A MILLION MORE FARMS

One bit OF pleasing news comes
from the census bureau. II is an
nouncement that the agricultural CEN
sus statistics will show an increase OF
about 100000 in the number OF
farms. The 1910 census listed ap-
proximately 100000 farms. Many
large farms have been divided during
the past ten years, and other new
farms have been created on land that
previously was uncuitivated. IL the
number OF farms has been increased
by million there are that many more
farmers
This tends 70 discredit the theory
that the large increase in urban pop
ulation has been secured mt the ex-
pense OF agricultural population IL
Is true that many farmers have left
their country homes and moved into
the villages and cities. and also true
that the sons and daughters OF farm
ers have shown a tendency TO locate
In the city Yet the fact remains that
the number OF farmers has increased.
so that there must have been a large
reverse movement-city people who
have gone back to the land" and tur-
ned their attention to agricultural
pursuits
The increase OF a million farms not
only indicates that agriculture Is not
being neglected but II shows that the
tendency is to decrease the size of
farms This, in turn. means that the
land will be more intensively cultiv-
ated, and that smaller proportion OF
acreage win be neglected and left un-
used II also means there will be less
need and call for additional farm help.
The farmer with small tract will be
able TO handle the necessary work
without assistance. except In rush
seasons. And IL finally means a 1ar-.A
er production and, probably. lower =
rices.

The American Society for the Con-
troll OF Cancer has felt it necessary to
issue another strong warning to the
general public to guard itself against
insiduous disease.
The society declares that between
$4,000 and 100000 now die in the Uni
ted States, in single year, from can
Ger; that the annual increase is 2 1-2
per cent and that deaths from this
disease are on the increase in every
civilized country on the globe. In
America II causes one death in every
10 after the age of 40.
a special effort is being made by
the society to make the public realize
that cancer in It's early stages is a
disease that can be eradicated. that a
large proportion OF deaths are thus
preventable and that every wise per-
son will consult physician the first
moment anything unusual is felt.
Cancer is very curious disease
which the cosiety's experts say. is due
to the running wild OF certain parts
OF the body tissue; for example. a few
cells in the breast or in the liver or
In some other organ rgow beyond the

Ing tissues; then comes the cancer.
This cancer often does not give any
notice OF its presence until a long
time after the trouble has begun, be-
cause the cells composing Il are the
same, or nearly the same, as the cells
from which they started, and there
ore, the body does not recognize the
act that a cancer is growing until ii
OF considerable size.
The origin OF cancer has been aptly
compared TO the situation in a family

INDIANS CLOSE
WITH LEADERS
IN TWIN CARD
HOLSTERS Make Last Effort to
Show Something Against
the Champs.
TWO HOME RUNS AGAIN

ST. PAUL, Aug. 1o.-Jack Hendricks
Indians made their last 1920 appearances
here this afternoon by engaging in
double header with the champion Saints
and, with two defeats handed them al
ready in the series. the Hoosiers were
desperately inclined to win today by any
means possible.
Jones and Cavet we're the probable
pitching choices for the Tribesmen, with
williams and Hall the likely Saint
chuckers.
Two home runs by the champions and
errors behind Jess Petty permitted the
Saints to grab the second game Of the
series yesterday, to 4. The Indians
were badly of in the field as their mis-
plays cSme with men on bases and
proved costly.
But when a team opposes the Saints
it must play air. tight baseball or see
itself slip. and that IS what happened
yesterday to the Tribe.
Hargrave and Haas were the home
run sluggers yesterday, both hosting
the ball over the short left field fence.
OF course the fence is not moved back
when the Indians bat, but 1t seems as
though visiting players have difficulty IN
finding the range.
Two Of Pettys four walks resulted
in runs. although it must be said that
Jess pitched a fair brand of ball against
the Champions. He was opposed by
Merritt, who was found rather consist
emily by the Hoosiers until his mates
gave him a lead, after which he tight
ened.
When the Indians scored a brace Of
markers in the fifth they looked like win
ners, but the Saints came right back and
scored three, knotting the count. Then
in the sixth Hargrave cracked out a
homer.
In the seventh Haas drove out cir.
cult clout, following the scoring OF
Boone on Reilley's error on Riggert's
drive, making it three more runs for the
Saints.
In the last meeting between the Saints
and Indians at indianapolis the Saints
won the first two games and the In
dams the last two, and Manager Hen
bricks was hoping today that his Tribes
men would repeat the stunt.

