Chicago—Extinction of the ground ,
sguim*! as well as of the rat may be
V*ceesary if Chicago is to avoid the
bubonic plague, according to Dr. W. A. ;
head of the city health depart
ment
Dr Evans has received the health j
Pulletin of the federal government :
ahich contains an alarming report on ■
the spread of bubonic plague by fieas
that infeat these animals. He re
newed his advice for the killing of
every rat in the city.
Cp to August 15. 1SW, government
inspectors found 1“» squirrels in Con- '
tra Costa county, California, infected
»:th the piague Orders were given
*;ter«ard to poison every squirrel in !
that county The government will i
serd out free poison for this purpose
Two cases that caused Dr Evans to i
renew his warning for the extinction
of rats in Chicago and that may place
the squirrel in the same catagory are
as follows:
“July 15. lWt. a boy who lived on a
ranch in the northern part of Contra
Costa county, died of the plague
Later in the same month a young
woman of Pinole canyon succumbed
“Infected rats were found on the
ranch adjoining that on which the boy
lived, according to the government
report, and an Infected squirrel was
found near the bouse where he nad
lived The boy had beer shooting
squirrels several days before he died
and thrust his ami down Jnlo a squ.r
rel burrow to ret one of the animals
he had shot. His arm was bitten by
fleas, accordinr to the rovernment
physicians and the disease const unl
cated in that way
"There is always a constant menace
of the bubonic plarue anywhere in the
l nited States.” said Pr. Evans, "now
that it has jwt a hold in California
If it should ever be introduced into
Chicaro the conditions would be
alarminr. owinr to the prevalence of
rats and the difficulties of extertnina
tinr them
"The buildinr regulations of most
places In California call for rat-proof
cellars, but here It Is too late to take
such precautions We woul' also
have to provide for rat-proof garbage
cans and keep the rats away (rota all
food in the alleys and cellars.
“The government official' recognise
the danger of the spread of the
plague and are taking every means to
prevent It. Prevention Is better than
cure, and Chicago must assist in the
work.
"If the squirrel Is in the same class
as the rat he must also be exter
minated”
Following Dr. Evans' first warning
to exterminate rats, many large busi
ness houses in Chicago called In rat
catchers. It Is estimated tnat since
the crusade against rodents was start
ed a year ago nearly SOO.M# rmt4 nave
been killed in the city.

PLAYERS NEARLY READY
FOR SEASON'S 0PENIN6
<• »
WEATHER GOOD FOR BASEBALL
PRACTICE THIS SPRING AND
MEN SHOW FINE CONDITION.
So far as condition Is concerned tbs
baseball players should start this
season on pretty even terms. There
never has been a spring when the ele
ments treated the players In practice
better. Front the various training
camps have cotue reports mostly of
sunshine and very few of the training
games have had to be postponed
With the opening of the season now
only a few days off interest in the
great national pastime has about
reached the fever stage On April 14
when the National and American
eagues start their Ibid warfare there
will be more dead grandmothers, great
aunts and uncles than ever heard of
before. Judging from the early Interest
taken by the fans K very body will
want to get off to see the first game
and the old excuses for getting away
from work will be used along with
the new .
Of course no man can tell what the
weather will be on April 14. but if it
is a clear day in the eight cities com
posm* the big league* more than JOA
tW person* will be in the grand
stands and bleachers cheering for
their favorites
From the reports sent from the
training camps every team should be
right on edge and the players eager
for the fray The Chicago So* have '
had the worst luck, losing the serv
ices of the veteran catcher and last
season's manager. Filly Sullivan. Tha
great catcher had the misfortune t«*
step on a rusty nail and the woun*
can e near causing lockjaw
The same old Question is raised,
however, and that is whether condi
tion shown by the players is any in
dication of the true ability of a team
Tim Mumane, in discussing the ques
tion, says;
"la 1$P7 the Boston club lost every
exhibition game played with minor
league clubs, with the exception of
one tie, and yet put up remarkable
baseball from start to finish, finally
beating out the great Baltimore team
for the championship, by winning two
out of three games on the Oriole
grounds.
■’Fred Tenney and William Keeler
alone of those two great teams are
to-day in major league company, as
ball players. Keeler a questionable
quantity, and Tenney on the guessing
list. Joe Kelley. Jimmie Collins and
Billy Hamilton are piaying In the
minor association, with Jennings. Me
Gr&w and Duffy managing major
league teams.
-The great difficulty in getting a
good line on the big teams during the
exhibition games, is the fact that
yoangsters are being tried out. ard
the best pitchers refuse to take
chances In curving the ball to the
bunifn The veteran players are
slew in coming to the firing line,
while the young players are working
thwir heads off to hjld their places.
* The great ball teams seldom reach
their best work until after going the
ro-.nds with a series with each club,
after which they settle down to steady
bail playing, working along plans
mipped out after looking each other
over.
"A poor start means very little to a
veteran team, but has the reverse ef
fect on a team made up of young
bk-od. 1 think that Pittsburg is the
best-trained team to-day in the coun
try. take it year in and year out Fred
Clarke starts out with less men than
any other manager, giving those men
he has with the club a chance to
work out carefully, taking no chances
of injury by playing practice games
while his men are tender and unfit for
the Jr best work.
—The Pittsburg manager works
alorg the old lines of gradually build
ing up to a point where the hoys can
