Ruth Outdoes Star
 Fisherman Caster
By PETER r. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate

Hughey Fullerton, who has been 30 or 40 years--or maybe longer Ed Van Every, another baseball scribe, and Fred Fletcher, who knows all the fish by their first name--all con7 nected with the New York Evening Mail-ensaged in discussion some time ago as to whether a fisherman could cast a 4-ounce lead slug fur ther than baseball player could bat a baseball.
 Fletcher said that Harold Lentz, of ocean City, N. J., the worlds cham pion caster. could make 3 perfect cast further than Babe" Ruth could bat a baseball. Van Every wanted a lunacy commission appointed for Fletcher at once Fullerton being somewhat of fishing bug knew that a caster could get the weight out quite distance but he didn't think Lentz could get more distance with the weight than Ruth could get with the baseball
 Fletcher was insistent so it was arranged that Lentz should come to the EOlO STOuHuS Witu HiS pd6 oi tricks and show New Workers and others the mysteries of casting. A lot of people know more about cast ing today than they did before tor fully 10000 people were at the ball park at o'clock when Lentz came oh the field to try his skill.
 Ruth has a mark on the Polo grounds of 524 feet--which is about his best drive. The Babe" was con- tent to let this record stand. bentz was given five tries. His best cast was 440 feet. which we want to tell you is quite a cast in the face of a 35 mile wind I.entz made his first four casts to left centre and on the fifth try switched to right field. Ths cast was his best and when he saw that 1t was going out of the ball park he broke the linen thread and let .he weight go. It went over the elevated raiiway--a cast of possibly 560 feet, but as the line was broken there was no way to measure it. This, how ever, gives you an idea of how far an expert can cast.
 To do this casting Lentz used a regulation rod and casting wheel with a six foot silk bamboo tip and 3-foot hickory butt. The f-ounce weight travels about so feet a second and sinks into the ground to a depth of about inches.
 It isn't likely that baseball writ CTS will cast reflection upon sufe casters any more.
 I,entz has a worlds record of 46l feet 10 inches, but has exceeded oNo feet several times in practice.

ONL Y FIVE MATCHES
 COMPLETED SUNDA Y

old Jupiter Pluvius again got in some dirty work in the Alabama state tennis tourney which IS now being played at the local Country club. Only four doubles matches and one single affair were completed before the rain became so hard that play was discontinued.
 Warren and Bartlett played the iron man trick in winning four straight sets from two different duos. Wade and Skews were the first victims of their slashing attack, while Bradley and Stradley fell soon after. Yates and Stanford were the victors over Bell and Aderholt, com ing from behind and winning the last two sets to come off victors. Brewer and Allison defeated Martin and Mar tin in a hard and close match for the final doubles match of the day. Stradley defeated J. Yates in the sole single game which could be com pleted. The victor won in straight sets and showed very good form. Hay will be begun this morning, weather permitting, at 10 o'clock. It Is hoped that the work of old J. P. will not force another postponement of the matches.

 New York, September 4.-It scents long leap from early September to next January and from New Haven to Calpornia, but already there is q big effert being made to bring the football teams of the University of California and Yale together at the Carnival of Roses at Pasadena. Also it is learned that an arrangement Leland Stanford stadium would be received with rousing cheers by Pa cific coast residents It must be d consolation to Yale men to realize that their defeats of the last decade have not entirely wiped away thelr prestige
 In discussing the proposed arrange ment, one of the California football experts writes
 There is magic in that word Yale to us in California. We remember what an influence Yale had on the old teams of California and stanfo,d through Lee McClunR. Walter Camp. who gave stanford the great Yale system, and late Heffelfinger and Gill"
 Andy Had Hardships
 If d California Yale game were 10 take place, it would be d great In- tersectional contest. and ~Yale would need one of her old time teams to tackle, with any hope of success. the organization which Andy Smith has been building up at Berkeley for the last few years. Andy, had little luck when he went to the coast as a coach five or six years ago He had she disheartening task of teaching some men who had played Rugby how to play the American game and his ef forts were attended with no start ling success. His 1916 season ended with gloomy defeats by St. Mar ys ana Oregon. but all was forgiven this last year when his team showed such splendid work and overwhelmed Ohio State, the Middle West Confer ence champions, at Pasadena.
 Representative List
 Now, just word about the effect this high class football. team is hay ing upon attendance at the univer- sity. They had big football rally out there short time ago. and when they came to inquire into the prep schools of the men present, they found a wide sectional range.

