6eluted Outbursts WIN
FOR kosciusko Here

Late inning rallies by the Kos
ciusko baseball squad spelled disas.er
for the Durant lads last Sunday on
the local diamond, and the home
lings absorbed a twin licking. Scor=
of the opening tilt was 13 to 10,
while a 10 to 6 count prevailed in
the afterpiece.
Strange to say, the homelings out
hit the visitors in both contests L.
z and 81 and made fewer hobbies,
but the Whippets simply had a better
finishing aggregation.
The first five innings of the first
tilt saw the Tigers compile a 8 to 4
margin, but a nightmarish seventh
,rame which resulted in nine Kos
ciusko tallies completely overwhelm-
ed Durant. The nightcap was almost
a repetition of the starting game.
The invaders grouped their seven
hits in the fifth and sixth chapters
10 annex nine markers and assume
an advantage too much to overcome
Lockhart did the mound work for
Durant in the opening clash and
contributed a very net job of twirl-
ing until the fatal seventh stanza.
He had permitted the Attala crew
only two blows, both singles, until
the uprising came in the final chap
ter. A very odd thing about the
savage scoring spree is the fact
it began after the first two men
had been retired.
Jim Allen blasted a four-master
for the losers, while Cook collected
a four-base wallop for the victors.
Lockhart, Durham and Edwards each
collected a pair of safeties for the
Tigers, while Caballo had a duo OF
hits for Kosciusko.
In the second affair the home
forces garnered eight blows off the
delivery of Woods who, incidentally,
struck out IL batters, while the
Whippets we're securing safe

An all-time low for death from
malaria in Mississippi was seen in
in the 1941 provisional figure Of
LAG, just released by the Division Of
vital Statistics, Mississippi State
Board of Health. The 70 per cent
decrease over the 1888 figure Of
695 deaths attributed to this disease
is a direct result Of the malaria
control program Of the public health
agencies. This is a long term pro-
gram; evidence Of its effectiveness
is encouraging.
But according to a conservative
estimate, death occurs only once in
every $50 cases if malaria. Thus, in
a year yielding the fewest m~alarlal
deaths on record, Mississippi had
as many as $4,000 cases of malaria.
j. A. LIE Prince, Of U. S. Public
Health Service fame, once put the
national economic loss for one year
due to malaria at one hundred NH
lion dollars. In Mississippi the fin
ancial loss caused by this disease
is not easy to estimate but the
evidence Of loss is all around. Fol-
poverty follows close behind malaria
just as, on the other hand, commun;-
ty increases as malaria lessons. FIX.
perts agree that for the average
town in our Southern states, with
their high rate of malaria infection
anti-mosquito measures are not only
financially sound out a good invest
ment.
