Lajoie Seemed Languid.

Lajofe developed into one OF the
greatest players who ever lived and
who played ball so easily that almost
all fans thought he wasn't trying to
play.
In that respect there was never a
player exactly like him. Seemingly as
languid as If he We're exhausted by
his effort to breathe he would glide
over toward the ball, pick it up and
throw a batter out on what might
have been base hit, doing 1t as If II
were a little dab along the ground.
Day after day he was taking about
one or two chances more than any
body else.
The next greatest after him in Ma
tiona1 Association years unquestion-
ably was Eddie Collins. He started to
play under the name of Sullivan be-
cause he wished to save his standing
at Columbia.
Day In and day out at continuous
work there is not a second baseman,
and precious few infielders of any type,
made by Collins, and last season as
who hold the record that has been
second baseman of the Chicago Amer
leans, he kept his team in the race,
acting as manager, until he hurt him
self and lost a chance to finish third or
better.
Hornsby Gets Palm.
The National League has found
second baseman that Collins has been,
because he has not had enough oppor
tunity He may be some day. Pos
that class, because, like Tenney and
Collins, he went straight from college
TO the Giants He is not the great
some smart second basemen in the Ma
tional Association. F'risch can't go in
sibly he has had a rival at second base
on the field in Herzog, who came from
PENNSYLVANIA to the Giants. Both of
them have played a very important
part in the successes of the New York
Nationals and that helps to tell the
story of their value on the ball field.
Frisch is a better batter and runner.
Hornsby stands out today as the big
gest man who has come from the
bushes into the big league works. 1t
is his batting which makes him more
prominent than his fielding. II he
were to go to the outf1eld and try put
ting a very fast man on second base 1t
is possible that the st. Louis team
would stand higher at the end OF the
season to come than it did in 1925. His
batting will hold for his team no mat
ter where he plays.
Stanley Harris is the fielding Won
der which Washington captured and
that describes him. He is the keenest
pivot man in base ball. Wambsganss
is not an ordinary second baseman
and neither was Larry Doyle of the
Giants an ordinary second baseman,
but as Simon-pure National Associa-
ton graduates none will go much bet
ter than Hornsby and Harris

The gentlemen pointed out that the
route as traversed at present touched
one of the richest agricultural dis

four thriving villages. If the route
is changed these villages would be
eliminated. They insisted that the
present route is as short as any of
the proposed routes and that if it is

BREEDING ENTHUSIASM
FOR THE FARM
By LAURA MILLER

Porter, Mo-, used to be a community
with its tail between its legs. At the
schoolhouse, for instance, Tapping
wall paper, fallen plaster, broken
panes at unshaded windows CORE
sponded with the peeling paint, ripped
clapbOards, treeless yard of a neglect
ed rural school. Tramps added filth.
Porter children went to Kirksville to
school-later to Kirksville or else
where to live-if they could possibly
escape the blight at home. Farming
was becoming despised pursuit.
Today Porter has seen cooperative
buying, good roads, blooded stock,
demonstration farm on the one hand,
and young folks band, an interde-
lege entrance courses on the other; in
creased its real estate values, substi-
tuted community for a neighborhoOd
divided against itself, and turned its
children into Porter and farm enthusi-
asts. Its Farmers week and home
economics course, conducted annually
by the university, are famous through
out the state for the local support
given by old and young.
At the heart of the new Porter is it's
once-despised school. At the inner
most heart of all the development is
the Porter school teacher, Marie Tur-
ner Harvey. She is one of those more
than, wise folk, leader who knows
when not to lead. From the six-year-
old whose English and penmanship,
arithmetic and farming lessons be-
come vitality important affairs when
she can sum them up in triumphant
sentence, Il planted 60-foot row of
onions today" to the erstwhile enc
mics who discover unexpected good in
each other while reroofing the school
building SO as not to raise their tax
rate, Mrs. Harvey has taught the COM
munity to discover it's own powers.
A dozen years ago, in the Kirksville
schools, Mrs Harvey had realized that,
while she, was teaching Porter chill
dren to be good citizens of Kirksville,
the more successful teacher she was,
the more the rural community suf.
fered. In 1912, parents of some Por-
ter children who were growing up
scornful of the home place, asked her
to make over their own school.
r Mrs. Harvey won conservative farm
ers by having the old schoolhouse re-
paired instead of approving the pro-
posed new building. She insisted on
the dignity Of a house of her own,
even though the only empty house was
tumble-down IS month cottage.
She weathered threatened injunction
suits, stacked" school board elections
and underground scandal started by
the group who suspected niger in
the woodpile when high-priced
teacher voluntarily came to Porter at
$50 a month. The three years she
promised to give have grown to ten.
Still Porter finds room for growth.
Still it begs for more of Mrs. Harvey's
sort of domination over it's affairs.
