PRESIDENT TENER
REFORMS PLAYERS
Abuse of Umpires No Longer
Feature of National Game.
i
JOHNNY EVERS IS TAMED.
Boston’s Talkative Second Sackep Has
Been Forced to Keep Off Arbiters. I
He Protests Against Rigidity of
Rule, but Executive Ignores Him.
Parlor baseball is not desired In tile
National league despite the repeated
assertions by Johnny Evers, captain
of the Poston Braves, that President
Toner is making a parlor game of the
pastime by checking the players from
lighting for every decision they can get
on the field. Clean, aggressive sports
manlike baseball is wanted in the older
major organization, and it is to that
end that Tener is striving.
There is nothing that Tener likes bet
ter than a hustling ball player, one who
will take advantage of every play that
presents itself on the field, but will not
endeavor to gain a victory by abusing
the umpires. The president does not
think that the proper kind of baseball
and has succeeded in making the man
agers and players in his league realize
it. Only one man, Evers, continues to
protest, but he is being ignored by
Tener. and the National league is trav.
eling today at a smooth pace and is
furnishing the fans a finer grade of
playing than they have seen in years.
Puts Ban on Profanity.
Tener does not object to players pro
testing to the umpire when he makes a
close decision, but he puts the ban on

PRESIDENT JOHN K. TKNEB.
; profanity to tbe arbiters that Is often
j beard by the spectators In tbe stand,
i His contention Is that a ball player can
] question a verdict without using irn
i proper language, and that Is what be
; is striving to impress upon them.
' Tbe league has been rid of objection
able players. Tbe result is tbe games
; are played with more alacrity and
speed. Tbe aggressiveness has not been
j taken from tbe men through Tenor's
; drastic instructions. They are play
■ ing a higher grade of baseball because
j their minds are on their work instead
; of on the umpires and their decisions.
Pay Littio Attention to Rulings.
Heretofore players abused the officials
unnecessarily because they were per
rnitted to do so This was enjoyed by
some fans, but not by others. Today
the majority of fans do not care who
is officiating behind the plate or on the
bases and care little what the decisions
are. although they may go against the
; home club. At the time the verdict is
! given they protest,, but after the game
j few remarks are ever heard concerning
| the decisions.
i Evers has tamed down considerably.
! although he says it has affected his
j playing. Heinie Zimmerman is not the
j trouble maker he was before. Miller.
! Huggins. John McGraw. Larry Doyle,
f Buck Herzog and many others have
| been forced to realize that lighting the
j umpires is only a waste of time. Me
| Graw recently said so in New York
and does not do one-third the battling
| he did in the past. There Is no differ
ence in the work of his team ns a re
1 suit. It plays and hustles as well as
it did when he was assailing the um
pires.
National league umpires have had
less trouble this season than ever be
fore because of President Teuer's strict
laws concerning the actions of the men
on the field. Not a single man has been
suspended to date, and only a few have
been fined. This is because the play
ers have learned to take a decision
gracefully, and also because the urn
pires have been instructed to turn a
deaf ear to the protests of the players
unless there is profanity.
Club owners have also done much to
assist Teiier In curbing the rowdy ac
tions of the players on the field Be
fore the season opened they notified
the men that their fines would positive
ly not be paid as in the past If they
were punished to the extent of $o0 01
$100 It would be taken out of their
checks. Players do not like to lose any
of their pay, and that has helped to
lame them.

Epidemic of Infantile Paralysis
Puzzles New York Doctors.
MOVIES CLOSED TO YOUNG.
No One Under Sixteen Will Be Ad
mitted— Sunday Schools Discontin
ued—Symptoms Confusing, and Sci
entists Have Been Unable to Isolate
the Germ or Find Cure.
Anterior Poliomyelitis. — An in
fective contagious disease, prob
ably of microbic origin, in which
the anterior horns of gray matter
of the spinal cord are attacked,
producing destruction of their cells
and causing motor paralysis; more
common in children and hence often
called infantile paralysis. — Web
ster's Dictionary.
This definition of infantile paralysis,
written several years ago for laymen.
Is practically all that the medical world
knows today regarding the dread dis
ease now epidemic in New York. In
1007 an epidemic of infantile paralysis
swept through the city, causing thou
sands of deaths.
With tlie epidemic growing daily,
$41,000 has been set aside by the city
for immediate expenditure in coping
with the disease, and arrangements
have been made that $39,000 more will
be available if needed.
“Great and imminent peril to the
public health exists," asserts the board
of health. The money will lie spent to
employ fifty additional hospital doctors,
fifteen additional Ueld doctors and at
least liio additional nurses.
Three thousand theaters and moving
picture houses are now closed to chil
dren under sixteen years of age; sum
mer schools are being called off; mili
tary camps for boys in the vicinity of
the Greater City are being placed under
tbe strictest regulations; Sunday school
picnics and excursions are being aban
doned, Sunday schools discontinued
for tbe summer in many parishes, and
tbe hegira of children from tbe city
progressed appreciably.
Every effort has been put forward to
trace the germ that causes the ailment
and thus find a cure, such as was ac
complished in typhoid and diphtheria.
During the 1907 epidemic a committee
composed of the most eminent medical
men In the United States made a sys
tematic study of infuntile paralysis
with the purpose of accurately cata
loguing the symptoms of the disease
and of identifying the germ that caus
ed it. With the germ properly identi
fied tbe task of finding a serum to kill
it and thus produce a cure for Infantile
paralysis would not be a difficult one.

Find Symptoms Confusing.
But the eminent medical men found
themselves against a stone wall. The
report which they had prepared on the
1907 epidemic shows that in some cases
the symptoms were fever and chills; in
others they were not: in some cases
that the juvenile sufferer vomited and
was delirious; in others that the suffer
ers showed entirely different symptoms.
The bacteriologists had no better suc
cess. Headed by Dr. Simon Flexner ol
the Rockefeller institute, they segre
gated the poliomyelitis germ, but were
unable to identify it further than to
find that it showed a similarity to the
virus of human rabies. They injected
germs of infantile paralysis into ani
mals, and of those experimented upon
monkeys were the only ones that con
tracted the disease. This was interest
ing. but not vitally instructive in so
far as finding a cure for infantile pa
ralysis was concerned.
The 1907 epidemic passed, the medi
cal men drew up a long report, and in
fantile paralysis was practically for
gotten until the present scourge began
sweeping over New York. With the
coining of the 1910 epidemic the med
ical profession found itself just where
it was in 1907. It knew that a germ
caused infantile paralysis, but it did
not know how to deal with the germ
except to eradicate it by the one meth
oil used in dealing with all deadly
germs—absolute cleanliness.
Therefore cleanliness has been the
slogan of the health department in the
present epidemic. Dr Charles F. Bol
duan. head of the bureau of public
health education of the health depart
ment. told how the fight against Infan
tile paralysis is being waged.
"We have physicians, nurses and in
spectors out seeking cases of the dis
ease day and night,” he said. “We also
are conducting a campaign of publicity
so that parents may know how to keep
the deadly gerui from their homes.
The department of health has prepared
a map on which a daily record of the
disease is kept
“Parents must not give way to fright
or hysteria. If a child becomes sick a
competent physician should lie sum
moned at once. If a child is given
plenty of fresh air and sunshine and
kept amid eleau surroundings there is
no great danger of its contracting the
disease.”
Lynching* Show Decrease.

tute show that there were twenty-' vr |
lynchings in the United States during 1
the first six months of this year com
