said he based his conclusion on sta

Reports from thirty-six States In
which regulatory bodies similar to

that Indiana. in 1921. paid 1871 per
cent less in telephone rates. 1873 per
cent less for gas and 1879 per cent
less for electricity than the average
Of other States. These figures are
from the present rate scale In this

Despite these increases 1t is probable
that Indiana's rates are still consider
ably lower than the average Of the

 MT, Mccue. who went out last year and. received his letter Cor football. was elected to the captaincy, and not by members of certain Fraternity as Ave men outside the Fraternity voted for Mccue. and this can be proved.
 It seems that because McCue be- longs to this Fraternity he wasn't get ting square deal and that doesn't seem right will say as everybody else is saying. Captain Mccue did not rdceive the prestige that captains did reeeive in past years.

HUNT TRAINING GIRL
 FOR OLYMPIC TEAM
Continued from Preceding Page)

speaking of these long distance swim ming events, Hunt said that he uses the crawl stroke exclusively and nl- ways finishes fresh. He says also, that after the first mile, the swim mer's actions become mechanical and except for physical weariness there is no effort
 Hunt is native of the Virgin Is- lands and began to take prominence as a swimmer when boy. At the age of 5 he set world record at Porto Rico where at the San Juan races which take place every year he swam 22 ocean miles in 26 hours. This record has not been touched in the intervening IT years and the nearest approach was the swimming of the distance in 2S hours
 This winter Hunt intends to return to the water carnival at Porto Rico and while there will attempt to shat ter the world record for endurance made by Captain Webb. the famous English swimmer, who lost his life trying to swim the Niagara rapids years ago. The English swimmer set a fecord of74 hours continuous swim = ming.
 In 3 previous attempt to better Wobb's record, Hunt remained in the water 46 hours.

RING WOULD CINCH, ] PENNANT FOR MORAN
Continued from Preceding Page)

Ring his great possibilities and Jimmy is doing his best to prove what Fetch CT thinks and says is true.
 Ring hopes to win 20 games for the Phillies. That is setting a rather high figure considering the fact that his team will just about escape the cellar. If he gets his share of the breaks dur ing the remainder of the season he will come mighty close to reaching that mark.
 Seldom Gets Breaks
 When a pitcher is with q club that is q second division aggregation, it seems the breaks always go the other way. A second division club invariably has it's weak spots, usually lacks a punch. These faults often provide the breaks for the opposition
 A recent game in which Ring was beaten by Chicago furnishes an exa,n- pie of some of the tough defeats he has suffered this year, In the opening inning Chicago scored two runs. Ring held the Cubs helpless the rest of the way, but his teammates could only get him one run. In eight innings of pitch ing, Ring struck out 12 men, just half the number retired.
 Tough to lose ball game in which you strike out 12 men in eight in- nings. Jimmy Ring can tell you lot of such happenings.
