello and Hill put on a bout
that was alive with action. First
one would have the other in the
throeS of a threatening hold and
then the tables would be reversed.
Finally, Pojello put on a couple
of flying mares and it was fare
well for Hill.
Ferenz Holuban, the barrell,like
wrestler from Hungary, put away

TAKING
IS BUSHERS
To CAMP

DOME Bush, manager OF the
Chicago White Sox, has gone into
the highways and along the by
ways of baseball in a quest for
players to strengthen the pallid
hose for the season of 1881.
DOME has rounded up no fewer
than 13 young players who will
report to him in San Antonio for
spring training. Out Of the lot
he hopes to get a couple who will
stand out and make the White
Sox pennant contenders in the
American League.
Notable among the White
SOx recruits is Victor Frazier,
right-handed pitcher. Frazier
halls from ROustOn, La, the
State that gave Melvin OFT
to major league baseball, and
sent Red eagle forth to star in
football.
He was a sensation with Dallas
in 1929 and was bought by the
White Sox. But he was a timid
sort Of a youth. this Frazier. He
read tales of wild doings on the
Chicago battlefront and he SUD-
denly discovered that he had little
liking for the Lake front, the
stockyards or any part of Chicago.
He told Bush he was going
home. Naturally Bush tried to
dissuade him from leaving the
team, but Frazier was adamant
and stood by his decision to re-
main in Texas.
So the boy wandered forth and
pitched independent ball. He did
well, but he found that independ-
ent ball lacked the lure Of the
majors.
So Wick is back in good
standing now, and not all the
gunmen on the lake front will
be able to keep him off the
White SOx this spring.
Fren Eichrodt is coming back
to the majors after three years
spent in New Orleans. Eichrodt
started his professional career in
1928 in Madison, Wis. He played
with Shreveport, Spartansburg
and Charlotte and finally was
purchased by Cleveland. He never
quite made the grade with the
Indians. and was shipped down to
New Orleans.
Hit Hard in South
Southern League pitching was
very much to the liking of Eich-
rodt, and last year he cudgelled
the ball for 1926, making 211 hits
for 351 bases. The had 33 dou-
bles, % triples, and 81 home runs.
He scored 1913 runs and drove in
139 beside Stealir- 81 bases.
Eichrodt was second in driving
in runs, third in home runs. first
in triples, third in total bases,
fourth in hits and fifth in scoring
runs. Naturally a man VINO can
Go all those things as we'll as
Eichrodt did them is a man to
be reckoned with in any league.
Jim Moore, a right-h2nded
pitcher, may be another find for
the White Sox this year After a
trial with Cleveland Moore found
his way around to the Little Rock
club, known in baseball as the
Travellers. Any one from Arkan-
sas is a Traveller" regardless Of
whether he be a flagpole sitter
or a mail clerk.
ANYWAY, Moore can pitch.
He showed a lot of stuff for
Little Rock, and during a trial
with the SOx last fall won
two games and lost one.
Ray Radcliffe, bought from
Dallas. will be an interesting kid
to watch. With the colorful Art
Shires out of the way Clancy has
been doing right well at the get
away sack.
But here is a kid who can hit
the ball at a 1859 clip, and even
If it was at Selma, Ala, the boy
shows signs of Smacking that
egate in no uncertain manner.
Frank CRUDE, bought by the
White Sox from Buffalo. may
prove to be a good man. i
The Washington times., 1931-01-21

But who caused all this rum
pus, EaStern's downfall in par
ticular All eyes point to
Bobby Lucas, midget forward
of Business High School five.
Yep, he's the new hero of the
day, Business man of the hour.
Bobby rose to great heights yes
terday in the Stenogs' inspiring
victory. He was here, there and
everywhere, in scoring five bas-
kets and six fouls for Is points.
The game set Business fans
crazy for it's unexpected results.
From the start the StenogS played
with a vim that was not to be
denied.
.NOOnan Plays
Eastern naturally felt the alb
sence of Bill Noonan, shining
light and inspiration to it's play,
Big Bill" ill with a bad cold, ap-
reared after being sent home
from school the day before just
to help if needed.
When it was apparent BuSi.
ness was not to be stopped,
Coach GuyOn inserted his star
into the proceedings late in
the third quarter, with the
thought that his presence would
steady the rest of the Eastern
team.
But Noonan could not stem
the tide. Bobby Lucos had his
Business teammates too steamed
up for that.
The Stenogs took a 5-to-4 lead
at the end Of the first quarter.
Eastern scored its share of points
during the second quarter but
found Business Stringing right
along with the result that the
half ended in a 1913 deadlock.
Then Lucas really began his
inspiring work. Two baskets and
three fouls by him aided the
Stenogs to take a 21-to-15 lead
by the third quarter time.
Eastern worked to a 23-to-21
lead during the opening minutes
Of the fourth quarter when Zola
and Kane dropped in two baskets
apiece, but it was Lucas who put
the Stenogs back e. in front with
two baskets in rapid fire order,
Is to %.
BuScher Western Star
Kane then inserted a foul for
Eastern to make it Is to "a.
Lucas, however, made things
safe by passing to Leon Essen
Stad who dropped in a basket for
a 27-to-24 margin, while he made
good a foul toss to give the
game it's final 28-to-24 figures
just before the gun.
Everett Buscher was the big
noise in Westerns victory over
Central. This player swished
six baskets and three fouls
through the rims for Is points.
His playing tells the tale Of
CentraFS downfall.
The Mount PleaSanters were
never in the running. At half
time they trailed, ii to 10, while
at the end Of the third quarter
1t was 20 to 16 in favor of West
ern.
