Basketball
On Christmas eve, the Muskingum
college seconds engaged Stockport
high in hard fought game of bas-
ketball, on the Stockport floor. The
o c me remained uncertain
throughout almost the whole game.
The teams were quite evenly match
ed, making performance on both
sides appear mediocre The only
striking features were Grimes in
ability to guard Van Fossen, and
vice versa and the decided ability of
both these players at scoring. The
persistant determination of the
high school team, however, brought
them victory, with a score of 19
points, against 16 scored by Mus
kingum. This was Stockport's sew
enth game and victory. Stockport's
next games will be against Penns-
ville's boys and girls, at Stockport,
Dec 80. The lineup was
as follows:

Maybe the dear public will reap
some financial benefit from the fight

Machinery that has supDlanted
horses has released enough land to
feed 100000 more people in Ohio,
reports j. !. Falconer, head of the
departments of rural economies at
the Ohio State University and the
Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton. The horse population has de-
creased % per cent on Ohio farms
in the past Is years and 70 per cent
in cities. Horses formerly con-
sumed approximately 25 per cent OF
the feed consumed by live, stock en-
Ohio farms Their decreasing num-
Der may in no small part be respon-
sible for the low prices for cats and
hay in recent years
Tlreless energy of rural and city
school teachers of the state jn teach
ing care and caution on the part of
children in the path of the automo-
bile is reducing automobile acci-
dents in Ohio. Traffic accident rec
ords will be large this year, but they
will show that by far fewer school
children have been injured This is
all said to be due to the work Of the
teacher, who daily cautions his or
her pupils about being careful on
the public highways, railroad cross
ings, etc. The younger generation
is TO be made more traffic-wise than
it's elders, and while the result is
apparent already, time will bring
about much better results and few
auto accidents, in the opinion of ex-
question.
Collections amounting to approx
imately s50,000,000 have been made
during his four year term of office
by Col. Tbad H. Brown, who retires
within the next ten days as secre-
tary of state Not in the history of
Ohio has any other secretary col
lected such a large amount. OF the
total collected $44,723,960 came
from the sale of automobile license
tags and s3,592,765 from the cor
poration division of his office. When
Col. Brown assumed office it cost the
state 33 per cent for the collection
of the automobile tax money, which
in 1922 was only $7,SS8,922, while
for the past year the cost has been
only 2.2 percent, while at the same
time the collections totaIled over
Sl3, 100000 and 1,270,026 pairs Of
auto license tags were distributed
as compared with only S77,361 the
first year he was in office. Col.
Brown upon his retirement as secre-
tary of state, will open on office for
the practice of law in Columbus.
While he declines to discuss his
plans in 1928, many of his friends,
scattered as they are in all parts of
the state, are busy with their own
scheme of keeping the name before
the voters of Ohio.

BASEBALL M0GULS
 MEET IN CHICAGO
Renewal of LandiS' Contract Re
 garQed as Almost Certain

Chicago, Dec. Ii P,-With the second session of the stove league called to meet here next week, the baseball moguls are en route here to continue their trading talk and settle number of major proposi- tions.
 First of these is the renewal of the contract of Commissioner K. M. Landis, regarded as almost cer- tain through his endorsement by the statement of President Heydler of the National league.
 Managership of the Cleveland In- dians is yet to be arranged and an- nounced. and Eddie Collins deci- sion likewise awaits further confer ences here. Collins says he has two offers and promises to appear in the American league as usual next season, but whether with Cleveland.
 Philadelphia or some other club he is not ready to say. If Rogers Hornsby's new contract is not yet arranged, 1t, too. may be decided here. So the trading operation can get under way.
 The American association meet ing opens next weeks program here on Monday, though President Hic- key was reelected at an increase Tn salary at Asheville.
 On the 14th and 18th the Amer ican leaguers hold their business sessions, and on the 18th the Ma tional leaguers come from New York after their own conference for the joint meeting. presided over
 by the commissioner.
 The two Chicago clubs, at least are openly In the trading market l both seeking infielders. The lack Of important deals at Asheville indi-
 cates that the signing point has not i yet been reached by several other major league hunters.