DISORDER IN NEN
 SECTION REPORTED

Logan. September i.-The scene or disHlrbances in the southwestern tier of West Virginia counties shifted to sections to which govern ment forces were sent to Minso where renewed firing from the southern side of Tug river was re- ported. The location of the, latest reported disorder is the vicinity of Merrimac, according to Maj. Tom Davis of the state militia, who said there was continued firing there. A company of national guardsmen or 'ganized last week was on duty in that area, the major reported.
 Mlngo county volunteers, com manded by Captain Lawson and 4.ieut sidney Smith Major Davis said. are being sent back into Mingc from the Spruce Fork ridge region, to which they hurried when Logan county authorities last week ap- pealed for help.
 state. police under Capt. J. R. Brockus, also returned from Boone and Logan counties joining the forces under Major Davis.
 The major announced today that forces under his command had taken five prisoners since the disturbance broke out along the Kentucky line.
 By o'clock this afternoon the streets of Logan were virtually de- serted by the volunteers. who have been here since Friday. Most of them had come from adjoining coun- ties to cooperate with state forces and today they scattered to their homes for rest.
 Taking advantage of the quiet, of- ficials here have been attempting to compile an accurate list of casual ties. They predict, however that it will be some days before the task is completed.
 The bodies of three men, all mem bers of the armed bands that were opposing the state and county forces, are in Logan. while three others are in hospitals here suffering from gun shot wounds.
 Federal troops today encamped in Peachtree. two miles from Logan. Radio communication between the units here and the headquarters or Brig. Gen H. H Bartholtz at Charles ton has been established and off cers here said that official army communications would be trans mitted by this means.

CONTINUE TO SURRENDER,
 COMMANDER REPORTS

Washington, September 4.-west Virginia miners continued today to surrender to federal troops and turn in their arms. Brig. Gen. II. H. Band holtz, commanding, reported to the war department. He was perfecting arrangements, he said, with officials of the United Mine Workers to transport their union members from the invaded area as fast as they sur render.
 Everything indicates that the in- vaders will cease their activities, the general reported. ''as soon as they learn that federal forces are in their front"
 While war department officials re- fused to make public reports. giving the specific disposition of troops throughout the troubled districts. they said all troops had arrived and prob ably would take their stations today The b2lief was expressed that when disposition of the troops had been completed the armed bands would either surrender or disperse to their homes. thus assuring restoration of law and order.
 General Bandholtz also called the departments attention" to the slow movement by railroad of the Twenty sixth infantry from Camp Dix, N. J.
 Their arrival in West Virginia was delayed many hours by the transpor- tation companies Secretary Weeks said railroad officials had advised the department that the New Jersey troops could be detrained in West Virginia in about l. hours, while they were more than 80 hours In reachir.s the state. It was possible, depart ment officials said, that d formal complaint would be made to the rail- roads executives.
 After careful reading of reports, ,acretary Weeks said he would be surprised if occasion for firing sin gle shot was found by the soldiers, and expressed belief that theirs would be a purely peaceful occupation. He reiterated that publication of the proclamation of martial law depended entirely upon conditions as they pre- vail in the five counties where the troops were sent.
 Bombing Is Denied
 General Bandholtz took occasion today to officially deny reports that army airplanes had dropped bombs in West Virginia. ''The planes have noisance," he said. They have u
 The war department was without detailed reports of the crash of an army plane yesterday Advices re- ceived merely said tirat Major John son of the air service had sent out plane to xry to locate his missing plane."A to which General Bandhoitz added: T have no further informa- ton in regard to it,,
 The general talked over the tele-s phone. with the department earlier in the day. Afterward the following statement was issued relating to the conversations:
 Colonel Martin has reported that there was no disorder at Blair, but there was still some firing in the hills Cat 10:S0 a. m.) He reported the, miners were beginning to surrender to him; that he had already received 250 firearms with more coming in. He requested that arrangements be made for the quick exportation of those miners who had surrendered.

