The Bates County w. C. T. u, as
is its custom, assembled in the spa

Something like two hundred, people
from different parts Of the county
were present. Mrs. Ed Powell, OF

BUSH MAY END GREAT
CAREER WITH GRIFFS
Passing Of Spectacular Figure
in Tiger History.
Few Better lead-oh Men Have Been
Developed in Major Lsaaues-
Throwing Was Always BIG
Outstanding Feature.

DOME Bush, for Is years a member
of the Detroit team. probably will end
his major league career as member
of the Washington outfit.
The passing of Bush remover one
of the spectacular figures Of Detroits
history. Never the top player at his
position, he always was more sensa-
tional than the player rated as his
superior. Built low to the ground and
extremely aggressive. Bush presented
a spectacle that appealed to the heart
or the gallery. He always did things
in a sensational manner. His style
made the hard ones look harder and
the easy chances look hard. That
was the style of Bush and it gained
him great popularity.
Few better lead-off men have been
developed in the major leagues and
although he was not hard hitting he
still was valuable man at bat, be-
cause he was tough one to pitch to
in fact, probably the hardest man for
a pitcher to work on with the excep-
ton of Topsy Hartsel. Bush several
years ago led the American league In
securing bases on balls. He knew
what to do after he got On-and that

COLLEGIANS STEALING BASES
Thorne Murphy Stole Fourteen Bags
In Sixteen Games for Yale
Other Star Features.

Base stealing is regarded as an art
temporarily lost in the major leagues.
The seasons batting averages for col
lege players would indicate that among
the collegians base stealing is still in
dulged in.
Ihorne Murphy, son of the late
mike" Murphy, playing 16 games for
Yale, stole Ia bases. He was not
thrown out in any attempt to steal,
and he was the ranking base runner
of the college field.
In all the leading eastern colleges
there were 33 men that batted 800
or better, and few games were de-
cided by long scores. There was
plenty of good pitching.
One hundred and nine regulars of
leading college teams were able to
gather only 81 home runs during the
season and no collegian made more
than two four-base hits In 1921.

Eastern football men for years have
been confronted by the problem of
overcoming tight lines of opponents.
Even Harvard, supposed to be one Of
the best teams I'm the country, found
Princeton's line too much for 1t last
year and to tie the game, resorted to
clever forward passing. 1t was be-
cause the East has been slow in TAX
ing up the pass-as shown by the
strong antagonism against the play at
every rule meeting-that Harvard sue
ceeded so well as it did.
That the East could overcome
strongly trained lines by trick play
and other thrusts indicates, possibly,
stronger attack than the Middle
West has developed, taken season
after season.
Football Intricate In West.
The conference, taking to the for
ward pass as the line of least resist
ance, developed this highly. 1t went
farther, it developed plays to disguise
the throwing Of the ball. In this
way, the development of regular line
piercing or rounding plays and the so
called curtain plays to cover forward
pass, meant that the usual number of
tricks taught team ranged from 20
TO 80, writes Fred A. Hayner in the
the Chicago Daily News.
The East, handicapped by the ten
yard rule and the removal Of the
pushing masses, bent to the study of
line piercing in earnest, until now IT
has evolved system highly dangerous
to a Midwest team where scores are
| frequently held to nothing or to one
| touchdown.
Should western team breeze down
| there and run up quick big score by
forward passing or freak running. II
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1921-11-04

can easily be imagined the hopeless
ness of expecting a game like the
eastern attack going out to catch up.
1t would be like a snail trying to
catch a rabbit. But so far western
teams invading the East have not
Jared so well as eastern teams play
ing in the Far West, as did Harvard
and Dartmouth.
The necessity of learning many sig
nails and the intricate moves of the
midwestern plays is severe task on
football men in the conference.
Fewer Plays In East.
At the same time 1t Is bound to in
crease the thinking power under stress
in game. That, of course, is one of
the principal values of football. The
eastern man with fewer plays is most
concerned with his own performance in
the machine. He passes much time re-
viewing the limitations of his problem,
| being very careful not to overstep GER
tain boundaries which may interfere
with the man next to him. His car.
| dlnal principle is to stick by MS
job, defend his little bailiwick and
let the rest of the world take care OF
| itself.
Backfield men, of course, have more
latitude. They may even rise to bril-
liant self initiative, sometimes doing Q
thing little better than the coaches
expected. The coach is not con
cerned with the brilliancy Of the play
er, but with the arrangement of mer
which permits one to get into the oper
and star.
The Midwest game is far more al
imaginative stimulant than in the East
The East apparently is the stronger be
cause it plays closer to the ground an,
is not imaginative.

Enormous Addition 70 the Ma

Que TO RISE IN PRICES
National Bureau Of Economic Research,
After Exhaustive Study, Makes Pub
lie Figures Showing Variation In
Dollars Purchasing Power.

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
uonal income of the United States In
1918 was 81 billion dollars. as COM
pared with 34.4 billions In 1913; but
this Increase In dollars did not repre-
sent like increase In production. Most
of II was due to the rise In prices, for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that Of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little. il at all,
and a large part of those which were
produced were war materials. not of
u kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently. individual incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis. rising
from $40 in 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
to $3.50 in 1918. represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the $3.50 of 1918 Is equivalent to only
1872 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
