BIRTH RATE IS
ON INCREASE IN
NEW YORK CITY

New York, Sept. despite the
high cost. of living, shortage Of hous
ing and the scarcity Of domestic
servants, the actual birth rate in
New York City is going UP at a rapid
rate. according to health authorities
statistics issued here.
The figures show that the birth
rate per thousand for the first seven
months of 1920 was 22.34, against
the rate of 21.90 in the same period
last year.
While the birth rate is on the in
crease, the health departments sta
tistfcs show, that the death rate of
children in the city is on the decline
The rate of infant mortality for the
past wear on each 1000 births was
SO, while the preceding years much
higher figure is on the records. -
The decline in death rate is at
tributed. by the authorities to the
laws of sanitation of healthful liv-
ing, which are now better under
stood by the mass of the people.

AMERICANS LEADING.

The yearly figures on recruiting
just issued by the Marine Corps con-
tain some interesting data on nation
ality. OF the 10.307 men accepted by
the sea soldiers in the last IL months
the Americana orn totalled "a per
cent. Six foreign nationalities are
represented by a lone Marine, namely
Armenia, Australia. Colombia. Cuba
Mexico and Venezuela. Each of these,
as with all the foreign born in this
branch of the service, has either be-
come naturahzed or has taken his
first papers.
It cost the Marine Corps $61.16 for
each man who Joined the colors. and
the total percentage of assertions was
but 1856. Forty per cent. of the men
accepted re-enlisted from the army,

Plans Big Benefit
For Pitcher Adams
Owner Weiss Suggests Championship Club Play An ALL
Star Team On September Is for Big Bill''
Adams Who Is Seriously Ill

That George Weiss, owner of the
New Haven Indians, is a true sports
man, is shown in his suggestion yes
terday that the cham pionship team of
the Eastern league play an all-Star
aggregation, picked from the league
for a, benefit for Pitcher Big Bill
Adams, the Hartford twir1er, who is
in serious condition at his home
on Buckingham street in Hartford. It
is likely that New Haven will be the
championship team because they
have a four game lead and this
seems impossible to cut down at this
time
The plan was brought up in Hart
ford yesterday and Manager Dan
Howley fell in with the suggestion.
The game will be played on Sept.
IS and up Hartford way they are
figuring on Ray Grimes of the
Bridgeport club to play first base,
but as he is out of the game for the
season it is likely another choice will
have to be made. sF ...s-. -s,.zs-4 ?
They are now talking of the all
star team to be made up of Penning-
ton, pitcher; Howley, catcher; Silva,
Ray CRIMES, Neher and Armstro ng
as the infie1ders, Cosgrove, Bailey
and HARDER in the outfeld-
Members of the committee in
charge of the plan held a meeting
this noon in Hartford and everything
will be done to make HBig Bill'
Adams own day a great success.
Adams is the pitcher whom a ply
sician told several weeks ago to never
pitch again. He Immediately drop
ped the game and since then has
been in a serious condition.

EXPECT APOLOGY
IN KIRKSEY- CASE
California Splinter Took
Carbine From Guard,
Looked Into Barrel and
Laughed.

Antwerp, Belgium, Sept 1.-The Bel
GUM Olympic Committee yesterday
took steps to offer AN apology to Nor
RS M. KirkSey, the Californian
Splinter, who was brutality assaulted
by gendarmes when he tried to enter
the dressing rooms at the Stadium on
Monday last In his expla nation about
the affair Kirksey says that when the
guard first halted him he thought it
was merely a. misunderstanding and
tried to pass on A few seconds later
several gendarmeS armed with car
bines rushed after him. 81 playfuIly
took one of the guns Kirksey add
ed, looked into the barrel and
laughed This made the gendaTne
mad and he squared off as if to hit
me.
ct stepped back and squared off.
Then they all jumped on me and
knocked me out by blow ON the ribs
with a carbine. I never hit them
though admit was wrong in not
stopping at first Surely there was
no need for a brutal attack or for ar
resting or Handwriting me-
Kirksey's wrist was cut by the hia nd
cuffs. Paddock, together with Robert
LIE Gendre of Georgetown University
who speaks French, went to the. police
station and procured the release of
Kirksey- Col Arnold Strode-Jackson,
Olympic champion for $500 meters,
with essed the ASA Tlt Kirksey and
rushed to find the American commit
teemen, who were at that moment in
front of King Albert as he presented
the Olympic prizes. Col. jackson at
once enlisted the aid of several news
paper men, and went to the station to
find that Eirksey had been released
Col Jackson said the assault WAS I'M
warranted, and expressed a desire to
appear as a witness for Kirlcsey.

Ray Crimes the hard hitting first
baseman of the Bridgeport club, is out
of the game for the remainder OF the
season with a broken bone in his left
wrist sustained in an Albany game,
but the discovery of the break was
not made until yesterday when an *
ray photograph showed up the trou-
Bile which caused the first baseman
considerable pain during the past
week.
Grimes batting will be missed con-
siderably by the Americans for his
war club has done more to keep the
Walshmen up there fighting than any
thing else and his work as director of
the team on the field has also been
one of the reasons why the club has
been near the top instead of near the
bottom as some of the followers of
the game have predicted. Grimes
was the captain of the team and his
loss at this time is hard blow when
the Americans. out of the fight for
the pennant, were hopeful of landing
in second place.
Now their chances seem to be con-
siderably DINNER. Grimes batted for
1876, having punched out 155 hits, 20
doubles. IA triples and two homers
during the season out of 424 trips to
feared hitters in the circuit and op-.
posing pitchers never took a chance
with him wnen there were runners on
the bases.
Because of Grimes injury the team
was shifted around yesterday with
Bill Slziff in right field, Kenneth
Grimes at first base and Musser did
the catching. Skin was supposed to
have been on the sick list, but he was
out there in right field all the time
yesterday.
Worcester didn't have a chance
against Pitcher House yesterday. He
was working like a well oiled watch
all the time. and the best they could
do off his delivery was to Gull four
scattered hits which by no means
were dangerous. Because Of Houses
pitching Bridgeport won the game,
3 to 0.
Kenneth Grimes came through in
the fifth inning with a hit which
scored Skiff for the first run of the
game. Bracket came up in the sixth
with Iai on base and unpled, sending
Iai home with the second run and
Bracket scored himself later when St
Angelo n11ffed a high fly sent to left
field. The score:

Rain stopped a pitchers battle in
Hartford yesterday between Hartford
and Springfield. Neither team were
able to collect a run in six innings.
Bridgeport crept up on Worcester
yesterday and strengthened its
chances to gain first place when New
Haven didn't play.

much like New Haven as the pennant
winner they still have plenty of work
to do rr ~ ~ :1Ns5

The above figures show Bridgeport
ranks high and the games with Pitts
field today may put them on an even
basis as far as their own series is ta1,-
ulated, but from the present outlook
both the, Worcester and Bridgeport
teams are out Of the running for the
pennant and the race now settles
down between Bridgeport and Worces-
ter for second place as the champion
ship is practically conceded to New
Haven.
With Ray Grimes out of the game it
begins to look as though the Ameri-
cans will finish in third place just as
predicted in these columns several
nights ago.
