GrAwEXPECTS TO FACE CHARGE BEFORE HIGH CHURCH In Yesterday's sermon he fad ed to retract one word he Said “JESUS CHRIST WAS PERFECTLY HUMAN” (By Associated Brea) NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—Reverend Percy Strickney Grant, rector of tht Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension, expects to be tried for heresy. He declined however to in dicate when he would make a for* mal reply to the ultimatum of bish op William T. Manning, that he eith er recant his pulpit utterances “Jes us did not have power of God” or resign, saying in his sermon yester day in which he reiterated that Christ was human while on earth, and was not possessed of miracul ous powers, should not be construed as his reply to bishops. Speaking from the pulpit of the Fifth avenue church in which he has been rector for 30 years, Dr. Grant failed to retract a single one of the statements which caused Bishop Manning’s action and led churchmen to discuss the probability of a trial for heresy. Instead of retracting, Dr. Grant repeated. “Your Bon comes Home from col lege.” Dr. Grant said in closing. “You say ‘son let’s go to church, do you want your sQn to reply, ‘father don’t ask me to listen to all that bunk?”’ “Jesus Christ was perfectly hu man”, he explained in affirming his doctrine concerning Christ’s life “Whatever we say of Him must be in accord with His humanity. 1 chose to take my interpretation o^ Christ from His companions, ana not from St Augustine or the latter* suroly it la the t, Hark and earth did not have the power of God. Moreover, the story of a virgin birth was not the teaching of the early church.” In allusion to present day church organization Dr. Grant said: “Do you want an American chur ch of freedom rather than a church of authority? You can have it. Do you wpnt an unshackled clergy? You can have it. Ministers have the opportunity, and the time to read and learn. Do you want to know all they can find out or do you want it hidden from you?

CHANCE3 TAKEN BY BALL PLAYERS DISCUSSED Irwin Howe Reviews Individual Fielding Exploit* ■ ■■■'. i \ Not less notable than the home runs, high batting averages and other feats with the war club that maintains the enthusiasm of base ball patrons at a high pitch during the 1922 season were the unpreccd ecented fielding exploits that fea tured nearly every game. The unusual skill displayed by leading members of all the teams in the league has led the decision to tabulate certain features that will serve as standards of comparison in future years. The table deals with the chances accepted by leading players in all positions except the pitchers. As a' further explanation of this table it may be said that for many years an average first baseman accepted about 10.40 chances per nine inn ing game. Second baseman and short stops, 5.60; third baseman,' 3.60; and outfiielders from 1.60 to 2.40, depending on the field covered, and to some extent on temporary con ditions. As a list of American L<eague players who occasionally exceeded the noraml number of chances would be too long for the puropses of this table only those are included who had one or more “big days,” based on the following restrictions: For the first baseman; 16 or more chances; second baseman and short stops, 10; third basemen, 7; and out fielders, 6. For the catchers, account has been taken of the times in which they exceeded the normal number of assists, an average catcher usually handling about eight assists in ev ery ten games. The basis of rating In this table is, (a) the number of games; and (b), the aggregate of tile accepted ^hanecgrh* theca game*/*w^ Many more double and triple plays were made last year than was possible in the seasons when there were fewer men on bases, therefore the number of such plays in which the men listed here have participat ed in also given. The Washington team set a new record for double plays and .that rarest of fielding feats, the triple play was performed no less than seven times. Boston and 'Chicago each made two, and Cleveland, Philadelphia and Wash ington one each. When the regular fielding average was published attention was called to the superior class of the first basemen. This is further attested by the table herewith. In no less than seventy-five of the games the first guardian, handled from sixteen to twenty-three chances. This remark able showing was due of course to the high degree of skill attained by first basemen, in recent years, in handling ground balls, taking fouls in right field territory and the forc ing of runners second at second and third bases. Walter Pipp handled sixteen or more chances in twenty games and participated in 114 double plays, making four of them unassisted. George Burns turned seven Iwo-ply killings without help, aided in 84 others, and in three games handled 21, 22 and 23 chances, respectively. Ear] Sheely had 20, 22 and 23 chances in three games and assist ed in 113 double plays Joe Judge dRI his share in 127 doable plays, which is probably a record for first basemen, while George Sisler was second with llfl. Stanley Harris, whose work at second throughout the season equ alled any heretofore made at this position, was among those present in 114 double plays, and in fifteen games accepted ten or more chances This table offers further evidence cf the brilliant manner in which Ward Pratt, McManus and Eddie Collins covered the territory adpacent to second base. McManus’ record of 104 double plays Is particularly note worthy.

HOOVER PLAN MAY HELP TO GET MORE SUITABLE HOMES Report discuses one and two Family Houses so much Needed AGREE ON CODE FOR BUILDING PERMITS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Cheap er and more durable homes for the American people is the object of a report made public today by tho Building Code Committee of the De partment of commerce. The Commit tee was appointed by Secretary Hoover to investigate building prac tice and code requirments in the United States and to prepare stand ard building regulations based on the latest and best information which might be recommended to cities and states adopting or revis ing building codes. Secretary Hoover characterized the report of the committee which deals particularly with one and two family dwellings, as “having a value far beyond any similiar work undertaken to da.e.” The Committee has recommended in its report the minimum require ments which it believes should be en forced by cities in their building: codes for one and two-family hous es and in an appendix discusses good practice in small house con struction. The one hundred page printed report now made available at a nominal price to all interested in better and more economical hous ing construction, by the Department of Commerce, not only presents a model ordinance which cities may adopt, but serves as a guide to all those interested in showing where to save and where to spend in or der to obtain a safe, substantial and durable house at a minimum cost. J* * £ck%Qwledgen}enti ncMressed to ira jj.-lfVolwm, chatr* man of the Building Code Commit tee. Secretary Hoover states: “I am confident that the generous and voluntary contribution of time and energy which you and your colleagues have given to this work will result not only in a very appre ciable money saving to millions of American families, but that it will have a positive influence toward bet ter housing that can not be counted in dollars. “This report has been built up by cooperation of the Government and the public which I feel will ap peal to everyone. The committee it self represents the great voluntary organization, most interested in pub lie service in this direction, but be yond this you have in its prelimin ary form to over 900 municipal of ficials, architects, engineers, officials of tradh associations, and incorpor ated their criticisms into its final form. I believe this method of intel lectual legislation is unique and gives the report a value far beyond any similar work undertaken to date that it will be helpful i»**t —thru “I join with you in the belief practical use by municipalities ;n building codes and in promoting greater uniformity in codes thra out the country, but that with its ap pendix it will prove directly useful to owners and builders of dwellings generally. The Building Code Committee in cludes representatives of the prin cipal architectural, engineering and other interested professional sociec ies and was constituted as follows: Ira H. Woo Is on. Chairman, Con sulting Engineer, National Board of Fire underwriters, New York, N. Y. Edwin H. Brown, Architect, Minne apolis, Minnesota; William K.
