The Best Right Handlers
/ A PONDERING fan desires to know
"A who the best right handed hitter is
in baseball
Most of the top liners swing from
the southern zone--Cobb, Ruth, Sisler
Collins. Jackson, Roush, Speaker, etc.
all being left handed entries in bat
ting way.
For the first five weeks of the present
race Hornsby and Groh have beer
making desperate effort to revive the
right hand hitter as a leading institu
tion. Between them they have beer
peeling the epidermis off the ball day
after day.
In the way of pure crashing power
Hap Felsch. Of tho Chicago White Sox
has the call among the right -handers.
But the callous facts remain that nc
right handed hitter has led the Ameri
can League in fifteen years--not since
the reign Of Nap Lajoic, while Heini,
Zimmerman. back around 1912. was tn,
last right handler to predominate in the
National.
With fifteen year lapse in on,
league and an eight year lapse in an.
other. it is fairly evident that the left
handler among swatsmen has the advan
tage-the main advantage being a two
yard start toward first. And you know
Row many baschits are lost or saved b,
the margin of two yards.

Mishu won the first and third
sets, while Schmitzu took the second

set was long drawn out and the
Rumanian finally was forced to de-
fault owing to his inability to cob -
tinue the grueling game. All the

Book, 1920" the annual official state
industrial report of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, turned out corncoE
and wooden pipes to the value OF $9l2,-
| 800.
The six factories that year repre-.
sented an aggregated Investment OF
S488,9 To 1893 employees, consist
ing of 2S7 men and youths and LOG
women and girls, there was paid
$295,723 in salaries and wages. For
materials and supplies, including sew
eral hundred carloads of formerly
useless corncobs, there was disbursed
$343,921. These same six factories
that year also paid out $94,332 for
taxes, insurance, rent, interest and
for other miscellaneous purposes.
The six missouri meerschaum'
pipe factories considered in this trea-
tise in 1919 turned out 26,O56, 800
complete corncob pipes, 1894, $3.50
wooden pipes, 1,064 900 extra reed
stems and 1884 pipe cleaners.
Thousands of missouri meer-
schaums" at the present moment are
being smaked and greatly enjoyed by
the rank and file of the American
Army of Occupation in the very land
which was the original home OF the
real article, the genuine meerschaum
pipe (seafoam), Germany. To fur
ther spread the glory of Missouri in
that obstreperous country and give
more worldwide prominence to this
unique industry, each corncob pipe
bears label carrying the legend "a
genuine Missouri meerschaum pipe,
made in Missouri, U. S. A."
In 1918 these same six factories,
which that year employed 425 wage
earners and salaried individuals, con-
sisting of 315 masculine toilers and
ITO feminine, had a production OF
corncob and wooden pipes and other
kindred commodities, such as pipe
cleaxers and extra pipe stems, with
an aggregated first wholesale worth
of S95S,316. The pay roll totaled
$3.50, ,674 and the six factories consid-
cred had capital invested in them ag-
$422,328.
For 1917 the output of the same
corncob and wooden pipe factories
had a total worth of S914,439. An
army of $3.50 employees, consisting of
397 masculine workers and 83 fem
mine workers, were paid total of
1921 ,6O6. The capital invested in the |
industry that year reached $348, ,901.
What ecect the higher cost of liv-
ing, 1919 over 1917, had on the earn |
ngs of the workers in the industry is |
revealed by the fact that the average |
annual individual earnings in 1917 |

Higgs TO Succeed Pendergast
Attorney Thomas J. Hlggs, young,
high class live wire Democrat of
Kansas City. who was Chief Assist
ant in the State Department of JUS
tice during the four-year term of
John T. Barker as Missouri's Attor-
ney-General, 1913-1916, is already in
the lime-light as the new jackson
county party leader. Young democ-
racy demands recognition, it is stated
in Kansas City, and it is this element
which will back Higgs as the coming
successor of Tom Pendergast.
For st. Louis early in 1921 new
morning Democratic paper, to sue
ceed the st. Louis Republic, is plan
ned. 1t will probably have the same
name, and, in short order, will have
the same prestige as did that recently
defunct daily, larger circulation and
deal chiefly editorially and in its news
columns with Missouri's affairs. 1t
is also being suggested that Demo-
cratic morning dailes be launched in
Kansas City, st. Joseph, Hannibal,
Sedalia and Springfield.
Democratic Mayor for st. Louis
st. Louis Democracy, which had a
total voting strength a month ago of
10000, is planning to put up a high
class ticket for the 1921 spring cleo
tion. 1t is figured that with high
class business men nominated for
Mayor, Aldermen and for all other
offices, and party faction
al differences forgotten, the Democrat
Ic party can win out there easily next |
spring for obvious reasons. The cleo
ton Of two Democratic criminal court |
Judges there a month ago, regardless
If Harding carrying the city by Co., |
