Triplett Team Is
Loser In TlUO Tits

Tangling with two of Northwest
ern Ohio's best softbal teams, q
crippled Triplett outfit lost close de-
cisions to Tiffin and Kenton teams
during the last week.
Routh Meat Packers, undefeated
team of Tiffin, took the measure OF
the locals for their 18th straight
victory of the season, to l, last
Friday night at Harmon field. On
Monday, the Mangesmen lost to Ken
ton Champions, 6 to 3, at kenton.
For six innings, the contest with
Tifin was a thrill-packed, closely
contested game. At the opening of
the seventh, with Titfin leading, 2
to l, Timer Spaeth, Bluffton start
ing hurler, had to leave the game
because of blistered foot.
Several fielding lapses and a mo-
mentary lack of pitching control re-
suited in three more Tiffin rallies in
the eighth to give the visitors de-
cided edge.
Buttons only run came in the
fifth stanza when the locals loaded
the bases with only one out. Fred
Hermann then was walked home
with the local teams lone tally
when Spaeth was passed.
At Kenton Monday night the Trip
lett crew ran into speedball pitch
er who allowed them only five hits,
and the Champion outfit of that
place copped 6 to 3 victory.
Kenton led all the way, getting
three runs in the second inning, one
in the fourth and two more IN the
eighth.
Norm Triplett Tailed the first
Bluffton run in the fifth when he
doubled, and came home on two long
sacrifice les.
In the eighth, with two men out
King doubled, Hermann doubled
scoring King, and Eikenbary doub-
led to score Hermann for two more
tallies.

New Studies Verify
lurse kenny's Theory
On PoIiomyeIiiis
Rochester Doctors Show
Muscle Sposm Is Always
Symptom Of Disease
y, the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. July l6. The frs
verification of an Australian nurses
belief that muscle spasrn is DAM
aging and ever present symptom o1
infantile paralysis was reported TO-
day in the journal OF the American
Medical Association.
BY making more than 500 graphic
records Of the electrical current pro-
duced by muscles In action, two
physicians substantiated this part
Of the once unaccepted teachings Of
Miss Elizabeth Kenny.
The proof was announced by DR..
r. Plato Schwartz and DR.. Harry
D. Bouman of the University of
Rochester School of Medicine and
Dentistry, Rochester. N. Y, whose
study was sponsored by the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
Until recently, most physicians
treated poliomyehtis in its acute
stage by utilization, using
splints and other devices to prevent
movement Of arms, legs and other
affected parts.
Instead, Miss Kenny's method is
to apply moist heat and start passive
exercise Of the affected parts. The
medical profession, after numerous
good results from her method, now
recognizes its value, but there had
been 10 previous laboratory evidence
verifying that muscle spasm is an
integral part Of acute poliomyelitis.
Miss Kenny, who came to the
United States to demonstrate her
method, contended the affected mus
cles in acute infantile paralysis were
in spasm. Such spasms involve in
voluntary contractions Of muscles,
including twitchings, irritability Ito
stretching and continuous contrac-
ton of some muscle f1bers. :
The physicians tested seven pa
tients with acute poliomyelitis, and
found spasm not only exists In the
muscle opposite the muscle weakened
BY the disease (known as the an
tagonistic MUSCLE, but also exists in
the weakened muscle itself-and in
muscles in parts Of the body that
showed no other evidence OF the
disease.
They emphasized their tests veri-
flying the presence Of spasm did not
show whether the spasticity caused
weakening of the muscle or is merely
another consequence Of infantile pa
r4lysis. 80
although methods Of preventing
the disease have not been discov-
cred, verification Of the presence Of
spasm explains why the Kenny
method results In the benefits that
have been observed.

Rubber Leaders Draw
Plan 10 Keep Civilian
Automobiles on Roads
Rigid Driving Economy,
Low Speeds Necessary;
U. S. to Get Program

The American rubber industry
after an intensive survey Of the
civilian tire situation, has drawn up
plan to be presented to the Fed
eral Government early next week by
which, industry statisticians claim,
practically all cars now on the roads
can be kept in use for essential driv-
ing.
1t promises no miracles, spokes-
man for the rubber industry said
yesterday. 1t realizes, perhaps more
than ANYBODY else, the acuteness Of
the rubber shortage.
The plan calls first for rigid econ
omy In driving and meticulous care
of tires. Pleasure driving is out un-
der the plan. The car owner must
watch his tires every day, keep them
properly inflated, and have blisters
and bruises repaired at once. The
speed limit will be 40 miles an hour.
Wornout Castings Wanted.
The rubber industry then pro-
poses that tires be turned in at re-
treading stations as soon as they
are worn out. A certain amount OF
rubber can be reclaimed from them.
This, mixed with q small amount of
new rubber, can be used to retread
tires not so badly worn and to keep
others in repair. The new rubber
requirement, it is believed. would be
met by only 5000 tons from the
Governments o0,00O-ton stockpile.
The plan then calls for = mini
mum replacement with new tires
made from the synthetic rubber
thiakol, which is outside the Gov
ernment's synthetic rubber pro-
gram. With present facilities, .
considerable amount Of thiakol can
be produced. It will make tire
that will be fairly efncient, but not
nearly as good as natural rubber.
There also. will, be an ssindeter-
mined amount Of hutylrubber avail
able. Rytyl tires are good for from
10000 t0 $4,000 miles Of careful
driving.
The rubber industry plan does
not call for retreadins with either
thiaka or D1tyl. Tht$ would b. .
procedure in the long run,
it is claimed, since netther Of, these
syntlaetic rubbess can sbsrleGlainnodE
and once a tire is worn out the
are useless.
Exhibit to Be Held.
The plan. backed by statistics
which the rubber industry has been
gathering for months, will be turned
over to the Government at an ex-5
hibit to be held at the Mayflower
Tuesday.
The plan was described IN 4
statement issued through the War
Production Board yesterday by A.
L. Viles, president Of the Rubber
Manufacturers Association, as one
which the industry '.hopes may help
Ii keeping essential war materials
and war workers on the highways"
.'This pian," the statement con-
tinued, docs not envision relaxa-
tion Of present restrictions. It does
not permit pleasure driving, and
even for essential car operations
calls for low speeds and continuous
tire care"
