 National League service figures, which show that 103 players were or are in the army, navy and aviation corps, probably will be matched soon by data from the American League.

Boston, Dec. 1S.-The sloop Reso- lrte, picked to defend the America s cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock's ". in 1914, will be found still in condition to defend the fla nous trophy if the latest challenge of Sir Tholas is accepted by the New York Yacht Club, in the opinion of Boston men who helped build her. The Resolute, which defeated the Vanitie in the trials to pick defend CT, was housed in st special structure at City Island near New Rochelle, af- ter the challenge races were called off OH account of the war. and care was taken to preserve her for future inter- national competition.
 Friends of Charles Francis Adams End, of this city, who handled the Resolute in her trial races, said today that he probably would take the helm again if called upon. Lieutenant Commander Robert w.

SPORTING NOTES.

Certainly the National League has reason for a justifiable pride in the service record of it's players. Not long ago the American Leaguers were batting themselves on their collective backs and exelaiming something of how brave boys are we But the American League has no reason for growing over the senior circuit in the respect of sending men into the serv- ice According to Acting President Heydler's figures, over 64 per cent. of the National League men entered the service-1G3 being the exact num- Der. Here's where the dope shows, however Of, this number. no less than 61 volunteered. leaving only 42 to be inducted through the dratt reg ulations. Surely when theres any boosting to be done the National League has right to do a bit of it on it's own hook.

Anti-CathoIic Lee
turer Ruled Out
Of Court

Annie Lowry, the noted ex-Nun and
nti-Catholic lecturer, lost her suit
against the Grand Lodge of the K. of
P. of Indiana in Judge Eubank's court
in Indianapolis last week.
The woman advertised an anti-Cath-
Ollie lecture in the K. of P. hall in this
city in April, 1917. The custodian of
the hall rented her the hall without
knowing the nature of her lecture, but
said he had to have the approval Of
the Board of Trustees. The woman
deposited $25 on account of the hall
rent: In the meantime the board dis
covered the nature of the lecturer and
the record of the woman, and refused
to allow her to have the hall as con-
sequence. The trustees offered to
give her back her money, but she re-
fused to take it and brought for $1,000
damages through M. L. Clawson, her
attorney. Watson and Easrey, of this
city, represented the Knights of Pyth.
las. Judge Eubank, in giving his de.
cision for the defendants, said the
trustees had the right to rent the hall
and no one else, and that they were
within their rights in refusing to rent
It TOR certain purposes.

Labor Party Supports Them.
The chief secretary for Ireland, Ed
ward Short, made a speech concilia-
tory in tone, but it did not conciliate
the Nationalist. They received the
warmest support from the Labor party,
whose spokesman, William Adamson,
member for West Fife, announced Mr..
Dillon's motion would receive its sup
port, the Labor party believing the
Irish question could be settled by a
generous measure of home rule and,
he added, the British people ought to
grant it now.
Mr.. Short said the government had
been compelled to take strong action
in Ireland because there was a COM
plete military system in southwest Ire
land, worked out with considerable
skill AMI knowledge. Instructions were
given, the secretary declared, as to
how to cut railways and destroy
bridges and communications, while ex-
plosives had been secretly imported.

Catholics Have Furnished
More Than Thier Quota
Continued from Page ~

Massachusetts 375 per cent of the
total population of those states. This
with the high percentage of volun
teers, justifies the statement of the
War Department that about IS pei
cent of the army is Catholic.
Statistics of the religious member
ship of the 353d Infantry, the all
Kansas regiment, have been given out
on the authority of Sergeant Adriance
He accounts for 2607 men, but as
sumes that the regimental strength
then was 5000; this would mean that
1877 per cent of this regiment is Cath
Ole, while statistics for 1917 show that
the Catholic population Of Kansas is
only ~ per cent. In other words,
Kansas Catholics comprising IL per
cent of the population, have given 1871
per cent, or nearly double their quota
to the army. In connection with these
statistics mention is made of the large
Methodist percentage, 29.4 per cent, in
the regiment. We should expect it, as
Kansas is one of the strongholds of
Methodism.
How account for this excess per-
centage both from the group of states
lie boys, anxious to serve their coun-
try, refused to seek deferred classifi-
cation? Has the moral restraints of
their faith made them better qualified
physically to pass the army examina-
ton?
Perhaps the American sin of race
suicide will partly explain this discre-
pancy in the proportion of Catholics
and nom Catholics in the draft. With
the exception of small selfish ele-
ment, Catholics are not tanned by
this crime against the laws of God and
of nature. The following hypothesis
will show why there should be a
larger proportion of Catholics in the
army Take community of 100 fam
lilies, 20, or one-fifth, of whom are
Catholics. The average non-Catholic
family has two children, while the
Catholic family has five children. This
means that there are ten nom Catholic
adults presumably free from the draft
and 100 children subject to draft. OF
the Catholic families there are 40
adults free from the draft and 100 chill
dren subject to draft, which is quite
possible in the ten-year period. The
result is that the Catholic families,
20 per cent of the population, will fur
nish 1876 per cent of the draft.
