The eight teams of the Pacific Coast
league pounded out exactly 40 home
runs in the last weeks series. All
teams are hitting stronger this season
not alone in home runs but in singles,
doubles, and triples. The home run
column however, is receiving more at
tention than the shorter base hits and
this is clearly shown in the fact that
for the same week of plav in 1920
the total home runs only amounted TO
six complete circuits. In other words
the batters this year have PUNCHED out
81 more homers in the same week this
year.
San Francisco leads the team bat
ting" average list with 223 per cent
and Salt Lake is second with 301. In
the matter of fielding averages how
ever San Francisco is the largest and
most fragrant in errors. The Seals
show 121 errors in the 63 games they
have played or an average Of worse
than three errors per game. Sacra-
mento leads the team fielding average
and to date have only been credited
with 81 errors in 63 games, exactly
half the number of 'bonerS" made by
the Seals.
This boy Hale who came from the
East three weeks ago and joined the
Portland Beavers, has made good from
the jump with the bat. In 13 games
played he has cracked out "a base hits
for Sc times at bat showing per
centage of 429 He is good for hit
or more every game and mixes things
up by cracking out doubles, triples
and homers.
Caveney of the Seals seems to have
hit his batting stride in the series just
completed. At the end of the previous
series he showed a percentage of 297
and during the week jumped to BAG
and in SUNDAYS games still further
added to this figure by slamming out
eight base hits for IL times at bat
jumping his average to 366.

THE FAIR AND ITS MEANING

LNNPOSlTlONS of the old conventional

Hoover. discussing the Philadelphia project
at Il luncheon here on Saturday, emphasized
this point, and at the same time contributed
to the undertaking the germ of m idea Cnl-
culatcd II properly developed. TO infusc the
enterprise with new life.
Spiritual rs well Hs material backing Is
essential to the success of international fairs.
Grandeur of buildings. profusion of ex-
nibits, mechanical. Industrial artistic, are
not enough. According to Mr.. Hoover. it Is
intangible factors, QuiCkcninG the imngina.
tion and stirring the moral and historical
consciousness of mankind. which count most.
The significance Of his observation ac-
Qurcs q special force from the ripcness Of
his experience in large scale organization
and his profound practical knowledge Of
world wide economic conditions In other
words to justify itself modern exposition
must have n soul. 1t must Cmbody nm ideal
The opportunity to vitalzc the fair of
1926 with II meaning grandcr than mere
physical manifestations Is very pressing
Mems hearts must be touched and their best
impulses stirred by the recognition of an
illustrious anniversary.
In addition. n reckoning must be made
with permanent values. Mr.. lIOOver'S Sug-
geStion that the erection of n new Federal

the exposition boundaries opens II vista of
other lasting public improvements The age
of timSy, speciOusly glittering cxpostions
has passed at least 20 far as their warranty
Is concerned
The structures to adorn the projected fair
should be made to conform with inspiring
opportunities for progress of NIL kinds In
this community. \ new kind Of civic or
commercial center Is one prospect. and there
are others which should grow out of such
conception of the enterprise as Mr. Hoover
has outlined.
The Secretary of Commerce has laid his
mastery hand upon precisely the sort of en-
couragement which the fair program re-
quires. He has also, MS might have been
expected, demonstrated his seasoned fitness
for the post of director general of the under.
taking.
lie Is unQuestionably the man for this re-
spOnsible post, and Philndrlphians owe to
themselves and to the splendor of an i'm.
mortal chapter in the City's history to bend
every energy to win his acceptance of a part
ideally suited to his clear cut abilities.

OVERDUE RECOGNITION

THERE Is seldom a year in which the
i records OF the Department of Public
Safety or the FnirmOunt Park Commission
do not attest To numerous acts of hcrotsn
performed in emergencies b. nolicPmcn, fire
men and FairmOunt Park guards. But
the average citizen tnkcs the protective Serv-
Ices for granted. 1t is the job of policemen,
he will reflect. 20 stand out IN the snow or
the rain, to work long hours and to get along
on small pay of iircmcn. to risk their lives
az part OF the day'S work. Tough, perhaps,
but what are you going to do about 1t?
Imagination as well as generosity was re-
quired for thc establishment of the fund
which Edward Box has provided for the pay
ment annually of awards of $1,000 to six
policemen, fremen and park guards In
recognition of unusual acts of courage or
devotion to duty. The pension funds are
meager enough. The sums to be distributed
under The Citizens Award will be gen
erous. But the new fund will be of most
value as general reminder nf the excellent
and admirable service rendered from day to
day by the men appointed to guard life and
property in the CITY and in the parks.

TUSTIN AND WELFARE WORK

LNKNEST l.. TUSTlN, WHO died in Bulti-
IL more yesterday, was for years Interested
In private way in the kind of work which
he undertook officially when Mayor Moore
made him Director of Public Welfare.
Mr.. Tustin organized the new department
and devoted himself earnestly and cunscicn-
tousy to its development.
Men qualified by temperament and train
ing for such work are not easily found The
Mayor, however, il expected to select sue
CcSsor to Mr.. TNStin who will devote him
self to the welfare of the unfortunatcs under
his care and 20 the development of the ac-
tivitios maintained for tn" recreation of the
people who live in the crowded districts.
Men who would like to play politics with
the job are numerous. but the Mayor knows
that such men are the last who ought to be-
considered when he Is searching for n new

OF these men from Napoleon down was OF
royal blood. Their pclgrees were not regis
tered and IL they knew who their grand
fathers were they were fortunate.
But the upstart Napoleon's experiment
In king. making did not last long. The only
King of the lot who survived Waterloo was
Bcrnadottc, and his descendants still reign
In Sweden. The old trust rcasserted Its
power and continued to exercise It.
But in this third decade of the twentieth
century the business of Ringing is not what
II used 10 be. 4 sort Of dry rot seems to
be affecting thrones. and they have toppled
with surprising ease when the opposition
has put its shoulder to them. Alfonso of
Spain has been quoted as saying that X the
Spaniards wished to set up n republic he
would bc the last to oppose them. And his
fellow rulers are but the palcst shadow Of
what the Kings used TO be when strong
men rose by their own might to the head
of II Kingdom and commanded that they be
crowned.

THE FRENCH FURRY

FTNHE extent of the disturbance caused by
i French naval demands In the disarmn-
ment councils cannot be adequately deter
mined until public sessions are resumed. 1t
is undenable that the claims for dread
noughts said to have been presented over
cloud the reduction program ns originally
outlined.
But worth noting also Is the fact that the
unsettled relations of France and Grcnt
Britain are just now being reflected in
Washington. The situation is not precisely
inspiring. but it Is perhaps unavoidable.
The coming conference between Lloyd
George and BRAND must inevitably exert a
powerful influence upon the process of ac-
commodations in the capital. \ game Of
bargaining IL under way. DisQuieting az
this may seem. it should By no means be
construed as torecasting disruption of the
commendablc program of bona fde naval
limitat tions.
1t is not by motives, of which there are
many and conflicting in the Washington
sessions, that the convention will be judged
80 much as by results. French requests for
naval expansion are one thing. Surrender
TO tentative demands is something else.
The possibilities Of adjustment have by
no means been exhausted. AS has been said
before, an international conClave without
crises is one which 1t would be needless to
call
There remain substantial grounds for hope
that France is asking for more than she
entertains any reasonable hope Of obtaining,
and that accord after the conventional over
statement Of national needs on more sides
than one will eventually be reached.
