Brooklyn Southpaw, is Good Because He Goes About Work in Businesslike Way. Admiration and praise is the life blood for some ball players, while oth ers love the game for the game's sake. Among the latter is Nap Rucker, the star left-hander of the Brooklyn team, and one of the best southpaw twirlers who ever drew on a glove This Is the player President Ebbets once said he would not trade for a whole ball team of good men. • I've always wished we had Rucker.” said President Murphy of the Cubs the other day. “and I’ll tell you one of the reasons Every day that Brooklyn is in Chicago and Rucker is scheduled to pitch you'll find him out at the ball park at 12 o'clock, dressed in his uni form. and taking light work in prep aration for the afternoon’s struggle. He bats a little, catches a few balls and tries his arm with anybody who ts willing to catch him. "As a result he is always In condi tion when the bell rings. He is so conscientious that he doesn’t leave a ■ stone unturned to win that ball game. Moreover, he keeps out of sight as much as possible, not caring for the grand hurrah that others seem to be seeking all the time." GOSSIP T Y^1MQ/VG I I SPORTS Emil Thiry is one of the most adept tight handlers in the business. "Home Run” Baker has ordered nine new bats. Some authorities put it at twelve.

According to the announcement which the Swedish Olympic commit tee has made concerning the order of events at the international games which are to be held at Stockholm. In July, the Swedes have played rather a sharp trick on the rest of the ath letic world. In the arrangement of i their program they have scheduled ; nearly all the dashes and hurdle races within a day or two, and the distance races they have grouped in a similar manner. In other words they have declined to follow the procedure which is common in arrangement of games of this importance by stringing out the , events so that the greatest number of men can compete in the greatest num ber of events. The direct result of this arrange- j ment of the schedule will make It ' practically impossible for any of the American distance runners to double up in such events as the mile and half mile, and It will likewise be hard on even those sprinters who wish to | compete in the 100 and 200-yard dashes. The statement applies equally ! to the various hurdle races. The strongest objection to this plan has come from England, though even i here it is not likely that there will be any formal protest against the action j of the Swedes. It would be strictly ' 1 within the province of the athletic authorities of any of the countries which will send teams, either to pro test or, in more polite terms, to make suggestions looking toward a rearrange ment of this schedule. The English men, while they have voiced their dis approval In the newspapers, have not lodged any formal objection, and pub ably will not do bo. BIG PARK FOR CHICAGO CUBS. President Murphy Insiets New Strue- { ture Will be Peer of Them All— Many Novel Feature*. President C. \V. Murphy, of the Chi-; cago Nationals, is the latest club own er to announce plans for a new grand stand. Murphy said that he proposes a home for his baseball club, which will be a unification of all of the best ideas in modern grand stand architecture. This he says will naturally make it the greatest of its kind and will also make his park ore of the beauty spots of the city. * Private Italian marble boxes, a fine restaurant, barber shop, a few sleep ing rooms, a souvenir room, an incline automobile drive to the boxes and a garage on top of a beautiful concrete grand stand are some of the features mentioned in connection with the plans. It has not been announced when the work will start, but Murphy says if it is necessary to spend $1,000,000 it will be spent. Ole Olson is Captain. Ole Olsen will be made captain ol the Cleveland team for next season by Harry Davis. He believes that a cap tain should be an infleider and Olsen is the only one besides Lajoie sure ol his job.

Lucien M. Lindsey of Spokane con temporary of Doble and Splan In their palmiest days, and oldest active driver in the world, is at work pre paring his campaigner, Padishah, to cover the western circuit in 1912. He is 81 years of age. and has handled trotting and pacing horses for more than a half century in various parts of America. He holds several records. Luclen Is a native of Illinois, born In Cook county lc 1830. When nine years of age his parents moved to Iowa, where he remained ten years, going to the Oregon country in 1849, during the gold excitement on the California coast. Twelve years after ward he moved to Boise, which was then part of Washington. Eph Maynard, driven by Lindsey at Walla Walla, Wash., in 1862, made followers of the trotting world sit np when the animal stepped a mile ta> 2:82, afterwards going a mile In 2:40, equaling the mark set by Dexter at Dexter Park in the stock yards district of Chicago, following the Are in 1871. Eph Maynard made the mark in 1872, and the time was a record in Oregon for years. Lind sey also drove Parrot a mile in 2:30, a new record for Oregon, which was made in the ninth heat of a four-horse race. The veteran had charge of the Reed and Ladd stock farm at Reedvllle for a number of years and raised Jane L* a trotter that cleaned up everything on the coast and set a mark of 2:19*4 in 1884. He has been on the circuit every year since then, and de spite his age he declares he is good tor from 10 or IS years. Lindsey is In good health, and is as active as a man half his age.

