NEW YORK, Oct 4-The highest batting average by a team in the worlds series games since 1906 was made by the Philadelphia Athletics in the series of 1920 against the Chi cago Cubs. Connie Mack's organiZa- tion of youthful stars batted .3l7 in that year, 96 points better than the Cubs.
 r It is significant fact that the pennant winning Cub teams of other days were great fielding organiza- tions, and in all their worlds series, excepting that of 1920, they outhit their opponents. This was noticeable n the 1918 series against the Red Sox. and although the Cubs lost they batted, as a team, .210 against the Sox .1S6. The Sox fielded remark ably in the series. however, having only one error chalked against them,

OF GIANTS BEGAN
 IN YEAR 1883
Contender in World Series Came Into Being Through
 Efforts of John Day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The New York National League baseball club came into being in 1883, with John B. Day, a patron of the game, financing the project. James Mutrie, whose name still lives as the Father Of the Giants" induced Day to back the club after the game had been tried on the old Polo Grounds, then on Fifth Avenue.
 Mutrie managed the club, which was admitted to the National Leagu" the same year it was organized. The New York team took the place of the Troy team which had dropped out of the league and used the best of the Troy players, among them Buck Ewing. Mickey Welch, Roger Connor, Ed Haskins and Pat Gil lespie. All of them were large in stature and during one game Mutrie watched his men in action and re- marked: They are Giants in action as well as stature" The name Giants" has stuck ever since.
 Cornelius Van Cott became presi- dent of the club in 1883, Day having sold his interests. Mutrie was de- posed, broken hearted and John w. Ward became manager. The team finished fifth in 1884 and second the following season. In 1895 the late Andrew Freedman purchased the con i trolling interest in the club and was president for eight years. With the 1 exception of 1897, when the team fin ished third, it was always a trailer I under Freedman. Eleven managers had the Giants under Freedman. The list includes George Davis, Jack Doyle. Harvey Watkins, Arthur Ir. win, Bill Joyce, Captain A. c. Anson, John B. Day. Fred Hoey, Buck Ewing, George Smith and Horace Fogel.
 Freedman finally was induced to give John McGraw a chance in the managerial office. John T. Brush | purchased the team in 1903 and placed McGraw in control. The team jumped almost instantly, into popu
 larity with the public and has since proven one of the best financial in
 vestments in the National League
 Under Day and Mutrie the Giants
 finished first in 1888 and 1889 The team finished second in 1903 the
 21st year of it's life and the initial
 season of McGraws management. Ir 1904 they won the pennant but re
 fused to play the Boston Americans
 for the worlds championship. The following year, when the then newly formed National Commission made
 the worlds series mandatory con
 test between pennant winning teams
 of the National and American Leagues. the Giants won the title by defeating the Philadelphia Athletics four games to one.
 In 1911 Harry Hemstead succeeded
 his father-in-law, John T. Brush. as head of the club McGraw was given a new contract by Hemstead in 1917
 and acquired stock in the club In
 January. 1919, Charles A. Stoneham
 John McGraw and Francis McQuade
 purchased the controlling stock from
 he Brush estate. Stofeham now is president.

NIGHT SCHOOLS
 ATTRACT PEOPLE
 OF MANY RACES
Interest Declines Some But 287 Enroll for Course in
 Citizenship Schools.

Interest in citizenship night schools during the school year 19201921 was not so keen as during the preceding year. But eight schools conducted citizenship classes as compared with eleven for the year 1919-2o. The enrolment for the year just closed was 2S7 as com pared with 4O8 for the preceding year The fact that fewer schools were estab lished and that there was a conse- quent decline in enrolment was, to some extent at least the result of general business depression and particularly of the decline in the mining industry
 The attendance of students was some what irregular. due to the nature of their employment. thus making the work difficult from the instructors standpoint. Nenana had by far the best record of attendance with a total enrolment of IA students and an average attendance of 9 each 'session.
 The total expense of maintaining the eight schools was s2,4ss25. This rep presents an average of $S.60 for each student enrolled.
 The subjects presented were Aiith- metic. English, Gncluding Reading. Spell ing. and Grammar Geography. Hygiene. Penmanship, U. $. Civics and U s. His tory.
 Schools were in session on from two to five nights per week for periods rang ing from four to six months in length. Eleven instructors were employed. of which number five were men and six were women. Out of 287 students en- rolled, 61 are citizens of the United States, 57, have taken out their first citizenship papers, and the remainder. 169, are aliens.
 Thirty-two nationalities were repre- sented in the enrolment as follows: The figures indicate the number of each na-

