Metz-Rabes' Hottentots

Before a large crowd Sunday,
April 18th, the Hottentots af
ter one day practice, were de
feated by the Metz Girls (white)
at Falsiaff Park by a score of
II to 6. Due to the poor base
running of the Metz Girls, the
Hottentots were able to keep
the score so low. Ten errors and
some hard early season hitting
allowed the Metz Girls to score
in each inning except The End.
The Hottentots are working
out each evening at Lake school
with the hope of redeeming
themselves this week when they
meet Malashock Girls Thurs
day and Metz Sunday at 2:30
p. m. at 30th and Writ SITS.
d. Williams, captain, has been
shifted to second and Wright
will play shortstop, A. Lyles,
1st b; and r. Gennison 3rd b.
All the girls are great players
and by hard work are fast ge.
ting into mid season form. Ger
aldine Washington has signed
with the Hottentots and will
add much strength to the pitch
ing staff, in place of J. Brown,
who resigned. Miss Washington
will easily win the hearts of soft
ball fans by her slugging,
which so far has been hard.
The catching staff and outfield
are a little slow to round into
form, but with a little warm
weather, watch those Hotten
OTIS go.
On Thursday, April 29th, a
game will be played at goth and
Lake SITS, between So. Omaha
and No. Omaha. A. Lyles will
captain the So. Omaha team. A
banquet will be given the win
ners by Metz Brewery and Carl
RABIES, proprietor of the RABIES

Cornhusker Golfers Plan
ManyTournaments

A concentrated drive for an
active summer campaign has
been launched by the members
of the Cornhusker Golf Club.
Boyd V. Galloway, club presl
dent and veteran linksman, says
that a series of city and inter
club contests are planned as a
means of keeping up continued
interest and developing better
players for competition IN the
intercity tournaments. In add
ton to the Omaha series of con
tests, four sectional games have
already been scheduled with
clubs at Kansas City, St.Louis,
Des Moines and Minneapolis.
AL of the many tournaments,
ranging from nine 10 II holes
will be made especially attrae
tive by the awards of trophies
and medals. The city schedule
is being drawn up by the Rules
Committee composed of Billy
Davis, Sabert Hanger, and Pen
ny Murray. 1t is being so ar
ranged that the mot so good
player will have an equal OPP
portunity TO win his share OF
awards.
According to the president,
special effort will be made to
cultivate a better understand
ing of the game among the mem
bers of the ladies' auxiliary
which is opened to membership
of all ladies interested in the
game. A mixed tournament IS
planned for May.
All golfplayers who desire to
join the Cornhuskers are urged
to be present at the next meet
ing which will be held at the
Urban League Center on April
3Oth. At this time all seasonal
committees will be selected and
a general outline of the 1897
activities will be given.

To The Omaha Guide
Gentlemen:
Will you please advise your
readers to write their senators
in Lincoln, urging support OF
the bill now before that body,
providing for the election of
school board members by dis
triets, in order that the areas
serving the poorer classes may
receive better consideration.
The schools serving Negroes
are almost wholly neglected.
Practically all funds spent dur
ing this school term by the
Board of Education for improve
ments, have been spent IN the
north and west sections of the
city. 1t is time for some definite
action TO be taken on the part
of the East Side taxpayers.
Respectfully,

TRENCH MOUTHEXPLAINED
nv STATE HEALTH DOCTOR
Is One of the More Common Dis
cases of Soft Tissues in Mouth

Asked to explain what is meant by
"trench mouth, DR.. Richard C. Leon
ard Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health, said:
"In considering mouth health, too
often there is a tendency to limit ones
tbonghts to the teeth and to prevent
their loss, partially or entirely, from
decay. But important as the prevention
If tooth decay is, it is also essential
that the health of other mouth tissues
he maintained. In addition to the teeth
and law bones, the mouth is comprised
nf various soft tissues, forming the
palates, cheeks, tongue and gums. Any,
1r all, of these may be the seat of dis
ease that may not only be uncomforta-
HE locally but may have serious sys-
+emic connection.
some of the more common diseases
of these soft tissues is 'vincente of the
mouth commonly known as trench
mouth; germ disease that is infec-
tous and, accordingly, far more preva-
lent than it is usually thought. Trench
mouth is caused by the active pres
ence in the mouth of two specific
kinds of germs. While these germs are
often,-indeed, usually,-found in all
mouths, they do not become active
enough to produce the disease until
lowered systemic resistance, unclean

disease, allows the germs to multiply
So RAPIDLY that the defense forces of
the body cannot cope with them.
activity of these germs to a point
of disease results-among symtoms-
in bleeding and sore gums, bad breath
and finally, in ulcers of the soft tissues.
OF course, not all bleeding and sore
gums nor all bad breath are due to
vincents (trench MOUTH. Diagnosis
should depend upon examination by
competent dentist. His treatment will
be based on his opinion of contribut-
ing factors. 1t will consist of treat
ment of the dentist and of painstaking
home care under his advice.
"The disease is an important one
because of it's prevalence, infectious
ness and, in some cases, fatal results.
1t may be contracted by the promiscu-
GUS use of eating utensils that have not
been properly cleansed, or in the use
of common drinking cups and from
unsanitary drinking fountains. Those
who have the disease should take pre-
cautions to prevent injecting others.
