Sunny Jim checked in with Al doubles in 1925 to lead the league and also hit 21 homers and l2 three baggers for a seasons aver age of .367. His 40 doubles gave him the league leadership in 1926, and his 19 homers placed him sec ond in homers in season eli maxed by the ardinals' victory in the pennant race and the world series. Last year Bottomley drove out 19 home runs and 15 triples, finishing fifth and second, respec- lively.
 As for Hornsby, his record com prises just about one cattine championship after another. And this year may be one of his best.
 He is well on his way to the fourth 400 year. He led the league with 42 homers in 1922 and also was first in doubles with 46. In homers and doubles he has been first twice and four times, respec- lively; he finished second n hom- CTS three times.
 Hornsby's drive for additional batting and distance hitting hon. ors may be hampered this year by his new managerial duties, if precedent prevails. When he pi- loted the Cardinals to the worlds championship in 1926 his batting fell off to .316 for the season, his lowest percentage in nine years.
 Another three months will tell how bossing the Braves will affect him.

COMBINING BASEBALL AND POLITICS

Richard F. Kinsella, for 20 years scout for the New York Giants, was delegate at large from Hi nois to the Democratic National Convention at Houston. Dick kinsella, as he is known to thou j. ands of baseball fans, lives at Springfield when he is at home Most of his time is spent in tray cling in the minors in search Of likely talent to be placed under the tutelage of John J. MeGraw at the Polo Grounds and points West when the Giants are on tour
 MT. kinsella killed two birds with one stone at Houston He faithfully attended the sessions of the convention but at the same time fulfilled his obligation to Stoneham, McGraw X Co.,, by go- ing to a Texas League baseball game every afternoon. Please make it clear" he said, ''if you write anything about my attend anee at the convention that l went to the ball game every day" There was no hope that he could un- cover any stars for the Giants on the Houston Club, owned by the St. Louis Cardinals but he gave careful once over to the visi- tors.
 Dick kinsella in his long serv- i've as Scout has sent tte New York club some of it's brightest stars. He was responsible for t.ie advancementyof Larry Doyle. Rube Marquard, Chief Myers, an many others. Perhaps his most shin ing monument on the current cdi- ton of the Giants is Travis Jack son captain of the club ani short stop extraordinary.
 SCRAMBLE FOR TALENT
 With Houston the half pennant winner of the Texas League the other clubs in the Lone Star cir cult, to say nothing of Shreveport. a part of Louisiana geographically but Texas territory in baseball, are making a bid for the second half honors and a chance to w.n the pennant in play-off by grab ping every unattached ball player in sight.
 Trades, purchases and signing of free agents go on apace and the Cardinal farm, able to coas. to the first half honors, may find a rockier road to travel as the sum mer goes on.
 Houston with a. new ha,f million dollar plant got a good start to- ward paying for the equipment by drawing approximately 125,000 ad missions for the first half. fast seasons total paid admissions were 142,0O0 so 1928 will be big improvement at the gate.

 When Jim hit St. Louis in 1923 he found Hornsby in the midst of battling rampage that carried him to a new National League rec ord for all time-the league batting championship of four consecutive years.
 But Jim started taking the old toe hold, and the first year he was second in doubles with 34 and finished second in batting to Hornsby, the league pace setter, with a mark of .371. His IA homers and 31 doubles in 1924 got him nothing but seasons hating average of .316.

RAPID GROWTH
MARKS HISTORY
OF FAIR STORE
Traugott Brothers Brings
Establishment to High
Rank.

Few department stores in the
state have experienced the rapid
growth of The Fair store, 31l-325
West Washington street, which to-
day ranks in the forefront of estab-
lishments which cater to the ma
jority of the needs of Indianapolis
people.
From its humble beginning in
1905, when 1t was organized by Louis
and Leo Traugott, in a one-story
building having little more than
1000 square feet of floor space, the
store today has three full floors and
basement and occupies $4,000 square
feet of store space.
The Fair stores first location was
at 417-419 West Washington street.
In the first five years of its ex-
istence, business developed so rapid
ly that it was necessary to triple
the capacity and six Storerooms
were obtained by the brothers and
remodeled into single store at ALL
421 West Washington street.
Expansion Is Necessary
Starting with mems and boys
furnishings, it was decided to add
wonnen's and children's clothing.
Another ten years saw a still
greater business and the necessity
for expansion again confronted the
brothers.
They erected a modern store of
fireproof construction at 31l-317
West Washington street. The store
was three stories high with a large
basement.
Honesty and fair dealing had
their reward. The business con-
tinued to grow and in 1923, eighteen
years after the organization of their
company, the brothers found it
necessary again to expand, more
store space was absorbed, and the
second and third floors were in
creased to correspond. Property adj
joining the west Of the store was alb
sorbed in the extension.
Standing Is High
Few other stores in the state have
attained the community standing of
the Fair store.
When it became possible to ac-
quire for the West Washington
street district the Old Ira Is build
ing, the brothers sacrificed an
enormous electric sign on the roof
that their section might acquire the
improvement.
The store has been equipped in
the most modern manner. All
merchandise is of the highest type
and the large show windows display
nationally advertised articles of I'M
questioned worth.
Holding fast to the fact that in
tegrity in business is the finest
corner stone, the brothers are ex-
pecting that the next few years
will bring need for still greater ex-
pansion.

wheat values today in the early

Liverpool wheat quotations were
firmer, and houses with foreign

Opening unchanged to 37sc up Chi
cago wheat later scored advances

Provisions were easier.
Wheat advanced quickly at times

turns at Winnipeg as we'll as at Liv-
erpool having q noticeable bullish
effect. Surprise was especially ex-
pressed that such action Of the Win
nipeg market in the face of record
deliveries Of wheat at interior
points in the prairie provinces. It
was pointed out, however, that to a
large extent deliveries represent
merely a transfer from the hands
of individual farmers to the hands
of the Canadian growers pool.
Corn market advances today were
largely traceable to price upturns
in wheat. There were also advices
current, however, that because Of
shortage of old corn the new crop is
now being fed extensively in places,
and that this is facilitated by the
fact that thousands of acres are al

New York, Sept. 19.-lR-Waves
Of buying and selling alternately
swept through the stock market TO-
day, with price fluctuations running
as high as 5 and 6 points.
The nervous activity Of the mar
ket apparently reflected renewed ap-
prehension over the money situation
BY the rise in call rates from the re-
newal OF Z per cent first to Z 1-2 and
then to per cent. Banks had called
upwards Of $3O,OOO,OOO in loans by
noon and in early afternoon prices
generally began working toward
lower levels.
Some consideration appeared to
have been given commission house
advices respecting tightening Of
speculative commitments, but the
selling did not deter extensive. pool
operations. These were most effec-
tive in wide assortment of stocks
selling between $50 and $50 per
share, and many Of these, previously
neglected, rose 2 to 6 points to new
high prices for the year. Among
them were Kelsey Hayes wheel,
which moved up Ia points to 43

points to 23 3-4, also a new peak.
Gains of 2 to points were re-
corded by st. Joseph lead, American