AMERICAN BRIG
VICTORIOUS
POST OFFICE PUBLICITY

Recent developments in the Pos'
Office Department seem TO lhdlca1e
that Postmaster General hays mas
been taken into camp by no less per-
son than R. B. Howell, Republican
National Committeeman from Nebras.
ka, and one Of the original, consistent
Government ownership boosters
Furthermore, Howell, who has ambl-
tions to be Republican Senator
from Nebraska, is working the post
office publicity department to fare
NEWELL on a rather shaky scheme 10
furnish all the farmers in the country
news by wireless telephone. 10 make
his scheme appear important and teasl-
bic, Mr.. Howell is taking trip 10
Europe ath is own expense to report
To Postmaster General Hays how the
worn-out countries of Middle Europ
are serving the farmers by radio
which by the way is an American IN
yention and brought to perfection IN
this country.
Aside from making Postmaster
General Hays ridiculous in the eyes
of those who know the possibilities
and limitations of wireless telephon-
ing, Mr.. Howell's public ownership
plans arc about due to get severe
smack from the administration. y
few DAYS after President Harding
was inaugurated it was decided IN
cabinet meeting that radio develop
ment in this country would be pest
served by private industry, which mas
already developed the science far be-
yond the dreams of the original inveil-,
tors. Secretary Hoover announced
that policy, and President Harding
spoke it in a message to Congress.
r. B. Howell, who has made a
little local fame forhimself IN Omaha
by running a city-owned ice plant, mas
persuaded Mr.. Hays that the same
considerations which elected Howell!

ownership platform vii save the day
for the Republicans in Ohaha-lf
translated into terms OF Government
control of radio industry.
Administration heads who under

ance with Howell, and that the con-
servative element in the cabinet will
smash the radical NeDraskan's dreams
OF serving the farmers their news
from Washington. In the first place
it is not to be expected that the
powerful country editorthroug hout
the land is going to allow his Con-
gresham to vote for any huge sum
of honey to create a rival, Govern
mcnt-owned news distributing service.
That consideration alone is enough to
kill Mr.. Howell. On the other hand,
the splendidly developed radio sys-
tenn, worked out between the Govern
ment and private scientific enter
prises, will probably not be upset
without fierce fight on Capitol Hill
where spending money for govern
ment for this sort is intensely I'M
popular.

This advance u:i al,1 show the
wisdom of a reduced cotton acreage,
with an increase in foodstuff produc-
ton. In this lesson the South should
find the road to permanent prosper
ity, greater than it has ever known.
If the South will, now and forevef
be independent and rich, let it cut is
cotton acreage heavily for all time to
come and intensity the acreage it
does cultivate in order to reduce the
cost of production and then concen-
trate on foodstuffs for itself and for
the country. Then homemade fer
tilizers will enrich its soils, grain and
grasses and cattle and hogs will diver
sify it's agriculture, enlarge the horl-
zon of it's farmers and add enormously
to their prosperity. Never was there
4 better object lesson than the present.
If the South had raised 12,0OO,hOO
bales of cotton, the price would prob
ably have gone to 8 cents a pound;
but with a crop of only about 7,0G0,-
900 bales the price has gone to more
than three times that figure and many
a farmer will now live who, at 6
cents. would have been hopelessly
bankrupt and in poverty for years to
come. A crop of 100000 bales with
carry-over of, say 100000 in round
figures, or 20,000,000 bales, at 6 cents
would have been worth only $780,
100000, which would have meant
bankruptcy for the entire cotton
growing interests. A 7,00o,00O-bale
ccrop and carry over of 100000
bales at even Is cents pound--and i
should go highcr-would be worth
S1,350,000 900.
Let the South rcvercntly thank God
for this increased wealth, take cour-
age and go forward with new zeal and

cause heard her mention "a trained

Said Mrs. B: "No, no. They were
talking about going away and she
said to him, Find out about the
train, dear"
Said Mrs. C.: 81 think you are both
wrong. 1t seemed to me they were
discussing music, for she said, "A
trained ear very distinctly"
A few minutes later the lady her
self appeared and they told her of their
disagreement.
"Well," she laughed, that's GER
tainly funny. You are poor guessers
all of you. The fact is, I'd been out
to the country overnight and | was
