News In The World Of Sport

American women athletes hold 81 of
the 40 worlds records recognized by
the International Women's Sports
Federation for track and field events,
according to the official list issued in
Paris which has just reached athletic
authorities here.
Besides marking the first time that
so comprehensive a record of femi-
nine performances has just been put
on the athletic books, the list reflects
the rapid growth, especially in the
last year, of women's activity in track
and field sports. Twenty-nine of the
records were established in 1922, a
majority of these at the first women's
Olympic meet, held in Paris last Aug
ust and won by England with Ameri-
ca second.
CzechO-S lovakia Comes Second.
Czecho-S lovakia ranks next to the
United States in the numebr of indi-
viual and team record holders, with
ten. England has nine, France eight
and Finland one. Listed separately
by the Federation are five worlds rec
crds credited to German women ath-
letes, three of which represent better
performances than those recognized
en- the list which excludes Germany.
Three of the worlds records on the
Federation's list, which included per-
formances up to September 1, 1922,
have since been broken by American
stars in competition in this country, a
fact which observers cite as proof Of
the rapidly developing aptitude of
feminine contestants in track and field
sports.
Miss Camelia Sable, of Newark, N.
j.. one of the stars of the American
international team, broke two of the
marks lowering the 60-yard high hur-
die record from 9 to s As seconds and
making new distance of 8 feet ga
ii. for the standinsg broad jump, AZ
compared with the previous best
mark of ESQ meters (about 8 fit. 2 in.)
Miss Eleanor Churchill, of Exeter, N.
f., accounted for the other new record
by throwing a baseball 224 #. IN in
as compared with the old mark of
66.57 meters (about 218 ft.)
Reveals Points Of Superiority.
Analysis of the record list reveals
the superiority of American girls in
hurdle racing and jumping. Four OF
the five hurdle records and five of
six marks for broad and high jumps,
pole vaulting and hop, step and jump
are held by representatives of the
United States. England and France
hold majority of records for relays
and distance running while Czecho-
Slovakia, in Mile. B. Mejzlikova, pos
scsses holder of four sprint records.
Because most of the events have
been adapted to feminine competition,
few of the performances can be COM
pared with those made by men. The
women's standard for the 100 yard
dash is IL 3-5 seconds. In the high
jump, the women's records of LAG
meters (about #. 8 in.) is nearly
two feet less than the mans record Of
#. z 5-16 inches.

Curt Gordy, member of the 1922
base ball team in Pocomoke City, is
Lack at Washington College, where he
will graduate in June.
Curt is to be the leader of the bask-
ct ball quint this season; he has beer
elected Captain, and will probably be
seen at his old position-Centre.
Gordy is wonderful basket man.
His tall build adapts him for pumping
and there are few men he meets who
can reach higher than he can. He
generally manages to slap the ball
when he wants it, and time after time
will pull the ball behind him, then
grab it for a pass toward his enemy's
goal.
This sport started as girls game;
but it has rapidly developed that it is
considered by some to be the most
strenuous of all ball games. There is
something doing every minute; and so
constant is the exercise, that the
rules allow any side to call time for
rest.
The passing, doubling, and cage
shooting, when well done, make a
most interesting and exciting exer-
else to look upon; and there is often
more real excitement in the game
than in any other.
Many of the colleges and universe
ties have promoted it to the ranks of
a major college sport, and the con-
tests waged create as much interest
as foot ball or base ball.
The Maryland colleges, sure to be
represented this year, are Washing
ton, Mt. st. Mary's and Western Md.
The first named has always been
strong in that department of athlet-
les, and this last year they will be
stronger than ever. All the members
of the old team are back, and there
is wealth of new material from
which to draw. The team that beats
Washington out, will have to go
some, and many a stiff battle is ex-
pected.

