win IndividunI Honors

Yankee and Pirate players took down
quite a few individual honors during
the 1926 major league season; more
so, perhaps, than usually fall to the
lot of single clubs.
Babe Ruth, for instance, led in home
run hitting with ,wallops. The Bamb
had a tremendous lead on AL Simmons,
his nearest rival. Simmons poled out
but 10. Ruths AZ was IL shy of his
big league mark Of SO, established in
1921.
The Bamb also topped the Johnson
ian circuit in scoring runs Ruth
brought in 139 tallies in 152 trays,
slightly less than one to the game.
Gehrig, a teammate, ranked second to
Ruth with 1876 in 1856 tilts. Earl Combs
another, came in fourth with 1l3. Thus
the Yankees boasted three of the four
run n-scoring leaders, feat quite out
of the ordinary.
Gehrig added another honor to the
Yankee list by showing the way in
three-base hits. He crashed out 90
Gehrig, along with Tony Lazzeri, Hug
gins second baseman, played in every
one of the teams 1856 games They
were two of a handful of players not
missing game all season.

Cuyler and Waner

Hazen Cuyler and Paul Waner, Pitts
burgh's youthful stars, duplicated the
Ruth -Gehrig feat in the National
league. Cuyler, as was the case in
1925, led the run scoring. crowd with
112 in 157 games. Waner was second
with 101 in 144.
Cuyler also took down Max Carey S
old base-stealing honors. Cuyler swiped
35 cushions during the chase,> leading
"Sparky'' Adams of the Cubs by seven
Adams played in three fewer games
than did the Pirate.
Waner hit 1876 and really is entitled
to the old league batting crown, having
played considerably more games than
Bressler, Hargrave, Williams and some
of the others who topped him in the
averages Waner was at bat 535 times
Bressler 29S, Hargrave 326 and Will
liams S36.
Waner's all-round showing, by the
way, was one of the high spots of the
season. 1t was the young stars first
year in big time company. He certainly
made good with a vengeance.
Cuyler played in 157 games, not being
out of the Pittsburgh lineup for an
entire contest all season. More than
that, he took part in more battles than
any player i'm either league.

Pitchers show way

The Yanks and. Pirates also produced
stars in the pitching departments of
the pastime.
The Yanks had the second highest
hurler in the American in Herb Pen
mock, frail southpaw. Pennock turned
in % triumphs He ranked next to
George Uhle bf Cleveland in victories.
Uhle reachednhthe quite remarkable
figure of 27-femarkable nowadays, at
least. Urban Shocker, another Yankee,
came in third{with 49,.
In the National league, Ray Kremer
and Lee Meadows of the Pirates were
two of the best. Each won 20 games,
the largest number dished up by any
gunner in the Heydler organization.
Kremer topped them all in the per-
centage column, losing but six. Mead
ows dropped nine, finishing fourth in
the averages.
Summed up, the Yankees and Pirates
produced quite a cluster of individual
leaders during the season, with Ruth,
Gehrig, Cuyler and Waner pulling
down double honors.

VITALISSUE.
STONE SAYS
Wet Candidate For II. s. Sen
atOr Makes Keynote
Speech at Napoleon

"Prohibition is the vital issue in
the coming campaign. not only in our
state, but IN many states of the
union declared {. =. Stone Of Fargo
IN his keynote speech at Dashley's
hall in Napoleon last night; opening
his campaign as progressive Repu-
blican candidate for the United States
senatorship. Mr.. Stone is the candi-
date of the Better Citizenship Associa-
ton of North Dakota, which has for
its slogan. eve believe in 100 per
cent law enforcement, are 100 per
cent anti-saloon, and are in favor Of
modification Of the Nolstead act to
permit the manufacture. sale and
possession of light wines and beer
under government control"
"The principle of prohibition is
wrong. both from a legal and moral
standpoint, along with the argument
that the people do not want prohibi-
ton. and an unpopular and oppres-
sive law cannot be enforced" Mr..
Stone continued. "Prohibition has
been proven a failure inasmuch as
it does not prohibit the use Of strong
liquors, but has increased the usage
OF beverages of inferior quality, hav-
ing devastating influence on the
health and morals Of our people.
Would Rewritc Statutes
THE attempt to enforce the Vol
! stead act is producing brand of
citizenship which is dangerous to
the coming generation. believe
that good citizenship requires strict
observance and obedience of all laws
and stand for the rewriting Of the
penal statutes. eliminating those
which have been found impracticable
81 believe those Of our people who
wish their beer and light wines are
certainly entitled to it. and in this
event there would be fewer spending
valuable time in jails or hospitals
Contending that prohibition had a
direct effect on the farmers of North
Dakota. in doing away with market
for certain grains, Mr.. Stone said: BE
fore the Volstead act went into effect
we Of North Dakota always had a
ma arket---a worthwhile market--for
barley. corn and rye. Wheat and
flax are now only grains having a
market, with usually an over produc-
tion of wheat Those Of you wishing
good market for all grains and who
want better land values should vote
. for this important issue, the mOdi-
| fication Of the Nolstead act. permit
ting the manufacture, sale and posses
sion of light wines and beer under
strict government supervision.
Temperance Impossible
1.-THE Volstead act was thrust upon
US. not by a majority Of the people
| but by an organized minority of re-
formers, during war time. The only
! people really interested in enforce
| ing the present prohibition laws are
the paid prohibition workers. boot
leggers and fanatics. Although
believe strongly in temperance in all
things, the Volstead act makes tenn
| perance in regard to drink impos-
sible."
Mr.. Stone spoke before large au-
dience, the hall being crowded with
people from Napoleon and surround
ing territory. j. H. Schatz Of Napo-
leon was chairman Of the meeting.
