The Sunday-Schod Convention.

of the Barnwell-Bamberg Baptist
Sunday-school convention in last
weeks issue, but thought some off1ci-
al report would have come out, so
as number of our readers who
could not attend the convention
would like to know some of the re-
suits, we will give short account
of the proceedings.
The morning of the first day dawned
cloudy and promising of bad weather,
but the folks poured in hospitable
Olar from every side and corner in
proportion to the down-pouring rain.
The writer did not arrive at the
morning session, but when we did, on
that southbound midday train, we
were kindly met at depot by num-
bers of Olarites, who took charge OF
all delegations and their baggage
and escorted us to the church, where
a tempting feast was spread in the
church, the inner row of pews be-
ing used to support temporary tables
and those are mighty strong pews,
too, to support all those good things
in the way of edibles.
The entire session was gracefully
presided over by Capt. w. T. Cave
as moderator and Rev. w. G. Britton
as secretary. The program was car
ried out as published, except few
breaks from absentees, but those
who figured on the program must
have neglected much else in order
to prepare a good show at the con-
vention.
Special mention must be made OF
Miss Clara Johnson's address on
teacher-training It was broad and
deep, giving some of her personal
experiences along that line, which
was a stimulus.
Revs. o. J. Frier, w. c. Baxley, w.
G.. Britton: and R. P. Golphin made
some mighty good addresses and
talks on various methods of improV-
ing Sunday-schools.
The addresses by Supts. ]. A. Hunt
er, of Bamberg, and jeff Hair, OF
Healing Springs, were strong and
forcible and each and every one who
had something to say said good
things.
We think it but fair to mention
little Miss Effie McCormack's musi-
cal ability. Though only thirteen
years of age, she adapts herself to
the organ in a manner becoming to
one several years her senior, and
played for the convention.
The entire session of the conven-
ton was a most pleasant and profit
able occasion, despite the awful
rainy weather and all Clar seemed
to be Baptist in hospitality (and
water, too.) The writer asked If
there was any other church there
but a Baptist, as everybody seemed
one, and we were told that Capt.
Cave said in his welcome address,
"That when you were on the West
side of the railroad you were Baptist
and on the East side you were
Methodist"
Dinner was served on the grounds
every day, and the homes thrown
open to entertainment at night, and
we feel sure all who attended are
benefited in every way by the Barn
well-Baptist Sunday-school conven-
ton at Olar, August 80, 81, Septem-
Der L, 1911.
The Bamberg Sunday-school again
won the banner for having the best
collections and Hunters Chapel came
next to it for having the best at
tendance. Both of the superintend-
ents in these two Sunday-schools are
Hunters, and they are still hunting
for more students, etc.

OBJECTION TO DUTY
ON ROWING SHELLS
Cambridge Institution Pro-
tests Heavy Charges on
Eight-Oar Boats.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. pa meet
ing of the board of general appraisers
is due TO be held in Boston Wednesday
at which a matter of considerable inter
est to Harvard oarsmen in particular
and college oarsmen in general is to be
threshed out.
1t is a question Of the duty to be paid
On shells imported to colleges here from
England. Last year Harvard received
two CiSht-Oared shells from England,
and was assessed IS per cent duty on
each of them. or $l46 duty on each.
There was protest from Harvard ath-
letic authorities, and in that way the
matter is to come up before the ap-
praiserS.
The contention by Harvard is that the
shells should be classed as pleasure
boats and come in with only a nominal
tonnage tax, as was the case with
Harvard shell a year ago last spring,
aAhough the new tariff might make
some slight change. .
When the Harvard shell came in a
year ago last spring James b. Reynolds
was Assistant Treasurer in charge of
customs. Last spring when the 35 per
cent duty was imposed the Assistant
Treasurer who had charge of customs
was James F. Curtis, a Harvard man.

FRENCH MOTORISTS
MUST REPORT CARS
Government to Take Census
of Vehicles for Emerg-
ency Purposes.
By HARRY WARD.

