NO finance TOT speaker
There apparently is no chance for
Iris Speaker, the 1915 batting cham
pion, to overcome Ty Cobb's lead in
the American league. Averages, In
cluding games of Wednesday show
the Georgian hitting SIS, with Speak
er 20 points behind him.
Cobb probably will fall short of
driving out $50 hits this season, al
though he already has made 218. His
consistent stick work brought his to-
tai base hitting up to 325. His record
includes Al doubles, "a triples and s
circuit drives.
There is a merry scramble on for
base stealing honors with Cobb and
Chapman, of Cleveland, pressing Bob
by Roth for the lead. Roth, with ~,
has one point advantage. Chapman
Is firmly in possession of sacrifice

Detroit shortstop, retains a 5-run lead

FAIR RUNAWAYS WANT TO SEE
"BIG TOWN."

Claiming that they had been ill
treated at their homes in Cynthiana
two young girls named Irene and
Margaret Marshall ran away from
their homes in that city Wednesday,
coming first to Paris, where they
hired a horse and buggy from liv-
cry stable, and proceeded to take in
the town.
Becoming suspicious the proprietor
of the stable sent man out to hunt
them. He found them on the Lex
ington pike, saying that they were
headed for Lexington with the inten-
ton of seeing the -'big town." They
were brought back here and the
horse and buggy returned to the
stable. The girls afterward went to
Lexington, but the news of their es-
capade had been sent on ahead OF
them by the Paris police, and they
were taken in tow upon their arrival.
The youthful travellers were escorted
to the police station, where they were
placed in the care Of the Police Mat
ron, until Deputy Sheriff came from
Cynthiana and returned them tt
their home. One of the girls said sh'

MEN FROM KY. CAMP TO GO TO

Word has been received at Camp
Taylor, near Louisville, that 1000
of the selected draft soldiers there.
will be sent to Camp Shelby, Hatties-
burg, to fill vacancies in the Ma
tional Guard units of Kentucky, In
diana and West Virginia.
Whether the men will be ordered
South as soon as equipped, if the
Nplan is put into action, or held at
Camp Taylor until fully trained is
not known. There is speculation
among the officers whether the
number, which it is understood, will
be ordered from Camp Taylor will
leave a decrease in the number to
be drafted to the camp, or whether
more men will be drafted to fill up
the ranks.

COAL SITUATION REMAINS UNI
CHANGED.

There has been practically. no
change in the coal shortage situation
in this city. Rapid depletion of the
supplies in the yards of the local
dealers continues. One dealer said
that if he had not adopted the sys-
tenn of selling only small amounts to
each patron, he could have closed out
his entire stock in one day. Practi-
