WHITE PLAQUE LESS DEADLY
Decrease In Death Rate From
culoala Means Saving of 27,000
Uvea In Tan Yeara.
In the decade from 1901 to 1910, th«
death rate from tuberculosis In the
United States declined from 196.9 for
each 100,000 persons living to 160.3, a
decrease of 18.7 per cent, while the
general , death rate, including all
causes of death, declined only one-half
as faat, or at the rate of 9.7 per cent,
from 1655.0 to 1495.8, according to fig
ures given out by the National Asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis. The figures are based
on data abstracted from the reports
of the United States Bureau of the
Census, and cover tbe registration
area in this country. According to the
statement, the tuberculosis death rate
has delitned steadily since 1904, when
It was 201.6. On the other hand, the
general death rate shows a fluctuation i
downward In general trend, but not aa
steady as the tuberculosis rate. The (
decline In the tuberculosis death rate j
In the last ten years means a saving
of 27,000 lives at the present time.

-JIMMY McALEER'S PART IN WINNING
CLEVELAND'S ONLY WORLD'S PENNANT
IT'B a far cry from player to major league magnate, but that Is the leap '
James R. McAleer has taken In the last doxen years. In 1895 be was
"Gentleman Jim" on the rough and ready Cleveland Spiders, one of the j
formidable clubs of that day. Jimmy McAleer was a brilliant, Hustling
fielder, probably the fastest outfielder of that decade. Hs could knock j 1
down a bully in the baseball ranks, sprint to the sign board for a bot liner j
or execute a pennant-winning play
with a dash and an enthusiasm that '
* made him a shining success. The 1
same qualities have made him one of J
\ McAleer starred as one of the
bright lights of the 1895 series for tbe |
■ Temple cup and helped bring tbe only
world's pennant to Cleveland In Its
history. Without the brilliant field
f!f lug of McAleer ths Oriole* would
' ¥J have won the first game of that se
£ ries. Baltimore In that event prot>-
AS ably would have taken the world's
ofi baseball. Hanlon's great machine
fi had W ° D the Natlonallle u * chain- .
, fi j/ hausted its strength as in tbe prevl
pr/ * ous year, owing to the grueling bat
. , / Tin" opening scene for the world's
BF { { ■ % pennant struggle was set at Cleveland
' - and the battle fell on October 2. Cy
Young, the pitching hero of tbe series,
Jimmy McAleer. f wag rounding out one of the great
seasons of his eventful career. He was the slab choice to stop tbe heavy
hitting brigade from Baltimore.
Although others contributed to Young's support in this Important game,
without the great catch of McAleer in the sixth Inning and his timely bunt |
In the ninth, the Orioles would have taken this contest and probably the
pennant.
It was a struggle of sharp hitting and clever fielding. The Orioles were
making their best stand for the Temple cup and that meant they were formid
able at every Btage. Cleveland led 2 to 1 up to the eighth, but the real crisis
had passed In the Rlxth inning. Baltimore's trio of awful swatsmen came up
in that round and the game; as events proved, hinged on the play of McAleer.
John J. McOraw dropped a hit back of third base and Willie Keeler
bunted him to second. Hughle Jennings came up In the plncb and a wave of
unrest swept over the Cleveland crowd. They had seen this aggressive player
"clean up" on so many occasions that they feared for the result. The pres
ent leader of the Tigers was having one of his best seasons as a batsman.
He had hit near the .400 mark In the National league season. The fears of
Ibe crowd were well grounded. The heavy hitting Oriole shortstop met one
of Cy Young's curves with a crash thut seemed to doom the Spiders to im
pending disaster.
McAleer divined Instantly what was coming. He was away almost wltb
the crack of the hickory. Away back Into deep center he sailed with the
speed of a deer, pulled down the hit, stopped the rally and saved the game.
Tho Orioles, battling to the last ditch, tied up the score In the eighth and |
went ahead in the ninth, but the Spiders scored the winning run In the last j
half of the ninth, when McAleer bunted, enabling Childs to score from third
on Zlmmer's Infield hit.
Jimmy McAleer made the greatest play of his life when he bought stock
In the Itostpn club, one of the best paying franchises In baseball, but his next
best plays were his timely catch and opportune bunt In another decade, whlcb
helped place him among the game's greatest stars.

MORDECAI BROWN'S PENNANT-WINNING
FIELDING FEAT
LONG after Mordecal's wonderful right arm of bone and sinew has paid
the toll of age—seasons after the three-lingered marvel of the dia
mond has pitched Ills last baseball attired as a major leaguer, will
the memory of his startling play of brain and skill one bright October
day at Detroit cling to those who were fortunate enough to see the
exhibition.
Th« Chicago Cubs with their matchless machine Intact had beaten the i
Tigers twice and George Mullln's great pitching gave the jungle fighters their |
only victory. Eliminate the wonderful play of Brown and Detroit might have
won the fourth game, even up the series and taken the world's champion- |
■—fc Mortises! Brown; '
Brown was fully alive to the situation. He flashed a signal along the
line for Harry Stelnfeldt to be ready for a surprise at third. Cub pltch
er'a brain wai at work to outwit the greatest batting player of the age. He
figured Cobb would bunt and bunt he did. It was laid down perfectly.
The startled fana aaw the form of Brown crouch cloae to the ground,
lunge madly at the ball, whirl and fire the sphere to Steinfeldt. The throw
came half a step ahead of O'Leary rushing down on third. The crowd wu
daisied and Crawford at second so bewildered that Johnny Kllng relayed the
ball to Tinker, practically completing a double play that saved the day for
the Cubs and gave Chance another pennant. . ,

