THE American League adopted it,
and I see it has worked well and
has been well received by the
fans. We have been urged to try it
In our league and hope toget
our men to adopt it.

yearly prize Of $1,000 to the player
selected as the most valuable in our
league. and also inscribe the play

There seems no doubt that Mr..
Heydler's views win find respon-
Gtve chord among his own mag
mates, and that the selection of the
most valuable player will become
. permanent institution in both ma
jor. leagues. There is no doubt
that In time this most valuable

pionships.
II the contest takes in National
League stars OF 1923, the voting
between the adherents Of Friscn,
aornsby, Luque and Young should
be spirited.
In analyzing the world series care
fully we came across some odd rec
ords which escaped attention while
the games were actually being
played.
For instance, In looking over the
runs batted in, we observed that
the only runs batted in by Ruth
were his three home runs. While
the Babe played exceedingly well
and hit hard, he did not drive any
other Yankees across the plate.
\ Frisch also emerged from the
series with an odd record. Despite
che fact that he cracked out ten
hits and batted 400, he did not
score a run until the SIXTH game.
WIFI ne cTOScco Inc pldCS lWiSS'
Frisch knocked in only one run
and that, in the first game.
Ruth, Schang and Ward hit safe
~ in each of the eight games. F'risch
was stopped in the game Bush
pitche1. as Emil Meusel gathered in
the three Giants hits on that after
noon.
The Babe drew at least one base
ON balls n each game after the
first contest.

& THE EXCITERS PACKED WITH
HIGHLY DRAMATIC INCIDENTS
Come down to earth!"

Come down to earth!''
An expression especially applicable
- the case of Ronnie Rand, played
By Bebe Daniels, co-starred with An
tonic Moreno in the Paramount pic
ture, "The Exciters," which is due
for run of three days at the Ken
worthy theatre next Sunday.
Miss Daniels, as Ronnie Rand, a
typical example of the modern girl,
seems to take great delight in leav-
ing mother earth as far behind as
possible. To accomplish this, Ronnie
to the annoyance of her parents,
forces into service a number of
power boats and airplanes, either
from her own collection or those
loaned by admiring friends.
But into the life of this carefree
girl comes a certain Pierre Martel, a
supposed crook, who is in reality
secret service agent, thus employed
for the same reason that Ronnie en-
pioys speed wagons-for excitement
Antonio Moreno plays this role to
perfection. 1t is at the first meeting
Of this pair, that the love interest of
the story is brought to light. Their
marriage in dramatic circumstances
follows and then comes an unex-
pected- climax. The picture is de-
lightfully entertaining and is said to
nave exceptional heart appeal

The average number of plants in
six feet of row Of copper carbonate
treated seed on the fifty-seven plots
was 35, as against 1854 with other
treatments. Dry seed, like that
treated with copper carbonate, will
run through drill twelve to fifteen
per cent faster than seed that has
been treated with bluestone. There

in comparing stand. However, there
is no doubt that wheat treated with
copper carbonate will terminate
much better than that treated with
bluestone or formaldehyde, and stand

approximately 25 per cent less seed
when using copper carbonate than
when using other treatments.
