YOU grant me- space 10 correct the state

that there are four million women now

would be effective In national elections"
According 10 the last census report in the
nine States where women have full suf-
frago and in Illinois where they have
restricted suffrage. there were only
little more three and quarter million
women over 81 years of age, including
negroes, Indians, Asatics and non-natu-
rallied Europeans. And not more than
two-thirds OF the women entitled TO vote
register. and not more than 10 per cent
Of those who register vote, the number of
voting women that tho suffragists can
claim TO represent Is considerably less
than two million.
When facts and figures are used as the
basis Of an argument, II IL essential that
the facts and figures presented should
bear some relation TO truth, and exas-
geration of 100 per cent. shows consider
able weakness somewhere.
Tho other statement Is that "one million
club women have Just come out for SUI

the first statement. The fact is that a
majority of delegates to tho Women's
Federation of Clubs, without being SO

Ing and M Hating

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN---Sir! The
letter from one OF your correspondents
signed -" published in THE SUN OF July
Q impels me to recall the free batting
games of baseball of the earlier days
when the pitcher pitched and when the
batter dared to step in without fear OF
painful or permanent injury.
The entire game now hinges on cata-
pultic pitching, dangerous alike to the
pitcher and the man at bat. Few pitch
ers attain to tho johnson or Wood class
and hold It for any length OF time. The
pace Is too nerve, bone and muscle de-
stroying: the fortunate possessors Of an
arm that will even occasionally shoot
balls over the plate like a bullet for nine
consecutive innings are llonized by the
crowd and get enormous salaries on ac-
count OF their drawing ability. Yet IL is
hard for mo to explain why this should be
SO. Most people whom I meet say they
would prefer n free batting game, some
thing next to impossible against the fear
full hurting OF these steel muscled athletes.
Fear ~ really felt by the opposing
batsmen. and this II a great factor In the
success of this type OF pitcher. Joe
Wood Is haunted by an ever present fear
that he will actually kill a man some
day. What enjoyment there Is in seeing
men go to bat only TO strike out or to
be called out on strikes is "A mystery
