FIGHT ON THE MOSQUITO
DR. SOUCHON SAYS MEXICO WILL
ADOPT THIS METHOD.
Chief State Health Officer of Louis-
iana Sneeit a Few Hour* in the City
Yesterday En Route Home From
the Republic—He Talks on Fever
Situation.
Dr. Edmond Souchon. chief health
officer ot Louisiana spent several
hours in the city yesterday and left
for his headquarters at New Orleans
last night The official registered at
the Menger hotel and in the afternoon
the local board of heal-.h called on the
visitor and paid their respects to the
distinguished physician. He was
later joined by Dr. Amos Graves. Sr.
who Is a graduate of the same college
a« that of Dr. Souchon At the Bua
set depc Dr. G.-aves introduced a re
porter for The Light to the health olfl
cial. When questioned as to his pres-
ence in the city the doctor said;:
“1 am on my way home from Mex-
ico where I accompanied Dr Tabor
and other health officers to investi-
gate the yellow fever situation in that
republic.
“Of course 1 could not resist the
temptation to atop over here as I have
quite a number of warm friends in
San Antonio.”
In referring to his Mexican trip Dr.
Souchon said::
"We discussed the situation with
the national board of health of the re-
public a< the City of Mexico which
will result In big benefits not only to
that country but also to this section
cf the United States. defint’e
arrancements made were first of all to
kill the mosquito inside and outside
of houses and isolate each case as
quickly as possible when discovered.
By this method we are certain the
disease can be entirely stamped out
of that country I was very sorry to
leave the party continued Dr. Sou-
chon but urgent business called me
home when I had only visited Lin-
ares and Monterey.” In dlcsing the
interview Dr Souchon sta'ed that the
balance of the American health offl
cere would return to Texas within a
few days.
ALAMO FUND BENEFIT.
Concert Under Auspices of San An-
tonic Bar Association.
On next Friday one of the best con-
certs ever given In this city will ba
held under the auspices of the San
Antonio Bar association. There could
be no more worthy cause to which to
devote money and energy than that
for which this concert is intended the
purchase of the land adjoining and
surrounding the Alamo that building
which gives San Antonio its fame and
yearly brings us many dollars.
From a patriotic and historical
view there are many arguments In
favor of this cause whilst even from
a business standpoint for the widen-
ing of the plaza and beautifying of our
city there is but one thing to do. buy
the ground;
The concert to be given on next
Friday February 19. will be entirely
by the leading professionals of south-
west Texas. There will bo also two
short sddreses by prominent lawyers
of this city. The following artists will
take part: Mrs. M. D. Hesse accom-
paniste; Miss Emma Lauterborn.
mezzo soprano; Mrs. Alonso Millett
soprano; Miss Gertrude Peterson ac-
companists: Miss Else Sterndorff pi-
aniste; Mr. Horace Clark planiste;
Mr. Carl Hahm. 'cellist; Mr. Frank
Hufty baritone; Twenty-sixth infan-
try band with Cesare Tors Jello direc-
tor. *
AH the business firms and papers
are taking a warm Interest in this
concert so the management has not
been put to one cent of expense It
behooves the lawyers and citizens of
Ran Antonio to see to it that at least
$lOO is raised in .this manner
The purchase price of this land is
$75000 of which $5000 was paid a
year ago and $20000 more last Wed-
nesday.
The tickets will be $l.OO each in
eluding reserved (seat and may be
obtained from the Grand opera house
from any lawyer Wagner's drug store
or Goggan's music store.
Front all ovwr this state and the
Unreel States money is coming in for
this purpose so certainly our "Alamo
City" must and will do its share and
that is the Hen's slhare.
Prof. B. J. Stelnfeldt and his entire
orchestra of. eight pieces have most
kindly volunteered their services for
the Alamo fund concert to be held
on Friday. February 19. They will ap-
pear with Frank Hufty and will play
his accompaniment in an operatic se
lection. The enviable reputation tal-
ent and artistic ability of the musi-
cians composing Prof. Steinfeldt's or-
chestra assures all music lovers of a
treat.

