MAJOR LEAGUERS
SLAM MANY HOME
RUNS IN MONTH
More I han 100 Already
Knocked-Trick Ball Ru-
NOR Again Afloat.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL.
United Prese Stan Correspondent.

NEW YORK. May 11.-One hun
dred and five home runs in the
major leagues in one month OF slug
campaigning has revived the trick
ball rumOrs of last year.
The 1920 season was thought TO
be the peak OF long clouting but
this new season promises 10 sur
pass all marks.
Babe Ruth is two weeks ahead
OF his 1920 schedule and he has
camping at his heels a new National
league king in George Kelly, and
several other near king around
both circuits.
When eight homers were knocked
in one day. the fans perhaps should
be justified in thinking that a lively
ball Is in use.
American Sets Pace,
Last year the American league.
which set the pace in smuggling. was
charged with adopting a ball built
10 fly over the fences. It was made
known. however. that the balls used
in the two major leagues we're made
in the same factory and were diff
ferent only in the color Of the
stitches and the names on the horse
hide.
This year the National league Is
charged with putting out a trick
ball TO help make some Babe Ruths
in the older circuit.
That talk is foolish. The ball
Is exactly OF the some composition
as it has been for years" Pres't J.
4. Heydler said.
His statement Is confirmed by an
official OF the company manufactur-
ing the pellets.
Both are willing to open a ball
If II is necessary to convince the
skeptics.

This might be the story Of a

OF a miner. or the tale of a hobo.
But 1t just naturally leads into
the rise TO fistic fame Of one William
Harrison Dempsey.
About 10 years after Hiram
Dempsey. erstwhile school teacher Of
Logan. w. Va, moved 70 the san
Luis Valley of Colorado. the stork
paid a visit TO the little Dempsey
ranch, between Antonito and Ma

fresh air. 1t was the latter that
played big part in his growing into
the husky Of the family.
Handy With Mitts.
When the Dempsey tribe moved to
Montrose, on the western slope OF
Colorado, dad and mother Dempsey
had six boys. They were all handy
with their mitts. sometimes at milk
ing, sometimes at leach picking. but
most OF the time in an athletic way.
II there was a baseball game. a
football mixup, a wrestling affair or
boxing go in the neighborhood. IL
was a safe bet that the six Dempseys
would be on the deck. William and
Bernard. an older brother. usually
came out on top
Bernard leaned strongly to fstic
encounters and finally dropped HE
own first name. prefiXed that OF the
once famous Jack Dempsey, Non
pareil." and stepped out into the
surrounding country TO take or
other fighters.

what beautiful language we have,
Then why shouldn't every. Ameri
can citizen have enough pride il
the English language TO use it cor
rectly9 In every profession and oc
cupation ease of expression is a bus
mess asset, but l believe this is par
ticularly true in the case of tht
, farmer.
The f2rmers have lately organized
. INTO clubs or unions. When these
meetings are held, if the farmer is
able to get up and make a talk in
which he gives convincing and
clear proofs of a better method of
farming, he is worth more TO his
community than farmer who sits
there knowing what he wants to
say but not having a vocabulary
broad enough to express his
thoughts. The farmer who is handi-
capped because of not having
a broad vocabulary, cease of speak,
ing, and familiarity with good
English is unable to WELD the in
f1uence he should.
If farmer brings his produce to
town and takes it to a lady's house
to sell it to her, and can use good
English and can tell her in his easy
speech and convincing manner
about it, she will be much more ant
to buy his produce than she would
to buy from farmer who came to
her house and mumbled out some
thing about his vegetables and while
he was talking was so nervous that
he could hardly express himself.
The U. S. government sends out
DuiletinS 10 neip the farmer. These
give him improved methods of farm
ing and make him more progressive.
They tell him how to have a grow
ing crop almost the year round
which helps him financially. If a
farmer cannot understand good Eng
fish, then he can not understand
these bulletins which of course are
written in good, forceful English.
tt en- too, farmer has his chill
dren to consile If he speaks good
English, then his children will be
most likely to speak it.

GOOD ENGLISH
Reasons by Rockingham High
School Seniors Why Good
English is Essential.
The Salesman's Need For Good
English.

The use of good English plays an
important part in the success of a
good salesman, and it is very neces-
sary that the salesman be the pos
SCISSOR Of a good vocabulary.
BY using good English a salesman
can much more easily convince his
customer as to the value of an ar
ticle than he could by using slang
and such expressions as: Mister,
you amt never seen a shoe like
thisun for six bricks, its a regular
rip shorter for that price" A well
developed sentence, Sir, you
haven't seen a shoe like this one
for six dollars, dare say, and it is
well worth the price, being made of
the very best cowhide and with
double stitches on the sole"
In trying shoes on lady, the best
English is none too good. A lady,
unless she is an exception, is very
hard to suit in SHOES, and it requires
a great deal of talking and coaxing
on the part of the salesman in order
to put through the leal. With an
easy flow of beautiful descriptive
words and remsrk or two on the
smallness of the foot and the mar
rowness of the shoe, a salesman is
more apt to wrap up the shoes than
if he had merely tried them on and
made no comments.
Always smile and be pleasant be-
fore a customer, A pleasant word
about the weather or himself will
put him in a good humor and good
with the right article will
do the rest.
Omit your slang and never be
pert" to customer If he is right,
then let him understand that you,
are wrong and remember to let it be
known by using good English.

