FACTS, FIGURES ANDFABLES FOR FANS
(BY QUIMBY MELTON.)

NO less a llSHC Jndl COuule MACK IL
responsible for the statement that bat
tiers are born and not made. A man
who hits the ball on the nose appeals
to the average fan more than the
best fielder in existence. For that
reason fans like to scan the batting
averages of their favorites. Readers
of the T.-R. will have a chance to keep
up with what the locals are doin.,
with the stick Beginning with this
issue we will publish each day the
batting averages of the home player;
up to and including the afternoon
game of the day before.
Well, we go after Otto Jordan and
his gang this afternoon. Three games
in a row from the chesty Valdosta
guys would look mighty good. And
why not? Come on, your fans, open
up.
Brouthers and Bill Kuhlman were
the batting stars in yesterdays game.
These two lads WELD a willow with
ease and when they land they send il
to the far corner of the lot.
Congratulations are in store. And
Dick Manchester is the guy. Exact
ly twenty-one years ago today, Dick
first opened his mouth and began 70

since. Dick is leading in the popu.
larity contest of the Georgian. There
are but seven more days in which. to
clip your votes and send them in. Get
busy, and let's give this peppery bac&-
stop that cup
Bernstein still keeps up his good
playing. He connected safely on two
occasions and accepted enough
chances at short to keep the atten-
ton of the fans on him all the way.
Hal Griffin has saved the home. in
field many an error this season. That
Il big boy scoops them up like a. Hal
Chase. He also manages to poke the
iball to the outfeld every now and
then. Bowen attracted lots of atteE-
ton by the good game he played NJ
the hot corner.
Whitley Morse. is ball player, there
is no getting around that. The old
horse is far from all in. He has, a
| pretty ragged bunch to play with
though now, as the team is forced y

luck, Whitley! -.-..

the world is governed and controlled

laws. The most common of these
laws is the law OF gravity which is

In human affairs we are still governed

In the text found in the Mt,
End Timothy, another meaning to

or Of this text, like all his people, re-
garded the o. T. as the sacred writ

sought to give instructions to Others,
Of the way Of salvation, and it had
become, through long usage, the law
Of right living. So he called it
"Breathed of God" Every scrip
ture inspired Of God was good, etc.
This is a clear case Of metonomy-
the effect put for the cause. The
scripture does not breathe life.
These writings breathe forth what was
in the writer's who spake what they
believed to be truth and verify. In
no analytical sense can we say they
are breathed Of God. There arr
many writings in the world that are
not breathed OF God, and these do
not give instruction in righteousness
nor do they teach Godliness but the
contrary. So, after all, this writing
had to be brought before the court

inquiry before which every writing is
to be brought to determine whether
it is God breathed? 1t is clear that
the wisdom that is required to test
these writings is equal to that which
produced them. II not, then there
will be no way to determine whether
they are God breathed or not.
The compilation Of the o. T. and
also OF the N. T. was many centuries
after the writing, 50 they hat COM

TWo Women Milionaiyes Of Japan
Haze Won Right Of Equal Suffrage

Toxic. Dec. 27.-The constant discus
sion in Japanese newspapers and mag
azines Of the question of wOmen's rights
and woman suffrage served as a striking
example of the rapidity with which
Western thought and Western ideas are
being assimilated in Japan.
Today the supporters of the wOmen's
rights movement are gleeful over the
fact that two women milliOnaires of To
kio have Won the right to vote at NUM-
cipal and ward elections. The municipal
regulations grant the right of suffrage
to any sub ects over twenty five years
of age. The woman suffrage advocates
contcndcd that this clause permits WON,
en- to vote if their property uqalifica-
tons were sufficient and the Home Of
flee upheld the contention.
An important monthly magazine has
placed a set of question before noted
japanese women on the future of the
sex in Japan, %propounding such queries
as what can be done to improve the con
ditiOn of the japanese women: request
ing opinions as to the suffrage move
men in the west. as well as the ques-
ton of social independence. and in a

Drilling soldiers in the task of how to

of this years big military manoeuvres

cording to foreign experts who were
present.
Every day the purpose of the II
