CHAMPION BOSTON
 RED SOx ARE SOLD
New York and Philly Theatrical
 Men New Owners

Boston, Nov. 2.-Harry H. Frazee of New York and Hugh Ward of Philadelphia, two men well known in the theatrical world, have bought the Boston Red Sox, American League worlds champions In 1916. They now own the grounds at Fenway Park, the franchise, and the play CTS, and they paid a price of $675,00O. The deal was closed last night
 MT. Frazee is the owner of the Longacre theater in New York, the Cort theater in Chicago, and is in terested in many theatrical enter prises throughout the country. He is only 36 years of age and nearly twenty years ago when a mere youth of the Western League. He always has been a great lover of the game. an intimate friend of the late Frank G. Selee, and has tried to buy sev- eral clubs during the last three years, among others the Boston Braves, the Red Sox, and the New York Giants. MT Frazee makes his home in New York city.
 Hugh Ward is a native of Phila- delphia and a theatrical man. He IS poIndpS, lWO years OldeI tildll MI Freeze. It was MT. Ward who first interested Mr. F'razee in the purchase of the Boston Red SoX. This was after witnessing the splendid exhibi- tion of baseball shown by the Amer ican league champions in the pos season last month.
 Deal Quickly Closed
 The former owner, Joseph J. Lan- min of Boston and Garden City, l.. I. has said several time during the past two years that he was willing to sell out if he could get his price, and when Frazee and Ward sent him word a week ago that they would like to dis club he soon learned that the pros pective purchasers were responsible in every way and were perfectly sat- isfa ctory to the American league.
 They were ready to take over all o1 MT. Lannin's holdings, including the grounds, and in a cash transaction The affair was kept absolutely secre until the deal was closed last night MT. Lannin's reasons for selling out were given by himself last night.
 1T am too much of a fan to run @ baseball club,". he said, "and found that it was interfering with my health as I always have had more or less trouble with my heart. I think this is the proper time to sell, as good cus- toners were on hand to buy for cash

INJURED YANKEES PAID,
Secretary Sparrow Denies Statement
 of Fultz to the Contrary.

New York, Nov. 2.-Secretary liar ry Sparrow of the Yankees took en- phatic exception yesterday to the statement made by President David l.. FUitz of the Players Fraternity that there were players on the New York club who had contracts which barred them from being paid during periods of injury. Secretary Sparrow pointed to the last season, when half a dozen of the Yankees were on the injured list at one time.
 Why" said MT. Sparrow, i've paid cut enough money to injured players during the last season to finance new league. I don't know of any in iured player who was not paid during the period of his disability. If there are any he can put in his claim and get it, but I don't know of any, and if there were such cases, I am pretty certain that would know about it."

And Captain Black is feeling slack And Braden's leg runs gore; And Charley Taft has hurt his knee, And Gates has cracked his spine, They're using stretchers for the backs And crutches for the line; It's the same old story, fellows, We've heard so loft before, The same old bunch of cripples, The same old Eli roar; But it doesn't go in Princeton, Where every freshman knows There are no Eli cripples When the final whistle blows.

The Proof.

On the Monday ahead, an able bodied and extremely virile citizen of our acquaintance is going to drive a golf ball that will carry 900 yards and that will travel over 2,OOO yards be- fore it finally ceases to spin along it's way
 This may sound to be an incredible proof-viz
 On the Monday ahead, at D. m., Charles F.. Van Loan, the eminent impresario, is going to tee up a ball on Pima Point, at the Grand Canyon, and after one wild swing let Nature do the rest
 From Pima Point the first landing place is a trife over half mile. And when the ball lands it strikes upon a down grade. which extends some over i 1000 yards further on
 It may be advanced that some golfer ice. To meet this controversy Mr. Van. Loan will offer the carry of his shot, 900 yards, and insist that only the carry shall count. There may be a slip. of course. He may top the shot. in which case the carry will be only 600 or 700 yards.
 But before he is through Van in takes up an entire afternoon and all the golf balls he can carry in a big bag.