Undiscovered genius Is no longer to sit and eat its heart out In some poor garret of the Latin Quarter. Yvette Sullbert, she of the long gloves, the Titian locks and the big heart, is to build a theater for his especial bene fit. For many years she has taken an interest in the long-haired genius of several professions and she now hopes to give the great unacted and unheard a chance to exhibit their stunts before an appreciative public without the interference of a coldly commercial manager. “I am going to have a little hall all my own," she said to me. "1 am con cerned most of ail for the poor un JfS/7Z-6bza£j^ known composers and musicians, who have a truly hard time of it in pres ent conditions. I will have a tiny or chestra of selected musicians which will give the works of men and wom en who are at present appreciated only by the intellectual.

She is one of the easi est of French celebrities to reach and certainly one of the pleasantest to in terview. BIRTHPLACE OF GREAT MAN House in Which Pasteur Was Bom Is to Be Preserved as a Memorial. Mr. Rockefeller's subscription of $11,000 to the fund which is being raised to purchase and maintain the little house at Dole, in the Jura depar ment where Pasteur was born, has aroused a feeling of humiliation in France, which is thus placed in the position of allowing a foreigner to sup ply the money necessary to honor one of her great men. Pasteur's father was a soldier in the army of the Great Napoleon and was 25 when he retired to his native coun try after the collapse of the empire.

My belov ed departed, who lived so modestly in this little house, it is to you that I owe everything! Tour enthusiasm, my brave mother, you impressed upon me. If I have ever and always asso ciated the greatness of science with the greatness of my country it is be cause I was impregnated with senti ments inspired by you. And you, dear father, whose life was as hard as your own hard occupation, you showed me what patience in long efforts can achieve. It is to you 1 owe my tenac ity in daily work.” The subscription toward the pur chase of the house has not been closed. Mr. Rockefeller’s suggestion that It should remain open having been acted upon, several foreign universities and many communes and villages have sent subscriptions to the mayor of Dole.

