been making remarks In pro-

Moran is middleweight and
Anderson a heavyweight pugil-

divided the work. Moran hit
Seigler once, which was enough,

leg and carried him five blocks
to a police station. Here the

ran up a total of 179 points against
the kingfishcr collcgians at Norman.
All of which calls to mind the fact
that Oklahoma teams have established
II worldwide reputation for mammoth
scores. Early last season Central
normal plunged into its game with the
Methodist university determined TO
set new state record. So well did
they do their work that they not only
beat the previous Oklahoma mark,
but also established a worlds record
by scoring 1873 points. However. the
wires had hardly ceased spreading this
news when along came Georgia Tech.
and with score of 222 against Cum
bcrland cscIipsed the Central record.
The state still boasts one worlds rec
ord, the 661 points scored by Normal
high school last season being the
highest total for a years work ever
hung up by any school. Previous TO
the establishment of the Norman
mark, Ebcrett High school of Boston
held the record with GOO points.
OF course Muggsy McGraw knew
what he was doing when he swapped
Pete Kilduff to the Chicago Cubs for
Al Demaree, yet after looking over the
records, one cannot help but believe
that the former Western association
slugger would have proved a greater
power in the worlds series than the
pitcher, especially with HerZog on the
maybe list OF course. also. one
wo uld be foolish TO think that Kilduff
was in a class with Her.og at second
or Fletcher at short. Foolish such a
dopster may be, yet the figures show
Kilduff has batted .264 to Fletcher's
.254 and Herzog's .227, while his
fielding record is just about as good
as theirs. In Sc games Kilduff has
stolen ~ bases to nine for Fletcher in
146 and ten for HerZog in 112.
When Il Is realized that II was
for a pitcher who ranks 37th
among the National league hurl-
ers that McGraw snapped such
youngster, one cannot help be-
lieving that Muggsy has scored
another one of the player-trad
ing boneheads for which he is
famous.
