AMERICAN LEAGUES BATTING AVERAGES
Criss of St. Louis Leads With Stick, De1ehanty
Being Third With .317.

President Ban Johnson last night sent
out d release for the batting averages Of
his organization for the season of 1SOS
and all the base ball fans of the country
will devour the tabulated figures with
unusual interest.
Crisis of st. Louis has the honor of be-
ing the best batsman in the American
League, hitting up to the swell figures of
.341 in sixty-four games. Then comes Ty
Cobb with 1924 in $50 games, while our
own Jim Delehanty is third with .317 in
SO games. When it is taken into con-
sideration that Del rarely bunts ball.
but slams away at the sphere with all his
strength, his showing is something mar
velous.
The next local man to show is Unglaub,
who stands in sixteenth place with .2S6
to his credit in IA games. Bob DID much
better than this since he joined the Ma
tionals and Is a natural 300 percenter.

The other local players stand we'll up,
and in the entire list Washington's show

nosed out Jerry Freeman by one point,
while Bob Ganley and Clyde Milan are
exactly even. The good hitting Of Nc
Bride is a surprise. Jimmy Williams, who

Chicago and Philadelphia, the latter

Patrick Dougherty of Chicago is the
best base runner, having Al pliers to h s
credit. 'Ganley did the best for the locals

Rugby Foot Ball Out of Date.

NEW YORK. November 16.-Lord
Northcliffe, the English newspaper
and magazine owner, was a specta-
tor at the e-Princeton game Sat
urday. and last night made this
comment on the American game:
II had never seen anything anti
quated in the United States until l
saw this foot ball match today. To
my surprise, found that the Yale
and Princeton teams were playing
Rugby school foot ball. with its
tiresome scrimmages, which out
wearied the British public many
years ago. The men played bril-
liantly. In fact. l don't rememb r
having seen Rugby foot ball played
better. But it was the old-style
game, with all its tiresome delays.
THE American people are hus-
tiers. If they wish TO keep UP their
reputation among the spor:smen Of
the world. I would advise them to
play an up-to-date game"

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. November 16.-All
the Harvard varsity players came through
the game with Dartmouth in good condi-
ticn. with the exception of Dunlap. who
was replaced by Wilmington in the second
half. There is a general feeling of doubt
in the Harvard camp as to the. result OF
the game Sa .urday. The terrific rally OF
the Ellis after their goal line had been
crossed has broken Harvards confidence
and there seems little hope for final
victory for the Crimson. Talk for cap
tain to lead the team next year has set
tied on Fish. now acting captain. The
rangy tackle has the advantage of two
years experience on the varsity. and
added to this is the knowledge gained as
leader this year during Burr's enforced
absence.

ANN ARBOR. Mich. November 10
Allerdice, Michigans fullback, played the
entire game with Penn Saturday with
broken collarbone. Five minutes after
the whistle the Indianapolis boy was
tackled roughly and something in his
shoulder snapped When aao the ma man was
light of it to the trainers. who knew
something was wrong. for his throwing
of the forward pass was errat1c and not
at all up to form.
Time after time the open style of play
was called for in the second half, and
each time Allerdice threw the ball with
the right arm. just above which scraped
the jagged bone inside his shoulder.
Schulz. the All-American center, had
taken the count for the first time In four
years of play and after his leaving the
field the whole work of defense was as
sumed by the injured Allerdice Exam
nations showed that Allerdice Is out of
the game for good. He will not be able
to play in the Syracuse game next Sat-
urday Germany Schulz is gradually re-
covering from his injury. but it is still
doubtful if he will be able to play all of
the game at Syracuse.
The Michigan team is hopelessly in
jured, the players are disappointed and
the. student body only hope that the heavy
AMI fast New York team will not double
the Penn score.

MONTHLY REPORT
OF DISPBNSARY

DR.. Stock, who has charge OF the
tuberculosis dispensary of this city,
has presented his second report to Dr.
Dixon. The month closed on April
goth.
During the past month three new
patients have been admitted, making
five in all that are being treated at the
dispensary. These, it is understood,
after thorough investigation have
been found to be too poor to pay for
treatment and essential diet. They,
therefore, in addition to treatment,
are supplied with milk and eggs free
During the month ninety quarts of
milk and 1925 dozen of eggs have been
dispensed by DR.. Stock. In addition
to these there have been distributed as
needed paper napkins, pasteboard cups
and supplies of "a like nature intended
to protect the public from the germs
! of the disease.
The patients all seem to be doing
we'll. Four of those under treatment
show total gain of 141a pounds dur
ing the month, In one patient there
is a loss of weight, although it amounts
to less than a pound, The general
condition of the patients, even the one
who lost weight. shows Improvement.
Under ruling of the department
the dispensary is not permitted to take
charge of bedridden cases at present
Later on, however, it is not improb-
able that the rules may be modified SO
as to take in such cases.
Cases OF tuberculosis in aims houses
and prisons are also excluded from the
dispensary. DR.. Stock wrote DR.. Dix
on in relation to this matter and was
! informed that such cases had been re.
ferred to the board of public charities
and that the latter body has already
taken action in the matter and in pro.
viding for the jails and aims houses is
prepared to act in conjunction will
the Pennsylvania department of health.
The dispensary is open every Tues
day and Thursday from 3 to p. m.