Large CrOlUd Sees
Clever Ring ShOlU
Staged at Speedway
SayI0r and Abel in Fast Ten
Round Feature on Sol

As proof that Indianapolis wants box
ing, approximately 5000 persons made
their way to the Speedway aviation depot
last night via touring car, street car and
army truck to witness the show staged
for the benefit of the Enlisted Mems
club.
The crowd was treated to one of the
most attractive shows that has been
staged in indianapolis for some time, the
card including a battle royal, several
bang bouts between soldier glove
artists and a clever round exhibition
between jake Abel, claimant of the
welterweight championship of the south,
and Milburn Saylor. local welter.
Abel, who has battled the best fighters
of his weight in the country, offered
pretty exhibition Of speed and cleverness
last night and out-classed Saylor in the
majority of rounds, but the Indianapolis
boxer was in there mixing things up all
the way and won several hearty ROUNDS
of applause for his willingness to go.
Saylor demonstrated his famous Kan
CARGO punch" at every opportunity and
there were times when things became in
teresting enough to bring the ringsiders
Tony Dalton of indianapolis stopped
Young Sweeney Of Peoria, III, in the
round bout. These boys travelled fast
clip until Sweeney dropped"

soldiers took the ring for battle
royal, which resulted in real funfest.
Two of these gladiators were Put to sleep
early. but Lieut.. Stewart had to call
things even among the remaining three
to get them out Of the ring after fifteen
minutes of fast action.
The results of the other events on the
card follow: Private Sendibald stopped

their scheduled three-round bout; Private
Hopper slipped Private Doffeni sleep

League Officials Act
to Prevers, Strike Move
Over Bean BALI Charge

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.--Oficials of or
ganized baseball today were planning to
prevent carrying out of the reported
threat of Boston and Detroit players to
take action in reprisal against Carl Mays.
Yankee pitcher, as a result of the death
of Ray Chapman, whose skull was frac-
tured by ball pitched by Mays.
Members of the Washington and st.
Louis teams of the American league were
also reported to be considering strike
in protest against Mays pitching. 1t was
believed the four protesting teams might
appeal to other American league clubs to
join in the threatened strike"
Mays was exonerated by local authorf-
ties when he told the district attorney s
office details of the accident to Chapman
which resulted in the shortstop's death.
Mays said he had pitched a fast straight
ball aimed for the inside of the plate
with no intention OF hitting the player.
He said he looked at the ball after the
accident and found that 1t was slightly
roughened on one side! He showed the
ball to the umpire, he said. and called
the umpire's attention TO the spot. He
said the roughening probably caused
Chapman's death. as 1t made the ball
sail" or take freakish jump which ths
man throwing or the batter watching
would not expect.

MAYS ASSERTS
DEATH THROW
ONLY ORDINARY
Did Not Aim at Chapman, He
Says, and Desires to Con-
vince Critics.
WILL REMAIN IN GAME
BY H. @. HAMILTON.
News Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Grief stricken
Carl Mays declared here today he will
face accusations that he is ''bean BALI
pitcher on the diamond.
The fact that Shortstop Ray Chapman
of Cleveland died from injuries he re.
ceived when struck by ball pitched by
Mays will not keep the Yankee star out
of the game. Mays, n college graduate
intelligent, made calm analysis of his
own case.
ANY man who believes a pitcher de-
liberately would throw a ball at an
others head in a ball game is foolish, >
Even If such thing were done it is
dlnlcult for me TO see how that pitcher
could believe be would hit the man at
whom he was aiming.
Il know. and so does any one who
gives the matter serious thought, that
poor chapman was killed :. because ne
didn't get out of the way of the hail
that was practically certain 20 hit him.
He crowded the plate. BY standing
close he made me pitch in a narrow
space. The ball that hit him was fast
one, not curve. A slight move would
have saved Chapman.
My grief over the accident is great.
but It Is something that could not be
helped, / intend to .emain In baseball
and show the fans that things which
have been said about me are either ma
licious or i'll advised"
Whether a new baseball war will de-
velop from the accident, probably will
become known today, when players of
the Detroit and Boston clubs discuss fur
Their their intimation that they would
ask Ban Johnson, president Of the Amer
lean league, to bar Mays from baseball.
It is known here that the New York
club will so the Hint to back Mays
against any action that may be taken.
Officials of the club are convinced that
Mays has been unusually unfortunate
and are not going 10 allow this incident
to force him from the game if they can
prevent.
Cleveland ball players, to a man, alb
solve Mays from blame. There are a few
who have taken the occasion to recall
that Mays has been charged in the past
with being a bean ball" pitcher, but
they admit and praise the fact that he
has done no pitching of that sort this
season.
Before leaving for Cleveland with Mrs.
Chapman ana the body Of the dead ath-
lete, iris Speaker. manager Of the Cleve-
land Indians, said he would try to pre-
vent any action in the Cleveland club
against Mays. He was expected to issue
statement in Cleveland.

Mays until he had more complete reports.
when informed Of the reported intention
OF the Boston and Detroit teams to ask
that the New York pitcher be banished
because Of the death Of Ray Chapman.
President Johnson said he knew Of no
way by which Owen Bush, shortstop OF
the Detroit team, could be transferred to
Cleveland, a procedure which Bush sug-
gested In Boston last night.

trades can be made between clubs" said
President johnson, and loan of d
player TO a pennant contender would