A sure means of increasing egg pro-
duction by proper culling is given in
sn exhibit entitled "Make your poul-
try pay" shown by the United States
Department of Agriculture at the In
ternational Livestock Exposition, Chi
cago, Dec. to 9.
Two pens of live chickens were
shown. One lot of IL hens was not
culled, and ate in one year 900 pounds
of feed, costing $20.70. The IL hens
laid 100 dozen eggs during the year.
Contrasted with this lot is one of 8
hens which were culled, and which
laid the same number of eggs but ate
only 600 pounds of feed, at a cost of
$3.50. The lot Of IL hens that was
not culled ate 80 per cent more feed
than the lot that was culled and pro-
duced no more eggs. The extra cost
of feed, however, is but one of the
larger costs. Others are the extra
labor, extra housing room, and extra
capital invested.
To enable the poultryman to Gull his
hens properly the exhibit gives the
points to be looked for when determin-
ing a poor layer or good layer.
These points are quickly learned and
are means of increasing profits from
poultry.

When Carpenter, the French box
ing champion, came to this country, he
was heralded as the most gentlemanly
representation of the ring the world
ever saw. His only competitor in this
country was Gentleman Jim Corbett,
who had somewhat similar a reputa-
ton. But when man becomes a
prize fighter, he seems to level him.
self with the fraternity, and becomes
rs they are.
With all his Wanted refinement and
elegancy, he is now accused of a
frame up" with the Senegales negro
champion. The latter was to stall thru
three rounds and feign knock out
in the fourth.
Of course, as yet, there is no con-
firmation of the charge, neither has
there been any denial of it. But if it
should be true, it will spell the finish
o. the Frenchman. The public will not
stand for any crookedness in sport,
altho' they are frequently gulled. But
vixen the murder comes out, then
there is an end to the career of the
athlete.
Carpenter was we'll liked in this
country, and it is to be hoped he may
he able to disprove the charge.

OLD BIBLE To
Be SHOWN HERE
First Published in N. Y. State
Historical Society Meets
Friday Night

When the Perth Amboy Historical
Society meets on Friday night in the
auditorium of the public library
there will be on exhibition a, copy of
the first Bible published in New York
state. This book was recently un-
earthed by George L. Guinand at
Metuchen and Is now in his possess
sion. 1t measures ten by sixteen and
one-half inches and is wonderfully
preserved, the steel engravings,
printing and paper being in excellent
condition, although the book is 100
years old. It was originally the
property of Lewis Berry.
The Bible is of particular, interest
to the people of this city as the
f~rontispiece was engraved on steel
by Williar Dunlap, one Of the great
est painters and engrayers Of that
time, who resided IN thi. CITY and
whose remains now Lie in st. Peters
church yard here. The Bible was
edited by Rev. John Brown, a min
lister of the gospel at Haddington, N.
z, and was known as Browns fam
lily Bible. It was printed by Hodge
& Campbell and was on the presses
for q period OF two years.
Besides the engraving by Dunlap,
there are'twenty full page engravings
on copper plates by A. Goodwin, C.
Taebout. Mavarich, Robinson, Doo-
little and A. Anderson. The first
printing consisted of forty numbers
the first Of which appeared in the
spring OF 1890. The Bible at that
time was evidently sold exclusively
to subscribers. as q list appears in
the rear Of the volume containing
the names Of the first subscribers.
This list is headed by George Wash
ington, Esq, president of the United
States. There are forty-two sub
scribers on the list. The volume was
published six years after the war.
In the family record, the Bible con-
tains several marriages and deaths.
The first Of the marriages recorded
is:
Lewis Berry, married to Elizabeth
Wells, January %, 1902"
The first death listed is:
Jane Harriott, died on the 18th
day Of October, 1918, in the seven
teenth year Of her age"
The emblematic frontispiece ss
designed by Dunlay. represents Am
erica with the Constitution in her
hand, receiving the Bible. The God
dess Of Liberty on one side; behind
america a pedestal with the names
of Washington. Montgomery, Greene,
Franklin. Warren, Adams, Mercer,

Among other matters of interest to
the Historical Society at the meeting
on Friday night, will be the pro-
gress that is being made in the re-
moval of the Kearny cottage to it's
new location in Hayes Park.
