With Other
Editors

The members of the Arizona
Daily Newspaper association during
their conference held in Bisbee on
Sunday, discussed at some length
the publication of the names of
juvenile offenders against the laws.
The association voted to go on rec
ord as opposed to the publication
of the names of minors in accounts
of Juvenile delinquency, except when
the nature of the news makes use
of their names imperative. The
idea of the newspaper publishers,
in their resolution, is to protect the
youth of the land. That is, record
kept in any way, either by the
court, or published in the press,
will forever stand against the name
of a person. Thus, child convicted
of petty thievery, who in after
years became an upright and honest
man, always would find that rec
ord of his misdemeanor when
child was kept against him.
Publication of crime news, where
adults are concerned is of value in
keeping crime, for adults do realize
what their actions mean. Children
perhaps do not. The home, the
press, the school and the church are
interested in youth. Any of them
is likely to err. The court is an
other great factor in the life of
civilization. The courts, too, are
interested in youth. The newspaper
often is the most attacked because
each day carrying the news of the
world, the paper goes into homes
everywhere. Naturally, there is a
divergence of opinion in such vast
number of homes and criticism
follows. Yet newspapers aim to
upbuild, not to tear down. Who
would want to live in a city, a
state or a nation without the
newspaper? The action of the pub
fishers of Arizona in voting against
publication of names of minors,
except in cases where use of names
is imperative, but follows out a
rule that long has been in effect
in most newspapers in this state.

GEHR|G
OUTFITS
BABE

Travelling correspondents with
the outfit today are claiming the
1926 home run king of the Ameri-
can League for the New York
Yankees and the young mans
name is not George II. Ruth
1t is Lou Gehrig, sophomore
first baseman who is only three
years off a college campus and
has less than q full campaign
on the big time as working
background.
They say that only Ruth at
the flood tide of his ability and
the late Ed Delehanty were able
to hit q ball harder than this
worthy.
Gehrig has taken the play right
away from Ruth as the big gun Of
the Yankee attack, and the general
idea is that the Babe never again
win be able to match shots with
him. This attitude. by the way, is
typical of the manner In which the
Ruth of 1926 is viewed by the
average newspaper observer. They
seem to think the old gentleman
Is all wet
At that, their analysis may prove
a bit premature in both cases.
Gehrig. however, is beginning to
act ike a permanent institution.
Playing in two-thirds of the Yam.
kee games. he hit 81 home runs in
1895, his first season as regular.
In the first six games on the
road this spring he S0f five

ball hit the top Of the centerfield
fence and dropped back In the
playing field. According to the
latest averages compiled, he Is
batting over $50, and they say
most Of his hits have Travelled
faster than the latest scandal.
Making due allowance for the
professional optimism peculiar to
news scavengers. there is no doubt
at all that Gehrig hits a long ball.
He has been q hume run hitter
since his high school days and
when the Yanks turned him out to
Hartford in 1873, he led the East
orn League with something like 30.

Heimach has value beyond pitch

BASKET BALL SECRETS
When in Possession of Ball.
BY Sol Metzg,

A boxer has to watch an opponents
eyes. One reason is that every boxer
is inclined more or less To telegraph
his blows before he actually starts
them. A basket ball player in posses
sion of the ball does the same thing
instinctively. Therefore, a good rule
TO follow is not TO look into an oppo-
nent's eyes when you have the ball
as you are more likely than not to tip
him off as 10 what you are going TO do.
Keep your eyes on his feet. That
keeps him in doubt as TO your inten-
ton. The illustration on the left
shows the player in possession of the
ball using his eyes correctly. The
player on the right is looking his OPP
ponent in the eyes. His next move is
likely to be guessed by this opponent,
and therefore more easily blocked.
