NEW YORK, -iov. 13.-Elmer
Jacobs, pirate pitcher, lacks just a lit
tie of being officially credited with be-
ing the only big league baseball play
er who hits the size Of his hat. Off,
cial averages for 1916 made public to-
day by Secretary John Heydler, show
that Jacobs has walloped the ball for
count of .075, which is as near as
science has come to comparing the
size Of hats with batting averages.
Hal Chase, leader of the league. has
an average OF 1929, which probably is
one good reason Cincinnati stands
second in team batting, with a count
Of 254 Brooklyn leads In this depart
ment with .261.
Chase had a rival for league leader
ship in McCarty, New York catcher,
but the fact that McCarty took part
in only eighty games gives the cham
pionship to Chase. - he unwritten law
that favors battery men does not ap-
ply here, for McCarty appeared in
many of his contests as a first base
man for Brooklyn.
The averages show that Benny
Kauff failed in his first big league year
to punch record of 800. The former
Federal league star had an average of
only .264. He was second as base
stealer with forty swipes. Max Carey.

eurbank's Accomplishments.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Burbank
has been working on the breeding OF
plants for forty-one years. And what
a fruitful life his has been? Don't
you imagine that because of his inter
est in the development Of plants his
life has been greatly enriched and
vastly more worth the living than
that OF the average man? The hap
piest people in this world are those
workers who are Interested In their
jobs and who grow with the passing
years into wider appreciation Of the
world in which they live. Burbank
can now make blue print Of anything
in the plant world which he wishes
to develop and then make good" on
his design just as an architect makes
a plan for house and then gathers
the material he has prescribed and
builds it. Burbank's life would be
rich beyond measurement even If he
should at the end die in the poor
house.

KAHOKA, Mo-. Nov. 13.-The an
nual harvest home of the Clark
county public schools drew q very
large attendance to the fair grounds
Saturday, Notwithstanding the threat
ening weather and the cold wind.
People came from all parts OF the
country in automobiles and other We
hicles, and it looked like a county
fair on race day on the grounds.
The exhibits we're of every kind,
all the product Of Clark county ochool
pupils. They ranged from big ears
Of corn and samples Of needle work
to specimens OF all native woods
and big cakes. The walls Of art hall
We're filled with drawings and tables

the exhibits from scholarship to
farming. The whole exhibit was in
ompetition between the various
schools in the many classes shown.
Miss Helen Mckee. county super
intendent Of schools, has built up
this harvest home during the past
few years until 1t is an institution Of
Clark county. The basic idea is to
show the people what the pupils in
the public schools of the county are
being taught to do in addition to
learning the three RS and the bound
aries OF Rumania.
This year, the harvest home ex-
hibits showed not only the capacity
to do things being developed in the
children, especially of the country
districts, but the wide range OF use
full things which they are being taught
to make them better producers as
well as better citizens in the future.

Blue and White Went DolUn
in Defeat Here Saturday
Before Purple and White

| Keokuk High decisively defeated
| Quincy here on Saturday afternoon
81 to 0, and incidentally piled up the
| largest score against an opponent
| this esason. Following a dreary
string of defeats, Saturdays game
came as a quickening tonic and help
ed wonderfully to dispell the gloom
that has hung about the local camI
for some weeks. 1t also served to
bring out some qualities OF new and
old players that proved a revelation
to many.
On the offense, the Keokuk team
was a whiz and on the defense at
critical times, impregnable. Lloyd
Roberts and Beach just could not be
stopped on their line bucks. Their
pIunges were terrific and they went
at the business of gaining ground
with spirit that could not be daunt-
ed. Ebersole, playing at left half,
was one of the big surprises Of the
day. Ebby was developed after the
team had already played three or
four games, but he has proved a con-
siderable asset in the backfield. He
is a lower classman and still has
years before him on the football team.
Tommy Pond, the diminutive quart
er, made a splendid showing yester-
DAY. He never lost his head or
fumbled the ball once. and he bucked
the line with just as much confidence
as the considerably heavier back
field.
Passes Gain Ground.
Keokuk forward passes gained an
immense amount Of ground. In the
early part of the game almost every
one was successful. Later on, this
success caused carelessness and a
number of passes failed. Quincy
tried few passes but they were
mostly flukes. Fumbling proved
costly to the visitors also. Quincy
did not lack in spirit but was really
no match for the Purple and White.
Keokuk scored a first touchdown
early in the first quarter; a second in
the second and two in the third; be-
ing near a final score in the closing
quarter three times. Beach and
downs.
The First Halt.
Quincy defending the west goal,
kicked to Keokuk, Odeu gathering in
the ball. A forward pass to Wells
netted ten yards and then the steam
roller began to move. Roberts in
two dashes. made five and eight
yard gains. Beach added two; Eber-
sole added two and a forward pass
from Ebersole to Roberts put the ball
on the 25 yard line. where Ebersole
tried but missed drop kick.
The ball was given to Quincy on
the 20 yard line but the visitors
after making few slight gains,
fumbled, the pigskn being recovered
by Ebersole.
After drilling the line couple OF
times, Ebersole sent a pass to Rob
erts, who covered Is yards for the
first touchdown, Huiskamp kicking
goal.
