PHYSICAL CULTURE
EDUCATION URGED
Kramer Tells Citizens Healthy
Bodies Essential for
School Children.

A course in physical as well as
mental education was advocated as
an essential in schools in an address
by Stephen E. Kramer principal of
the Central High School. at a meet
ing of the Iowa Circle Citizens AS
sociation in the Northminster Pres
byterian Church last night.
Children should not be graduated
from a high school without passing
a good physical examination. assert
ed Mr.. Kramer.
Shortage Of Teachers.
Mr.. Kramer said there is a greater
shortage of suitable teachers in
Washington than in any other city
of it's kind. He referred to the low
salaries received by the teachers here
and said that even with a large in
crease the positions would still be
ones of sacrifice financially Wash
ington spends 25 per cent of it's total
expenditures for schools as compared
with 80 per cent spent by many other
cities, he said
A resolution was passed to request
conditioning of the triangle at 11th
and T streets and Vermont avenue
SO as to fit it as a park Benches
and walks were asked for. 1t also
was resolved to request a device
known as street turtle" to mark
the point of intersection of Rhode
Island avenue and 18th street.
Ask for Policeman.
The association also voted to ask
that a policeman be assigned to help
Franklin School children across the
street at the intersection of 18th and
X streets.
The recent action of the Public
Utilities Commission in approving
the sale of three street car tokens
for 90 cents, at car barns only, was
declared to be an "absurdity" and to
defeat the purpose for which the sale
had been demanded by the various
civic organizations.

Who is the most valuable ball play
err in the American League this year?
George Sisler, famous star of the
st. Louis Browns, was voted that
honor in 1922 by committee of ex-
perts.
His name will be first to grace a
monument now being erected in
Washington to commemorate base
ball.
Sisler, the hero of 1922, has not
played a game this year because of
eye trouble. 1t is not believed that he
will don a uniform in 1928. That puts
him out of the running.
Who will succeed him?
While there are many stars in the
American League worthy of consider
alton, 1 nominate Charley Jameson,
left fielder of the Cleveland club, as
the most valuable player of 1923,
figuring he will continue his present
form.
Charley's Real Star
There are many fine outfielders in
the American league, but certainly
there is none better than Jameson.
He possesses every qualification of a
star. Jameson does everything well.
No outfielder in the American
League can go further than Jameson,
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-07-25

and he Is sure catch. A left-handed
thrower, he gets not only great dis
lance to his heaves but deadly &C
curacy, too.
At the bat he hits left or right
handed pitching equally well. He bats
left-handed, but southpaws do not
worry him in the least. Jameson is
very fast. He hits the ball hard as a
rule, but he can bunt or drag the ball
in a manner most annoying to the
infeld.
Success did not come to Jameson
overnight. Some years ago he came
to Washington as a pitcher. He lack
ed control and never got very far.
Being fast and able to hit fairly we'll,
he was used at first base and in the
outfield.
His next stopping place was Phila-
delphia, going to Compile Mack via a
trade. He improved under Mack, but
southpaw pitching bothered him
some. Then came a transfer to
Cleveland. He was thrown in as excess
baggage in a deal that sent Bobby
Roth to Philadelphia.
Under iris Speaker, Jameson ar
rived. He has overcome his fault, in
ability to hit southpaws, and now
stands as player without single

SARAZEN AND FARRELL
TIE HAGEN-KIRKWOOD
Walter Squares Golf Match at Chico
pee Falls With Birdie at

Chicopee Falls, Mass, July 25.-
One of the largest galleries in the his
tory of golf in Western Massachu
sets saw Walter Hagen and Joe Kirk
wood opposed to Gene Sarazen and
Johnny Farrell in an eighteen-hole
best ball match at the Oxford Country
Club yesterday. The match ended all
even, Hagen securing the half for his
side by winning the seventeenth hole
with three, one better than par.
Hagen also got birdie on this hole
in the morning round.
Both Hagen and Sarazen had COM
paratively short puts for IS at the
ninth. Hagen missed his, giving Sara
zen chance to win the match, but
Gene also missed after good try.
Hagen made the course in "a, $40,
two under par. Sarazen was on stroke
behind, 35, 36-71. Kirkwood picked
up on the fifth hole and Farrell on
the ninth. Both shot ass the second
time around the course.

Other players who will receive
serious consideration are Babe Ruth,
Harry Heilmann, Urban Shocker, Ed
die Collins Howard Ehmke, Fred
Haney, Roger Peckinpaugh and per-
haps a dozen others.
Many in Running
Babe Ruth, in the best condition of
his career, has been a wonderful help
to the Yankees, even though he isn't
breaking any home-run records. The
work of Eddie Collins is the out
standing feature of the White Sox
play. Shocker is having a whale of a
year with the Browns. Howard
Ehmke, with the Boston Red Sox, has
been one of the pitching sensations of
the majors, winning practically half
of the victories scored by his club
tailender.
Heilman is having another great
year at the bat. Fred Haney Is one
of the best utility players in the ma
iors. Roger Pecltinpaugh is footing
the experts by a great comeback.
These and many other players have
done big things for their clubs in the
American League. But 1t Is question
able if any one of them has been more
valuable than fleet Charley Jameson.

The Corbin Red Sox will go to

turn game with the town team,
which has been considerably
strengthened since the two first met
early in the season. At that time,
the Corbin boys won easily, but in
the meantime the Portland club has
rounded out into a fast, heavy hit
ting semi-pro organization and Cor
bin may have to go the limit to win.
The choice of pitchers is undecid-
ed, but if Peterson, the clever Port
land veteran, does not work then the
will be Pond, the phe-
Yale pitcher who last spring
pitched the Eli nine to the intercol-
elgiate championship with wins over
both Yale and Harvard.
Either Berg or Tommy Blanchard
are likely to work for Corbin.
