GIVEN NEIGHBORHOOD
FAREWELL PARTY

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Rutherford, Jr., was the scene of a
most delightful farewell compliment
airy to Mr.. and Mrs. Clint Stemm
last Wednesday evening when the
members of the Ross Methodist
Ladies Aid and their husbands went
to the Rutherford home to pay their
old neighbors and friends farewell as
they are soon to leave for their new
home near Menlo Iowa.
The evening was spent in recall
ing the many good times they had en-
joyed in each others society and how
they regretted that Mr. and Mrs
Stemm were to leave the neighbor-
hood Music and games of various
kinds helped to pass the hours away
and at the proper time refreshments
were served. Before leaving the
guests presented Mr.. and Mrs. Stemm
a substantial gift, which was received
in the same generous spirit in which
! it was given, and this will serve to
remind them of the many close
friends they left behind them. They
are splendid people and the best
wishes of all will follow them to their
new home where it is hoped success
and happiness will attend them.

Babe Ruth Sets Pace for Mighty ~;
Cruise Shows Way in The National
Burns Drops Some During
Week, but Still ShiningEx-
ample to Giant Batters

George Burns, the gallant little left
fielder Of the Giants, had rather dis
appointing week IN his fight for the
National League batting crown. Burns
has dropped back TO 1920. which is a
mighty fine record, no matter how you
look at it, but which, nevertheless,
drops him away below several other
regulars Of his company.
Cruise, of the Cardinals, one Of this
seasons sensations, is virtually lead
ing the National League batters with
the fine average Of .34s. He is topped
by Tom Clarke, the Cincinnati catcher,
and by Prendergast, the Cub pitcher.
Prendergast has record of .462, but
has been at bat officially only thirteen
times. Clarke in fortyfour times at
bat has shown 1854. Roush, Of the
Reds, is pressing Cruise closely at .344.
j. Smith, of St. Louis; Fischer, Pitts
burgh, and Griffith, Cincinnati, are all
tied at 1873.
Kauff and Zimmerman are the only
Giants, besides Burns, in the 300 class,
the former with 1903 and the latter with
1902.
Following are the averages compiled
from official scores, including games up
to Thursday last:
