Harry Truck" Hannah, big enough
to be part of the Rocky Mountain
range, was an idol of fam all over the
Union circuit, when he was on the
payroll of the Butte club that Honest
John" McCloskey managed, back in
1911.
The big fellow was saturated with
good nature. When he moved up into
"big time" fans around his neck of the
woods were pulling for him to make
good. He was on the payroll OF the
New York Yankees for several years.
Later he served a long term with the
Los Angeles club, as first string catcher,
then second string catcher and as
coach. Now Truck is manager OF the
Angel team, getting the portfolio a few
weeks ago..
Hannah has had a long career as a
player. At the end of the 1886 sea-
son, Truck" had put in a quarter OF
a century as IN active player. His JOB
with the Butte club in 1911 was his
first in organized baseball. Along with
Alex Remneas, Hannah was sold to
Detroit at the end of that season. The
Tigers shipped him to Chattanooga be-
fore he had a chance to report in the
automobile center. In the span OF 70
years, Hannah has seen service In one
major and many minor leagues.

an article about early-day horse rae
ing in Montana. The late Marcus DAILY
has the leading role in a story in which

failing to collect on the winner because
his bet ticket was lost in a fire.
Frank G. Menke, editor of the e
magazine, is well known to Montana
sportsmen as one of the leading nation
al sportswriters. He is also personally
known to many other Treasure state
residents through his covering of the
Dempsye-G Gibbons fight at Shelby in
1928. While in Montana, Mr.. Menke
married a very charming Montana girl,
Miss Mary KingSbury.

bat, he socked the old apple for a
long ride. With much putting and huff
ing he reached second base before the
ball was returned to the infield. Any
one else could have made third or home.

you made it in less than a minute"
The Truck" mann stuck.
Hannah was a smart catcher; a good
man for any manager to have around.
His ability wa recognized by the own
ers of the Los Angeles club when they
gave Jack Lelivelt, veteran leader, his
walking papers. Los Angeles wasn't in
the market for a successor to Lelivelt;
the club had a man on the payroll who
could fill the bill, so the appointment
was given to Truck" His career as a
manager will be watched closely by
scores of Montana friends.

TUBERCULOSIS
CASES DECLINE
EIGHTEENTH BIENNIAL REPORT
OF STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
LISTS DISEASES

Tuberculosis cases IN Montana
showed q reduction In number In
1885 and 1886 as compared with the
preceding two-year period, and the
total of infantile paralysis cases
fell to an all-time low, according
to the 18th biennial report Of the
Montana state board of health.
In the 1s35-1s36 period there were
major epidemics of measles, scarlet
fever and smallpox in the state. The
measles epidemic occurred in the first
half of 1885, while the smallpox and
scarlet fever epidemicS carried over
from that year into 1886.
Regarding tuberculosis, poliomyelitis
and meningitis, the report stated:
Tuberculosis: There has been con-
siderable reduction in the number of
reported cases of tuberculosis during
this biennial period as compared with
the preceding biennial period. We do
not think that this reduction in re-
ported cases is entirely due to a lack of
adequate reporting, but there probably
has been a definite reduction in active
cases during the past two years. The
division of communicable disease has
co-operated on several occasions with
the State tuberculosis association in
carrying out MantouX testing programs
in high schools of the state for the
detection of cases of tuberculosis.
~Poliomyelitis: Following the epidemic
of poliomyelitis in Montana in 1884,
the year 1885 showed an all-time low
in the number of reported cases, seven
cases being reported in 1885 and 10
cases for the first 10 months of 1886.
These figures are extremely low con-
sidering the marked increase in the
incidence of this disease in many of
the other states during this period.
Meningococcic meningitis: The num-
Der of cases reported the last bien-
mum has been but slightly in excess of
the average for the previous five-year
period. In view of the fact that in the
registration area as a whole the Incl
dence has been five times the normal
amount in the last two years.
