.HE|LMAV TAKES
SLIGHT LEAD
OVER BABE
Veterans Figure Prominently
in Exceptional Playing
Of Past Season.

After q sensational race between
Harry Heilmann, OF Detroit, and
George Ruth, OF New York, the
Detroit slugger led the batters In
the American League for the second
time In his career. His percentage
Of .403 was far above his record
last year, when he finished fourth.
Ruth slumped in his hitting
toward the end Of the season, finish
ing with an average OF .393 He'll
mann and Ruth led the procession
all season. the former getting Off
to b good start. HeiImann started
to slump in midseason and when
the season was about two-thtrds
over Ruth caught up and passed
him, only to lose the lead during
the final few weeks
It is to be noticed that veterans
figured largely in most Of the ex-
ceptional performances during the
year. OF the first ten batters
eight are seasoned players. It Is
also noticeable that the great ma
jority of heavy hitters are left
handlers with the stick. OF the first
ten eight were in position to punish
right-hand pitchers the most.
Practically every record went TO
players who have stood the gaff
for years. Prominently among the
star performers were Cobb, He'll
mann, Speaker, e. Collins, Ruth
and Kenneth Williams. Cobb gained
the distinction at the end OF the
year of completing his eighteenth
consecutive year with batting
average OF 800 or better.
iris Speaker, of Cleveland. set q
new American League record In
two-base hits, the Cleveland player
and manager pounding out fifty
nine doubles. Ruth, OF New York,
led all in runs, accommodating Isl.
a fraction under one run per game.
as he played in 152. A glance at
Ruth's all-around record explains
why the Yankee star was voted
the most valuable player Of the
year. He compiled total Of S99
bases, which included forty-five
two-baggers, thirteen triples and
forty-one home runs, the latter total
being twelve more than his nearest
competitor, Williams, Of st. Louis.
| Eddie Collins mark Of forty
nine stolen bases and thirty nine
sacrifice hits were noteworthy per-
/ formances.
Leaving out of consideration those
who figured only in a few games
the records show that out OF the
! tl1irty-eight batters who hit the
ball for 300 or better there are
very few newcomers in the league
who crowded into this particular
column. Manush, Of Detroit. and
Sumna, of Cleveland, may be
counted as the brilliant exceptions.
Cleveland finished at the top
among the teams in batting. but 1t
was a close race with Detroit, the
former winding up the season with
q nercentage of .S01, only one point
ahead of Detroit. New York YAM

champions, were an even ten points

is going to be overlooked merely
because the field is so crowded.

A. and M.
Century Milstead is acclaimed
"the greatest tackle Yale has had
in twenty years." which may be
true. But, if so, what sort OF a
tackle was he when with little
Wabash College out in the middle
West? .
Lyle Richeson is ''the brainiest
Yale quarterback since Tad
JONES'" but was he any less brainy
when playing with Tulane down
in Louisiana?
1t has always been a pet hobby
of ours that Harry Costello would
have been an "All-American,

a more prominent team tnan
Georgetown, and Frank Goettge' s
case merely adds to our belief.

ferring to bang right into tia
Tigers, leaving three and four
PROSTATE in his path.
Like Coy, Goettge was almost
unstoppable Saturday. It was his
''big game" just as Coy's were
with Princeton and Harvard. He
ran from simple formation, a
fake kick, and usually to his
right. It seemed as though the
Army tackle must sometimes
reach him behind the line Of
scrimmage. But he didn't.
The big Marine would come
pounding up to the line, sidestep,
straight-arm somebody, bounce
off, plunge ahead, run into the
secondary defense and be brought
to earth by two or three or even
four foes after gaining anywhere
from FIVE to fifteen yards. It was
heart-breaking trying to stop him.

Really Won Game.

~OETTGE really won Satur-
IL days championship. True,
~ he was assisted by ten 9th
ers. each striving with all his
might. But Goettge was equal to
any two other men in the Marine
lineup, judged wholly by what he
did.
The big quarterback carried
the ball, kicked it, made interfer-
ence. tackled brilliantly on the
defense, and, to make a complete
end. held the ball for Ryckman's
neat placement goal after the
touchdown.
But better than all else was
his spirit. It affected every mem
Der of both teams; filling the Ma
rines with courage and the sol
diers with gloom. His terrific
plunges during the onward march
in the third period seemed to take
the heart out of rivals, causing
them to despair of ever hating
him.
When the tide turned in that
final period and the Marines saw
their opportunity, Goettge seemed
TO take on new life. His long
strides had Jagged now and then
before. Now he was a raging
mammoth who simply would not
be stopped, brushing aside the
tired soldiers and crashing over

 ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union in it's fifty-third annual con- vention, held recently in Chicago, adopting resolutions again endors- ing the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead Act. calling for rigid enforcement of the prohibition law, and making an appeal that the flag be kept stainless and unsullied. The resolutions read in part:
 Because the Volstead Act is vio- lated is no reason for it's repeal. What laws are not violated? Shall we repeal the laws against bribery, against the adulteration of food and drink, against the dissertation of the Sabbath, against adultery, against the social eveil, against obscene pub lications, because they are infringed? :?
 Prohibition protects the indus trous against the waste of the dissi- pated; the innocent against the crimes of the guilty; the home against the merciless hands that would destroy it: and generations unborn from the inheritance of weakness, poverty and vice which is ready to overwhelm them"

Commercial Club Asks City to Call Convention to Provide Ways and Means For Territorial Division.
(Ketchikan CLronicle)


 The Commercial Club of Ketchi- kan voted to ask the mayor and com mon council to call convention to be held at Ketchikan this fall to initiate the movement for a division of the Territory of Alaska.
 According to the suggestion to be laid before the council, that body will be asked to set a date Nor the convention, and then to communicate with the municipalities in that sec tion of the Territory interested with a view to having them send delegates The invitation will extend to all that part of Alaska which President Harding, in his Seattle speech, inti- mated might in the not distant fu- ture become a state That is, all of the Panhandle of Alaska and possi- bly a small portion of the Southern part of the mainland of the Territory if the residents of that section so de- sired. This would go so far as to take in the Copper River basin.
 It is pointed out that forestry of- ficials and others have recommended this division, that the people of Southeastern Alaska are almost a unit in it's favor, and that the con- templated convention could give the movement a momentum which would have effect at the national capital.
