" OR the first time in the history
IL of the school, two major basket
ball series will be staged at
i Western High this season, the
freshmen competing in loop of
their own rather than in the inter-
class games with the teams from the
sophomore, junior and senior ranks.
A decision to this effect was reached
by Belle Meyers, physical training di-
rector, in view Of the large number OF
freshmen turning out for basket ball
and the disparity in size between them
and their older opponents.
Ten freshmen teams started out,
each with the hope Of being chosen
for the major series. The number has
been boiled down to four teams now,
all Of which will compete for class hon.
orS. In addition. new recruits will be
given chance to try for team places
from the classes Of mid-year freshmen
coming into the school next week,
Western Is the only high school in the
city which gives the new freshmen
berths on class teams, with the pos
sible exception Of Business, where some
OF the youngsters are tried out for Sec
tional squads. ...a
Sophomores, juniors and seniors at
Western each have three teams or
ganized and are busy with preliminary
workouts. Activities have been slowed
up by illness both among the students
and the faculty, Mrs. Annie Trennis
one of the directors, has been on the
absentee list since the new year, but
is expected to be back in time to as
sist in running of the interclass series
Freshmen have an additional incen-
tive to win their series in the promise
made them by Miss Meyers that the
victorious team could challenge any Of
the upper-class teams in school to g
post-series game and. II they win, they
may go on challenging teams until
some one defeats them.

Manush Has His Eye on Batting C1o,un
EXPECTS TO SLUG
AS HE DID IN 1928
Barely Beaten for Title by
GosIin Last Year, Heinie
to Point for Fray.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

r YEINIE MANUSH is going to the
Southland training camp this
month determined to lay his
Il i lines for hot battle for the
batting championship Of the
American League in 1929. The star
batsman of the st. Louis Browns made
a great fight in 1923 and just missed
tying Goose Goslin of washington for
the championship by one hit.
If Manush had made 242 hits instead
of 241 last season, he would have had
the same percentage as Goslin. The
Goose wasn't accommodating enough to
lop one hit off his own total, so the
best Heinie could get was second hon
ors.
Manush will have some other heavy
stickerS to contend with in 1929 besides
Goslin. AL Simmons Of the Athletics
thinks he Is on the way to batting
championship. Babe Ruth would like
to be batting champion again. Lou
Gehrig has a healthy chance to win
the honor. Harry Heilmann may get
back to his batting form of other days.
Tony Lazzeri Is climbing.
Looks for Fine Season.
Manush thinks he will be able to do
as we'll in 1929 and possibly better than
he did in 1928. Dan Howley, manager
of the st. Louis Browns, doesn't care
whether Manush wins the batting
championship, but hopes he will hit
the ball like he did last season.
Odd story about ManuSh in 1928,
He reported to the Browns at West
Palm Beach, Fla, with his arm in a
sling. He had fallen over fence
and landed on his arm instead of on
his head. When he arrived in Florida
it was an even wager whether he would
be able to start the season. Some
said the Browns would fail to get any
thing out of him all year.
After he had been at West Palm
Beach o few days he began to try to
bat When he first arrived he did
nothing but run in the field and try
to catch with one hand. The minute
that his arm was freed from the sling
he was another ball player, and he came
on fast. Those who had feared he was
out for good were dumbfounded by the
quickness with which he picked up.
Starts Slamming in June.
He started to bat in championship
form, with a possibility. of climbing
very high, about the end Of June. He
did lot more work with the bat
than Goslin, because he was in more
games. Goslin had time with his
arm. The Goose played 135 games
and was at bat 435 times with 173 hits
Manush played in 154 games, the total
of the season, was at bat 638 times and
made 241 hits. A base on balls that
knocked of time at bat would have
helped Manush, and so would another
hit.
The fact that batting championships
can hinge on single hit, or single
base on balls, is one reason why there
should be intelligent and expert scor-
ing in base ball If the records are
to be made worth much. Giving a
hit for the fun of the thing, which
has been the case when the question
Of personal judgment entered into a
decision, is neither good base ball nor
good scoring.

UP that has brought two successive
titles to the Fifth and K streets estab-
lishment, and which has contrived to
keep In front most Of the present
season.
Glenn Woistenholme. the big an
Choir man, is no longer a member Of
the team. John Blick has drafted him
for the Arcadia team. sending Red
Megaw, late of Richmond, to fill the
gap In Capt. Hap BURNERS lineup.
Glenn has been having an of season
after getting OF to good start. Blick
believes the change will do him good.
The Arcadia manager, who recently
leased the alleys at Fourteenth street
and Park road, from the Arcadia COM
pany, has appointed Glenn as his chief
assistant, removing him from Conven-
ton Hall.
A further move to strengthen the
Arcadia team Is seen In the signing Of
Burton Parsons, one of the high scor-
ers In The Evening Star tournament.
Parsons has been shooting sensationally
at Arcadia this season. Only yester-
day he toppled $50 pins after rolling
into the sixth box without a mark.
Blick promises the youngster will be a
sensation even among the Districts
selects.
It is more than rumor that Hap
Burtner Is considering hanging up his
bowling shoes after this season. The
Convention Hall team captain is cred
tied with the statement that he plans
to retire from combat after the close
OF the current campaign. but his mates
are not taking his attitude seriously.

TURKEY ANXIOUS
 ID JOIN IN LEAGUE
Newspaper Outlines Plans of
 Young Republic

Angora, Turkey, Nov. 1 Pl-1f there ever Is to be a United States of Europe, Turkey wants to be in it, even though her capital city is be- yond the geographic borders of Europe, far out in Asia Minor Moreover her interest in M. Briand's projected plan is so keen that she wants not only to be a part of any European federation that is formed but also to have an active part in shaping it.
 i These desires of the young re- public of Mustapha Renal have | been made audible by an outstand- ing official spokesman, Mahmoud Bey, deputy, intimate friend of Kemal, and editor-in chief of the official newspaper "Milliett."
 Uses Much Space
 Returning from Athens where he represented Turkey at the recent peace congress, Mahmoud' Bey has been devoting columns in his paper to Turkeys stand on the questions of peace and of the United States of Europe,
 "We Turks applaud the idea of the federation of people, he writes. "A federation which will unite all the nations of Europe on a perfect basis of equality. and which will suppress the hatred and conflict ing interests which now divide vii orti icin4ta ly in the forthcoming congress of all the Balkan states agreed upon by the recent peace congress at Athens, for she hopes that this Balkan con- ference may bring into actuality a United States of the Balkans which may serve as a prelude and an eN- ample to d / greater subsequent United States of Europe.
 Turkey is not 'Asiatic.' It would be unjust to exclude from the Euro Dean family Turkey which is ap- plying with remarkable decision ant l profound sincerity a fundamental program of reforms which have ) crowned with success her political
 moral, and social revolution. The fact that Turkey maintains friendly : relations with certain Oriental pow : CTS does not mean that she hersel t should be considered Oriental, fo, 3 with occidental powers she has alst = established friendly relations of ever
 vaster import"
 Explains Nations Attitude l Mahmoud Bey goes on to eXplail t that Turkeys non participation t' S date in the League of Nations is no e due to any prohibitory contractua r enga gements nor to a lack of falti v in the league itself, but to the fac
 that she has not vet been offered ; = role therein satisfactory to her de y sires. Turkey is especially interest S ed in the league and in the kelloG.