ship of 1908.
Singularly enough Brown's ptvotal >
play was not a pitching feat, although
It helped win his own game, but a
fielding achievement in which quick
thinking and clever maneuvering
were the all Important factors.
Brown's great pitching on that day
was effective enough to win the game
with good fielding. Tinker's fielding
was spectacular all the way through,
but Brown s play coming at the dan
ger point, bordered on the marvelous.
It was pronounced the greatest play
of the world's series of 1908.
Had "Brownie" failed to think In
that crisis, Cobb's great speed and
perfect bunt would have filled tbe
bases for Detroit and the series might
have stood two all. As It was tbe
Cubs won, practically clinching their
grip on a second world's bunting.
Charley O'Leary brought a gleam
of hope to ths Tiger fans In tbe
fourth inning when he batted a single
to, left. "Wahoo Sam" Crawfoql drove
tbe crowd wild with cheering when
be smashed out a drive to left,
O'Leary halting at second. Those des
perate fans knew tbe great Cobb was
yet to come to bat They hoped for
a home run that would put Detroit
In the lead.

Premier Pitcher Chicago White Sox,
Who le Regarded by Many ae the
Greateet Pitcher the Game
Haa Ever Known.
There len't any doubt In my mini
u to the worst mistake I ever made
In a ball game. Of course a fellow
j makes a lot of them. They are mis
takes if they go wrong, and brainy
plays if they go right, so it is all in
the day's work. A pitcher who is
forced to keep guessing all the time
Is going to be outguessed sometimes,
and the one who guesses right often
est is the best. But this one stung me.
{ I felt like a fellow who has been dou
ble-crossed.
It was in a game at Boston, a close
game that we had won by one run.
I always* had been very effective
against Boston, and even more effec
tive against Jake Slahl than against
any of the others. You know how it
Is—sometimes a good hitter has
something on a good pitcher, and
sometimes a pitcher baa aometblng
]on the best of batters. Jake and I
used to laugh at each other, for it
seemed to be his bad luck to come up
to bat In the pjnehes against me. Just
when Boston needed a hit, and he
struck out so often we got to kidding
Ed. Walsh.
each other. The laugh was all on my
side. One summer, the season before
this happened, I think Jake struck
out to end the game half a dozen
times; and after the season was over
I I pitched part of an exhibition game
against him down east, and it hap
; pened he came up in the ninth with
a chance to win and struck out again.
Of course I kidded him about it. and
kept it up all summer, thinking It
would make him more anxious to hit
| —so anxious that he would be easier
' still.
Late In the summer we got togeth
er In the game I'm telling about. We
I had a lead of one run, two men were
l on the bases (first and second), no
one out, and I was a bit wild. Maybe
my idea that Stahl would swing at
j wide ones made me wild. It looked
I a thousand to one that he would try
to sacrifice, but the first ball was too
wide. He let It go. I slipped the
next one outside and he let that go,
too. Then I guessed he might take
a swing at the next one and I put
everything on the spltter and dropped
It over. I thought it was over, but
the umpire thought not —and there
wero threo balls and no strikes. I
saw Fred Lake, who was managing
the team then, motioning to Stahl,
; and watched closely while I was get

; with his toes dug in, yelling for me
i to put it over and telling me where
• he would knock it _ Now It was
a thousand to one that, with men on
! first and second, none out, and three
i balls and no strikes, no ball player
, would hit that ball. But even then
> I didn't forget that he might The
i thing that convinced me he wouldn't

I pretends he la going to hit It is a mil

FIGHT ON TURKEY PARASITES
Youngsters Muet Be Protected Prom
Excuse!ve Heat and Dampness,
Says Government Bulletin.
No kind of young poultry is so sus
oeptlble to the effects of unfavorable
conditions as the young turkey. They
must be carefully protected from the
attacks of parasites, and from execs
live heat and dampness, says a gov
ernment bulletin, until they have
gained sufficient strength and size to
wander away with the parent tur
keys and care for themselves on tho
range.
Tho chief danger from 11 oe and
mites attacks to the poults is direct
ly after the poults ars batched, but
the best remedy is to deal with the
ben before the young are hatched.
The plumage of the hen should be
1 dusted with Insect powder, and close
; down to the skin from head to hock
Joint being careful not to get it Into
the eyes. This should be done at
least twice a week until twn or three
days before batching.
The most careful attentions should
be given to this. Never use lime or
' sulphur for this purpose. Nothing is
better than some insect powder, if it
' does not contain ingredients that are
Injurious to the eyes.
It may often occur, however, that
the hen will not have been properly
treated, and also the Hoe end mites
will be found on the young, end in
order tbst the poults may live and
| thrive, they must be freed of thees
! enemies. As soon ss the young are
| ready to leave the nest they must be
| examined carefully for lice, which
' may be on the top of the bead, under
the throat or about the wings or
vent. Some of them are gray in color
and difficult to see.
They may be destroyed by the use
of sweet oil, rubbing a small amount
upon the head and throat; Insect pow
der Is sufficient for the other parts
of the body. It is very Important
that only a small amount of the aweet
oil be used, as too much is injurious.
Kerosene should never be used to
destroy parasites. v
