The Virgin Was Right

There is an old tradition to the effect that Gen. Santa
Anna at the battle of Buena VISTA cursed America and
all Americans and that night the battle field the
Virgin came and told him the United States generally
and particularly Texas would be punished for the unjust
war; on his people.
Well we sure have been. The battle of Buena Vista
took place in 40 Just 46 later the first boweevi

For the past years the insect has inflicted damage
to American cotton growers averaging S3O00OOOO0 per
annum according the latest bulletin issued by the de-
partrnent of agriculture.
The loss during the past four years alone is greater
than the cost of all the of this country in money
and material, from the Discovery Of Columbus down
to 81

Vile" we have an estimated damage in Of S3000,
100000, truly appalling figure.
In newly invaded regions of the cotton belt the loss has
frequently exceeded one-half the CROP
An unusually cold winter reduces the danger and
mild winter increases it. dry spring hits the weevi
and a wet spring furnishes just the culture he likes
best.

"You are up against a mighty hard
proposition said Mr. w. p. Thomason

lplc must be overcome before they can
see the benefits which will come
through buying in I.aurens. But by
a clear and honest presentation Of the
truth about the matter, they may in
time be brought to see the facts in
the case. Anyone who makes thor

when a local merchant is told that
his prices are q few cents higher than
some Of the mail order catalogues, he
often hasn't time to explain in detal:
to the customer about transportation
charges, difference in quality and SER
vice and the various phases Of the
matter in question.
"rhc result is that the customer
often leaves the store under the i'm
preston that the local merchant tried
to cvadc the question and that his
prices are really higher, while in
many cases the prices are about the
same and often the local prices are the
most reasonable

In golf in 1922, Gene Sarazsn vas
the outstanding figure from the
masculine point of view; Glenna
Collett from the feminine angle.
Sarazen started the year by win
ming the southern championship
from a high-class field. He follow
ed this up by winning the rational
open championship Of the United
States at SkO1ie. This is regarded
as the highest honor that Ameri-
can golf can bestow.
In winning the national open,
Gene. was favored by the breaks in
luck The breaks always seem to
smile on the winner. Some of the
experts regarded the sensational
victory In the light of a fiuke.
AL such thoughts were dispelled
when Sarazen in match play cham
pionshipI pitted against the very
best pro players in the states. won
the professional golfers title.
Walter Hagen, who, next to Sar-
azen, is the big figure among the
men, won high laurels when he cap
turedi the British open. Sarazen's
victory in the national open at
Skokie raised the argument as to
who shall be regarded as the lead
ing player of this country, if not
in the world.
The discussion aroused, led to
match between these two great
players. 1t was, in a way, the
world series of golf. After trailing
for the first SO holes, Sarazen came
from behind to one of the greatest
wins of the year in golf circles.
Glenna Collect, the 19-year-old
girl, clearly established her right
to the premier position among
women golfers In the national
women's championship, she breezed
through classy field, meeting ard
defeating in the final match for the
championship one of England's'
greatest players, Mrs. w, A. Gavin.

on the wire netting Of an eastern
tennis court, an infection set in,
which caused the loss of part OF
one finger on the right hand. 1t is
feared that this may seriously hand
leap his game.
Tilden, however, treats the hap
pening lightly and says that the in
jury will in NO way affect his play.
He feels confident he will be able
to show the way to the rest Of the
worlds greatest tennis experts.
At home, Mrs. Molla Mallory
continues to reign supreme. Her
game has proved too much for the
women tennis players of the United
States. r.
On foreign fields, however. Mrs.
Mallory was not nearly so success
full Invading England, she met
her greatest rival and arch enemy,
Mile. Suzanne Lehglen, and went
down to inglorious defeat.
A year previous, Mile. Lenglen
had defaulted to Mrs. Mallory aft
er being apparently outclassed. Ill
ness was given. as the cause, al
though the accusation was freely
made that the French star quit
Geld.
In the meeting at England, Mile.
Lenglen proved that it was physi-
cal condition rather than lack of
sporting blood that caused her to
default in her American debut.
To my way of thinking the out
standing figure in the tennis world
last year is not Bill Tilden. Mile.
Lenglen or any of the noted for

The Giants are great team and
conclusively demonstrated the fact.
To an individual, Babe Ruth, is
credited the most startling reversal
of form in the majors. Ruth, the
big hero of 1921. was the huge dis
appointment o. 1922.
When Ruth made SO homeruns
in 1922 he set ! record that l feel
sure will last for years to come.
If the legal distance for a homerun
is shifted from 235 to 800 feet, l
am positive it will be long, long
while before hi. mark of So goes
by the boards.
Ruth was compelled to hand
over his homerun laurels to Rogers
Hornsby, who made AZ circuit
drives to 35 for Ruth. Ken Will
liams, with 81 home Guns, topped
Ruth's mark in the American
league.
Hornsby again showed the way
to the National league hitte1s, with
a mark of .401. In breaking into
the very select 400 circle, HoTps-
by amassed the highest average
that has been recorded in the Ma
tional league since 1899, when Ed
Delahanty batted .40S.
All in all, 1922 stands as a big
year for Hornsby. In compiling his
.401 average he made $50 base hits
seven more than the best Nation-
al league record made by Willie
Keller in 1897.
In the American league, George
Sisler displaced Harry Heilmann

One thing, however, seems to

Norwich is not quite in the class

While the failure of Norwich was
the big surprise of the year, the
continued fine showing of the great
Exterminator was one of the pleas

Every sport has its outstanding
figure. Ty Cobb is the iron man
of baseball. For Is yeArs he has

Tennis has Bill Tilden. Football
has its Fielding Yost, Alonzo Stage,
Glenn Warner and few other ia
nous old-time coaches, who keep
up with the game despite their
years, and season after season turn
out top-noth elevens.
Exterminator is the Ty Cobb Of
baseball, the Bill Tilden of tennis.
Age does not seem to slow up Ex-
terminator in the least. Despite the
added weight he is forced to carry
he continues to- show the way to
the cream of the racing game.
To Exterminator belongs the
title, the wonder horse" of the
