DENY women ARE LOATH

NEW YORK. June 16.-Suffrage
leaders who are acting In the State
military census now being taken have
come 10 the defence OF their sisters
and return a verdict OF not guilty to
the alleged crime OF age bashfulness.
e. p Goodrich. director OF the census
in this city, recently issued a state
ment I'm which he declared much OF
the confusion in distributing the
blanks for the census was due 20
women refusing to register In their
home districts. where they did not
want their age known. thereby Great

where the registration should have
been light
Miss Camilla Morgan. Mrs. Ray
mond Brown and Mrs John Hum
phrey Watkins are among the suf-
fnge leaders who gave out statements
today declaring that in their home
districts women living in the vicinity
had registered in large numbers. and
consequently could not have gone
elsewhere TO conceal their ages from
their neighbors who might be acting
as registration clerks.
More than 100000 residents OF
New York have been registered in

NEW YORK. June t6.-Selecting

big league endeavOr isn't matter OF
gathering the dope on Babe Ruth. Fer
die Schupp, Ed Plank, Rube Waddell'
Doc White and the others on down
the list OF on-handers who have made
baseball history.
Eddie Plank undoubtedly has built
himself a pedestal on which he stands
pretty firmly in a class by himself. but
Waddell and White also attained
heights any youngster would be glad
TO reach. with Waddell Il was more
OF joke than anything else, but his
record is so fne-his ability too pro-
nounced to be left out OF a line OF
hurlers who have flashed a wonderful
lot OF stun.
It's hardly fair to say that Babe
Ruth is the games greatest lefthand-

that Ferdie Schupp OF the Giants, Is
entitled 20 the palm. Ruth has done
remarkably well against National
