McLoughlin in Semifinals
Special to the Telegraph
Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 2. —The
defeat of Maurice E. McLoughlin, the
idol of American lawn tennis. by
George M. Church was the feature of
the fourth round of the national sin
gles championship on the courts of the
West Side Tennis Club yesterday. The
elimination of the Comet in his widely
heralded attempt to come back after
two years of defeat left only three
Westerners in.the field for the 1916
title, as against four Eastern stars and
one Southerner.
On account of his decisive victory
over McLoughlin, George M. Church,
of Tenafly, N. J.. to-day stepped into
a class with William M. Johnston, the
champion, and R. Norris Williams, 11,
champion in 1914, as a favored con
tender for this year's title. Church is
on the program to play Robert Lind
ley Murray at 3.45 p. m. Johnston's
opponent is Watson M. Washburn. The
match between Williams and Dougles
S. Watters, of New Orleans, is set for
11 a. m. t the first of the day. The
fourth match on the schedule is be
tween Wallace J. Johnson, of Philadel
phia, and Clarence J. Griffin, of San
Francisco, with Griffin a slight fav
orite.
Mob Umpire Pete Harrison
When He Grabs Small Boy
Special to the Telegraph
Pittsburgh. Sept. 2.—The decisions
of Umpire Pete Harrison in the Pirate-
Cincinnati game yesterday nearly
caused a riot and serious trouble was
only averted after the game was over
by the presence of a number of police
men and half a dozen plain clothes
men. In the seventh inning Fischer
bunted toward third and apparentlv
had Groh's throw beaten by two steps.
When Han-ison called him out the
spectators went into a frenzy over the
drcif-ion. Manager Callahan protested
vigorously and was ordered out of the
grounds, followed by Jacobs and John
ston. After the game a mob of in
furiated fans surrounded the umpire
and when he grabbed a boy the crowd
closed in upon him. Umpire Hank
ODay pulled Harrison off the boy and,
tided by the detectives, succeeded in
pushing Harrison through the door
Into the dressing room. Most of the
crowd waited at the exits for the um
pire, but he remained in the clubhouse
until they dispersed.

The birdhouse contest, conducted by
the Harrisburg Natural History Socie

tests are to be sent to Boyd P. Roth

Gleason Back on
Old Coaching Job
f v • ;•
| ; "
The veteran Kid Gleason, who was
released with Jimmy Callahan, when
Clarence Rowland became manager of
the White Sox, is now back with the
Chicago American League team in the
jc. racity of coach. .When released by
] the White Sox, more than a year ago,
Gleason had several offers to manage
[major and minor league teams, but re
fused them and went to his home in
Philadelphia, declaring he was through
with baseball and would devote the
rest of his days to business.
But Owner Comiskey, evidently think
i s that the White Sox needed some
one to restore the old lighting spirit,
sent his secretary to Philadelphia last
week to induce Gleason to return. It
is understood that Gleason would not
append his signature to a contract un
til a large salary had been written
into it.
Gleason entered baseball in 1890,
signing with the Phillies as a pitcher!
In 1894 he pitched for the famous
Baltimore Orioles and helped them win
their first pennant. The next year he
switched to second base and was
traded to the New York Giants the
following year. Later he went to the
Detroit Tigers, and from them to the
White Sox, when Jimmie Callahan be
came identified with that team.

Manager Cockill Is Sore
on J. Don Brown
That J. Don Brown, the Harrisburg
outfielder, was renigging on his job in
Harrisburg is now the belief. Fans
some weeks ago talked about his ap
parent. indifference. His work in the
field was good. It was in his hits that
this player fell down. It was said he
was sore over the way his contract was
juggled. Last week he was ordered to
report to Connie Mack. The outfielder
was still in Harrisburg yesterday. Un
der the heading. "George Cockill Grills
Brown, the Balker," to-day's Phila
delphia North American says:
"George Cockill, owner of the Har
rir.burg team of the New York State
League, saw the double-header at the
Phils' park yesterday.
"Cockill was greatly disturbed over
the failure of Outfielder Brown, of his
team, to report to Conhie Mack.
" 'Connie Mack sent me King for
Brown,' explained Cockill. 'and I never
thought there would be the least hitch
on Erown's part. Brown gave me his
promise to report to Mack last Mon
day. He packed his belongings and
appeared anxious for the chance.
" 'When I reached Syracuse I was
surprised to get a telegram from
Brown saying that he wouldn't report,
unless his alleged claim against the
Yankees was adjusted. He had the
nerve to try to hold up Mack and
compel him to mane good the amount,
he thinks is coming to him.
*' 'l'm afraid now that Mack mav
drop him for good; but it would onlv
serve him right. I wish there was
some way he might be punished'."

