Some positions in the American
league diamond are occupied by q
star of such commanding brillance
that there could be no possible doubt
Of his deserving a place on the ALI
American league team Such is the
case in regard to three infeld posi-
tons and all the outfeld positions
Chase of the New York Americans
is clearly in a class by himself. He
is not only the leading first baseman
in the game today, but is usually
considered the greatest first base
man Of all tine. He is clearly en-
titled to first choice on the initial
sack.
At second base two stars OF sur
passing brilliance are pitted against
each other. These stars are Eddie
Collins of Philadelphia and Napoleon
I4aioie of Cleveland. Collins is not
only a consummate fielder and ire
mendously effective batter. but is also
one of the speediest men on bases, and
admittedly one of the brainiest players
on the diamond Although ii seems
hardly fair 10 Lajoie, in view of his
marvellous record. still the preference
must go TO Edward Collins as first
choice for the second base position in
the American league.
BAKER THIRD STAR.
At third base Baker Of the Philadel-
phias is clearly entitled to first choice.
Lord of Chicago is the only man who
could dispute with him for this posi-
ton And while Lord is perhaps a
shade Bakers superior as a fielder, al
though there is little to choose be-
tween them on this point, he has not
been the tower of strength TO his
team that Baker has been all through
the season to the Athletics. Bakers
batting has been one of the most for
midable factors in the success of the
Philadelphia Americans.
At shortstop a curious situation pre-
sents itself. Boston has had q con-
slant shifting of shortstops. So also
has Chicago and several other of the
American league teams. Wallace Of
St. Louis, Bush of Detroit and knight,
who has played third and short for
New York. seemed to have a call over
all others. While Bush of Detroit has
batted for only .229, a remarkably low
average for an inf1elder on an All
nine, nevertheless, his mar
velous work as a fielder and his super
lative ability as a run-getter is shown
by the face that he scored 125 runs.
His all-round effectiveness on the Tiger
team clearly entities him in our opin-
ion to first choice at shortstop.

THE Y.M.C.A. MEET
THE STATE ASSOCIATION CON-
VENTION AT SIOUX FALLS
HOLDS MARCH 3-5
VETERANS SEND PROTEST
Department Commander Writes Let
ter to the Governor Relating
TO the Management of
Soldiers Home

Sioux FalIs-The state convention
OF the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, is to be held in Sioux Falls this
year, dates for the convention being
March 3 to 5, inclusive.
The decision to hold the convention
here this year was reached hy the
state committee of the association, in
response to invitations extended by
the Poung Mems Christian assocta-
ton of Sioux Falls college and a
number of the business men of Sioux
Falls.
The previous conventions have been
primarily for the student associations.
but at the last convention held at
Mitchell, men from the cities of the
state were invited to consider the de-
velOpment of the association work in
their cities.
This year, the convention Will well
come all men Of the state. Special
and separate sessions will be held for
the consideration of the need and the
development of the students. City
and small town and rural community
fields.
In seven Of South Dakota colleges
and two Of her normal schools, Young
Mems Christian associations have been
organized and much work has been
done among her students. OF nine
or ten cities OF over 1000 population,
two are maintaininf Young Mems
Christian associations with paid secre-
tarfies. South Dakota is the only
state in the Union that does not have
a building owned by and devoted to
the use OF a Young Mems Christian
association.
The state committee and many of
the men of the state feel that the time
has come for definite steps to be taken
toward the development of this move
ment in South Dakota. 1t is expected
that this convention in Sioux Falls
will mark the Inauguration of a for
ward association movement in all the
three Of South Dakota's important
fields.
The speakers and leaders of the con-
vention are men Of national reputation
in their special fields and every SEES
sion OF the convention should be full
of interest.
A feature of the convention, il is eX-
peCted, will be a special luncheon for
SIOUX ais men, AT WnlCn tlmc the
convention leaders will speak and also
Mr.. T. ]. Foster, Of Ottumwa. Iowa. of
the Morrell Packing company has also
promised to he present if he can ar
range it.
The sessions OF the convention will
be held in the City Temple.
Reduced rates Of one fare and a
third on the certificate plan have been
granted on all the roads in the state
and it is expected that about 200 dele
gates will attend from all over the
state.
The state secretary, J. u. Nebbergall.
Sioux Falls, will be glad to give II
further information.

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
Contains Much Interesting lnforma-
ton on Relevant Matters

Mitchell-The fifth annual report of
the high schools of the state has
just been issued, which brings u
a vast amount of information con-
and shows what Is being accomplish
ed in a way, likewise the meager
salaries which are paid the various
superintendent. In this one respect
there seems to be an urgent need for
an increase to keep up the standards
Of these institutions. The statistics
shown are that OF the l29 high schools
of the state from which reports were
received there are Ais instructors, 27e
of them have college degrees; 70 have
a four-year course. 20 a three-year
course, "a n two-year course. six a
one-year urse Only a trife over
half Of the superintendent of these
schools have degrees. and it is argued
that for higher salaries more capable
men could be employed. The tota'
attendance of pupils numbers 6,l95,
with 500 seniors.
The total amount of salaries paid
the superintendents is S73,26G, or an
average of $l,375. The amount paid
to principals and other instructors
amount to $26l ,249. or an average OF
$645. The city of lead pays the
highest salary for its superintendent
with $4,000; Aberdeen, $500; Sioux
Falls, $2,266, and Mitchell's new super
~intendent next year will receive 81, 100
making an increase of $500 over form
er years. With the beginning of the
fall term the Mitchell high school will
install domestic science in addition
to that Of manual training. which
has been in force for two years.

pounds in weight. l was depressed

s"After suffering for months I de-
cided to go to a stomach specialist.
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve Immediately.
1t was the keynote Of a new life.
Il found that ! had been eating too
much starchy food which / did not d.
gest, and that the cereals which | had
tried had been too heavy. / soon
proved that 1t is not the quantity Of
food that one eats, but the quality.

Home at Hot Springs be placed in
the hands OF people who are in no way
connected with the Grand Army, and
especially of younger men.
Since the introduction of the bill,
the old soldiers of the state have been
