way of telling without taking an
individual poll, but it looks as
if Madame Ernestine Schumann-
Heink would stand an excellent
chance Of heading the list if the
hundreds of letters from enthusiasts
tic admirers which she receives
daily are any guage. So wide is
her acquaintance that she has often
been called "the lady Of a million
friends"
On holidays her regular mail is
trebled by the thousands Of greet
ing cards which pour in from her
admirers from every corner Of the
globe. Many Of them are from peo-
pie of whom she has never heard
before, who take advantage of holi-
days or anniversaries to send her
"a delicate expression of their ap-
probation Of her music.
But although l know personally

ued.

ton Manufacturer "to formulate q
resolution on this most important
subject. urging Congress to so
amend the present law so as to pro-
vide that no estimate of the size of
the cotton crop be made by a gov

ECHOES FROM
WORLD SERIES
Loss Blamed to Peckingpaugh
Moore Hero of Pittsburg
Pirates

Pittsburg fans were reported to
have expressed to Walter Johnson
their regret at his having to lose
the final game to them. We're
sorry it had to be you was the
spoken word of many.
We join in blaming the loss of
the series to Roger Peckingpaugh,
veteran shortstop of the Senators,
who broke the worlds record for
numbe of errors made in a World
series. During the series, Peck
made only eight and these at criti-
cal points of the game. We give
more credit to Eddie Moore for win
Eing 4or tIltsDurg, Tor MS nome
run in the sixth game necessitiated
a seventh game.
Batting honors of the series go to
Joe Harrison, Sam Rice Ruer and
Goslin for the Senators. with Carey,
Traynor, and Smith for the Pirates.
These above named an hitting over
the 800 mark. The leading hitter
was Carey with percentage of 45S,
Just eighteen points better than
Joe Harris.
STANLEY Harris jumped on Ben
Johnson, president of the American
League who wired Harris that the
series was lost through sentiment.
Bucky denied this and said that the
president of the league could mind
his own business. There is no
doubt but that BucKy will be called
before Mr.. Johnson and made to
apologize or pay nice fine for the
outbrust.
We are also in receipt of reports
TO the effect that his honor, Mr..
Lands, VIM demand an apology of
Bucky.
Peckingpaugh, sayig that Peck in a
newspaper article criticized the UNI
piring of Mr.. Moriarty. We wish
that Commission Landi would have
Peck apologize to the "Big Train"
for his errors during the past Sc
riss and especially the last game.
There is strong chances of Wal
ter johnson having his life long
ambition fulfilled. There is a move
ment on foot to have a million
Johnson fans donate one dollar each
towards buying a club for JohnS
son. In another column will be
found a news story concerning this
possibility. A number of the local
boys nave already signified a de-
sire to be among the first to join in
the move. We intend to investigate
and if we find that there is a pos
sibiIty of putting the thing over we
will be glad to head the list on an
Americas Walter Johnson Club. It
would be a great tribute to the
eleanest man baseball has ever had
and we sincerely hope the move will
grow and ultimately succeed.
