SAM RICE HAS LONG LEAD OVER HIS
TEAM MATES in HITTING AVERAGES

Thanks to his fine batting streak
over thirteen consecutive games for
an average of .449, Sam Rice, the
Griffs' popular right fielder, now
finds himself up at the .344 mark.
He added forty-two points to his
total last week.
Rice is far and away ahead of the
next batsman on the Washington ros-

NEW INDUSTRY FOR U. $.

An industry new to Indianapolis
and the United Sites, the production
of medallion portraits or, as they are
sometime called, portraits on tile, IS
to be undertaken shortly at the plant
OF the Eucastic Tile Works, by JAW
Clark, formerly sales manager of the
company.
The reproduction of portraits on
tile is new to the United States, but
has been developed with success II
England. The process. he said, has
been developed by an Englishman,
George Cartilage.
Mr.. Clark, nearly two years. ago,
was given a leave of absence from
the company to go to Europe in Y. NJ.
c. A. work. He accompanied the
United States forces to England and
to Russia. While in England as the
guest of the manufacturers he be-
came interested in the work of Mr..
Cartilage. On his retdrn to America
la few weeks ago he arranged with the
tile works to produce this work.
Mr.. Cartilage, he said, was an artist
employed by the well-known Wedge
wood plant in England at Stoke-On-
Trent. Althoug his work has proved
popular. it has never beh put on the
business or paying basis which 1T
merits, Mr.. Clark said.
The process, according to Mr.. Clark
consists of the sculpturing on a steel
die by Mr.. Cartilage Of the portrait
that he desires to reproduce. The i'm
press from the die is then made on
a clay biscuit. which is burned.
The glaze is then poured over the
biscuit and it is again burned, the
heat averaging in both processes
about 1000 degrees.
The tones of the Portraits are
brought out by the depth fthe glaze
in filing out the impress made by the
die. and the mineral coloring matter
in the glaze is brought out in the
burning. Where the impress is deep
and the glaze thick the dark tones
are produced, and in the lighter i'm
pressions, where the glaze flows thin,
the lighter tones come out.
There is no transfer i'll the process,
Mr.. Clark said, and the operation that
has been the stumbling block to all
others except Mr.. CaBrlidge. is the
sculpturing of the steel die. Mr.. Cart
lidge, he said, has been developing
the work for about five years. Mr..
Clark has with him a number of por-
traits made by Mr.. Cartilage of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Lloyd George, Presi-
dent Wilson, General Pershing and
others in which the cledrness and col
or tones are regarded as remarkable.

Chambersburg Plans to
Reorganize Company c

Chambersburg, Pa, Nov. 10. -
Steps were taken for the reorganiza-
ton of Company G in the new Ma
tional Guard yesterday, when Colo
mel e. J. Stackpole, Jr., and Captain
Harry M. Stine came here to con-
fer with Captain Roy Kriechbaum.
A great deal of interest has been
manifested in the idea of another
Company c for Chambersburg and
a committee has been appointed by
the president of the Chamber of
Commerce, n. S. Bonbrake, to con-
fer with prominent citizens and the
military men with a view to securing
a proper armory to house the COM
pany.
Throughout Chambersburg the
feeling has been that the men who
served in the old company should
keep it going, and it is practically
certain that enlistments will be heav-
ier than can be handled. Captain
Kriechbaum and Lieutenant Zacha-
rias will handle the organization of
the new company.

100000 Building Is
Planned by Motor
Dealers Association

A convention hall, to cost approx
mately 100000, will be erected by
the Harrisburg Motor Dealers Asso-
citation. it has been announced by
George G. Mcfarland, president. A
plot of ground, 120 feet by 315. has
been purchased in South Cameron
street, near Berryhll, for the erection
of the hall. Stock in the proposed
new hall will be sold alone to dealers.
Plans for the building are olready
in the hands of local architects.
Plans at present provide for the
holding of one show, either in the
spring or in the summer, in
this building. The building will also
be available for other purposes,
dealers announce. The building, 1t
is expected, will be one of the largest
of the kind in sylvania.
At the present time it is the in
tention to build a three-story build
ing. There will be four storerooms
on the ground floor that will be
rented out for AUTOMOBILE purposes,
accessories, etc. These rooms will be
20xS0 feet. There will be a drive
alley all around the building and at
the rear of the storerooms. The EN-
tire building will be about ESQ feet
deep. The rear OF the building will
be used for garage and storage pur-
poses. The two upper floors will be
used for convention halls and will
include about $4,000 square feet.
This space is expected to provide
sufficient room for some wears to
come.
The work will be started as soon
as possible.
