Then came Carl Carter. The big
Cuban romped away to an early lead
and looked all over the winner. Then
Carl took 1t into his head to hold and
wrestle his man and the referee
chased him. Harry did not look so
good. No one can with Carter when
he decides to make a hugging match
out Of a fight.
In one of the preliminary bouts to
the DempseyTunney affair, Person
was thrown in with Sergt Jack
Adams of St. Louis. Adams came up
gamely after several knockdowns.
Jacks gameness was the feature of
the so-called contest. And MIR. Pers-
son failed to score a knockout.
Now, where the wise ones get the
idea Person can punch is a mystery.
1t stands to reason q fellow his size
and weight can deliver hard blow,
but he has to land 1t to do any serious
damage. Harry tried out his ponder
GUS blows Monday night against Bud
German and finally wound up by hit
ting below the danger line, several
times. He was disqualified.
Now If Tex Richards match
maker will only pit a good heavy
weight with Person, the chances are
he will sail for that dear old Sweden
very shortly after the fight.
Person is long way off before he
can hope to take Genes crown.

Cobb had 2.e3s runs to his credit at
the beginning of. this year and he will
have 2,086 when the record is brought
UP to date and includes the past sea-
son. That is an average OF 94 oil
runs per season for every season that
Cobb has played ball. 1t is a whale of
q record. Hans Wagner has the best
mark in the National League, with
1.740 runs in 81 years, but that can't
touch Ty's record for % years.
Ruth has made 1924 runs in IL
years. That Is 10 years short of
Cobbs career. Whether the Babe will
doubtful. Offhand. he doesn't look as
though he will put in nine years more
as he has put in the last IL.
Marvel of Ruth's Record.
Ruth's average to date is SO 2-3
runs per season. That is not as good
an average as Cobb's, but better than
Wagner's. But now for the marvel
that Ruth has chalked up. In his
first four years in the American
League he was d pitcher, from 1915
through 1918. In those four years he
did not go to bat most of the time
and was not sent to first base by
four called balls n great deal of the
time He only went IN as a pitcher in
the comparatively few games that he
played.
Ruth scored 66 runs in those four
years, which brings down the total for
his career to date. But in the years
beginning in 1919, during which he has
been at the top of his career, he has
scored 1854 runs per season, which
puts the averages of Cobb and Wag-
ner so far behind the engine that they
can hardly hear the whistle blowing.
An interesting point here is that
the big infant does not need to make
home runs in order to score. He gets
his runs whether they put him on first
with four passed balls or he puts the
ball over the fence. The intentional
pa have had a lot to do with help
Ing Ruth make his scoring record.
jacques Fournier, veteran first base
man Of. the Brooklyn club, has OBJ
tained his unconditional release at his
own request. He knows well that he
is through as big Lacquer. Though
he still is a hard hitter, he has slowed
up on the field and on the bases. He
started playing IS years ago.
There has been some talk that
Tournier would become manager of
the Boston Red SoX, succeeding Lee
Fohl, but it appears more likely that
he is headed for the minor leagues.
The prospect is that he will hook Mp
with Milton Stock, also a former
Brooklyn player, in the ownership of
the Mobile club of the Southern Asso-
citation. Stock became manager Of the
Mobile club after his release by Brook
lyn last Summer.

COST OF CHESAPEAKE SPAN

Will Furnish Full Information To the
State of Maryland At All Times
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Com
pany is ready to agree that full infor-
nation regarding costs of construc-
ton will be furnished state officials at
all times, w. Roscoe Bonsal, repre-
senting the group, said last week. The
company was incorporated Monday
under Maryland laws. It's purpose, if
the necessary permission is granted,
is to build bridge to cost $10,000,000
from a point near Bay Shore to
point in Kent county on the Eastern
Shore. Governor Ritchie, in state
ment approving the idea of bridge,
pointed out last week that the state
should have supervision over costs of
the proposed bridge, as the state at
some time may wish to exercise its
option to purchase the span at its APP
praised valuation. eve believe that
Governor Ritchie's suggestion is fair
and reasonable and we already had
contemplated asserting to an agree
ment to furnish the state full infor
nation about COSTS" Mr.. Bonsal as
serted. "In addition, we are willing
to allow the engineers of the State
Roads Commission to supervise our
plans and specifications, which would
be subject to their approval John
n. Mackall, chairman of the State
Roads Commission, said the plans of
the company as proposed to him had
met with his full approval and that he
was enthusiastically supporting the
project. Within few days the back
ers of the project will confer with the
Maryland delegation in Congress to
formulate plans to have a bill intro
! duced giving permission for the pro-
posed bridge. Mr.. Mackall pointed
out that he favored state construction
of short stretches of road leading
from highways already built to the
termini of the bridge. He did not be-
lieve his plan would be opposed.

Episcopal Bishops Summon Church
to Rene,U Militant Faith PLEDGES

'fWhy not give Christianity a
triaI?"
Leaders of the Episcopal Church
IN the United States who have
opened headquarters in Washing
ton for the nationwide Bishops
Crusade for a spiritual reawaken-
ing, which will be inaugurated early
in January, suggest this as remedy
for the present day conditions of
IA. difference to spiritual values, bad
blood between nations, crime waves,
divorce evils and so-called flaming
youth.
The suggestion is not flung out
helter-skelter-in a gesture at re
forming the world at once. For
This difficult task, the leaders aver,
the driving power and force of an
aroused Christian sentiment is need
ed, with renewed faith and zeal in
the cause. AS a beginning they
plan, through the Bishops Crusade,
70 summon the membership of the
Episcopal Church to a militant sense
of their duties and responsibilities
as church-members and citizens,
and sohdify their ranks for the
effort.
Washington advices tell of great
activity throughout the Episcopal
Church in preparation for the pro
posed Crusade, in which two hundred
bishops. priests and laymen and
women will 60 forth in groups Of
two and three to talk earnestly with
their fellow members in this sweep
ing effort for reawakening.
"Why have we fallen into a state
of apathy? Why does attendance
at service lag? Why, with all our
resources, does it take fifty persons
to add one member? Why do we
not all zealously strive to live up
to the obligations which we assumed
when we actively associated our
selves with the Church? Why do
we wonder at wars and disregard
nf all laws, the spread of material
ism and distortion of all values and
standards of life, when we know
each of us holds the remedy through
the setting of an example of right
living based on the doctrines we
profess to follow?"
These are some of the questions
that will be asked in the family
conferences of Episcopalians which,
during the Bishops Crusade, will be
conducted in every city, village and
hamlet in the United States. 1t is
q frank stock-taking of spiritual
resources that is proposed, in which
the bishops, spiritual leaders of the
communion, plan boldly to summon
