organizations, will be continued
whether a tax has to be paid on
the free tickets given the boys
or not. On the basis of attend

figured the tax, if imposed, will
amount to about $4,000. The

its treasury if the internal rev.

It is often said of Ray Chapman,
star shortstop of the Cleveland Indians.
that he is one of the most scientific
hitters in baseball The fact that the
Cleveland meteor is also long-dis-
tance clouter of parts is generally over
looked.
Last season Chapman led the Amer
jean league in sacrifice hitting. But
in addition to this, Ray batted 302,
driving ont 10 hits for p total of Isl
bases. In total bases the shortstop
tied Joe Jackson, the Chicago slugger.
Chapman drove out IS doubles. u
triples and three home runs, in 1917.
This is quite sufficient proof that in
addition to hitting science he has the
drive in his blows.
