KEEP PET ON LEASH.
AVOID RABIES SCARE

For wan: Of leash a rabies cpl
demic' is born
Thus the Gaines Dog Research
Center, New York City, sums up
what is probably the least-compre-
hended fact about rabies. II explains
it as follows:
If every dog owner kept his pet
on leash al all times there would
be no possibility of his straying
away. II he did not stray away,
there would be no opportunity for
ninl 10 get into trouble by fighting
with other dogs or swapping at stran-
geir who might attempt TO pet or
tease him II he did not snap at
strangers, the cry of Mad Dog"
would not likely be raised. there
would be no excitement or hysteria
eliminating IN a rabies epidemic
and the summary execution Of many
animals
According to the Center. true rabies
is relatively uncommon disease In
a typical year. IN the entire United
States. only 1000 dogs are affected.
Rabies is no more prevalent in sum-
mer than in winter but you hear
more about rabies in summer because
men and animals mingle more freely
outdoors in hot weather. A really
rabid dog flies forward aimlessly but
does not attack unless provoked OF
annoyed. Preventive rabies vaccines
are available at veterinarians, though
their effectiveness & still a matter Of
debate.

Hhshberg Counsel
Plans Appeal From
ICourt-MahiaI Verdict
BY the Asseeiatsd Press


NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Counsel
for Harold E. Hirshberg, 29-year-old
chief signalman who was convicted
yesterday by a Navy court-martial
board Of striking two fellow prison
ers in Japanese prison camps, says
he may challenge the boards
jurisdiction in the case.
1t. Comdr. John J. O'Neil, the
petty officers counsel, said he was
considering having a civilian attor-
ney file writ Of habeas corpus in
Federal Court in Brooklyn. The
action would contend that the Navy,
by giving Hirshberg an honorable
discharge March 26, 1916, lost the
right to try him for offenses COM
nttted before that date. Hirshberg
had re-enlisted the next day.
Meanwhile, Hirshberg is awaiting
announcement Of his sentence by
Read Admiral Monroe Kelly. COM
mandant Of the Third Naval Dis
trict, to whom the boards verdict
was sent for review. It is subject
to further review by Rear Admiral
Archibald Colcloush, Navy Judge

SdndIot Football to Make Big Comeback Bid
With Twin Bill at Griffith Stadium Sunday

reimburse those fellows who were
hurt, present trophies to the WIN
ners and perhaps give dinner.
Most of our teams have prac-
ticed virtually every day and
they play a pretty good brand Of
football. I'd say about 30 per
cent of our games were closely
contested. Our unlimited game
will be a natural, since both Car
Credit and Anacostia Eagles won
six games and played each other
a scoreless tie during the season.
"Well have a nice show, with
the Washington and Lee High
Band and the st. Johns College
Band there. We can't have too
much Of spectacle because with
two games it's going to be long
afternoon, but we're going to try
to give the fans a good time"
The Boys Club of Washington
has thrived with five leagues
ranging in weight from 30
Founders to 140 pounds, but in
the beef1er classes which figure to
attract more fans sandlot football
practically has been non existent
since the National City League
expired as the result of numerous
evils.
It comes out of the iron lung on
Sunday, when such former high
school stars as Andy Davis of
Tech, Paul Blaine Of Anacostia
and Phil Cocimano and Sonny
Settle OF Eastern will attempt to
convince the customers sandlot
football is worthy of more recog-
