struck out ninety-three times. Kelly
of the New York Nationals had been
the best striker-out up to the time
Parkinson made his record. piling up
ninety-two strike-outs in 1920.
Pittsburgh as a team took away
In 1920 the Cardinals went to bat
5.495 times. Pittsburgh raised this
total to 5.521 in 1922. That shows the
Pirates were not waiting much on
the pitcher and that they liked their
base hits.
Parkinson glorified Philadelphia in
another way than by striking out so
frequently, for he had more assists
in 1922 than any second baseman and
more than any keystone sacker in
thirty years. Bierbauer of Pitts
burgh set the mark at $50 in 1892
and Parkinson jumped it to $50.
Washington had a second baseman
in Harris who beat all records in
putting out runners at second, tag
ging 479, two more than the former
record held by Jimmy Williamson of
New York.
In closing please note that Lu Blue
of Detroit is the only first baseman
to have double plays unassisted in
one game.

Callaghan, a beginner with the Cubs
last season. hit three times in one in
ming. This happened in the fourth
frame of a game against Philadelphia
at Chicago. OF course. ii was not quite
SO notable a performance as took place
on September 8, 1883, when Chicago gave
Detroit one of the gosh awfulest beat
ingS in history. In that memorable con-
test Tom Burns, Fred Pfeffer. Fred
Goldsmith and Billy Sunday all went to
bat three times in the seventh inning.
This feat was duplicated on June Is,
1884, when Boston defeated Baltimore
70 to Z. In the first inning Bobby
lt'we, Herman Long. Hugh Duffy and
Tommy Mccarthy each batted three
times. However, Philadelphia thought
Callaghan's feat was notable enough.
HOrnxby Passes Old Mark.
Willie Keller. the brightest star of
them all, made 243 hits for his team in
1897. This was a National League rec
ord for twenty-five years. quarter of
n century, later, however. Rogers Horns
by of st. Louis made $50 hits. The un-
usual part of this is that Hornsby should
have stopped at exactly go. More
strange is that Hornsby's total bases
amounted to exactly $50. Then Hornsby
pressed the run of multiples of ten, for
he bated an even 200 extra bases, beat
ing the old record of 147 held by Sam
Thompson since 1895.
Until 1922 the American League
never had had player who batted
three home runs in one game Kenneth
Williams hit three April %. The Ma
tOnal has had nine men perform this
feat, including Williamson Arson. John
Manning. Roger Conner, Dan Brouthers.

Alaska and Alaskans as Viewed by Late
 President Harding

Following is the address of the late President Harding, on the occasion of his visit at Fairbanks, taken from the Fairbanks News Miner, in which he paid splendid tribute to Alaska and Alaskans:
 "Mr. Mayor and Fellow Amerieans:
 ''I wonder if you know what has most impressed US on our most inter- esting and enjoyable trip to Alaska. You have a sample of it here in Fair- banks. One who comes to Alaska from the States, even though measurably we'll read, usually has an impression lat this is mans country, that it is the home of the itinerant adFentarer and prospector and sometimes of the roughneck. He does not stop 10 think, as I myself did not, of the charm of Alaska as home country; and 1 had DO idea of the incomparable American childhood which I have seen here, and of course that implies also the match less American womanhood. (Applause.) J While Alaska IS maj jestic and bound less and mighty, an empire iH itself, It is also strictly home land, and that is the finest thing that may be sad Of any section Of any nation in the world. (Ap- plause.) Lpresume the explanation for the magnificent specimens of youthful Americans that l see everywhere in Alaska may be found in the open life whchlis led here, in the inspiration Of environment, in the boundlessness Of their hopes, and in the wonders of the Alaskan climate, with it's long nights in the winter during which they may grow; and the long days of the summer during which they may play. There are compensations in all things. God must have worked it all out l have come to the conclusion that you need your long winters. We have come in the summer and found your hospitality so generous and the sun so deceptive and so constantly On the job that we do not want to go to bed. l am sorry to say, however, that Mrs. Harding was obliged to go to the hotel in order to rest, for the lure of Alaska, the charm of the new surroundings, and the invitation to be doing something all the time have really so worn her out that she has had to seek rest.
 "If may digress for moment, what is,the great object in life? [ think 8 little philosophy might well be applied to Alaskan conditions. do not know ofany aspiration that is more desirable than that to enjoy health and happi- ness. What do we live for? For the compepsations of friendship, the de- lights of association, and the happiness and contentmento of home and you have all of those in Alaska as much as any people in the world. Applause. have suspicion that most of the com piaint which comes from Alaska must come from those who are commercially disposed, who have a desire to acquire more than the average share of this worlds goods and then to take it some where else. tApplause.) From this day forth my official as we'll as my per sonal interest in Alaskans will be in those who are trying to make real :-------- -=-- -===.-----=---=----- =.------
