New York. June 26.-The running of the Brooklyn Handicap at nine fur Clubs course at Aqueduct, L. T., to- day will be long remembered by the thousands who witnessed it.
 While Harry Payne Whitney's aged event, his stable mate, the chestnut n1Zre Regret, winner of the Ken lucky Derby of 1915, was the heroine of the race.
 yards of the finish this five year old daughter of Broonstick- Jersey Light ming led the field of eleven of the best horses in America, setting such a dig zy pace that the winners time, 1:4s 2-5, sets a new worlds record for the distance. The old record of 1.49 3-5 was made over the Laurel, Mir, track by Roaner, then a three year old, car rying 124 pounds, on October 10, 1914. Borrow and Regret finished first and second, a very short head separating them at the wire, with Old Rosebud length away in third place.
 From an inside position at the bar rier, Regret. carrying 122 pounds. broke in front and set a pace so hot that it seemed no horse could live be- behind it. Ormesdale, Roamer and Old Rosebud weer next in the order named but Ormesdale had enough before the Roamer hung on gamely until half way down the stretch where he was through. Borrow gradually worked his way up on the inside of the mare, caught her in the last fifty yards, and beat her out by a. head with Old Rose bud, always a prominent contender, a length back, third. Chiclet was fourth; Roamer fifth; Boots sixth; Srombo1i seventh and Clematis II was next, with OrTnesdale Omar Khayyam and Old Koenfg bringing up the rear as named.
 The showing made by both Boots and Omar Khayyam was very risap- pointing each of them being very slow in getting away from the post.

AMERICAN LEAGUE AVERAGES.
Cobb Still Leads Iris Speaker Who
 Has Fallen Back.

Perhaps it is just as well for Ty Cobb's peace of mind that Babe Ruth, of the worlds champion Red Sox, con fines his activities to left t-handed, pitch ing. What Ruth might do as a bats man if he were in there every day priming his eye may be surmised from what he has shown on his occasional visits as pitcher this season. Ruth has been seen in 20 games, as opposed to 53 for Cobb but in his 20 the hard faced Boston southpaw has outhit the Georgian Peach 1880 to .371, Hamilton, the St. Louis portsider, is hitting 400, but he has figured too seldom to count in the reckoning.
 Iris Speaker has fallen away behind Cobb. Last years champion has done no better than .34S to date. George Sisler, of the St. Louis Browns, has been booming along at a great rate re- gently and now can show fine .317.
 Pipp, with .2s0, is the leading Yankee hitter. Al Walters is right on Wally's s necktie with PTS, while Hendryx is only one point away, at .277.

Burns has dropped back to .320. which is a mighty fine record no matter how you look at it, but which, nevertheless, drops him away below several other regulars of his company.
 Cruise, of the Cardinals. one of this seasons sensations. is virtually lead ing the National League batters with the fine averag ge of .34S. He is topped by Tom Clarke, the Cincinnati catcher, and by Prendergast. the Cub pitcher Prendergast has a record of .462. but has been at bat officially only thirteen times. Clarke in firty-four times at bat has shown .364. Roush. of the Reds. Is pressing Cruise closely at .344. J. Smith, of St. Louis, Fischer Pitts burgh, and Griffith, Cincinnati, are all tied at .333.

"A Notable Spirit of Fathfuness and Courage Have Been Evident in Work and Progress of Woman's Missionary Union Within the Past Year-Miss Laura Lee Patrick

has been dedicated, and who, up to the time of her death, resided here
 T think it is not aiuiss, Miss Fat rick said, flor me to say that we are very proud of the a.uount supscriped by the Woman's Missionary union the past year, amounting 70 $36,OOO for our work Miss Patrick said. Out ot thls amount much good will come, and may mention that the Margaret fund tor the education of the children ot ms sionaries, is one of the most important.
 we have pledged ourselves as mem. bers of the Woman's Missionary union. Miss Patrick said, to aid in the con- servation of food during the war, to eliminate waste as much as possible and thus doing our ou for the army and navy men who are fighting for us in foreign fields We are looking ahead also in our work and we are now planning reconstruction work when the war is over.
 1T would like to say that at no time in the history of the Woman's Missions ? ary union," Miss Patrick observed, have we ever been more encouraged III our work and never have we had better re- ports of our varied activities from every source during the present convention we have heard stirrinS. ringing reports given by two foreign missionaries, Miss Caldwell of Ping-tu, China and Miss Tucker of Shanghai, the latter being engaged with Miss Kelley in work among the Chinese people. Miss Willie Kelley's school there is known far and wide, and if is an additional matter of interest to
 Birmingham people that former resi- dent of this city MT. w. T. Smith, gave the buildings for Miss Kelley's school in Shanghai.

NO REDUCTION IN FOOD FOR ARMY
 IS CONTEMPLATED
War Department Will Not Sacrifice Efficiency of Men to Save Even
 S10O,O0O Daily
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, November 22.-(SpeeiaL3 Dietary theorists will fail in their e1- fort to conserve the food supply py decreasing war rations.
 As is recalled, the food administra ton has declared that reduction ol 20 per cent in the per diem supply ot United States troops would result Ill per diem saving of $10o,Ooo.
 The war department admits the fig ures of the food administration correct It points out at the same time, that saving of $100,000 per day would re- duce the fighting efficiency of the army. The proposed peatless day for the army will not be put into effect
 The food theorists declared that the rations could be reduced from an aver age of 2300 to 5000 calories, not only at saving of s1o0,oo0 per day but with the result that American lives would be protected from German bullets.
 It was pointed out that America must feed the allies, and that an American must take the place of every French man and Eng1ishman who falls from the ranks as a result of malnutrition
 The quartermaster's department, however, is practical and is of the opinion that as fighting is the business of the army. the army should be fed meat. It is contended that the daily mess of the American troops is the most evenly balanced in the world, and that it should not be interfered with even by the most apparently tenable theories. All waste will be eliminated. army chiefs declare, as soon as the national army and national guard or ganizations are on an equally efficient footing with the regular establishment. But in their determination not to change the diet, they are firm, and have the support of the medical de- partment of the government.
 So the Huns will find themselves "up against" meat eaters, and all that sav. age strength that comes from diet of beef and pork and crisp bacon. Going on a diet' is all right, army chiefs declare, for the clerk and the banker, but all wrong for the man whose business is to march all day and throw bombs all night

definite mark for them along with our foreign and home mission objects.
 '.Educationally,' Miss Patrick ssid. "the past year shows advancement, 10S mission study classes oeing reported. At Judson college, for instance, all but two girls were in mission study classes. One of our most notable plans has developed tremendously during the present con- vention in Birmingham. I refer to the Amanda Tupper Hamilton Memorial fund, which, while started two years ago. took on new vigor and life during the convention and $5000 has been pledged to. this fund. And this, l am sure, will be of interest to the many Birmingham friends of this noble Chris tian woman to whose memory this fund
