Elevator Boy of

New Orleans Squatter to Make
Big Effort to Soar TO

RY HENRY u. FARRELL.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-Pete Her
man. the squatty little New Orleans
Italian, IS the elevator boy Of the
ring.
His speciality is making trips up
and down from the top floor OF the
bantam building.
Right now Pete is after making
a trip down the dome. Thursday

in coaxing Johnny Buff back into
the ring his chances are excellent

the title three times.
Others have come back TO win a
title after once losing It but never
has the stunt been done twice.
Better Contender.
Possession Of the title seems TO
cast a spell over the little Italian.
He never fights as a champion like
he does as a contender.
Right after the war the ring
sages predicted his descent from
the top as soon as a good boy got
him inside the ropes for a decision
and Joe Lynch fulfilled the proph-
esy.
Then Herman started 10 fight He
topped a string Of successes 10y

The batting records of the two ma
jor leagues were badly shattered
during the 1921 campaign.
In 1920 the abolition OF all freak
deliveries. the spitbaIl excepted, en-
abled the batters to hang up some
new marks.
Tn 1921 the lively bali, plus the
inferior pitching that was on tap in
both major leagues, caused the bat
tiers 20 have a decided edge.
Back 90 years ago, a game wa
regarded as q slugfest if one of the
teams got i hits. Last season there
was many a game played i'm which
IS or more hits were made.
The making Of - hits excited lit
tie or no excitement last season. as
such games We're the ordinary run.
The batters certainly held the whip
hand last year. For years the an
nual cry during the winter months
has been for more hitting. Such
wall will be out OF the question
this winter.
The Pittsburg club. which finished
second in the National League, set
the record for both leagues with %
safe swats. In the game Of June
! 5, against Boston, the Pirates found
I five OF the Boston twirlers the east
est kind of picking.

League ran a close second to the

letics on September 10. Miller Hug

Famine Horrors.
Russian Peasants Dying on the Roads
 Children Sold Into Slavery

A letter received from Urbakh, in the Volga district, gives an appalling account of the famine. The follow ing quotations are taken from it, says the Reval correspondent of the Daily Mail.
 'Tens of thousands of peasants pass daily through Urbakh, Pokrov- sky, and Ekaterinenstadt, and the sight is to the last degree dreadful owing to the great number of dying and dead whom they leave in their track. These are attended to by nobody save the crows, vultures, and wloves, which crowd undistur- bed around corpses. All the dogs and cats have already been eaten.
 Persian merchants are buying the children, whom they are sending to Askabad. They give a higher price for the boys than even for the most luir-headed girls. .. Bands of robbers search the houses for any scrap of food that may be left and take even the last crust of bread from the children.
 We were visited by such a gang but luckily we had collected lot ct sulphuric acid which we had got from the factory, and this we sqnir- tea at every head that apperde0 above our garden wall. Consequent l'- we always drove them off, but our stock of sulphuric acid is now run ming low.
 Peasants Eat Their Children
 Some of the peasants even eat their own children. When reproached they say, Well, it's necessary to eat if we are to remain alive AS our own children are mparatively plump we are afraid to let them out side the door,
 Ostrogovsky, the Russian gyneco logist. says that Russian children will carry to their graves the marks of this dreadful time, just as an un balanced generation of Parisians were known as children of the Siege of Paris in 1870.
 Infant mortality in the first veal I of life in Russia has now reached the appalling total of 80 per cent Since q committee was formed il Moscow for picking up abandoned children the number of such chil dren has increased enormously, 2 per cent, of them coming from thu middle classes.
