NO new KINGS?
Passing of Cravath Leaves
Home Run Title Unclaimed.
There Are No Big League Fence
Busters Like Him Now.
nv JACK VEIOCK.

New York, April 23.-Since Gavvy
Cravath has slowed up as a demon
buster of fences the title of home-run
king in the major leagues is a mooted
question.
Gavvy, at his best, was q ripsnorter-
For three straight seasons he ham
mered out four-base wallops with
regularity that astounded the fans
and busted the hearts of the pitchers
In 1918 Cravath poled nineteen hon.
ers out of National league lots. In
1914 he came right back with nine
teen more to show that his perform
ance of the previous year was not
flash in the pan. And then, in 1915,
he sma Shed home-run traditions or
years by soaking the horsehide out
of the lot twenty-four times.
Frank Baker at his best as home
run slugger couldn't hold candle to
Cravath Tho Baker led the Ameri
can league in home runs in 1911, 1912
and 1913, and tied with Sam Craw-
ford in 1914, the most he ever got in
a season was twelve round-trip swats.
Three Candidates.
And now, with Cravath out of the
home-run limelight. three swatsmen
are sharing the title of king of the
home-run hitters-
Wallie Pipp stands alone in the
American league. He topped his
league in homers last season with a
total of twelve. But two National
league players have an equal claim to
the title, for Davey Robertson of the
Giants and F. Williams of the Cubs
both slugged out an even dozen cir
cult hits last year.
Perhaps some new slugger of the
demon type will spring up this year.
Who knows? And then again, it is
more than likely that the home-run
swatterS who have stood out in front
for the past few seasons will continue
to hold their places.
A glance thro National and Ameri-
can League records shows that the
sluggers in Governor Tener's circuit
were either luckier, faced weaker
pitching or were heavier sluggers than
those in the American.
The Old Leaders.
Robertson and Williams, with
twelve home runs each, head the list
next, with eleven circuit swats; lack
Wheat and Benny Kauff poled out
nine apiece; Paskert and Stengel
registered eight, and Carey, Saler and
MerkIe were credited with seven all
around.
In the younger league Frank Baker,
with ten honors, ranks second to
Wallie Pipp. Walter Schang and Os-
car Felsch have seven each to their
credit and Derrill Pratt, E. Smith,
Graney and Cobb smashed the globule
out of the parks five times each in
1912.
The total figures indicate one of
two things-either the pitching in the
National League is weaker than that
in the American, or the old league is
blessed with the heaviest sluggers.

BRAVES IN RACE
They Are Right on the Heels OF
the Giants Today.
White SOX Hold Good Lead in
the American League.

New York, April 23.-It is the
Braves again who are proving the
stickers in the side of the Giants. With
five victories last week and only one
defeat, they lead the New Workers,
who won four and lost two. but they
are slightly in the rear of John Nc
Graw's lean on the league standing
The Cardinals and Braves per-
formed the same stunt, each winning
a quintet of games. In the case of the
Cardinals it may be an exhibition OF
early season pep" but with the
Braves it is different. After sue
cumbing to the Giants in the opening
series they came to New York and so
far have dumped the favOrites for one
fall out of two starts. They were card
ed for another crack at McGraw to-
day.
Philadelphia turned up with the
poorest record of the week in the Ma
tional league, winning only one and
losing five. The champion Dodgers
won two and lost four.
Dodgers Need Pitchers.
Pitching fragility seems to have de-
scended on Philadelphia and Brook
lyn. neither of these clubs, each given
a chance in the race, has started be-
cause of this defect.
The White Sox are running along on
early season predictions and start TINS
week with five victories and one defeat
back of them for the last six days
The Red SoX We're second with TOUR
won and one lost. The 1anks won
three and lost one.
The Senators brought up the rear IN
the American league. winning only
one garra ard dropping four.
The White SoN and Red SoX seem
20 have. so far. the only stable hurl-
in~ stafrs in the American league. The
others hove shown decidedly erratic
tendencies.

AN INDIGNANT DENIAL
Germany Says Story of Rendering
Human Bodies Is Untrue

London, April 23.-Indignant denial
that Germans are using human car
casses from which to render fats, lubrl-
eating oils and fertilizer, was made in
a Berlin wireless dispatch intercepted
here today The story of a German
factory where the dead were thus re-
duced had been in circulation here
for several weeks.
1.-The newspaper Lokal Anzeiger
which was quoted in stories describ-
ing the mill used to transform the car
cases of animals into oil used the eX-
preston 'cadaver,' the wireless de-
clared. This word is never used to
describe human bodies-it means only
the carca sSeS of animals.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. s.
Groups of men numbering probably
400 in the aggregate, have armed
themselves and were gathering in
several places in South Central Okla
homa tonight prepared to resist for
chilly their selection as soldiers under
the draft law. Discovery by officials
late tonight, Of the existence of a
new band of resisters who are
thought to have established base
near Shawnee. a few miles southeast
of this city, has increased the anxiety
of State officials as to the probability
of combining the agitation within the
five counties already affected.
A hundred armed men are patroll-
ing the streets of Aleen. Henryetta
also is filled with armed citizen-de-
puties.
At the direction of Gov. Williams,
who hesitates to use national guards
men against the resisters, hundreds
of armed civilians have concentrated
in Seminole, Hughes, Pontotoc, Ok
mulgee, Pottawatemie counties and
will make an effort tomorrow to ar
rest the resisters.
Several Arrests Made.
According to late reports to Gov.
Williams one of the bands has locat-
ed near Sasakwa. another is at Hol-
denville, another at Wel1oka and the
last heard from had gathered at
Rock Crossing on the South Cana
dian river.
Several arrests have been made of
men charged with resisting the draft
throughout the affected localities, and
one, Socialist agitator. was arrest
ed at Holdenville. when it was dis
covered he was carrying a grip slled
with ammunition. Sheriffs of the
five counties have informed the Gov
ernor that the situation is out of
their control and State officials
await with anxiety the outcome of
the attempt being made by civilian
posses to arrest the men tomorrow.
The bands are composed for the
most part of negroes. Indians and
farmers, who are tenants on the
lands held by the Government in
trust FOR Indians. 1t has not been
determined what influence was be-
hind the movement to resist the draft
law.