QUARTER OF A
MILLION FIRE

The most destructive fire that has
visited Milton since the great fire of
1880, occurred Tuesday morning. when
the cold punchsd nut department of
the Milton Manufacturing company
was burned The loss will approxi-
mate quarter of a million dollars,
upon which there is an insurance of
s92, 900.
The building was stone aud frame
structure 4l5xl00. The fire caught in
the boiler room. The watchman had
been there not more than five inmates
before the fire was discovered. When
he came back the building was on fire,
but had not gained much headway. He
hastily attached the company's hose
and turned stream of water on the
flames. but was not able to get it un-
der control. so he sounded the alarm.
The fire companies responded prompt
ly, but the fire spread so rapidly that
little or nothing could be done to save
the building and its contents. and it
WAS only by hard work that the office
building and store house we're saved.
The building probably contained
more costly machinery than any build
ing of its size in Central Pennsylvania
and in addition TO the machinery and
equipment used in the cold punched
nut department, about twenty-three
thousand dollars worth OF new mach
inery purchased for another branch of
the big plant was stored in this build
ing preparatory TO its installation in
one of the new steel buildings. The
value OF the buildings and contents
will reach $3.50, 600. but the exact loss
cannot be determined until the damage
to the machinery is accurately deter
mined, but it will unquestionabIy ex-
ceed two hundred thousand dollars.
The insurance, which was placed by
the local agencies, covers the follow
ing items: On buildings, $l8, 400: on
machinery, S6S, 000 on stock, IS, 900.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Since the destruction of the old bar
mill about month ago. on which the
company sustained a loss over and
above the insurance of about Sl2, 1000,
every precaution has been taken to
guard against another fire.

stranger commit the deed as he was
not likely to be recognized. Several
days later the witnesses saw Nestico
and Gessiony together in a hotel near

Nestico was murdered and the strang

REGENLR.TING
CENTRALIA

The town of Centralia in the upper
end of Columbia county is popularity
supposed to be pretty bad place and
quite frequently tales of gruesome
misdeeds aud more often OF political
graft eminate from that community.
But if all reports are true all that has
been ended.
On Sunday night special services
closed one of the most successful mis-
sions ever held in this section of the
state. 1t appears from the opinion of
the people who attended that no mis-
sion has ever made so profound an i'm
preston and none has had such far
reaching effects as this one at Cen
tralia.
The confessions that were heard
amounted by actual count to 1901. of
these l,2S2 were adults, divided as fol-
lows 6l0 women and 671 men. The
men exceeded the women by over sixty.
The men outnumbered the women in
the number of Total Abstinence pro-
mise cards signed. There were 427 wo-
men and 474 men who voluntarily en-
rolled themselves under the banner of
total abstinence, making over 900
Catholic adults in the town of Gen.
tralia who do not touch Intoxicating
drinks in any manner.
There was another pleasing feature
of the mission, and this was the org
anization OF Holy Name society, as
a protest against the practice of pro-
fame swearing and in order to elevate
a reverence for the Holy Name of God.
There were about 400 men who indie
ated their intention to become charter
members of this organization. These
few facts speak louder than any amount
of words.
They are the results of the mission.
The services Sunday night were the
renewal of vows of baptism. The bap-
tismal font was set up on high and
beautifully decorated with lights and
Easter flowers. and after an appropri-
ate sermon all the men stood up and
in voice full of earnestness and pur-
pose they solemnly protested their de-
termination to stand by the work Of
the mission and keep the promises
made therein.

Fruit Growers Are Encouraged.

April thus far has brought us few
balmy days, the weather on the whole
being more like that of March High
winds from the north west seem to be
the rule and while we have escaped
snow in this immediate vicinity snow
has fallen at intervals during the
month in nearby localities Life out
Of doors in the main has had but lit
tie charm.
Compared with April for several
years past the weather perhaps is not
unusual. Fruit growers find consola-
tion in the fact that weather condi-
tions such as prevail are favorable for
q big apple crop. Very fine weather
during April would have had the eff
feet of bringing out the blossoms only
to be nipped by frosts later on. Here
and there peach tree is seen in bloom
but in most cases even the peach trees
along with apple trees and other var
ieties of fruit, are held back by the
raw, unreasonable weather.
