FIGURES QUITE INTERESTING
They Prove Consistent Ability and
Show Practically Same Men at
Top In Hitting.

Baseball figures are interesting In
more details than one. They prove
consistent ability. Year In and year
out, each set Of figures show prac-
tically the same men at the top In
hitting, fielding, and in pitching. writes

times it remains in the first flight a

When you find 1t staying there sew

One Final Pull Brought Him Through

One Final Pull Brought Him Through
a mile from the cave entrance, deep
In the bowels of the earth. An at.
tempt was made by park rangers to
pull him through the hole, but his cries
were so terrifying as the sharp stall
actites scarified the skin Of his lower
waist that his would-be rescuers were
forced to deSist.
"The superintendent was notified Of
Browns condition, and personally Wis.
tied the cave. After thorough exam.
nation 1t was determined that II
would either be necessary to blast him
out with T. N. T. or starve him until
his waist measurement was reduced
sufficiently to enable his passage
through Hell's Crack.
"Despite the indignation Of other
visitors, who were barred from the
beauties Of Organ Loft, the Frozen
Cascade, the Marble Chamber, etc., by
the rear portion of Brown, 1t was
thought better not to blast him out,
as undoubtedly some injury would re-
suit to the delicate formation Of thu
cave.
"By the end Of the third day his
waist measurement was reduced IAN
inches, and one final pull by two park
rangers brought him through the hole
minus his pants and some skin.
"All prospective visitors to the Crys-
tai Cave are now measured at the Ad.
ministration building at Giant Forest,
and those whose waist measurements
are over 32A inches are debarred from
the crystalline marvels Of Americas
most beautiful cavern"

QUEER TRICKS IN STANDING
Occupy Same Positions-Never
Happened Before.

The two major pennant races this
season have shown some queer tricks
In the standing. For instance, at one
stage In the final two weeks Of play
the oddly was presented Of each city
having a club in both leagues showing
the same standing for both. That Is
the two New York teams were first,
the two st. Louis teams, third, two
Boston teams fourth, two Chicago
teams seventh and two Philadelphia
teams In eighth place. That Is one
thing that never happened before.

HICKORY GOLF CLUB HANDLES
More Than 25,o0oo 900 Feet Of Timber
of Various Kinds Cut Yearly for
Sport Purposes.

Two million people swing golf clubs
every week In this country.
They own from 100000 to 49,
100000 drivers, putters, brassies, mid
irons, etc.
More than 25,000,000 feet of 80 diff
ferent kinds of wood are cut each year
for sport purposes.
Hickory is the best for golf-club
handles. Persimmon and dogwood
are the best for heads.
The wood used for golf clubs, ball
bats, tennis rackets, would build 8
whole street of cottages. But the In
vestment in wood for sports is wortl

COTTON MARKET
LOWER FOR WEEK
Political Situation in Europe Was
Main Factor Against Values.

NEW ORLEANS. March 6.-Price
changes in the cotton market last
week were narrower than usual and
the net results were losses of 80 to Al
points In the contract department,
May closing at 11.27. In the spot de-
partment middling lost 90 points In
the net results, closing at 11.00. The
political situation in Europe was the
main factor against values and 1t was
the cause OF small declines on the
closing session. At the highest OF the
week prices were to % points over
the close OF the preceding week and
at the lowest they were 81 10 SO points
under. The range of prices was rs to
80 points. May traded as high as 11.S5
and as low as 1887 the latter price
being a net low mark for the season.
A feature OF the week that attracted
a great deal of attention was the
statement on sales of fertilizers to the
first of March, issued by Secretary
Hester of the New Orleans cotton ex-
change. This was the first official in
formation to be had on the subject
and II disclosed the more unfavorable
state OF affairs than generally expect
ed. Figures from seven States showed
an average decrease of $3.50 per cent
An sales, compared with sales to the
Same date last year. The total of
sales was 524,959 tons against 1885,
TIA. There was a disposition IN some
quarters to claim that THE fertilizer
returns might be accepted as pointer
to the acreage to be planted this
spring.
This week the market, according to
oil indications, will be obliged to fol-
low political maneuvers abroad very
closely.
Aside from politics the trade will
watch tho weather over the belt more
closely, for considerable cotton is be-
ing planted in the earlier sections Of
Texas and preparations for planting
are being pushed in more southern
portions of other states. Favorable
weather might work against values in
a mild way but rains would delay work
and have the opposite effect on values.

BATTLE WITH

Attempt Made to Take Fellow Mem

SCOTTSBORO, Ala, March e.
What is believed to be the climax of
the northern Alabama night rider ac-
tivities occurred this afternoon when
band of about Is members of the
farm tenants union undertook to take
four of their fellow unionists from the
Stevenson Jail and engaged in a gun
battle with about $50 citizens and Of
ficers on the streets of Stevenson.
No one was killed or injured in the
battle but five of ~rescuing party
were captured and, together with the
four original prisoners, are now locked
up in the jail at Scottsboro. officers
who took part in the street battle
recognized the majority of the attack
ing forces and will tomorrow organize
a posse for the purpose of invading
the Fabius settlement, just across the
river from Stevenson, which is said
to be the stronghold of the night riders.
The farm tenants union has called
meeting for tomorrow at Scots
boro and will assist the officers in the
capture and conviction of the radical
element which has been responsible
for the outrages upon farmers who
have refused to join the organization.
The town of Stevenson is in a high
state of excitement and citizens were
armed tonight in preparation for a
possible raid of night riders.
Following the battle the officers in
charge of the prisoners decided that
the Stevenson jail was inadequate to
withstand an attack in force and the
nine men were taken to Scottsboro
and placed in the county Jail. A
heavy guard was summoned and the
officers were said to be ready for any
thing which might occur.
With the nine men brought to
Scottsboro today. the total number of
prisoners taken to date is II. Of this

OF u. S.
GAIN IN MEMBERS
(sy The Associated Press,

NEW YORK, March 6.-Churches of
the United States made a net gain Of
$4,000 new members in 1920 according
to census compiled by the Christian
Herald. made public today. DR. H x.
Carroll. of Planfield, N. J., who gathered
the statistics, said this was a marked
increase over 1919, when the aggregate
number of members gained was less than
A, 900.
DR.. Carroll said in 1919 decreases were
shown in the most of the churches. He
compared figures of some of the larger
groups showing that in 1919 the Metho-
dist group lost 1881; Presbyterian group
lost 46,459, and the Baptist group lost
II, 108. In 1920, these groups gained re-
spectively 1927: 43.031 and 1884, S3. The
three large Baptist bodies, he said, have
not yet completed their statistics and it
is believed that the actual figures will
show gain of more than 129. 600 in the
year. Baptisms in the Southern Baptist
have reached the unprecented figures of
165. 900 with churches, yet to be heard
from.
The Roman Catholic church showed a
somewhat smaller increase in 1920 of
127, $40. Doubtless when immigration sets
in again, it was pointed out, the in
crease will be greater.
