Report Shows Rise
In Disease Cases
Here During 1911
Communicable Illnesses On
Increase, But Pneumonia
Cases Fall OFF

Figures releasedthis week by DR..
r. H. Riley, director of the State
Department of Health, show that
there was nearly twice as much
sickness from reportable diseases
- those usually spoken of as
Catching" or Communicable - dur
ing the six months ended June 30
of this year, as during the first
half of 1910.
Over 41,400 cases of these dis
eases were reported to the State
Department of Health from Janu-
airy ! to June 30 of this year, in
comparison with over 22,5OO cases
during the first six months of 1910.
OF those occurring during the first
half of the current year, 16,05S
cases were reported from the coun-
ties and 25,364 from Baltimore
city. The 1910 cases were distri-
buted as follows: 8,343 reported
from the counties and 1920 from
Baltimore city.
German measles, of which 9,760
cases were reported this year, in
comparison with 81 during the first
half of 1910, was responsible for
nearly one-fourth the total sick
ness from all catching diseases.
The disease was widely prevalent
and attacked grown-ups as well as
children. Marked increases in
other diseases added their quota to
this years high total. There were
over 5000 more cases of measles
than during the first half of 1910;
over 1,750 more of influenza; 1,4O0
more of mumps; over 300 more of
tuberculosis and over 1,7O0 more
cases of the venereal diseases.
These were offset by a decrease of
over 500 cases of pneumonia and
of over 1,7O0 cases of whooping
cough.
Comparative figures for the six
months period for each of the
above, were as follows: Measles
6,296 cases in 1941, lat in 1910;
humps, Ito in 1941, 374 the pre-
vious year; influenza, 3,013 in 1941,

the future he will fall in line with
the seven other managers Of our
league in conducting himself and his
ball club on the field"
In our opinion the incident was
far from well handled. Dykes is an
aggressive. peppery manager, al
ways willing to fight for a cause he
considers just. He packs more color
than any other manager in the
league. His players like him. White
SOx Notwithstanding Mrs. COmis-
key-back him up all the way, and
Chicago's south side fans swear by
him.
In short, Jimmy is not only the
best manager in the American
league but he has done as much or
more than any other person to keep
the league on its toes.
When Harridge lifted the suspen-
sion, he remarked:
"Our Office has always praised
Jim's handling of players. We credit
him with doing wonders for bali
players other people have given up
on. But the American league will
eliminate rOwdyism and abusive lam
guage. Once in a while we have to
step ON somebody's toes in this re-
gard, but that's just too bad. We've
got to do It,"
There should be no argument On
one particular-the elimination of
abusive language. Profanity Is OBJ
jectionable to the fans-and particu-
larry offensive to women patrons.
Umpires, contrary to Dykes, are hui
man and deserve at least mini
mum Of civility.
RotUdyism
But "rowdyism" Is too general a
term. One player, guilty Of an Of
Tense, might be considered rowdy
while another, committing the same
act, might be termed colorful.
Where is the dividing line? It's ex-
ceedingly trite, but circumstances
do alter cases.
Then, too, baseball isn't a parlor
game. Players are more than autom-
atoms, trained to obey stated set
Of rules. A good ball player-or
managers one who does his best to
win ball games. He does everything
he can, without FORGETTING sporfs-
manship, to beat an opponent
officials are smart enough to real
ize that color Is an indispensable
part Of baseball. without IL the game
would be little mere than a mechan-
icaI exhibition Of ability. And pay
ing customers would become as rare
as British tourists in Berlin.

By ROBERT McSHANE


alIlIlIlIlIlIlllIIllllII Observation-Disclosures
DROOF of James j. Dykes wide
! spread popularity came not long
ago when the fiery manager Of the
Chicago White Sox was cooped up in
the American league doghouse for
bulldozing umpires and using high
pressure language ON the playing
field.
President Will Harridge Of the
American league placed Dykes in
baseball's st. Helena when Jimmy
took slightly profane exception to an
umpire's ruling during game with
Cleveland. Jimmy, who refuses to
hide his sincere dislike Of the boys
in blue, drew an indefinite sus-
pension for his brash outbreak. His
exile lasted one week.
Shortly after Harridge announced
the suspension Of Dykes, Chicago
newspaper conducted . survey to
determine whether or mot Jimmy Is
Offensive" to fans and owners
around the American league circuit.
At least two club presidents and six
out Of seven topnotch baseball writ
ers declared themselves sympathet-
lie with James. The seventh writer
admitted that Jimmy was popular,
but remarked that his protests do
get bit tiresome, largely because
Of their frequency.
AS you've probably forgotten, Har-
ridges suspension statement read:
For his conduct and use Of OBJ

would remain suspended until ''he

Another Hot Match

With Williams and DiMaggio grab
bling off most of the wild laurel
sprigs in the American league, you
can look for another hot scramble
in the N. L. between Pete Reiser of
the Dodgers and Johnny Mize of the
Cardinals.
1t might interest you to know, if
you care for the succulent statistics
in baseball, that Johnny Mics five
year average with the Cardinals is
now 1889 up through 1940-just four
points below DiMaggio's mark for
the same span.
Big John is one Of the top hitters
of his time. Ball players through
the South this last spring all picked
him as the best hitter in the older
league. Mize halls from Demarest,
Ca, not SO far away from Royston
where Ty Cobb spent his younger
years. Ever notice how most Of the
top ones come from the unsung
hamlets-not from the big towns?)
Mize has a freshman challenger in
Brooklyn's Pete Reiser, who in his
first year on big time has been
whacking away between $50 and
$40 most Of the season.
Pete Reiser Is the ball player
named by Leo Durocher as the
next Ey Cobb--provided there will
ever be another Ty Cobb. Reiser is
1S5 pounds Of speed, power, head
and heart" according to Durocher's
estimate.
Reiser is now just 81. Don't eSr-
get that when Tyrus Raymond was
a Tiger debutante he batted 1922.
But from there on he finished with
a lifetime average Of 1857 for "A
years-and that, my fellow country
men, is something to shoot at.
But for all that. the stretch duels
between Williams and DiMaggio,
Mize and Reiser. will add consid-
erably to the general public interest
in both races. Suppose someone
else beats them nut? What Of it?
They are still the four best hitters
in the two big leagues over a period
Of time.

wrists deliver most of the poison.
The main feature of Ted Williams

lack Of tension. Williams won't be

with the ease and confidence of a
veteran who has been through many
baseball wars. In this respect he
