. MAJOR LEAGUES BATTING
. CHAMPIONS



New York, October 2O--Ty Cobb has
come back" After playing second
fiddle to Iris Speaker last season, Ty
this year resumed the batting leader
ship In the American league and for
the ninth time assembled the throne as
king Of swatters.
Unofficial batting averages for the
past season show nine players In the
American league and seven in the
National league who hit for 800 or
better.
According to these figures each
league is shy two members in the
fast set. az compared with the fig
ures Of the preceding year, The 1916
crop of 300 swatters included eleven
American leaguers-Speaker Of Cleve-
land, Cobb, Spencer and Veaoh Of De-
troit, Jackson, Il. Collins and Felsch
of Chicago, Rumler and Sisler of st.
Louis, Strunk Of Philadelphia, and
Gardner Of Boston. The nine National
leaguers hitting for 800 or better in
1916 were Chase of Cincinnati, Hoe
Ike, McCarty and Robertson of New
York, Higgins and Hornsby, of st.
Louis, Daubert and Wheat of Brook
Ign, and Hinchman of Pittsburgh.
Six of the American leagues 800
hitters of last year-Cobb, Speaker,
sisler, veach, Felsch and Jackson
are founding in the list Of leading
batsmen for the past season. In the
National league only two performers
-,Hornsby and Wheat - duplicated
their last years stick work by land
ing among the 800 hitters.
The newcomers who have broken
alto the 800 set this year include Nc
innis of Philadelphia, Lewis of Bos-
ION, and Harris of Cleveland, in the
american league, and Groh and
Roush of Cincinnati, Kauff, Burns and
Zimmerman of New York, in the Ma
tional league.
To all appearances the American
league heavy hitters are better able
to hold their own than are the Ma
tional leaguers. In the Johnson cir
cult the same old crowd has held
sway the past two years, while in
ne National league an almost entire
J new set of sluggers comes to the
rent each year.
Since 1913 Cobb has led the Ameri-
can league three seasons and Speak
err one season. During the same per-
iod four different players. Daubert,
Doyle, Chase and Roush, have led the
National league batsmen.
Cobbs' record is the most remark
able Ct its kind in the annals of the
national pastime. The Tiger star has
led the American league hitters nine
different seasons, seven Of which were
in succession. The nearest approach
TO this record is that Of John (Honus)
Wagner of Pittsburgh, who has led
the National league batsmen seven
seasons in all, four of which were in
succession.

HUBBARD To DEVELOP
GREAT VERDE EXTENSION

1t is reported that the United Verde
Extension is shipping ore at the rate
of twelve cars of ore daily and if this
production continues, it will mean ap-
proximately 100000 pounds of cop
per month, while the company only
averaged about 100000 during the
year 1916.
Last year the profits of the COM
pany were $6,938, 100, and, while no
statements have been issued so far as
to the earnings during the past three
months, it is safe to presume that the
United Verde Extension is earning
much more money than it did during
the same period last year. The COM
pany has just declared a regular
quarterly dividend of SO cents per
share, with an extra of 25 cents per
share, and this in itself is prima facia
evidence of the excellent condition of
the company
1t is understood that the Jerome
Verde people have stopped sinking at
the 1850 foot level, which corresponds
with the 400 foot level of the United
Verde Extension, and that after a sta
tion has been cut, drifting will start
east and west. 1t is commonly be-
lieved in Jerome that 600 feet of drift
ing east will cut an extension of the
United Verde Extension ore body
found in the Little Daisy. Those fa-
miliar with conditions state that about
ten feet daily is the limit on this drift
ing, and that it will take about sixty
days to prove up the ground east of
the Columbia shaft.

cate, who are financing the Great

NEAT SUM IS
REALIZED FOR
BELGIAN WORK

Gate receipts from the opening con-
test of the Tri-Copper League and pro-
ceeds from the sale of Belgian colors
and flags added over $500 to the Bel
gian relief fund now being raised by
the Woman's Guild of Ray in co-opera-
tion with the Woman's Auxiliary of the
American Institute of Mining En-
gineers. The baseball game netted
1925 to the fund, while the receipts
from the sale of buttonhole flags and
flowers by the women and girls of
starving Belgian kiddies.
Starting with the fund thus raised
as a nest egg, the people of Ray are
now preparing to make additional con-
tributions to this most worthy cause

a great benefit boxing contest, to be
held at the local diamond, at which
time also there will be presented a

fair, and swell the fund for the thous-
ands of little starving children of war;
torn Belgium.
Great credit for the starting and
successful conduct of the campaign
thus far must be given to the women
of the Guild, assisted by many of the
young women of Ray, who worked un-
tiringly last Sunday selling flags and
flowers for the Belgian relief fund
They are engaged in a noble work in
which it is not only a duty but a priv
llege to- share. If you haven't already
contributed, do SO at once, not Just a
little, but give enough so you will
feel it, That's the only kind of Civ
ing that counts. And then be sure to
attend the Benefit Boxing contest to be
given by the Ray Athletic club next
Tuesday night.

