lection was mad, by Representative
of Coryell county.
Representative Bell. during the de-
e on the bill, bitterly opposed its

neetion with awarding of the text

to be swept off our feet. l do not
ht contract to be like a scrap of
Per-like a German treaty, if you
hse."
Bell pointed out that the House

Investigation is made, and no action
uld be taken on the bill until an in
legation has developed all the facts.
1t would also be voting for the re-
iation of a contract made by the

estigation if you are going to call
contracts off" His plea, however,

they could not conceive how report

Plans for Record Year to Be Made
 Saturday Evening

Chicago. Dec. 6.--Pans 10 out-strip in 1924 the record golf season just closed will he laid Saturday night at the annual meeting of the Western Golf association, comprised of more than 400 golf clubs scattered through out the country south of the Ohio river and west from Pittsburgh as far as Hawaii. All officers arc 10 be re- elected, including President O. Pfeil, of Memphis; Secretary John w, Busch. and Treasurer A. (. Allen of Chicago.
 The tournaments held in 1923 out shone any previous events and mem- bcr clubs increased more rapidly than ever before. especially in the south.
 While many golfers have for sew erni years demanded that the con trolling bodies of golf coalcsce and re- organize on a really national basis and thus be in n position, ia induce st. Andrews te modernize and simplify the rules, no scheme has yet been gn- ncunced for perfecting such a plan. Rumors have been eNtant for some time. however, that some attempt might be made at the annual meeting this year to start a revamping Of golt control in America.
 Whdther any action toward such T movement will be taken Saturday night, will likely be decided at a meeting Of the executive committee nf ,he W. G. A.. after President pfeil arrives in Chicago tomorrow.

New York, s,c. 6.-It is unusual Tor really gre athlete to last long. lie Works so hat that he wears out 6 lifetime or enersin brief space. Oc- casionally a maRomes up to the top who continues totar for a half dog en years; a rarit. appears and holds ms place Tor den years. but once u IS gwen any ma to observe a star athlete who can ontinue to shine through dozen al a half years.
 For instance-ofhe 400 players in the major league 1 years ago. only F are still in the aiors. One of these was out of thefame for d time, so that only II havtseryed continu- ously for the period c12 years. Thus one man in 40 is ableAo,hold his own for the brief space of1ayears.
 Of the approximately 50 players who were in the major eagues IS years ago. only one remals Since that time it is likely that loOo men have been in the majors on, to pass out. Which proves that this,ne man who has survived the acid tt of IS years of starring must be sole phy- sical miracle to be the sole suriyor of b,350 men.
 | This man is Ty Cobb. mana4r and fntcr fielder of the Tigers. He is 9ing in for another year of ;rcnu- ds athleting again next season and ppbably for season or two ,fter tht

Each Responsible for 13O
 Tallies-Heilmann, Bat
 ting King, Clouted in 115 Ruth Walked ITO Times.
Complied by Irwin NJ. Howe, Chicago.

Iris Speaker of Cleveland and George Ruth of New York sent more runners over the plate than any other pair in the American league during the season of 1923. The two are tied at 130 runs for which they were re- sponsible.
 Harry Heilman. of Detroit, and leader in batting brought in 115 while Joe Sewell of Cleveland sent in 109 and Waffle Pipp of New York los. Leon Goslin of Washington missed the century mark by one, being respons- ble for 99 tallies.
 Ruth set record for the American league by getting to first on base on balls ITO times. Encountering the con- centrated skill of the American league pitching it is natural that he should strike out as often as the majority and his record of 9S leads the next by eleven. William Kamm of Chicago, al- though not the swinger of the Ruth type. Tanned S2 times and drew 62 bases on balls to offset if,
 The one who baffled the pitchers the most was Eddie Collins Of Chica- 20 who only struck out eight times turing the season. The Chicago second sacker however, did not make his hits count for as much as others bat ting in only e runs. In this conncc- ton his sacrifice hits record in ad- vancing batters, and his walks must be taken into consideration.
 Among others whom the pitchers | with 12 strikeouts. Ty Cobb with ii, Edgar Rice Of Washington l2, Bassler and Jones of Detroit and Tobin of St. Louis with 1S each, and Speaker Of Cleveland with ,.
 Joe Sewell worried 9S passes out of the pitchers and Blue of Detroit, 96, these two being next to Ruth. Speak CT walked 9S times and Eddie Collins Si while Jamieson Of Cleveland was passed so times.
 Manush Of Detroit has a unique record by being hit by a pitched ball l7 times although he figured in only i09 games. Next to him was Stanley Harris Of Washington with i3 and Hauser Of Philadelphia and Mostil Of Chicago with F each.
 Cleveland as team had the best walters" with 633 basses on ball. Next comes Detroit with 596 while Washington and Chicago are tied with 5S2. New York figures fifth with 5s1 and then come Philadelphia, St. Louis and Boston, the latter with 39i.
 Philadelphia, with a number of hard swinging batters, compiled the biggest record in strikeouts with 5t7. New was only one behind. Cleveland and Detroit were the two hardest teams to pitch to. the former leading tn the fewcst number Of strikeouis with 3S4, Detroit having only one more.
 Detroit batters profited most by be- ing hit 55 times, getting in the way Of the ball during the season. Cleveland, closely competing with the Tygcrs in several departments Of the game. was next with 49. St. Louis had the feweBt number Of hit battors with 26. New York profitcd only to the extent of 3i.
