nj vidual batting championships
VI in the major leagues have
1 almost been lost sight of this
season in the exploitation Of
the home run. and the general fever of
interest in the four base clouters.
Babe Ruth, or any other player, may
make SO home runs in a season and
win but 10 games with them. The
Woodworking chap who places his hits
here and there, batting with scientific
intent and helping his team every day
by his skill, got a lot credit not so
very long ago, but in many instances
he now is overlooked because he is
standing in the shadow of the home
run kings.
lie things go we'll with Paul Waner
of the Pittsburgh team. he is likely to
be the National League batting cham
pion. That delightful fate was pre-
dicted for him last Winter when his
skill was forecast for 1927. Paul is
leading his league today. batting at a
1856 clip, and of his 1872 hits in 80
games, only six have been home runs
Waner Excels Hornsby.
Rogers Hornsby is steaming up more
than he was, but he must, go far to
catch Waner, who is a better batter.
That Is the plain truth of that COM
parison. Paul Waner is one of the
greatest young players developed in
years and his brother Lloyd, also OF
the Pirates, treads SO closely upon his
heels that the National League should
kneel and give thanks for having &C
uuired these two Oklahoma boys. The
American League could have had them.
II would be shame to tell the names
. of the American League clubs that
could have had them. However, eight
clubs are on the list, so it may hardly
be necessary to recite the names.
There are other players of the Pitts
burgh team who will string along with
Paul Waner, but they are not likely
to catch him. He has 1872 hits now.
and he is apt to have more than 200

Contrary to expectations, thero was decline in the production of the herring fisheries, especially in the Afognak and Prince Will liam Sound districts. In south. eastern Alaska there was no ap- preeiable decrease in the supply but the fish were smaller than usual.

 "The produes.on O. ,he i.alibYt fisheries increasod 31 per cent over the Production of 1925. This increase is attributed to the fact that more boats were engaged in fishing.

Miller and Wisehart conferred in
the State superintendent Office
Saturday afternoon. Their state

loyal support and cooperation. He

DR.. Mcdowell Issues a
Strong Labor Day
Appeal.

Recognizing industrialism as "the
most dominant factor in modern
life," and insisting that "the time
has come foc the Christian Church
to take a definite responsibility for
creating 9 spirit in industry that
will insure continued harmony be-
tween employers and employees" DR..
John Mcdowell, secretary of the
Presbyterian Board Of National
Missions, today issued a Labor day
message addressed not only to the
10000 ministers of the Presbyterian
Church, but also to the 100000 lay
members.
Secretary Mcdowell considers
that "the entire future of our ma
tional progress and happiness is
bound up in the success of this I'M
dertaking on the part of the
church," and he adds that eff the
church endeavors to evade this re-
sponsibility or ignore it, it will lose,
in my judgment, the largest oppor-
tunity 1t has ever had in promoting
the kingdom of God here on this

land Tell Story.

BB Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The
New York Times carried the follow
ing editorial in regard to Warren T.
McCray:
Seldom does such chance for
moral recovery come to a man as
that of Warren T. McCray, once
Governor of Indiana and lately
Federal prisoner for using the mails
with intent to defraud. His early
career marked a steady rise in
wealth, influence and popularity,
until his party carried the State
election and made him Governor.
While in Office he was indicted
for a get rich quick scheme, was
convicted and sentenced to ten years
in Atlanta Penitentiary-a sentence
now cut down two-thirds under the
Federal parole. During his term the
Ku-Klux Khan gained control of the
Republican party in Indiana, and
the administration Of his successor,
Governor Jackson, has been marked
by that control and by scandals
arising from it and from the con-
viction of the Khan leader, D. G.
Stephenson, on charge Of murder.
Mr.. McCray returns to his State
to find it's politics smelling of cor
ruption and its official prosecutors
intent upon investigating charges
made by Stephenson, of which the
former Governor must have first
hand knowledge.
Among the accusations made
against Governor Jackson's intimate
Khan cabinet is that members of it,
when the indictment of Governor
McCray made it necessary for his
son-in-law to retire from the Office
of public prosecutor at Indianapolis,
offered the Governor $4,000 in
counsel fees and implied friendliness
in the courts II he would name an
official recommended by them.
Instead, the Governor named Will
liam H. Remy. Since then Mr.. Remy
and two associates have been delv-
ing into documents purported to

POWER WAR TO
SWEEP NATION
Congressman Warns of
Move by Big Companies.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. S.
Private power interests are prepar-
ing to spend millions" in nation
wide propaganda to block the Gov
ernments participation in hydro
electric development.
So declared Congressman Phil
Swing of San Diego on his return
from a tour of Government reclama-
ton works as member of the House
special committees on reclamation
and flood control.
II have in my possession proof
that the private power corporations
are preparing to spend millions in
an educational campaign reaching
from coast to coast" he said. This
campaign will reach into luncheon
clubs and even into the schools,
under the pretense of heralding the
electrical age.
Its purpose, will be to discourage
Government participation in power
development, and to prevent the
Government from building power
works with pending reclamation
and flood control projects.
IT do not advocate Government
monopoly of the rower industry, but
there are certain. projects wherein
the Government might be forced to
participate in power development to
secure the best economic results
and prevent waste.
1.-The power group and certain
farmers who want the closed shop
in their industry to prevent new
land development, will lead the
fight" said Swing.
