NEWARKERS ONLY
PRACTICE FOR HIGH

Newark High proved little better
than practice for Wilmington High.
in the curtain raiser OF the Cherry
and Whites home season yesterday
afternoon, 80 to II. The college
town lads were the first to tally on a
field goal by Crompton, but when
Coach Ashton's machine got started

AT the end of the first half Whining
ton was on the long end OF a % to
s score.
The team work OF the Cherry and
White was almost perfect. while
Newark was given little chance TO
touch the ball. Crompton was the
only man to score for the visiting ag-
gregation, tossing four field and three
foul goals. Captain Weiner and
Lichte nstein did most Of the point

timers and the latter with six from
the field and three from the penalty

fast, and had a habit of chopping
the ball to the infield and beating
out the high bounds for many a base
hit.
Ty Cobb, left-handed batter
jumped into the limelight in 1907.
Cobb proceeded to hog the spot
light for nine years with averages
ranging from 1924 to .420.
In 1916 Iris Speaker, also a left.
handed batsman, interrupted Cobb's
run for a single year with a mark
Of .3S6.
Cobb came right back with a ven.
geance in 1917, 1918, and 1919. Ir
those three years he did some
nightly consistent hitting, his aver
age being .3S3, .3S2 and .3S4.
George Sisler Of the st. Loui
Browns. stopped Cobb in 1920 with
the fat mark Of .4O7. Like Cobb and
Speaker, Sisler is also a left-handed
batter.

Not since 1904 have two right
handed hitters carried off the major
league batting honors.
In 1904 those two great hitters.
Napoleon Lajoie and Hans Wagner,
were the premier batters in the
American and National Leagues.
In the lapse Of II years a right
handed batter would occasionally
carry off the honors in the National
League, but not until 1921 did two
right-handers equal the perform

In the American League left-hand-

the time. % In the Nationl League
right-handers have been a trihe

Left-Handed Hitters Lead.
When Heilman beat out Cobb in
1921, after hectic struggle that
lasted throughout the year, it was
the first time since 1904 that a right
handed hitter landed on the top in
the American League.
In 1906 George Stone OF the St.

That is just what l was seeking,

both universal and perennial. To the
unfailing charm of Renaissance,
which always attaches to depletion or

of contrast there is presented spirit
ed depletion of city life. which is not
permitted to suffer grotesquely by
comparison with the more idyllic con-
ditions of the country, as is the case
in most contrasts between urban ana
rural existence. In turn, these fea-
lures are reinforced by humor that
Is spontaneous and rervasive and a
heart interest, not forced and hectic,
but SC natural and elemental that
none can escape it. Little touches CT
quite legitimate melodrama are re-
lieyed by an evolution of character |
that is wholesome, normal and con-
vincing.
Altogether, the ethical values Of this
little mosaic of life in all its stages

surest claim to permanence and en-
inence.
Why pile up words and phrases in
an attempt to commend piece that

IS IT my" OLD KEN.
TUCkY HOME OR THE"
Dispute Arises Over Use OF Word i'm
State Hymn When Tablet
Is Made.

Pittsburgh. Pa. Feb. IA. - When
Stephen G. Foster sang the glores of
MY Old Kentucky Home" in 1858, did
he write the first line, The sunshines
bright in MY old Kentucky home" or
did he write The sun shines bright
in THE old Kentucky home?"
This question is engaging the atten-
ton of historical authorities in Pitts
burgh, because a handsome bronze
tablet which the city is about to pre-
sent to Bardstown, Ky. where the
song was written, designates in the
first line that it is my old Kentucky
home"
The reference department of Car
negie Library insists that. while the
title of the song was "MY cid Ken
lucky Home the author wrote in the
first line that the sun shone bright in
THE old Kentucky home" Sheet
music and monograph records from
publishers and manufactur-
ers no not agree with the Carnegie
Library.
As the tablet has been cast and is
on exhibition here, 1t is probably it
will be sent to Bardstown without
change. regardless OF historical accur-
acy.
Sephen G. Foster, the composer.
was born in Pittsburgh.