Sap Davy Crockett Night Train Has
a Good Record.
Today is the first anniversary which
marks the inauguration of the Davy
Crockett night train servire on the
Sap. When this new train was put
on it was regarded as an experiment
but. in one year the train has more
than met the expectations of the offi-
cials erf the road and Davy Crockett
is today considered one of the most
popular means of transportation in the
south. It has been a paying inves ■
ment from the start and the business
clement of and San Antonio
owe the passenger officials of that
toad an everlasting debt of gra itude
for th p accommodation offered and
the excellent facilities afforded be-
tween those two cities. The train
has made a wcrld record for always
being on time and today with Its fine
and modern equipment it stands in a
class of Its own as the guiding star of
the “Mission route.”
George Roe will keep open till 12
o'clock today for the benefit of those
who have not bought their vaJentlnes.
MANAGER MOORE ON DECK
GETTING THINGS IN SHAPE FOR
THE BASEBALL SEASON.
With the Old Favorites of Last Sea-
»ch H* Will Have Several New
Faces on the Team This Year—The
New Shortstop fo r the Mustangs.
Manager Wade H. Moore of the
San Antonio baseball team of the
k South Texas league expects to have
together one of the best teams of ball
players that has ever represented this
city. He la now at work rounding out
his team and expects to have it com-
pleted by about the first of April. In
addition to last year’s players which
will include all of the old favorites
who acquitted themselves so well in
landing the championship for San
Antonio there will be‘several new
faces among the Mustangs
Chief of these will be Roy Kerns
who will replace Morris at shortstop.
Kerns hails from Baileyville. Kau
spd played in the Missouri Valley last'
year. He comes highly recommended
and Mr. Moore believes he has a
youngster who will have no trouble In
filling Morris' shoes.
Among the new players that Man-
ager Moore has on his list may also
be mentioned C E. Holmes a left-
handed pitcher last year with Rock
Island in the Three-Eyed league; E
p Hale of Uttle Rock. Ark.; A.
Scroggin. of Boulder. Col.; J H. Ban-
non. of Denton. Tex.: A D. Slater of
•Xtawa. Kan.; C. H. Wilson of Peoria.
111. and E. L. Tucker of Dallas. Some
of these players are coming here
merely for a trail and if they make
good they will be retained or al any
।ate they will not be idle. Manager
Moore has placed an order for new
uniforms which will be here In time
for the opening game on April 30.
The uniform will be the same as last
I year dark blue with red trimmings
This was conceded the prettiest uni-
form in the league last season and the
local team always looked neat on the
Dall field
I It is to be regretted that the Mus-
tangs will not peirat home this year.
| hut this is no fault of Manager Moore.
The local team will open at Beaumont
and then play three games at Galves-
ton before coming home. Mrs. Moore
I tried hard to gqp the opening games
for this city but the fact that the
team opened at home lastffieason pre-
i vented this. *
Manager Moore will be at the ball
park today and will probably indulge
in a little light practice with players
who may be there. Mr. Moore has
kept himself in condition all winter
and is almost fit to jump in today and
play fast hard ball. He put in the
winter months in gymnasium wofk in
Kansas City Mo. and in hunting with
his brother and brother-in-law in the
Tilda of Kansas. Mr. Moore is quite
a devotee to the guu and field and Is
not a bad shot.
Mr. Moore is here accompanied by
his wife and they expect to make
their furore heme here. They are
comfortably quartered at 303 Maver-
ick street.
