Race Track In
 Antwerp Laid. For Olympic.
By AmoeIated Prs.


 Antwerp, April 3.-The course for the Olmypic marathon race, the principal individual event of the Olympic games, has been officially selected and promises an excellent test for the long distance runners of the world
 The start of the race, provisionally set for August 21 or g, will be made from the Royal Palace at Loeken, just outside of Brussels, and the finish will be made in the Olympic stadium at Antwerp.
 The distance will be 26.56 miles, incud- ing the final laps over the stadium track proper.
 low a little used road from the palace for a few kilometers, making a detour which will bring them to the main highway be- tween Brussels and Antwerp. This road is almost as level as a table and leads through five or six vaIlages as well as the larger city of Malines. It was from this city that the Germans bombarded Anfwerp. The marathon runners, how ever, will not pass through the city of Malines proper, but will race along the boulevard surrounding the city which has been built over the ruins of Malines ancient Notifications.
 There is but one hill of not more than l per cent grade, near Malnes and this will surmount during the twenty-six and fraction mile race. The roadbed is of brick but dirt footpads parallel the road on both sides and these paths are broad enough for the runners to travel abreast.

TEX SEES BREAKERS
 A HEAD FOR DEMPSEY
Jack, With His Brawn, Will Have Dangerous Opponent
 in Georges Carpentier, With His Brain

Well" he went on, q really prefer 10 have them rush at me-"
 He said no moreno more was nec- essary. Those who heard the remark figured Carpentier has been working to perfect a defense for the rushing tactics.
 After the conference, Rickard admitted he was greatly impressed
 T won't say Carpenter can beat Dempsey he declared, but you have to hand it to him. He must be a master workman. l think he boxes after the fashion of the old school in this country, and you know those boys used to have an effective remedy for rushing Yes, Dempsey is going to have an argument on his hands when he meets this slender youth. Georges is brainy Sometimes it's hard for brawn to beat brains. It looks like the best card ever talked of in this country"
 Nate Lewis, Chicago promoter, who has seen Carpentier in action, gives the Frenchman credit for being as fast and almost as clever as Kid Mccoy in his palmiest days. Lewis adds that Demp- sey had better be careful And he says Dempsey cannot fight the Frenchman as he fought Willard-because he will nevef get away with it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-04-04

New York, April s.-(special)-- Georges Carpenter may be boasting a little when he says he believes he can stop Dempsey in six rounds, but it must be admitted that the French idol is not making his boasts without Knowing something of the Americans S style.
 Soon after Carpenter arrived in this heountry, he had a conference with Tex Rickard in the Hotel Biltmore Sev- eral of Richards friends were present. Carpenter, after an exchange of greet iugs inquired for details of Dempsey's fight with Willard. When Tex ex- plained how Dempsey rushed in and battered Champion Jess down, Carpen- tier smiled knowingly.
 Dempsey is a great rusher. t6Ay tell me" he said to Rickard
 pYes,' came back the promoter Jack has regular whfrlwind style and he never loafs a second.p Didn't Willard make any effort to stop those rushes?'' inquired the French man.
 If he did the spectators didn't see it., replied Rickard with a smile.
 Carpenter looked at the floor thoughtfully for half minute.

1 against a Red pitching staff that aver 1 aged i39, one of the most remarkable .av- 1 erages ever established by any group of twirlers in the history of the game. And,
 at the same time, Roush was batting against a staff that could pitch for only ] 402.
 Therefore, insist that Hornsby. who averaged .3lS for the entire year, even 1 though faced in twenty games by tho Reds .739 group of pitchers, was more wonderful batsman than Roush, who could hit only .S21, although he hit in
 twenty of his games a .402 gang of pitchers"
 ! When that fellow finished summing up
 his facts. the other man who had argued | in behalf of Roush was silent. For he, ] like many others, was about willing to concede that. when all things are reck- i oned. Hornsby, with BIS. accomplished
 more in a batting way than, Roush with | S2l
 But another discussion came about quickly:
 l How many points higher would Horns | by have hit had he been with the Reds 1 in 1919 instead of with the Cards? 1 In other words, what is the batting diff ' ference between being faved by .7s9 pitch ! ing and .402 pitching?'' I No one in that group was able to fur nish a real answer. Later the quizz
 was put to an old-time ball player. who 1 likes to delve into figures. After consid- erable figuring he opined: s''If Hornsby had been with the Reds | instead of the Cards in 1919 he would have hit around .340 instead of .3lS. And had Roush been with the Cards he woNl l have banged for about .305 up to .3OS." So it would seem that the ability of a batsman is to be measured in a large way by what team he is playing with, | and what sort of pitching he must face. and what sort he is saved from battling against.

RIFLE SCORES

The B A. c. rifle team pniled up a good score in the eighth match of the N. R. A. indoor matches This is especially welcome at this time. as the eighth match was a special match against santa Fe N M, and Haver- hill, Mass. The local club is shooting these two teams for medals, taking the totals of the last three matches and two more totals like this one will come pretty near to winning the matches. HaverhiIl is shooting unusu- ally we'll this year, being only a few points behind the local club so far. This weeks shoot was also a shoot off with the Boston team, with whom the local club tied in their match both teams making 993. This total of 9s4 ought to beat the Bostontes.

Ny JAMES J. CORBETT lM TOT so long ago heated argument llWl ensued between two fans over

q this.
 One contended that Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals. who hit SIS in 1919, estab- lished an infinitely greater batting record than Eddie Roush who won the leader ship of the league by banging .32l for the Reds
 Why. it's absurd to say that a man with .31S did better than man with S2l, declared the other. ."Figures speak for themselves. and they speak aito- gether in favor of Roush.
 The ldftheory that figures never lie is exploded in baseball. and in the Koush- Hornsby case in particular" was the re- tort And now I'm going to show you why Hornsby hitting .3lS for the Cards in 1S games made a greater batting mark than Roush of the Reds with .321.
 Who was the leading pitcher of the league? Luque-that's right-Luque of the Reds. with ten victories in thirteen starts for a769 average. Who was second? ? Reuther of the Reds, with nineieen wrns in twenty-five trials, for a mark of NO. And right behind him came Sallee. also of the Reds, with twentyone- triumphs in twenty-eight games, for a percentage of .7sc. Back of him was Fisher of the Reds with fourteen victories, five defeats and mark if .7S7. And Ho Eller of the Reds pitched for .679 mark.
 .'In other words the regular Redland pitching staff averaged .739.
 Now let's take the Cardinal pitching staff.
 Goodwin was really the topnotcher with eleven victories and nine defeats for 8 .550 mark Doak pitched for .4Sl. Schupp for AT, Tuero AT. Woodward for .s9l. Sherdell for .s57 and May for 200. That gave the Cardinals pitch ing staff with an average of .402.
 The Cardinals and Reds played so.-c- thing like twenty games against each other. And Roush and Hornsby figured in practically every contest. During every one of those games Hornsby went up
