A new home run king looms on the horizon. Due to the enforced inac- tivity of Babe Ruth. this new aspirant threatens to wrest the crown from Babes head. He is seemingly bent on even bettering the wonderful rec ord set by the Big Bambino last year.
 This latest sensation Is Kenneth Williams. slugging outdelder with the Browns. He is one of the men on whom the Brown fans are counting to carry their long down-trodden team to a pennant this year.
 Williams home-run cloutng isn't a mere flash in the pan He was tied with Bobie Meusel of the aYn- kees last year for the honor of rum ming second to the champion Babe. al- though there was quite gap between the Babes mark and those of Will Hams and MeuseL Ruth got fifty nine. The others grabbed twenty four apiece.
 This year Williams gave notice that he is after better record and even Babes scalp by facing out three hom- CTS in one game recently.
 Last year was Williams best sea- son in the big show. He hit BAT and played a brilliant game in the outfeld for Lee Foh1. He has been a 300 hitter, however, each year since he joined the Browns in 1919.

Dye Cure For Disease Is
 Explained

London, May 4.-Dye discoveries which are expected to revolutiontze the treatment of disease - some of them probably capable of immediate application were explained by Thomas Fairbrother and Dr. Arnold Renshaw, lecturer on pathology at Manchester University, to a distin- gulshed audience a the university.
 Infection is fought by injection into the blood certain dyes, which kill in fecting agents without harming the organs of the body. Till these dis coveries, it was stated, there was no curative agent apart from body re- sistance in 40 important diseases.
 Fairbrother dealt with the antisep- tic action of the coal-tar dyes. Re suits showed that certain classes had a greater or less tendency to anti septic action. Basic dyes, such as crystal violet and auramine. showed strong antiseptia action, whereas others, such as the patent blues, acid greens, turquoise blues and Victoria blues, showed very little action.
 Practical demonstrations of the action of dyes followed the lecture. Dr. Renshaw took from behind the ear of a man in the audience who had suffered from a West African fever called filareosis a drop of blood, picture of which was pro- jected on a screen. In the picture a worm could be seen moving about rapidly, and Dr. Renshaw explained how a dilution of the dye auramine injected into the blood instantly killed the worm.
