PHILADELPHIA, July 3First
Of three-day carnival, possibly
as pretentious as any the Amateur
Athletic Union has sponsored. the
National junior ampionships in
track and field viii set under way
this afternoon at the Sesquicen-
tennial Stadium with q lot Of first
class athletes laying their reputa-
tions right on the line
The junior games might lack the
international flavor Of the senior
championships on Monday and the
popular appeal Of the decathlon
and relay championships Of The
following day but they fairly
bristled with talent and the pos
sibility existed that more than one
junior performance might prove q
trifle beyond the corresponding eff
fort Of the senior field.
Touching on and appertaining to
this thought there was the entry

Moody made a fine showing for

RITTH'S EYE
On DOUGH

Mr.. Babe Ruth, pursuing the even
tenor OF his way through the by.
paths and alleys Of Ban Johnscn's
circuit, is an avowed candidate for
reelection to the $4,000 society this
fall.
The announcement was made
here today by the Babes campaign
managers, thereby setting at rest >
rather persistent runaor that the
Babe would under no circumstances
accept the nomination to succeed
himself.
His platform, OF course, is made III
advance. 1t consists of three planks,
already drawn and approved. as fol
lows:
First Bigger and better home
runs.
secpnd-More fast balls for FREQ
swinging hitters.
Third--Strict box.office count and
free baseballs for perennial bleach
critics.
"Our candidate is In excellent
condition and expects to win by
o knockout, announced the Ruth
ian campaign committee today.
"Of course the election viii not
be entirely one-sided," they hastenesl
to. add. Cousin Ed Barrow. who
is looked upon as the Babes chief
est opponent, is not the sort of
man to give up $4,000 without a
struggle. Even thin dime Is food
for argument under Mr.. Barrow's
political precepts. But you can't
deny public demand-and our cam.
paign viii be directed toward the
common people. Our candidate
at the end. will rest his case IN.
tirely with the fans.

But what / started out to say
was that / believe the fast ball,

Most of the greatest pitchers were

their fast bail that they used m
the pinches. Take RUDE Wadden
: and Walter johnson. and Bill Don.

great fast ball along with his

some Of the boys on the club
were discussing whether Pennc"k
or Grove vas the greatest pitcher.
You can't compare two pitchers
like that. They're entirely differ
nrt. Grove depends on speed and
n fast curve. Pennock Is curve
ball pitcher, who depends on con-
troll. Grove gets by through sheer
strength. Pennock is cagey and
wise. Grove has more stuff than
Herbie. No doubt about that. But

against a lot OF fast-ball pitchers.
Walter johnson, at the time

year or two after. was the fastest

ship shoot a few past them.
They'd soon find out.

By Ross L. Conklin

Tony sylvester, Congressional
Country Clubs rotund spaghetti-eat-
ing assistant professional. IL the
nroudest man In the universeaIld
for two good reasons. Saturday
Tony took unto himself wife, for
reason No. /. and the added cause
for Tony's ioyousness lies in the fact
that Bobby Jones won the British
open championship with clubs made
by him.
tecanle fast friends, and the Congress
sional club maker made up an entire
SET Of clubs for the Atlanta wizard.
Rohby has been shooting fine golf
with those clubs, and Tony is now
one Of the few who can lay claim 10
having made up the clubs that won
the worlds most coveted golf titlc.
Tony made up the woods and
irons last winter in Atlanta and
when Bobby came through here
he had Sylvester tune them mp Hor
him.
Walter Hagen, who finished in
tie with George Won Elm. Tor thlro
place, had wood clubs that Tony
made for him. Indeed. for the first
few weeks the chunky little fellow
was here he was busy making UP
sets OF clubs for Walter. Tommy
Armour, Of: course, had his entire
set made by Tony, and Tommy I'm
tshed 10TH.
Just to give Tony an added reason
to grin, Bill Mehlhorn, who was
running neck and neck for the TUE
for the first three rounds. had Syl-
yester clubs. Bill had every CLUB
in his bag made by the Congressional
professional.
CyriI Walker. who came from
behind in the last stages OF the
british omen. to finish well up
with the Leaders. also had T0"v'S
wood clubs. Walker is noted as
a club maker, and il was quite
a compliment to have Tony make
up his sticks.
Leo Diegel, who gets clubs from
all over the world, is another for
whom Tony has labored at his
bench.
In a way, the club maker is
somewhat responsible for the show
ing made by his customers. Jones
shot excellent golf to win, but he
had to have clubs that suited him
or he would not have gone up.
Hagen, who was expected to keep
up his first days pace and come
back with the title, has conlph-
'nented Tony on the quality OF his
clubs.

BUFFALO. n. Y, February It Up.
The Buffalo Evening Post, formerly
the Buffa o Commercial, yesterday sus.
pended publication after having been
issued continuously for ia years.
Ownership of the property reverted
from the Coley Publishing Co to
Charles A. Finnegan, who announced
he was negotiating a sale to a new
syndicate.
In recent months the Post has been
published as a financial daily. The
first issue of the Gazette, predecessor
of the Commercial, appeared October
B. 1911, as a weekly. Although Buff
falo was almost on the firing line
during the War of 1912. publication
was continued without interruption,
but the plant was moved several times.
The Gazette was given credit for
having the final 'e" dropped from

days. This was achieved after a
spirited campaign.

Dr.. Barnes of London Advo-
Gates Repressive Measures
for Degenerates.

LONDON, February 17.-Rev. DR..
E. W. Barnes, Bishop of Birmingham,
made an outspoken declaration last
night in advocation of repressive
measures against breeding of the un-
fit. Such repression, he maintains,
would be "in accordance with the pla
by which God has brought humanity
thus far on its road"
The occasion for the address was a
meeting of the Eugenics Educational
Society. The bishop contended that
the socially unfit were an impediment
to the creation of what Christians
termed the kingdom Of God on earth,
and that when religious people real
lied this truth their objections to re-
pressive action against degenerates
would cease.
Strong arguments could be submit
ted. the bishop declared, for the
sterilization of mental detectives, but
religious sentiment was opposed to it.
This opposition, however, might not
be permanent.
