STATE HARD AT WORK
ON HEALTH SEAL SALE

With large and small counties Of
Oklahoma surprisingly active in the
tuberculosis Christmas Seal sale,
reports reaching the offices Of the Ok.
lahoma Public Health association here
indicated that Oklahoma this year will
exceed its 2.S seals per capita record
of last year.
"The most remarkable feature of
the sale this year." said Jules Schevitx
general secretary Of the Oklahoma
Public Health association, and direc-
tor Of the sale, "is the fact that the
smaller towns and less populous coun-
ties are buying seals and health bonds
in larger quantities than ever before.
"Workers in the smaller places
have abandoned their regular jobs and
have gone out with the intention Of
selling at least 10 seals per capita.
II they continue to work for the next
week as hard as they have since Dec
ember 1, Oklahoma will exceed its
last years record by many dollars. "
Health bonds are selling wen in all
parts Of the state, Mr.. Schevitz re-
ports. Children are especially ac-
tive in selling seals. Boy scouts and
other juvenile organizations will be
hard at work up to Christmas day,
and those towns in which the sale
started last, it will be continued in
many instances until December Is.
In some towns and cities booths will
be put the post-offices during the holi-
day mailing season, These will be pre-.
sided over by pretty society girls and
matrons.

Paris Island, S. c., Dec.-The
rapid physical development of Marine
Corps recruits undergoing training
here is shown in a report made by the
naval medical officer, who recent
ly examined 118 recruits whose ages
averaged about 20 years.
On the date of enlistment each re-
cruit was given careful examination
covering height, weight and chest
development. Less than two months
later they were re-examined and it
was disclosed that the average gain
in height was nearly half an inch,

National League
Agrees TO Restore
act With Minors

Al special meeting Of the National
League, held yesterday in the Offices of
President John A. Heydler, West
Fortleth Street. it was voted unani-
mously to indorse the restoration of a
working agreement between the majo
and minor leagues.
The old working agreement, known
as the national agreement" or that
part Of it concerning relations be-
tween majors and minors, was abro-
gated two years ago at the request of
the minors, who objected to the draft
privileges enjoyed by the major league
clubs
At the joint meeting OF the two big
leagues in Chicago last February the
minors were promised a new working
agreement, but the matter has never
been attended to because of the fact
that August Herrmann's resignation
left the National Commission chair
manship vacant from that time Heyd-
Ter and Ban Johnson have been unable
to agree as to Herrmann's successor.
Heydler was urged to make another eff
fort with johnson to have this imnor-
tant Office He'd
The action of the National Commits
sion in disbarring all contract jump
ers from the major leagues was in
dorsed. League clubs were instructed
not to arrange exhibitions within minor
territory, except with consent of mi
nors affected.

at this time that the injury will keep
him out OF the game for any consid-

Exhibition Game To-day
The Yankees left tonight for Co.
lumbus, Ohio. to play an exhibition
game tomorrow. They return to the
Polo Grounds Friday for stay of
four days with the Red Sox as op-
delpha and Washington they return
to New York to meet the Western
clubs.
Their victory to- day was their tenth
OF the trip. They made a clean sweep
in Detroit and won three out of four
in Chicago. losing the last game of
their series there after it seemed to
oe won beyond all question. In Cleve
land they won only one out of four,
and here they scored two victories in
three starts.
Ruths homer to-day came in the
sixth inning, and was his fifth of the
trip. He averaged g home run to
every three games He made two in
Chicago and one in each of the De-
troit Cleveland and St. Louis series.
But his homer to-day was not the
full measure of his days work. He
singled in the first and fourth innings,
and then made his homer for his third
straight hit of the game. He raised
fly to the right field fence in the
eighth which was as long as it was
high, and Tobn lost the ball in the
sun, the hit going for two bases. In
the ninth the great slugger walked on
his last turn at bat.
Shawkey pitched brilliantly through
out the game, but loosened up a trife
after the Yanks gave him three-run
lead in the fourth. only to tighten up
when the Browns assumed threaten
ing attitude.
Three Strike-Outs at Start
Shockcr, on the other hand, was hit
freely in the pnches, and he was re-
placed in the eighth by Van Glider,