Realising the high price of the commodity, he instantly drew a revolver on the man and ar verted him. THOROUGH DISINFECTION TO PREVENT INFECTIOUS DISEASE Average Stockman and Farmer Does Not Realize Impor tance of Treatment for His Premises Following Outbreak of Disorder—Complete Removal of Cause Is to be Desired. (By GEORGE W. POPE. Veterinary In spector. United States Department of Agriculture.) In the work of the bureau of animal Industry in dealing with infectious dis eases of live stock it has been found that the average stockman and farmer does not realize the importance of thor oughly disinfecting his premises fol lowing an outbreak of contagious dis ease. There is apparently a widespread lack of information regarding the germicidal power of various sub stances, commonly termed disinfect ants. There is also a lack of knowl edge concerning practical and econom ical methods of proceeding with the work of disinfection. Moreover, the reappearance of a contagious disease on premises from which it was be lieved to have been eradicated may frequently be traced to careless or im perfect work in connection with the cleaning and disinfecting of the place. It is but natural to acknowledge the presence of only such objects as can be seen with the unaided eye. Science, however, by means of the high-power microscope, has clearly proved the ex istence of numerous minute animal and vegetable organisms—microorganisms —and it is a matter of common knowl edge that many of these organisms fre quently find their way into the animal body and produce disease. It is also well known that these micro-organ Isms, or germs, vary in form and oth er characteristics and that for each disease of an infectious nature there is a specific germ. The work of disinfection is based upon our recognition of the presence of disease germs, and disinfection means the act of destroying the cause of the infection. In other words, disin fection is a removal of the cause, and it will be clear to any practical man that in dealing with disease any efTort which stops short of a complete re moval of the cause is most unwise and unprofitable. To those unaccustomed to the work, disinfection may seem a most complicated process. Any ap proved method, however, is compara tively simple when carried out care A Good Type of Barrel Sprayer. fully, although, like many another pro cedure, it is one in which attention to details counts for much. It is im portant to bear in mind that the caus ative agents for many diseases are ex tremely small, and may remain for an indefinite time in dust, cracks, and crevices of buildings, so that efforts aiming at the eradication of disease from contaminated premises must be thorough in order to be effective. In the work of disinfection nature has provided man with a most valu able ally—sunlight. It is well known that the direct rays of the sun are de structive to many forms of bacteria, in ome cases destroying them and in oth ers lessening their influence. Thus the importance of well-lighted stables is evident. The dark and sunless building will be a favorable breeding place for bacteria, and the structure which admits the greatest amount of sunlight will be the least favorable for their development. Again, heat will destroy the bacteria of disease. By this is not meant the ordinary heat of the sun, but heat as developed in boil ing water or in flame. It is upon this principle that the surgeon before op erating renders his instruments free from the possible presence of bacteria by boiling, and it is heat which renders a jet of live steam destructive to bac teria. Sunlight, however, cannot be considered more than an accessory in the destruction of bacteria, while the application of heat in the form of steam or flame is seldom possible. The result is that in the practical work of disinfection we are dependent upon certain drugs, which have pow er to destroy the organisms of dis ease. Chloride of lime (sometimes termed chlorinated lime) is a well-known dis infectant, although its value is doubt less greatly overrated. This may be due in part to the fact that it is a powerful deodorant—such drugs on account of their pungent odor being popularly believed to have great dis infecting power. Being of uncertain strength and somewhat destructive to metals, and having a permeating odor especially objectionable in a stable, where mil* is produced, chlor ide of lime cannot be classed as the most desirable of disinfectants. For general disinfecting purposes it may be mixed with water in the proportion of six ounces to the gallon. An aqueous solution containing ap proximately 40 per cent, of formalde hyde and known as formalin has of recent years become a more or less popular disinfectant. Formaldehyde is used in either liquid or gaseous form. In the former case formalin is mixed with water in the proportion of six ounces to the gallon, and the resulting solution is applied directly to surfaces or sub stances which are to be disinfected. Formaldehyde gas is in most cases impracticable for stable disinfection. Where, however, a stable can be made almost air tight, and the animals re moved, it will be found very service able, as it penetrates every crevice. Carbolic acid in its pure form Is, at ordinary temperatures, in the shape of long, white crystals. For con venience it is frequently dispensed in liquid form by the addition of ten per cent, of water. A five per cent, solution of carbolic acid is sometimes used as a disinfectant, but carbolic acid has the disadvantage of being ex pensive and somewhat difficult to dis solve. Cresol, commonly termed "straw colored carbolic acid,” “liquid car bolic acid," etc., in a two per cent, so lution is an efficient disinfectant. It has the disadvantage, however, of be ing somewhat difficult to dissolve, so in preparing a disinfecting solution warm water should be used and care exercised that the drug is entirely dissolved. As the disinfecting power of cresol is dependent upon the amount of cresylic acid contained therein, it is essential when using the drug to know the degree of purity. Grades can be purchased under a guar anty to contain 90 to 98 per cent, of cresylic acid. Applying the Disinfectant. SHEEP CULTURE IS PROFITABLE No Economy In Allowing Animal to Shift for Itself and Elte Oat Precarious Existence. The decline of both wool and sheep will more than likely cause a general neglect of the sheep on many farms, but If a sheep is worth keeping at all It is certainly worth caring for in a way that it will be able to produce something of value. A neglected ewe is very likely to lose her lamb or else it will be stunted and not heavy enough to go on the market at the proper age. The fleece of the neglect ed sheep will always be light and of poor quality. In order to grow a heavy fleece of good _ quality there must not be any starving period from one clipping until the next The wool Is largely composed of nitrogen and mineral matter, and of course the ani mal oa which it grows must get these minerals in its food. Corn is very good sbeep feed but should not be depended upon entirely. Bulky weeds such as clover hay, cow-pea hay or Soy-bean hay are all good sheep feeds. If the sheep have access to some winter pasture it is a great help in keeping them in condi tion. Succulent foods such as turnips and other vegetables are good winter feeds. The fact that a sheep will eke out an existence where other farm animals would starve is no evi dence that it is economy to allow it to shift for Itself. Sheep Prizes.