These dispatches are in a position today to scoop the sporting realm on one of the greatest records ever es- tablished.
 You may have heard of the golf drive Horne, the Englishman, once made. It was something like 395 yards.
 You may have heard of a brassie shot Jimmy Braid made, where the carry was over 300 yards and the total distance made about 38O.
 These marks, after the forthcoming M onday, will no longer stand as records for long distance drives.
 They will be beaten so far, both in carry and in roll, that they will hardly be considered more than puts or short clip shots

1HOW THE CITY BOY
WON MAKES 5000 STORY
Took Farmers Winter Course NJ
V. p. I. and Then Bought
Some Cows.

Blacksburg, Va, Nov. 1S.-'In con-
| sidering the advantages that an agri.
cultural education offers young men,"
says G.. c. Starcher. associate pro-
| fessor of horticulture at the Virginia
| Polytechnic Institute. we are prone
to think that the city boy Is at a great
| disadvantage and that time spent in
an effort TO acquire an agricultural
education is almost lost. One Incl
! dent. which casts an interesting light
on this subject, occurred at the Bed
ford Fair in October.
Last February. Kenneth Jones, a
boy of nineteen. who had lived all his
life in Boston. came to the Farmers
Winter Short Course held during that
month at the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute. This course was made as
comprehensive as possible. and was
pursued with great earnestness by the
young city boy. After having COM
pleted the worlA Kenneth went to
work on his fathers farm. which he
had just bought near Bedford City.
He bought q small herd of good cows
built q small barn, bought a first class
cream separtor and good churn;
and in order to control the temper
allure OF his cream. he constructed a
small ice chest in his fathers cellar.
He did all the work himself and was
almost creamery prices In Bedford
and Roanoke. The day / visited the
farm in October. Kenneth had gone
10 Roanoke by train. carrying a suit
case in which he had packed 80
pounds Of butter. worth nine dollars.
several dozen egga worth thirty cents
per dozen. and had In another pack
age two dressed chickens, worth one
dollar each.
But this is only an incident In. and
rot the main point of my story. The
Bedford County Fair was being held
that week. Kenneth had entered a
pound OF butter In competition with
thirty of the best butter makers in
the county. The butter exhibit was
judged 10y one of the college profess
sors and a domestic science teacher
IN one of our State Normal schools.
Neither of the judges knew that Ken
meth was an exhibitor. Imagine our
surprise and the CONSERVATION OF the
star bl tier maker OF Bedford county.
when il was learned that Kenneth
Jones. the nintteen-year -old city boy
with one mouths college work. had
tied for second lace.

Controversy Grows Out OF Funston's
Attempt TO Prevent Baptist MIN

r.. H. Pitt to describe the threat OF
General Funston, delivered in re-
Spouse to the recent action Of the
Baptist General Association, In Nor
folk, when they protested against his
refusal to allow Baptist evangelists to
hold revival services among the men
on the border. A newspaper dispatch
from San Antonio quotes General
Funston as saving:
"Baptists who are distorting the
statement of my position regarding
the kind OF church work acceptable
In border camps had better put their
property in the names of their
wives"
In reply to this retort, DR.. Pitt said:
General Funston's truculent threat
Is childish and no will find that he
is not dealing with children, but with
grown men. who know their rights.
and knowing, dare maintain them.
The facts recited in the paper were
given TO the public weeks age, ana
have been freely discussed in the
newspapers. No denial of their sub
stantial accuracy has appeared. The
committee In charge of the paper will
seek an carly opportunity OF visiting
the President and laying the matter

set Of resolutions presented last week
to the general as collation. by DR.. r. n
Pitt, In protest against certain com
mands issued by General Funston at

Der OF Jews and Catholics, and men

be permitted to preach, provided they