Wiggms Hotel

Fire was discovered at 9:45 Monday
morning in a store room on the roof
of the Wiggin's Hotel The room, a
corrugated iron affair 10x10, was filled
with mattresses.
The fire burned briskly and volun-
teers who climbed to the roof of the
three story structure had only a garden
hose and a few buckets of water with
which to fight the flames. The roof
of the main building caught in several
places, but was put out with the water
buckets Finally, two by fours from a
new building nearby were procured and
with these the building with its frey
contents was pushed from the roof to
the alley three stories below The
origin of the fire is unknown.

FAIRCHILD QUARTET
is COMING TO RAY

The next number on the lecture re-
cital course being held under the aus
pices of the Woman's Guild will be ethe
Fairchild Ladies quartet which will
be heard at the Iris theater next Fri
day night, April 81 The quartet is a
Redpath attraction, and comes to Ray
ly fine attractions of it's kind in the
country, and will be one of the treats
of the season.
The quartet is composed of Misses
Bessie Fairchild, pianist and soprano;
Mildred Mereness, cellist and soprano
Dorothy Fairchild violinist and con-
tralto; and Leila F'airchild, reader, vio-
linist, contralto and pianologist.
The members of the Fairchild Ladies
quartet are both vocalists and instru-
mentalists. Their program will include
instrumental and vocal quartets, piano,
violin, cello, soprano and contralto
solos, readings, pianologes, whistling
quartet and solos, instrumental duets
and trios and vocal duets.
These artists have had several years
experience in platform work, though
this is their first year under Redpath
management. The charming PERSONAL
tiles of these young ladies also at once
win their audiences.

demand for Great Verde Extension
stock continues to increase, and that
money for development purposes is
being rapidly raised.
The Great Verde Extension people
are going ahead with their plans and
it is expected that James Hubbard,
who is known to be associated with
the company, will have charge of their
development campaign. Mr.. Hubbard
has made a careful study of the exist
ing conditions on the properties of the
Great Verde Extensions popular
neighbors-the United Verde Exten-
sion, Jerome Verde and Dundee
Arizona, and he was for some time SUI
perfntendent of the latter property.
1t is understood that Mr. Hubbard has
recommended the sinking of a three
compartment shaft on that portion Of
the Great Verde Extension property
which lies Immediately east of the
Jerome-Verde and Dundee Arizona
SlIdl Us, anu WH6T0 the SeQ1monCdry
and silicious lime formations have
practically eroded. 1t is believed that
a shaft at this point will penetrate the
sulphide zone at a shallow depth, and
Mr.. Hubbard is firm in his belief that
this property will develop into a pro-
ducer.
Considerable attention has been
given lately to the aggressive manner
in which the Calumet and Jerome
people are pushing their development
work. 1t is said that during the month
of March they equalled the record for
three shaft sinking in
Arizona by putting their shaft down
1873 feet.
The Calumet and Jerome has now
reached a depth of 275 feet, and this
is being increased at the rate of about
$50 feet per month. A strong dixie
that outcrops just west of the shaft
and drifts eastward is expected to be
encountered at about 800 feet depth.

Urge Nurses to Make
 Immediate Return of
 State Census Blanks

'Wanted-Prompt returns of mili- tary census blanks by the 500 nurses in the state who have not yet for warded their blanks, to the state headquarters in Hartford"
 This hurry-up call was given out yesterday by the state headquarters of the Connecticut military census, which is now bending every energy to drawing together the loose ends of the work and closing up the entire task.
 Houghton Bulkeley who is supervis- ing the tabulation of returns from the nurses of the state, said yesterday that his department has taken care of all the returns thus far received, and
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-15

that the completeness of the task when the last return received is tabulated, now depends entirely upon the re- sponse by the 500 individual register ed nurses whose returned blanks have not yet been received at head quarters.
 The blanks already received, MT. Bulkeley said, indicates the willingness of a majority of Connecticut nurses to respond to an emergency call any where. MT. Bulke1ey expressed the belief that those nurses who have not yet forwarded their returns would do it as soon as the need for prompt action was put before them.
 At the same time, the request was made that any registered nurses in the state who have not received blanks for the military census write to the state headquarters in Hartford and ask for Blanks, which they may then fill out and return.