Motorists in this country are mani
Testing considerable interest in the plans
being made TO take census Of all
motor vehicles in France.
The numbering is not necessary to
show how many cars are in use, for
the annual taxation returns reveal this
with accuracy. The object is to dis
cover exactly the value Of the motor
vehicle in case of mobilization for war
purposes. In order to obtain this
knowledge every French owner of a
mechanically propelled vehicle, whether
1t be a lightweight motor cycle, a lux
urious touring car, or a five-ton truck,
Is under obligation to give particulars
OF 1t to the mayor of his township.
The military authorities demand to
know the horsepower Of the motor, the
year in which it was built, the type Of
body, its speed, load capacity, the size
and make Of the tires, and the name Of
the man who usually drives the car.
Failure to supply the particulars entails
a fine varying from s. to $500.
But the declaration on paper is not all
that is required. During the months
Of April and May every motor vehicle
in France will have to be presented to
a government commission for expert ex-
animation regarding its fitness for ser
vice in case of mobilization. The coun-
try will be divided into districts, so
that no driver will have to travel more
than twelve miles to present his car to
the examining committee. This is the
first time that all the automobiles in
France have undergone an expert gov
ernmental examination. and practically
no exceptions will be allowed.
While the plan may be adopted by
other continental countries, it is hardly
probable anything OF the kind will be
attempted in this country.
The annual meeting of the Automobile
Club of Washington will be held tornor-
row night at the Grafton. President w
S. Duyall has sent an urgent appeal to
the members to be present at this meet
ing, as business of interest and import
ance to the motorists of Washington will
come up. New officers will also be
elected.

Clarke Takes Up Fight
For Clean Clubhouse

PITTSBURG, Jan. 23.-The clamor
against the filthy club house maintained
by the Chicago club for visiting play
ers has been Joined in by Manager Fred
Clarke, of the Pitts5urg club.
Fred has served notice that he will
bring the matter before the national
board when that body convenes next
month, and he will ask that action
be taken to force President Murphy, of
the Cubs, to provide proper quarters.
Clarke's proposed action was made
known in Pittsburg through the means
of a letter to President Barney Drey-
fuss, of the Pittsburg club. Fred Is in
earnest, declaring that his several ef-
forts to have President Murphy take
action of remedial nature have
failed. Now, he says, the time for ac-
tion has come.

Ticket Scandal Report
Is Denied by Official

CHICAGO. Jan. 23.-"A joke. and
ridiculous one" is the term applied to
the report that the National Baseball
Commission would investigate alleged
irregularities connected with the sale
of tickets to the Cub-Athletics world
series, by Robert McRoy, American
League secretary and one of the men
who had charge of the ticket sale.
The report that many Chicago fans
gave checks in payment for seats and
never received the tickets. alth hough
the checks were cashed. is a joke, and
a ridiculous one at that" said McRoy.
There were only about three COM
plants. and these, which were due to
mistakes, were promptly settled. If
there have been any more mistakes
they should be reported to the National
Commission, so that they may be rec
titled"

Veteran THO Comes Back.

OF all the players who will join major
league clubs next spring, three that
will attract interest generally will be
Tom Hughes, Jiggs Donohue, and Dave
Atizer
This trio Of former Nationals have
been in the minors since leaving the
American League, but they have con-
WINGED managers that they are still real
ball players, and next season they will
have an opportunity TO prove their
claims.
OF the three. the greatest confidence
seems to surround Hughes. In the
American Association last year he was
far and away the best pitcher on the
circuit. and he is the one MCAleer is
depending upon to share with Walter
Johnson, the brunt Of Washington's
pitching.
Cincinnati is expecting AltiZer 10 make
good at shCrtstop, while Charley COmiS
key is quoted as saying that he believe
Donohue is still fast enough for first
base at Chicago.

WOULD TEACH MAPS
TO START QUICKLY
Athletic Director Has Plan
to Increase Speed of
Base Runners.

CLEVELAND. Jan. 23.-H. Rush, di-
rector of athletics at University
School. better known to Clevelanders
as SPEEDY" thinks the Maps might
add to their run total and thereby in
crease their number of victories dur
ing the coming season by a very
simple plan.
Rush's plan is this: He thinks the
value of the Maps as base runners
would be greatly enhanced if they
were taught the art of getting a good
start. No one knows the value of
lightning start better than Rush. He
was a wonderful sprinter in his day
He has a mark of AS seconds for
the 100-yard dash and was pitted
against Tewksbury and other stars in
days gone by.
The Maps have several very fast
men on their roster. Joe Jackson
looms up as speedy as any man In
the American League when under
way. But Joe is just about the poor
est of starters. Rush believes that If
Joe were taught the art of starting
quickly he would benefit by from
three to four feet in his 9O-foot dash
from first to second or second to third
every time he tries to steal.