Possession of first place at least temporarily will be at stake in the Inter Church basketball league to- night at the Y. NJ. C. A. when the St. Matthew's German Lutheran church and South Congregational church teams clash. There will be three games during the evening. The first will bring together the Trinity Methodist; and Center Congregation alists in a church league game, then will come the New Britain-N -Nauga- tuck Y. NJ. C. A. contest. and finally the St. Matt-South church game will be played. The first game will start promptly at 7:S0 o'clock.
 The Methodists lost their first game to the St. Matts but gave that team scare before being finally de- feated in the last few minutes of play. At that. the Methodists were using somewhat al:e-shift lineup and will no doubt he stronger to- night with 'c-o regulars on the
 
 tonight will be the debut of that team il church basketball. The squad was hastily put together as an emergency measure and has held but one practice: it will therefore be somewhat lacking In teamwork. but Manager Leon Bradley has gathered some good men about him who should make them elves heard from. His men include Dick Anderson, Al Schade. { orge Howe. Bliss Clark Gene B wn, Reid Rerrick, Leslie Hartung and himself.
 The St. Matts hay two wins to their credit, having disposed of the Methodists and Blue Army. Against land against the Bluebirds they dis played ruggedness of defense: the offense has been built around the Preisser brothers. but there are other good shots on the team if this pair is kept too closely covered. The South church is tied with the St. Matts, having won it's only start by defeating the First Lutherans last week. Counting outside games. the Congregationalists have taken three straight and are relying on their speed and deceptive passwork to carry them to vic >ry tonight.
 The crowds at the Church league games have not been satisfactory during the first two weeks, but if lis hoped that, the fast caliber of the league having now been demon- strated. there will be a larger at tendance tonight. II is expected that the first place battle will bring out the rooters of the two churches in yolved

Los Angeles, Dec. 1i.--After 20 years of steady professional baseball and half of that in the majors, "Old Doc" Crandall thinks he ought to pick his next job. Therefore he has the permission of the Los An eeles club of the Pacific Coast league to make a deal for himself: but to go out Of the league If it's a managers job he fancies.
 "Old Docs" well known in the Coast league. after 10 years of good hitting. But it will take the old timers to recall him in his hey day with the New York Giants, pitchers, bud, blossom and blight but his right arm carries on as trusty as ever. his batting eye is still deadly in tho pinches. Showing that maybe there is something to reports of rejuvenation in the far west circuit of A baseball. He seems to hold worlds record for service as private in the ranks. At any rate. at 47, he clicks as one of the coasts premier mounds men.
 He got his start in the Three-I league, a mid-season job with Cedar Rapids He won six of his 13 games but his hitting so im- pressed the Giant scouts that he was signed for the next year. Crandall continued 10 win a good percentage of his games in Me Graw livery. and to bat heavy. In 1912 and 1913. he scored as the teams most reliable relief pitcher. and his slab work and batting in the latter year pulled many game out of the fire 10 cinch the Ma tional pennant for New York. He worked as relief in 40 games, and batted .306.
 But a catcher was the great need of the Giants for the 1913 world series-so Crandall missed out by being traded to St. Louis for Larry Mclean, who carried the plate work for the Giants against the Athletics. There was an awful roar among New York fans, and Crandall came back to the Giants the following spring for while.
 He was with St. Louis when he 1 jumped to the Federal league-per- ! iaps the only man still playing who was with that circuit. When peace 1 came, Crandall was sent to the Oakland Coast league club In 1916 He was deadly to the Los Angeles club-usually beating them every time, and pitching twice each week i the Oaks and the Angels played ! So the Los Angeles management | unanswered q deal to get Crandall Before the season was over he beat the Oaks in every start, and pitched ! the Angels to within three game. i Of the coast pennant.

the criticism might be advanced that the

and had it's gaze turned backward to the
past, rather than forward to the future;
but surely in aiding to make good citizens,
the D, A: r. shows a vital interest in the