 The Barons are at present four full games behind the Pelicans in secon l place and nine and one-half tilt5 in the rear of the league leading Chicks It is hardly probable that the local crew will advance in the standing in it's crippled condition, and as there is not even the remotest possibility Of the Travellers creeping up from the rear il certainly looks like third pIace this year tor the Barons.
 Moley's Work Good
 The achievement of landing the locals in third place with the ma terlal on which he had to start and the hard luck encountered during the season is quite a feather in the Magic Clty pilots cap. With not real sure Class A man on his pitching staff and only two sureties in the 1ntleld, not to speak of two compara- lively rockies in the outer gardens at the start of the year. Moley has built up one of the best organlza- tions yet seen in Birmingham. Acci- dents to Taylor and Bernsen have wrecked several chances for advance lnent for the Barons and the feat of winning from the Chicks on thelr last visitS here, with d catcher on first base, substitute behind the bat and utility man at third marked the 1921 team as one of the nerviest yet turned out here.
 Men on Way Up
 With the departure of Pie" Tray nor to the faltering Pirates, began what should be the best year yet en- loved in sending. men up to the high e circuits. Several stars, including Claude Jonnard, who goes to the Giants, Hungling, High and Zahniser, on their'way soon to the Dodgers, ana Ike Boone, Leslie and Griffith, the Pelican triumvate, will be sure to go up tc the big top by the last ol the month.
 Among the local crew are several who are expected to get try-outs with the big timers. Stewart will probably get a chance to show his wares, as will also Spoke" Emery, in n~center. Bobby Gooch has shown by his consistent work behind the plate all season that he has the goods and should get a trial. Phil Morrison is expected to get a try out, as will probably Eberhard and Wheeler, who are considered the property of the Pirates.
 Pelicans Gain Some
 By taking a double header from the Lookouts, while the Vols were trimming the Chicks, the Pels gained one and half games on the Mem phians. The contest which the Vols took from Abbott's crew was the first game which they have won from the league leaders in Nashville this sea son and the last to be played there with the Chicks this year.
 Perrin Knocked Out
 Ernie Perrin, whom local ring art eists will remember as the winner of the heavyweight and light-heavy honors in the S. A. A. U. boxing tour siey held here this, spring, took the plunge into the professional gane in New Orleans last Friday night. He took on an old timer who goes by the cognomen of Russian Bear, and al- though he showed plenty of promise. could not last but two and a halt rounds. His weak place is apparently the jaw, as the first heavy blow the foreign bruin landed on Perrin's raclar cellar sent him down for the count

HALr-CENTURY PLANTS

By Science Serytce-
 There are no true century plants in the sense that it takes them 100 years to bloom A number of plants however, do not bloom until they hay elive dior a long term of years. The classic example of such plants is the talipot palm of India, which lives for 50 years or more and be- comes a tall tree before it blooms. After it has sent up it's immense flower stalk the whole plant dies. Our American century plants often fruit at che end of eight or ten years under natural condi itions, but in the house may refuse to bloom at all Many of the bamboos act like the century plants and bloom but once after a long period of vegetation. Such species are known as mcnocar- pic plants.

THAT FUNDING BILL

After what has seemed undue delay
the bill to provide for the funding of
the debts owed to us by foreign
countries has come out of the Senate
committee, somewhat changed from
what it was when it passed the House
several months ago.
AS now drafted it requires pay
ment Of not less than go interest and
maturity not later than 1947, and does
not give the latitude which many
deem necessary. 1t calls for a COM
mission of four to act with the Sec
rotary Of the treasury as chairman of
the commission. 1t provides that no
part of the debt shall be cancelled,
and public sentiment undoubtedly
supports that view but it is easy to
conceive of conditions under which it
might prove profitable to exercise
some power of discretion.
1t contains a provision to prevent
accepting one nations bonds for the
debt Of another nation, the purpose
being said to be the heading off an
attempt to unload Germanys bonds
en- us. All in all the measure will call
for skill If the funding may be done
under the'restrictions proposed.

Walter D. Thurber, announces a pro-
gram Of work which should command
attention. It. would make it possible
to have public health nurse in every

school child a health crusader: 1t
would sustain an educational cam
paign in every organization in the
state: would give state wide pub
LEFTY to needless causes of illness and
tell how to avoid or eradicate them
1t is an ambitious but an eminently
sensible program in that it would
make use. by cooperation, of ways
and means which lie at hand.
With such organizations as the AS
ISOLATED Industries and various influ-
entail declarations and associations,

FOR BOTH BILL AND JOHN

"Our John Smiths, our blind John
Smiths, our ignorant John Smiths,
our narrow John Smiths, our insular
John Smiths, who know nothing and
care nothing about the shipping BUSH
ness, should at least tax their brains
to learn and see the obvious-that
Bill Jones goods are their goods that
Bill Jones' prosperity is their pros
perity, that Bill Jones' adversely is
their adversely, and that unless Bill
Jones has an assured foreign trade,
which can only be insured through
American bottoms, Bill Jones will fail
to prosper. and in his failure John
Smith fails"
The above from a recent address Of
Chairman Lasker Of the Shipping
Board wildly places before the in
telligent resident Of the interior of
this country an idea which needs
Judgement in his immediate vicinity.
That part Of the country in which he
resides is interested, deeply interest,"
ed in disposing Of its products. I'm
less an annually increasing volume of
these goes into the export trade the
productive capacity will be impaired.
Those who ought to know claim
that experience has shown that ev-
cry country exporting any consider
able amount must be assured of per-
manent facilities for doing this In
order to be successful: that the only
way in which this regularity of COM
munication with foreign ports may be
assured is by means of an American
merchant marine. Moreover through
this medium closer touch with the
foreign demand can be maintained
than may he done in any other way.
In view of this it would seem that
the only question is regarding the
methods which may best aid to this
accomplishment.
