The Latest Neus From The World Of Sport

but the fact is Stanley made his en-
trance in the big show two years ago
via Cleveland, coming up from Port
land.
Last season Stanley was one of
the most effective, and at the same
time most unfortunate pitchers, in
the American league. He probably
lost more hard luck games than any
other pitcher in Ban Johnson's or
ganization. Had he won even three
fourths of the heart breaking games
that went against him he would have
just about led the league. Imagine
pitching a. two-tlit game for a
starter and losing 10! That's what
he did against the White Sox g. year
ago last April. And in June the
same team beat him on three hits.

SENATE COMMITTEE
 TO HAULT WAR QUERY
WISHES TG PUSH NEEDED ARMY PURCHASE LEGiSEATION-BAK-
 ED TO BE FIRST HEARD.

Washington.-In order to quickly press in the Senate legislation which it regards as necessary to improve the army purchasing system, the Sen ate military committee decided to suspend it's war inquiry after hearing Secretary Baker on war ordnance and supplies.
 MT. Baker was invited to appear Thursday, and when his examination is completed the committee plans to report to the Senate on the progress of it's investigation and recommend legislation which Chairman Chamber lain is expected to outline in the re- port. A bill to create a Department of Munitions with a civilian head all ready has been introduced by Sena- tor Chamberlain, but details of other proposed measures have not been dis closed.
 Examination of Chas. Eisenman, mittee of the Council of National De fense, was completed and the com mittee will wind up the clothing branch of it's inquiry later by questioning A. L. Scott of the sup plies committee and David Kirsch baum, Philadelphia manufacturer.
 After championing it's bills in the Senate, the committee will return to the inquiry and take up cantonments, aviation and the medical corps and other subjects.
 In his testimons MT. Eisenman de- fended the work of the supplies com mittee, it's policies and personnel and criticised the War Departments pur- chasing system, which, he said, was handicapped by "red tape" and the lack of officers trained in business.
 The committee, he said, had saved the government not less than $75, ,000,- GOO on purchases, and he emphatical- ly denied that any members of the committee had sought advantage through their official positions for companies in which they were finan- cially interested.

Col. James L. Smith is a veteran of the Civil war. He is seventy-three years old; he lives in Detroit and never misses q day from his desk in one of the city's big automobile plants, relates the American Magazine. Army surgeons have pronounced him "a physical specimen without a parallel because he runs, or walks, five miles as a minimum and ten miles as max mum every day. That is his under standing of the secret Of his youth. He doesn't claim that 1t is the secret for other people necessarily tt is the secret for him. Detroiters no longer turn their head when they see this white-haired man come running down the street. At seventy-three he can run ten miles in 75 minutes. At seventy-three he can sprint faster than the average youth of seventeen or nine teen.

From Committee on Public fnformation)
 Washington.-According to estimates based on an army of 100000 men, 37, 500 nurses will be needed. The pres ent strength of the army nurse corps of the medical department is about $500 To increase this number by nearly 1000 per cent in year is the task faced by the corps.
 Hospitals at army camps and canton ments still need nurses to bring the quota for each up to the minimum of 65 considered necessary, although since the urgent need for nurses was made public in December nearly 2000 requests for application blanks have been received.
 In order to get the enrollments up to the needed number some of the re- quirements heretofore imposed have been waived. According to estimates there are between S0,oO0 and 900o0 registered nurses in the country and about 100000 other graduate and prac- tical nurses.

AN ATTACK OF GRIP USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
 IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidemic of grip which has visited SO many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in run down condition, particularly the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urin- ary troubles which should not be neglect cd, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles Druggists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip.

SUFFRAGE BILL |S
 PASSED BY HOUSE
WOMEN WIN VICTORY IN LOWER BODY, 274 TO 136-BiLE NOW
 GOES TO THE SENATE.
WILSON WON FOR WOMEN
His Endorsement of Federal Amend. ment Came at Psychological Mo- ment-Many Southern Mem-
 bers Resented His Action.

Washington.-The woman suffrage constitutional amendment bill passed the House by a vote of 274 to 136 Only the bare two-thirds majority was obtained, Speaker Clark not vot- ing. Early action by the Senate is looked for A bill identical with that which the House passed is already on the Senate calendar.
 Galleries crowded with women burst into a salvo of applause such as the chamber has not heard in years. Speaker Clark made no effort to re- strain it.
 With President Wilson's indorse- ment having assured them success, sugrage tacticians spent the day can- vassing the Senate. Definite assur- ances were obtained of vote before February 12.
 Expectation Is that the same forces which carried the amendment to suc- cess in the House will repeat them selves in the upper branch of Con- gress, and that the amendment will be DCIOl lllC NdIiOuS lSS iSldtu1 LOl 1oS- ification within a month. Suffrage party headquarters calimed the meas ure would be part of the national constitution within two years.
 It was a day of triumph for Miss Jeannette Rankin, as she was acting floor leader for the Republicans fa- voring the amendment, and as such decided debate and assigned the time to be allowed to each one. On the deck before her was a bank of flow CTS. When she voted aye to the res olution galleries and floor rang with applause.
 President Wilson's last moment conversion to federal instead of state action came in for some bitter com ment by Southern congressman. Most caustic of all was Representative Clark of Florida, who said:
 q have seen some quick change artists. Pm something of one my self; but I can't keep up with that man.
 Throughout the day leaders among the Republicans and Democrats vied in claiming support for the measure. The Democrats arguments that Pres ident Wilson's influence proved the deciding factor here met with Re publican claims. that it was the pre- ponderating support among Republi- cans that induced his action They cited, too. the Republican caucus unanimous indorsement of the amend ment.
 Loudest applause in the day-long de bate was given Representative Decker of Missouri. After citing woman's work and sacrifice in the war, and re plying to arguments that women s votes would oppose it's victorious pros ecution, h" shoued
 'I'll tell you why women should be given hand now-because they have more courage, more grit, more sheer, determined bravery than men. The world knows it."