Why Mothers Should Use Good
Enulish.

Good English is absolutely neces-
sary in every line of business or
| walk in life. Especially is this true
| in homes where there are children.
For ii a mother would have her chill
dren speak correctly she must set
f, an example by using correct English
herself Since the beginning of time,
children have been known to initiate
their parents. And because moth
err is thrown with her children more
than any one else while they are
young, it is she who will have the
greatest influence over their speech
and other habits of life. When a
child hears only correct English
spoken by his mother, he will be-
gin to speak good Enlish' when he
is first able to lisp, and will continue
to do so throughout his entire life.
On the other hand, if a child is
brought up by mother who is care
less with her speech and uses all
those incorrect expressions like
Amt" cant" Il taken,' etc, he
will get into the habit of using
slang and other incorrect express
sions and once a child has formed
he bad English habit" it is more
han problem to get him out of it.
Then too, if a child stays in
school five hours, where he hears
t isn't" used, and then goes home
where he hears 1T amt" used for
en- hours, which of these express
ions would he naturally adopt for
lis own? He.would, of course, use
he one that he heard at home. So
We see that unless q child hears
'ood English at home, it will be
cry hard for him to put into prac-
ice what he learns at school.
Therefore, Good English must be-
in at home

that will retain all of his lifetime
Therefore she should use correct
English. Even il the child knows
what is correct, he will usually say
what his teacher says. II the teach
er uses slang expressions, dosn't
have a broad vocabulary, doesn't
use words correctly, doesn't pro-
nounce them correctly, and doesn't
speak with ease, the pupils will also
make these mistakes. 1t is the ma
ture of child to initiate his teacher.
Just as children learn to speak the
same language that their parents
speak, they will use the same kind
OF English that the people with
whom they associate use. When a
child first starts to school, he
thinks that his greatest duty is to
do as his teacher does. There is no
one who can teach child to use
correct English as well as his teach
er can. However, good English is
like many other things. 1t doesn't
do us much good to know how to
talk correctly unless we do it. We
don't need teachers who only know
how to use correct English, but we
need those who know how and who
make good use of their knowledge.

Why a Preacher Needs Good
Enulish.

The preacher, more than any other
needs to use good English. He is
the messenger of God and should
deliver his message in such way as
to hold the interest of his listeners.
A preacher should be careful
about the use of his words. He
should use words most suitable to
bring out clearly and picturesquely
the story he has to tell. He should
use his words correctly or the beau
ty of the story will be lost. A
preacher should pronounce his
words correctly so that there will
be no danger of their being misun-
derstood. He must use good enun-
citation SO that his words can be
better heard and understood. He
should have a broad vocabulary,
speak easily and fiuently, and make
his sentences clear and forceful.
One of last commands of Christ
was Go Tell" The preacher is the
one best suited to do this. Therefore
ne needs to be master of good Eng
lish to do it. The preacher must
speak to the children, the ignorant,
and the well educated. His talks
must be interesting to the children,
easily understood by the ignorant,
and interesting to the we'll educated.
He must have command of a good
vocabulary and proper use of his
words, must speak clearly and force
ully, in order to carry the message
If God to the hearts of the people.

How Good English Helps the
LAWYER.

Lawyer
The lawyer uses good English il
every phase of his profession. H,
uses it in his every day speech, il
the court room, and in his prepare
ton for his argument in the trial
His conversational English, if good
makes good impression on the PEG
pie with whom he comes into con
tact each day and eventually gains
their patronage. For instance a
businessman in New York having
occasion to employ lawyer in
Rockingham would not be favorably
impressed with lawyer who used
such careless expressions as Il seem
Tor i saw and Il taken" for II
| took" i'll his everyday Enlish.
The lawyer uses good English in
looking up records an in the prep
aration of his material for the trial,
He comes into court every day with
the most difficult words and terms
and his knowledge of good English
enables him to readily understand
and interpret these words and
terms. His ignorance of the mean
ing of just one word in the defini- |
ton of the law might cause him to |
lose his case and perhaps imperil
the life of his client.
When the lawyer goes into the
court room to prove the innocence
of his client, he relies to great ex-
lent, on good English. In question
ing his witnesses he uses a very
large vocabulary from which he
chooses the correct words that will
