 This was the statement of an ex- pert mathematician who said he cnce was employed to figure out what ths average chance of a criminal being adequately punished. His task was similar to that of an auditor for an insurance company, who figures out the necessary premiums for fire, burglary, plate glass, tornado and other kinds of insurance to be ob- tained at fixed rates. For instance, there is an insurance company that will issue a policy against loss by for gerry of a bank check and another

The failure to punish criminals is costing every man, woman and child in the United States S$60 a year. It is a drain upon our resources of six thousand million dollars a year.

Under prevailing conditions there are SO many loop. holes to escape punishment that with a ratio of 1 1-4 per cent. of prison sentences actually enforced I think the criminal element is well within safe limits when it figures that to be punished by law is virtually impos- sible.

CHOICE OF LEAGUE
ALL THAT REMAINS
FOR RICHMOND CLUB

Plans for Improvement of Exhibi-
ton Park and arrangements for hir-
ing a league club for Richmond's
baseball fans next summer will be
discussed at a meeting of the base
ball directors to be held Thursday
evening in the Commercial club
rooms.
Some work is required to put the
baseball park and stands in condition
for the opening of the season, and 1t
Is planned to start this at once, to
give the team an opportunity to work
out regularly before the season opens.
Indications from other cities in the
circuits which have asked Richmond
to take franchise, point to strong
lndiana-Ohio circuit at the expense of
the Central league, if it is impossible
to bring the two factions together in
one strong circuit of eight or ten
clubs.
Muncie May Sign Up
Muncie baseball promoters had been
signed up with the Central league,
but word from that city says that the
expenses for the Michigan circuit
Tould be too great for Muncie to stand.
Muncie is willing, however, to enter
league playing daily games, and the
Indiana-Ohio circuit or combination
circuit would be considered favorable
there.
Ohio cities in the proposed circuit
All chatting over the delay, and are
anxious to get the league started.
Springfield and Lima are lined up
and ready to go. Fort Wayne has
everything ready to get the club and
open the season.
Richmond has the finances for a
league club, and it appears that the
league will start as soon as Richmond
promoters decide which way the club
will flop.

Dick Rudolph.


Dick Rudolph is the only member
Of that celebrated trio of Brave pitch
ers that helped humble the Great Ath.
letics back in 1914, who is still with
the Boston outfit. And, as the Braves
look now, Rudolph's about the most
dependable finger the shattered club
boasts.
Richard is a native of New York.
He was born August rs, 1889. His
pitching with Fordham college drew
the attention of big league scouts
He was tried out by the Rutland, Yer
mont, team in 1905 and during the
winter was signed by Toronto. He
starred there until the Giants grabbed
him off in 1910. The Giants sent him
to Providence, where he stayed until
sent to Boston in 1913. 1t was a case
of providence being kind to the Braves.
Rudolph quickly became a star and,
with James and Tyler, hurled the
Braves to the National league pennant
in 1914. In the world series that fall
the trio mentioned let the Athletics
down with four straight defeats.
Rudolph has a spitball well trained
but isn't Worrying over the abolition
of the wet delivery. He finished
eighth in the list of National league
pitchers last year in point of effective
ness, allowing only PIT earned runs
per game. He won 10 and lost Is
games for a club that finished sixth
turning in slightly better percent
age than his team did. 1t is an inter
esting fact that, while hurting effective
ball, he let go II wild pitches, being
tied with Woodward for the lead in
this department.

AMERICA KNOCKED
BY CARSON; HOUSE
PASSES IRISH BILL

LONDON, April 1.-The House Of
Commons passed the second reading
of the Irish home rule bill Wednesday.
The vote was 34S to "a.
Sir Edward Carson, Ulster Unionist
leader, was one of the first speakers
when the commons resumed considera-
ton of the bill. He declared that he
withheld to re-iterate his opposition to
the entire policy of home rule for Ire
land.
Sir Edward said that he never had
believed in it, and did not believe in
it now. He believed that it would be
disastrous to both Ireland and Eng
land.
The Ulster leader declared that he
deplored the fact that Ireland would
give up her representation in the Com
mons, because every injustice commot-
ted toward Ireland was inflicted before
the union, and not since, and none Of
them would have been possible with
the present representation of Ireland
in the imperial parliament.
Separation Only Alternative.
Sir Edward argued that there was
no alternative to the union, except
separation, and that under the bill, he
believed, lever was being given to
parliament's enemies in Ireland by
which, under the guise of constitution
al law, they might attain results which
would be absolutely fatal to the en-
pire.
Therefore, he said, he could take no
responsibility for the scheme. Sir Ed
ward declared he would not vote for
the bill, but would not do anything to
prevent the bill becoming a law.
Referring to the assassinations in
Ireland, Sir Edward asserted he did
not believe it was his own country
men who were involved in these as
sassinations. He believed that they
were committed by ill-conditioned men
from America, who had come back
here to carry on propaganda which
was going on in America, and which
the British public never took the
slightest trouble to answer.