FOODS^SSr'
AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
By ALFRED W. McCANN
The clever method by which secret
preservatives are dmployed by the
operators of rural milk routes calls
for the exercise of constant vigi
lance if the infant population of
small cities and towns is to be pro-
tected against this form of rascality.
The necessity of exercising eternal
vigilance with respect to the secret
use of preservaline, particularly in
the milk supply of small cities and
towns becomes apparent when the
methods by which preservaline finally
reaches the consumer are fully under
stood.
Not even milk for babies is exempt
from the influence of this chemical.
I obtained six bottles of milk from a
dealer in A . Long Island, a suburb
of New York City, on six successive
days and permitted them to stand.
The weather was hot, but the milk
remained sweet. I visited the dealer,
A. L. L., who fell into a state of em
barrassment when asked a few lead
ing questions concerning his use of
preservaline.
He finally confessed that he em
ployed a preparation called "Special
M Preservaline." He declared that
he didn't know that it was harmful
to babies, as it had been sold to him
for the specific purpose for which he
used it.
He also declared that no one had
ever*offered any objection to its use.
When pressed on this point he ad
mitted that he had never confided in
anybody the fact that he employed
the chemical.
In the course of his conversation
he asserted that he had never called
in person upon the people who sold
him the stuff, placing all his orders
for it by mail.
Acting upon this hint, I called at
the office of the Preservaline Manu
facturing Company and asked to see
the general manager.
"My name is J. L. L., one of your
customers," I said. "I have been in
the neighborhood and as I need some
more "Special M" for preserving milk
I thought I would drop in and take
it along."
A man who said his name was C
welcomed me. I asked him if his
name were Charles C .
He said: "No, my name is not
Charles."
"It seems to me I have met you
before," X ventured.
"No, I don't think we have ever
met," he replied.
"Well, I knew a man in New York
a few years ago by the name of
Charles C who certainly resembles
you enough to be your brother."
"No, my name never was Charles,"
he asserted.
"What is your name?" I asked.
"I go only by my initials, and peo
ple just call me C he said.
Apparently there was no reason for
evasion, but he would not reveal his
name.
When we returned to the matter of
"Special M" he said: "We cannot sell
'Special M' for preserving milk any
more. We now call the same identi
cal thing 'Special M Washing Fluid,'
and have changed the label to read,
'For Washing Bottles and Cans.'
"The milk dealers still say it does
the same work that it did under the
old label. Of course, I cannot tell
what they do with it after it leaves
our hands." i
This statement was uttered with a
knowing smile.
"For years." he continued, "we sold
'Special M' for milk, but the laws
tightened up on us a few months ago
and we thought it best to put re
sponsibility for using it up to the
milkman. You cannot blame us for
protecting ourselves. It's the same
| stuff, but we don't sell it any more
as a milk preservative."
"The last bottle which I got from
I you three weeks ago," I said, "stated
I that Special M' was intended for pre
. serving milk and gave the directions
j for its use."
"You must have got hold of one
| of the bottles with the old labels," he
afternoon. Howell still leads 'with JA<
bright a close second.
The New York Americana have pur
chased Pitcher Buckles. The price 1*
said to be $5,000. This sale was the
biggest thing pulled off this season In
the New York State League. A. Bill
Coughlin Is happy.
The Phillies gained on Brooklyn yes
terday by taking two games from the
Dodgers. A victory this afternoon wiU
put Philadelphia tie with the leaders.
Boston is being closely pressed by De
troit.
Central high students who are out
for a place in the war canoe were out
in force this morning. Under the di
rection of Coach Roth they paddled
up and down the river. After a rest
they started again this afternoon and
will be in good shape by Monday.
The West End A. C., will go to Leb
anon on Monday for two games with
the professional team of that place.
This change in schedule put the Keen
ers on the market for two Labor Day
games.
answered. "We stopped selling It un
der those labels more than three
weeks ago, in fact, several months
ago."
"How old is this law that prevents
your selling It now?"
"Oh, the law has been on the books
for years, but it never bothered us
until recently. It's better to sell- it
without any label on it at all any
how. The label doesn't make any
difference. It does the work just the
same with or without the label."
"I sell a lot of milk along my route
in A to babies, and I want to
make sure that it is not hurting them.
Are you sure it will not hurt them?"
I asked.
"I never heard of it hurting any
one," he grinned.
"But these babies are on my con
science. I don't want to get in bad
where babies are concerned. As a
matter of fact, I have been leaving it
out of the milk which I knew was
going to be consumed by babies."
"That's entirely up to you. We wi'll
sell it to you if you want it, but only
for washing bottles. You can put it
in the milk or leave it out. Just as
you see fit."
He did not seem nearly as dis
turbed over the question regarding
the health of babies as he did about
revealing his full name.
As I was leaving the office he called
me back to make this statement:
"Another reason for not selling
'Special M Preservaline' for milk is
because workers around the barns
and bottling houses, seeing the labels,
would get wise.
"Let me make this clearly under
stood. We have sold it for a long
time to milk dealers supplying hos
pitals, asylums, and orphanages. No
question has ever been raised about
it. So you needn't be unduly dis
turbed. You can wash your cans
with it and if a little by accident
should be left in the can you won't
have any loss on sour milk. You
would also have a good defense if you
ever got into trouble."
The entire matter of milk poison
ing, including the simplest methods
of minimizing the evil effects due to
this cause, will be treated in detail
in its proper place. But the preserva
line detail needs attention now.
