Contagious Diseases
Reach Peck at 5 Years

NEW YORK.-A study of 200
New York City children indicates
that children are more likely to
get contagious diseases at about
S years of age than at any other
time.
They experience upper -respi-
ratory infections, however, at an
even rate from birth to IL years,
the study found. From birth to
10 years a child has about one
chance in five of being free from
such infections during any year
and one in three between the
ages of 10 and IL.

VALUE: The esthetic value of the

their CHEEKY presence around farms

their presence makes this old world

Joe Reardon, right handler, went
all the way for the Packets in the
nine-inning game and although he
gave up ten hits, he was unbeatable
in the clutch, except in the first and
seventh inings when Lancaster's two
runs crossed the plate. He struck
out five and didn't walk a man until
the seventh. Pierce was his catcher.
Don Graham, right handler, went
the round for Lancaster and George
was behind the plate Lancaster
took a one-run lead in the first inn
ing when Carr, the first man up, got
an infield hit and went to second on
Reedy's double. Giuliano then flied
to center with Carr scoring after
the catch, but Reardon set the next
two men down in order.
The Packets tied it up in the
fourth. Hrabovsky walked and
Powell took a third called strike, but
Alderman came through with a
double to center, scoring Hrabovsky
Sherman followed with another
double to center, but Alderman, who
slowed up thinking the bill might
be caught, was thrown out at the
plate when he finally got going
Pierce then flied to left.
Both teams scored a run in the
seventh, to make the score 20. Ir

Reedy walked and stole second

to 2.
Dick Hagen, lefthander, the los
ing pitcher, started for the Packets,
but was knocked out in the sixth inn
ing and was relieved by Garcia, who
did a fine relief job. Pierce was
behind the plate.
Paul Doughty went the route for
Norfolk and set the Packets down in
every inning but the second, when
they scored both their runs.
In fact, after giving a single in
the fourth frame, he pitched no-hit
ball the rest of the way, facing only
fifteen Hagerstown batters in the last
five frames. Brooks was again be-
hind the plate.

and came up with four double plays
Hagerstown took two-run lead

in the lineup and played leftfeld,
beat out hit to short and scored
ahead of Pierce, who for the second
day in a row, knocked one out of the
park.
Norfolk, however, tied it up in the
bottom half when, with a man on
base, Killoren, the centerfielder, also
got four Dagger.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY II. S. DOUGLAS

The Pony League 1854 season gets
underway on Saturday afternoon
with appropriate opening ceremonies.
The league, one of the most sue
cessful boys leagues in the county,
owes a large measure of its success
to the fine group of men and women
who are back of it, and l wish the
league another fine season.
The Packets are home again for
several days and l look for them
to move up into the first division be-
fore. they leave on their next road
trip.
Manager Campbell has had a
tough time of it, with not only him
self, but two other players, Follett
and Harris, plagued with injuries,
and once he gets his lineup straight
ened away, instead of, as at present,
having to juggle it around all the
time, 1 think you will find the team
beginning to really click.
With the arrival of Smith, the
catching staff has been really streng-
thened and if the new outfielder, who
has probably reported by the time
YOU read this, measures up to expec-
tations, that should take care of an
other of Campbell's troubles.
I sure am glad that the Baltimore
Orioles are beginning to click. With
pitching staff that, at present at
least, measures up with any in the
league, all it needs is for the team
to start hitting. l don't, of course,
expect to see. the Orioles make the
first division, but with little more
strength at the plate they could east
ly finish no worse than sixth.
