able Player.

Ray Chapman of the Cleveland In
dams, has usurped the crown for being
the hardest hitting shortstop in the
major leagues, taking the honor away
from Arthur Fletcher of the Giants,
who has enjoyed the distinction ever
since IIonus Wagner of the Pirates,
slipped back a few years ago.
Moreover Chapman is outclassing
the shareholders I'm other things besides
hitting. He has stolen more bases than
any man in either league, leading both
Ty Cobb and Max Carey. He Is easily
the most valuable all-round shortstop
In the game on this years record.
They can talk about Maranville. Ban
croft and Peckinpaugh and Fletcher as
the king of shortiiclders. But you can
not put in the balance .245 or even n
.26O batting average with one better
than 300 by little superlntive fielding
particularly when the 300 hitter is u
very capable fielder himself.
Chapman Is not only the leading bat
ter of the major leagues this year
among the shortstops, remarkable
base runner and a great run scorer,

The next thing Rubc Vanguard,
maker of records. will shoot for IL the
thinning record Of Jack Coombs. who
In 1906 won the longest major league
game ever played.
Rube, however, could retire from
baseball tomorrow with more records
than any baseball pitcher ever
achieved. In 1912 Rube tied Tim
Kcefes old record by winning 10
straight and in 1914 he pitched the
longest National league game ever
fought up to that time. defeating Pitts
burgh in u 21-inning contest. Recent
ly Vanguard got into the twenty-sec-
ond inning of the game played between
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh on Ebberts
Field In time to get credit for winning
the longest tilt IN the II years the Ma
;ional league has been In existence.

Pittsburg should twice be the team
lsed to establish new National
league record and that Vanguard

PARIS TO Be BOXING CENTER
That Is Prediction Of Dick kIesin, In
ternationai Pugiiist Promoter
Game 10 Popular.

"When the European war Is over
and things have settled down to some
thing like normal, Paris will be the
greatest boxing center the world has
ever known" This Is the prediction
made by Dick Klegin, international
pugilist promoter.
"They appreciate boxing to the full
est in the great French capital. And
don't for moment think that the
French republic will not produce some
great men, too" he added.
Carpenter Is not the only great
fighter they have had. He naturally
attracted the most attention because
he was big fellow and had meteOric
career. He came up practically from
featherweight, fighting his way
through all the classes as he took on
weight.
England always has boosted OF its
great boxers, but that nation will have
to step some to hold its own with the
French after the war"

LONG DRIVE IS SATISFYING
Ball Goes 200 Yards Straight
Down the Field.

What IL the secret of the long drive
In the game of golf? That 1t Is not
entirely due to physical power has been
proven, but the answer proves the
most elusive Of things when one seeks
to drive II to its lair. Let one say
what he will about the feeling of sat
isfaction over II mashie pitched well
to the green, or long iron sent speed
ing toward the flag, or even the putt
Of 20 feet that lands In the cup--when
all this is said and done, there Is no
exhilaration In golf quite comparable
with that which follows drive well
over 200 yards sent straight down the
middle Of the field.
There Is an approach to 1t, one must
admit, In the eXultatlon that succeeds
a brassie shot Of 200 yards or more,
for there Is certain surprise mingled
with delight at picking the ball out of
the grass and sending 1t on its way
like a bullet, and the element of sur
prise is lacking in the drive where the
teed ball presents n suggestion of GER
tainty which Is not to be found out
on the fairway. Still the tee shot
begins the play of the hole, the senti-
ment that "well begun Is half done"
cannot but be associated with the in
itial shot, since If it Is poorly made,
there Is Il handicap established at once
that must be overcome In the succeed,
ing shots.

KEEP UP FOOTBALL INTEREST

test Of Season Slated for Ann
Arbor, November 10.

Cornell and Michigan will do their
bit this fall to keep up the interest
In football. The annual game between
these two schools was scheduled as
usual last winter, but owing to unrest
In football circles as a result of this
cOuntry's entry into the war it was
thought doubtful for time that the
game could be played.
AS result of Secretary of War
Bakers boost for football and college
athletics in general, the Cornell-Michi-

1t will he the biggest intersectiOnal at
traction of the season.
Cornell took stand for football
while Harvard and Yale announced
plans for abandoning their schedules,
and the re-entry of Michigan into the

to do with the decision of the athletic
board to go through with football plans

urably benefited II the playground sys.

ment to which 1t Is destined to rise II
good sportsmen will keep their Shout

This leader Of ball players based his

petent instructors that are assigned to
playground directing, and they will
also gain their knowledge of the game
under the proper disciplinary methods.
The real success In any line of sport
comes from its pursuit under compe-
tent direction and with the proper dis.
cipline exercised. This viewpoint Is
worthy of thought. If II holds good of
baseball, II also follows that the same
result will be attained In tennis, track

next generation will be far superior to
the present In I'LL athletics.

but has become the most adept man In
the game In the use of the sacrifice.
Chapmun's ability to sacrifice has made
him invaluable In the second position
of the Cleveland batting order.
The basc.runnng ability Of the Cleve-
lander Is the more remarkable because
of the fact that two years ago he In
jured his knee 40 badly that 1t was
feared 1t might cause his retirement
from baseball. II did handicap him Sc
verely last year. In fact, Wumbsganss
was thought to have supplemented him
permanently ut shortstop for the ln-
dams.
A hitting shortstop has been rarity
since the passing of Wagner. Fletcher
has been the only shortiielder of the
big leagues to make any pretense at
hitting until Chapman's rise.

Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone is coni- plaining of the high cost of living It might be well to see If We cannot elim- mate two great sources of waste-fres and rats.
 Most fires are needless. All rats are so. Some years ago a study of the rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at the conclusion that the rodents of that city ate more than a million dollars worth of food each year. At that rate, the disgusting creatures can hardly cost less than s1OO.OOO.OOO per year to the whole country. This is a pret- ty high price to pay for the compan- ionship of impish pests which, besides their other bad habits, undermine floors and carry the most dreaded of all diseases. bubOnic plague.
 Yet fires are more expensive than rats. In 1915-the last year for which figures are at hand-the American people paid out In premiums for fire insurance SIl9,361 ,346. Of this vast sum at least three-fourths could be saved by reducing our fire record to the rate prevailing in England, France or Germany; and even in our time and nation s3OO,OO0.0OO per year is sav- ing worth noting, and one which would have a perceptible effect on the cost of living.