I’rlbr to the opening of the season
the Mustangs will play several oxhlbl
tlon games with Dallas Texas Univer
slty -and Southwestern University of
Georgetown. The three games with
Dallas will be in the nature of a eham
pionship contest for the chamuionshir
of Texas The Mustangs will be ar
rayed in new uniforms which win
give them a big league appearance
with box coats They will wear the
new uniforms st home and the old
ones on the road. C. H. White trav-
eling salesman for Spalding says that
the uniforms are being made with
blouse effect instead cf a shirt and

SHORT BASEBALL STORIES
DICK COOLEY'S NOME RUN IS NOT
IN THE RECORDS.
But It Wee Made All Right and With
Umpire Joe Cantlllon at Richard'*
Heels — Tebeau aad Freedman
Reminiscence of "Cub" Stricker.
Umpire Cantlllon and Dick
Cooley of the Boston Nationals are
Treat friends but novel- lose an op-
portunity to have fun with each other
says Elmer Bates In the Cleveland
Press. Cooley was a few pointe ahead
cf Cantlllon when. In a game at Chica-
go. he sent one of Jack Taylor's float-
ers to center for what appeared to be
an easy home run.
As Cooley started around the clr-
cult Cantlllon was right at his heels.
"Touch every base!" yelled Joe.
"You bet I will" replied Cooley as
the mad chase went on.
"Touch third now!" shouted Joe
as the trip was three-fourths done.
Cooley fairly jumped on the bag and
then lit out for the plate. Glancing
back Cantlllon saw that Davy Jones
who was playing center for Chicago
had made a great running catch of the
ball taking It over his shoulder way
back by the fence. Joe kept on his
pursuit of Cooley however and 20 feet
from the plate yelled:
"Slide!” .
Cooley flung himself on the ground
and scraped hie way over the gravel
to the plate.
"Now" said Cantlllon. rushing up
and touching him. "Tag. You’re out!"
“Out!" roared Cooley. "What for?"
“Nothing only Jones caught the
ball."
WADE H. MOOFJE.
It was a day or two before Cooley
spoke to Cantlllon again.
“In a game het ween the All Ameri-
cans and All-Nationals before 3500
people at Cedar Rapids in the fall of
1902" said “Topsy" Hartsell the other
day "Jake Beckley landed on one of
Win Mercer’s slow ones for an easy
three-bagger.
"Just as Beckley reached first he
saw a dog coming across right field in
pursuit of a rabbit Jake never turned
toward second at. 6H but started off
across the field after the rabbit.
"The center fielder had recovered
the ball by this time but instead of
throwing it to a base for a put out he
held it in his hand and Joined the
chaAe for the rabbit. With base run-
ner and fielder out of the game the
other players started oiit too and in
about five minutes the rabbit was cap-
tured. Then we ail went back to our
positions. Beckley was allowed to
take third on his hit and the game
went on as- if nothing had happened.”
”1 shall never forget the silence
that prevailed in the Cleveland club's
'bus after a game in Philadelphia in
the late 'Bos. when 1 put my hand
on Stricker's shoulder and said "Well.
Cub you won the game today’ ” de-
clares Tom loftus
"I had Just been engaged as man-
ager I found a team that could bat
and field and run bases but was en-
tirely ignorant of the science of sac-
rifice batting. In this game wiln the
score a tie. Bnkoley. our pitcher got
to flrat.
"’Put him on second. Cub' I sold.
" 'Why -I can hit the ball over the
fenoe now’ said Strick.
" ’Do just as I tell you’ I remarked.
"It was an awful temptation for
Cub. but he finally sacrificed beautiful-
ly and McKean's single sent Bakeley
in with the run that won the game.
When I told Cub he had won the game
the other players acted aa If they had
all been released in a bunch. Net a
word was spoken until we got to our
hotel. In a day or two though the
sacrifice hit was mighty popular and
the t'. am began to climb."
Patsy Tebeau always had an enthu-
Blastic admirer la Andy Freedman of
the New York team.
One day at the Broadway Cen Wal
a group of players were criticising the
owner of the Giants for standing at
the gate to shoo away the no-pay

"A few cf my friends if you please

The gate swung wide open. “Show