Five Men Share Club Twirl-

Ten Years.
JOHNSON ON TOP
FOR TWO SEASONS
Jack Chesbro Won Forty Games
for New York Americans
In 1904.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

Since the expansion of the American
League a decade ago, the honor Of lead
ing the Washington club in pitching
has been limited to five Individuals
Case Patten. Ed Dunkle, Jacobsen,
Tom Hughes, and Walter Johnson.
In the matter of consistency Patten
was easily the leader for in five of the
ten years he was the man to be at the
top of the twirling staff when the cam
paign ended. In 1901, his first season
here, he won seventeen and lost twelve
games, giving him a percentage of .5S5.
which stood as the high mark until last
season, when Johnson made a record OF
.595.
The leaders of all of the American
League club pitchers, as compiled by
Statistlcian Lanigan, follow:

Delahanty a fireman.

The latest ball player to leap into the
limelight as a sure enough fire fighter
is Jim DeIehanty, the former WASH
ington second baseman.
Delehanty lives next to an engine
house in Cleveland, married the daugh-
ter of fireman, and every opportunity
that presents itself now is snapped up
by the player to help the men who stop

Delehanty says that when his days
on the diamond are at an end. he will
join the department and be a regular
instead of Just volunteer.

greatly surprised to see the veteran
return to st. Louis to play first base

but as his work was not particularly

In response to the demand. Jones was

FIXTURES IN GOLF
ARE WELL PLACED
Distribution of Champion
ship Events Meets With
Favor by Players.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Golfers gener-
ally agree that happy selection was
made by the delegates at the recent
annual meeting of the parent organiza-
tion in Chicago, so far as championship
courses were concerned.
Naturally the awarding OF the blue
ribbon fixture, the amateur champion
ship tournament, to the Apawamis
Club was popular, and for the same
reason the choice in favor of Baltusrol
for the women's met with equal appro-
LatiOn in metropolitan circles.
AS for the amateur, it is hardly nee
essary TO state that when the aspirants
for the coveted title. now held by w.
{. FOwnes. jr.. of Pittsburg. gather at
Rye next September they will find them
selves confronted with course which
vii! furnish a severe test.
Little Artificial Trouble.
Apawamis for years had the reputa-
tion of presenting little If any artificial
trouble, state of affairs at one time
made possible because of the many
natural advantages met with. Then
came the new idea in Sclf-the belief
that a links, to come up to require
mentS. should be ell trapped.
At first Apawamis was content to
make haste slowly, but during the last
season a number of pits made their ap-
pearance, and more are in prospect.
There have been places on the Apa-
wants course where wildness off the
tee incurred little or no penalty, but
there will be less of this in future. The
Apawamis greens have always been
ample and true, much to the delight of
visitors and members alike.
Can Handle Crowds.
Then, again, when it comes to the
problem of handling the crowd, Apa-
wants is once more equal to the task.
Its handsome clubhouse. rebuilt a couple
of years ago, is among the best in these
parts, and as 1t Is within a short dis
tance of Rye station, visitors will have
little difficulty in getting there.
During the last ten years Apawamis
has been the scene of many and varied
competitive events. Two metropolitan
championship tournaments are included
in the list. Findlay S. Douglas winning
the first time and Walter ]. Travis the
next. The women's metropolitan has
likewise been settled there. the winner
on that occasion being Mrs. E. A.
Manice. Year before last the college
boys took a hand in testing the Rye
links, and Albert Seckel. Of Princeton,
won the intercollegiate title.
Over in New Jersey the ever wakeful
officials of the Baltusrol Golf Club are
planning to leave nothing undone in
order to make the 1911 attractions the
best ever.

Alfred. N. Y, May 26.--The placing of a naked human corpse on a piano stool in the chapel of Alfred university last night, has so upset the faculty and student body that the programme pre- pared for the last day of the college year has been postponed. Students are suspected of the deed. but the faculty has been unable to get any definite clues.
 For several days the students have been in sullen mood over the suspension of the entire baseball team, which played a game recently without per mission.
