EiASY TO WHIEF

The free-swingers, the slugger-type
batsmen, are the easiest to set down
on strikes. With them they either d's
or don't. and, when they fail to hit
safely, they often are struck out.
Take the three famous sluggers OF
the New York Yankees-Ruth, Meusel
and Gehrig. The Babe whitfield 68
times last season, Meusel 55 and Geh-
rig 40.
other free-swingers like McManus
of ST. Louis, Goslin of Washington,
Cuyler of Pittsburgh, Hartnett of Chi
cagd and Kelly of New York all were
struck out SO or more times during the
season.
A change Of pace on the part of the
pitcher, which few sluggers can adapt
their style to, in part explains the
many strikeouts by players who get
distance to their drives.

CROWN PRINCES
SONS NOW ENTER
FAMOUS SCHOOL

BERLIN, June 5. Wilhelm and
Louis Ferdinand, sons of the former
Crown Prince Frederick william
have entered the University of Bonn,
the traditional alma mater of the
Hohenzollerns.
Wilhelm will. study law, while
Louis Ferdinand will take a purely
cultural letters and science course.
In the matricuation papers was the
question as to their fathers occupa-
ton. The youths designated the ex
crown prince as "Gutsbesitzer" which
means estate owner or country squire.
Frederick william said some time
ago that he would send his sons to
Bonn, but had the allies continued
their occupation of the Cologne zone
he would have insisted upon their
attending Heidelberg or Leipsic uni
yersity.

INTERESTING FACTS

A glance at last years strike- out
column reveals the rather interesting
fact that Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker
two of the games greatest batsmen,
fell victims to the wiles of the Ameri-
can League pitchers only IL times
Sam Rice, Washington star, famed on
only 10 occasions.
Johnny McInnis of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, who shared first base with
George Grantham, always difficult
player to strike out, was famed only
once in the 155 times he came to bat
in the National League last season.
Yet on his very first trip to the plate
in the world series, facing Walter
Johnson at his best, "Stuffy" looked
over three fast ones with hardly time
to. get his bat off his shoulder.
He struck out twice in the series in
IA trips to the plate, while he was a
strikeout victim only once during the
season. Peculiar.
Aside from the record of having
been struck out only once during the
1925 season, %Stuffy' McInnis boasts
another unusual performance. During
an entire season of play at first base
for Cleveland, he made only one error
and that an undeserved one.

FARM RELIEF HELD TEST

If President Handles Problem Salts

TO show a spirit of cooperation for

credit.
The President is not as strong in
the agricultural West as he might
be- Still there is no great ill feeling
against him. The West has always
been with him in his crusade for
economy Many farmers think the
President has not done for the farm
ing industry what he might do and
what so urgently needs doing and
will have to be done.
But the November elections in the
Middle West or Southwest can hardly
be construed as a distinct protest
against the administration. The de-
feats in Missouri and Oklahoma are
due to local causes; in Missouri, to
the liuuor question; in Oklahoma, to
factional difference among Republic
cans.
Need of Western Support.
And yet the plain fact is that the
salvation Of the Coolidge administra-
ton and it's best hope depend abso-
luteiy on the agricultural West; on
the working out of a farm relief"
program which shall be acceptable to
this large group of producing states.
The condition Of the farmers is not
improving. For the last three montns
all reports Of the United States De-
partmen. of Agriculture have shown
the buying power of the farmers dol
lar to be less than a year ago, and
have shown farm prices on the de-
cline.
The farm problem exists. 1t 10 tre-
mendously real. And 1t Is a n>uonal
problem; for American prosperity
cannot be maintained without a we'll
to-do farming industry. Something
has been done toward relieving 1t, but
the situation of the industry is more
acute then ever.
This is the problem of the Coolidge
administration If the adm. nistration
can meet the emergency the country
will rise and call it blessed. But this
will be the test.

Broadly speaking, one must perceive
that for once the British tradition of
''muddling through" has not worked.
The ''muddling" has been general, but
there has been no getting through. and
while Britain has suffered a colossal
economic and financial blow, nothing
has been gained to balance the
losses. While Germany, too, the i'm

organized it's system, just as during

while Germany, France, Belgium and
