md 22 as days on which relle'. Is to be given by America.
"Jee-nmalem!" said Billy. "Is It as bad as that? Say wait a mlmito." And Billy sat down at his
desk and dictated his first letter of recommendation. He recommended these victims of famine and deportation
to the sympathies and pocketbooks of lie people of America.
"There," be aaid, "deliver that to the O. S. U. And no . you fellows, net busy and come across."

u us tired. Anyone w ho has ever seen

liall evHiim'lisni knows Hint it iihihI take
ij;lit hours sleep, a good rub-down and
a Hear conscience to get away Iroui tne
I'ntigue that comes tn him every night.'
But he agreed to listen.
He did, and either the talker was a
Ucm1 one, or Billy's mind is one of those
1 but takes words and nickes pictures of
them, because, tired as he was he began
to do more than listen. Unconsciously
be went through a tew nf those fervent
gestures that he uses when he dares the
devil to come out and fight, and the
lines in his lean face set.
' Billy already knew the Armenians
nere in need almost everybody knows
that. But he bad not realized just how
badly in need they were until after he
Itnd finished his sermon in the Detroit
Inbernacle and was resting at the pa
latial home of 8. K. Kresge, a man came
to see him with the fresh story of their
sufferings and necessities.
"I get you," he interrupted. "It
never struck me so strong before- The
Armenians are in outlaw, company,
that "sit."
The big leagues have shirk their ap
plication a pigenhule.
' Let me see the records erorrs, as
sists, and exerythiug," he commanded.
Out of the interviewer's pocket came
letters from Armenia, from Lord Bryce
ml other investigators, figures telling
of the death of almost a million Chris
tians, massacred or deported, and fig
ures showing the contributions of more
than a million dollars by Americans for'
the relief of the million or more desti
tute Armeniuns who survive in the Ara
bian desert.
Billy looked at them all briefly. Ma
Sunday, wifely soul, was on his trail.
Billy had only one alternative.
"I can't read the whole official
score," he said, thrusting the letters
and pamphlets and figures back to his
interviewer, "You go through it, all of
it, for me, quick. Write me oTut a state
ment of the hits and plays and fouls and
all, and I'll sign it in a hurry. 'I'll put
Billy Sunday's assist somewhere in the
game before it's over. We've gotto
win this double header with Old Man
destitution."
So the interviewer went through all
the material hastily he knew it well al
ready and pounded out on a. borrowed
typewriter a statement for Billy to
V
sign, as nearly in the words he thought
Billy would like to use as he could get
Back he tramped to Billy's room, across
the thick Persian carpets covered with
the muddy prints of feet that had
trumped up the steps to get Billy 's mes
sage of salvation, across the spacious
reception rooms, where the same per
sons before him had left their track.
Billy was waiting. "Let me lamp
it," he said, and then he took a pencil
and made so' many alterations that lit
tle was left.
"No slang and baseball lingo in
this," said Billy. "I want every one,
high or low, rich and poor, to read this,
ami 1 don 't want them tu think it
came from me in any spirit of levity.
It 's got to be in parlor Knglish, as
good as nny Dr. Johnson ever spilled,
you understand f It's got to be the
gilt edged variety or none at all "
So out went all the slang and vivid
phrases a la Sunday. What he finally
wrote is being printed all over the
country today. What's more, Billy
is taking a collection in the tabernacle
in Detroit, the proceeds to go to Ar
menian and Syrian Belief.
"I never endorse anything that's
my rule" said Billy in conclusion. "But
once in a while I break mv rule anil
when 1 do say, I break it RIC.HT."
Most Tragic in History.
Nothing more tragic, in modern his
tory has occurred, according to Lord
Bryce, ruinous Knglish statesman, and
former Ambassador to the I'nited States
than the killing off of the Armeniuns.
Most of the story of butchery and out
rage has reached the public through let
ters from missionaries nnd survivors,
and cables to the state depnrtment from
Armenian consuls.
Less than two weeks ago the Turkish
governmeut opened up th interior dis

elevens neither of which has a chance
to win, if the statements of the rival
coaches are to be believed.
"I don't see how we have a show,"
said head Coach Andy Smith, of Cali

of Oregon, varied this remark only
slightly when he said, "I don't see haw

But despite the gobs of gloom which
both couches let loose, it was notice
able (lint enthusiastic students from
both schools seemed perfectly willing to
take a chance and risk a little coin of

Both teams were ileclnred to be in

although both showed considerable nerv

tho first interstate game in which either
eleven has engagejl this year. The con

Latest cablegrams revived from au

survivors are eating grass and dying at
the rate of thousands daily. Those who
escaped to Russian Armenia have been
distributed among the Armenian villag

A few also escaped to Egypt, and a few
thousand hillmen resisted the Turks
and Kurds until they were removed
from the coast near .Smyrna by French
cruisers.
According to Lord Bryce an American
investigator:
The deportation continued from April
until November last year. Kince then
tha survivors have rapidly decreased
by starvation and disease.
Men were led outside their villages
and shot or killed with axes.

Girls and women were killed outright
or taken to harems in Constantinople,
or turned over to the wild tribes.
Of one caravan of IjOIJ Armenians
500 were killed outright by the Turks.
Of 450 Armeniuns from one village

They say that the (limits have the
strongest team in the league outside of
pitchers. Hint is a good ileal like sav
ing they are the strongest club in the
league outside of u few other clubs. In
other words, it is equivalent to saying
nothing ut ull. At b'tist, one-hall' the
effectiveness of a club is in pitching
strength nlono.
V011 see a great deal about the weak
hitting of the Boston Braves and their
inferior base running, but you also -see
that they win -a good many games on a
one-run margin and are right up there
in the race. Close pitching is pretty
near the whole story in the latter part,
nf a race. And not only Boston, but
Philiidelphin and Brooklyn have close
pitching.
It is getting to bo about the most dif
ficult job in the world to w in a pennant.
Not. that it was ever easy, but it gets
hnrder all the time. Tlie competition is
keener and the manager is under a hea
vier strain. .
In the old days a club had only one ol
two extra players, and an outfieldet
might be on first huae und a pitcher in
the outfield when not otherwise occu
pied. But nowadays with tho abund
ance of substitutes it is a close prob
lem to win gunies. Pitchers urn't knock
ed out of the box uny more. Let u mau
start to show signs of distress and he is
promptly yanked for another. It takes
pretty nearly perfect pitching to get
by in the major leagues nowadays.
Why, I remember a game wheu 1 was
playing oil the Baltimore Orioles when
the-opposing club scored thirteen runs
off our pitcher in the first inning. We
wit nt eel to take him out, but ho suid
110, that he would settle down all right
ami we left him in. And he did settle
down. They didn't score any more
runs uud we finally won tho game by
a score of fourteen to thirteen. But
what chance would n pitcher have now-n-duys
to "settle down " ii they started
and scored thirteen runs ill the first in
ning I
It is simply on account of the keen
ness of competition and the iibuiidaiice
of playing material compared with the
standards of the old dins, that pennant
winning hns become hiii-Ij a tusk at pres

They don't have the free swinging

obi days. And there were just as good
hunters then us now. Butting hasn't
improved nay in my o(nion, and nei

to be many grent iudividuul players on
