ATTING
Trihesmen Expected to Show
improved Scoring Power
-1925 Averages Cited.
BY Eddie Ash

After perusal of the 1926 batting
averages OF the American Associac
ton It is apparent Ownie Bush is
building a potential run-making club
for the coming campaign, providing.
Of course, the swatters swat up to
previous form.
Trying to get q run over the plate
last year was like pulling teeth In
sofar as the Tribesmen were con-
cerned, and as result the Hoosier'
pitchers nearly always were forced
to twirl alright ball In order to pro-
tect a narrow lead.
Last Years Records
The Indians of 1925 were next to
last in scoring runs, but allowed OPP
ponents the fewest number Of mark
ers. The team was second in field
ing, but sixth In batting.
Summing the records, therefore,
indicates 1t was good pitching and
fine fielding that enabled the
Hoosiers to finish second In the
race.
This season, however, more bat
ting strength has been obtained
without weakening the defense. and
If the twirlers deliver there will be
many happy days at Washington
Park for the home fans. Pros
pective regulars (not including
pitchers) lined up by Bush, for 1925
and their 1925 batting figures follow:

unemployment in Mexico but rather a

department states that" one of the
factors that has acted against Mexican
produce in foreign markets is that
the Mexican producer has not yet ac>
customed himself to standards which
are demanded abroad.
Or. Manuel Gamio, former subsecre"
tary of public instruction, has returned
to Mexico after an absence OF a year

a study of living conditions of the
Mexicans after they have returned
from the United States to their homes,
He will also study the regions from
which the greater part of the Mexi-
can immigrants come.
