First Stacker of Yankees Carried Off Honors,
 Amer. League

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Lou Geh- rig, hard hitting first sacker of the New York Yankees, carried off the American League honors ln 1880 when it came to driving in runs in platoons. Columbia Lou twice drive in eight runs in single game, five runs three time and four runs four times. Earl Averill of the Indians and Carl Reynolds of the White Sox were the only others to drive in eight runs in a contest. Four all told. A year ago no American League batsman drove in more than seven.
 Leon G n, another slugger, whose initials are "L. G." ranked next to Gehrig in wholesaling in pounding runs across the plate, Goose" had no eights, sevens nor sizes to his credit, but he had five lives and six fours. M
 Al Simmons was the only Amari- can Leaguer to score five runs in a game during the 1929 campaign, thus tying the American League record. In 1880 four players turned the trick Simmons again, Earl Ccmbs and Tony Lazerri of the Yankees and Bib Falk of the In-. dians. Combs and Jimmy Fox each scored fOur rllns twica Hoe Rolav Jce Cron.n, Lyn Lary and Reynolds each once.
 No American Leaguer tied the record of six hits in a game, but there were four who made five sin five times at bat, Simmons, Falk, Ed Morgan of Cleveland and Joe Cronin of Washington. Earl Webb of Boston and Carl Reynolds each grabbed five safeties in six times at bat.

Not the least of the reasons why Ralph Irvine Sasse turned in a great season for his first term of responsibility as head coach at West Point were his modesty and his concentration on the task in hand.
 Major Sasse wrote no high-pow- cred articles for the newspapers or the magazines. He broadcast no speeches in the interests of any commercial project or chamber of commerce. He picked no All American teams.
 In short he had considered he had enough to do as Army's head coach, plus other duties at West Point, without roaming into the press boxes and broadcasting sta- tions. Sasse believes the coach's place is on the side Hines.
 Eddie Casey, Harvard's new head football coach, has journalistic background, whether or not he goes in for the by-products of gridiron prominence. Eddie worked his way through Harvard as campus corre- spondent for the Boston Traveller,

May 16, 1894 It was the hub of track and field athletes in the early days when Jack Moakley, Keen Fitzpatrick, Walter Christy were in their youthful prime.
 Bill Cunningham, sports editor of the Boston Post and pretty fair center himself at Dartmouth in ye olden days, heaps lot of praise on Harvard's Ben Ticknor, two- time All-American.
 Just as Florida connotes sun shine, green apples suggest equa- torial anguish, lobster thermidor waves in midnights and music, Ca pone means machine guns, and so forth and so forth, the name Tick nor, from this date henceforth and forever, means HOW TO PLAY CENTER, in capital letters," writes Cunningham.
 Speaking. of centers, clark ShaughneSSy tells me he mas never seen a better pivot man than Rob- erts of Tulane. the All-Southern choice This boy, says Clark, was all over the field making tackles and had a lot to do with the way Tulane manhandled Georgia at New Orleans.

Dorothy Dix and Love Nests

to the American newspapers. She is correct. When the
nesters are caught it is a losing game. When they re-
main uncaught or undiscovered it is a losing game for
those who form the alliance.
A New Jersey senator was known as "the tiger boy"
He was a leader Of his party. He had an interesting wife
and three lovely children. He was on the road to the
governorship. lie was a banker high in financial circles.
He was monarch of all he surveyed. He planted a lovely
young creature on the payroll of the state. Then he
planted her in a lovely apartment in the city of New York.
He was a churchman on Sunday and a player in dizzy
places after the evening shadows had fallen. Now the
love nest has beer broken. He was forced to resign his
seat in the senate. His lovemate shot him in a drunken
brawl. She has gone home to mother and will not be
prosecuted. AS for the wife of 'the tiger boy" who had
lost his love nest and his lovemate, his senatorshlp, his
pickings as a powerful politician, she said that ne was
foolish and loving and easily led astray and from the bot
tom of her heart she forgave him and welcomed him home.

There seems to be in certain lam
lies a tendency toward what is call
cd allergy, a form OF Sensitivity
whereby the taking into the body
OF certain forms OF protein results
IN symptoms that are known as
alergic symptoms. For example.
hay fever and asthma may run in
iamilies-one member OF a family
may have hay fever, another
asthma, another may break out
with eruptions OF hives on eating
certain foods.
When both parents suffer from
some form OF sensitivity, there Is
a likelihood that at least one-half
their children will probably develop
some form OF senSitivity during
life. These allergic manifestations
may skip one generation and the
mother and father be free. whereas
the children display various types

dren developed such a condition
within the first 10 years OF life.
The nature Of the sensttivity de-
veloped. as pointed out by DR.. War
rem T. Vaughan, depends largely
on the conditions in which one
lives. Thus people who live in the
British Isles develop hay fever
chiefly from exposure to grasses.
while in the United States most
cases Of hay fever are associated
with the pollens OF the ragweed.
In this country the concentration

more of the American population

Miners and bakers were found TO

Robbing of Churches

The three armed men who stole $3.50 that had been
collected in the poor boxes at the St. Hyacinth Roman
Catholic church in Chicago, deserve to have some such
punishment befall them as happened to Sapphira and
Ananias. Sapphire and Ananias, who professed to be
giving the Lord the entire amount of money for which
they had sold a field, were struck dead for lying, in the
%scriptural story. They were guilty Of stealing when they
broke their promise. II is just as wrongful to steal money
from a secular institution, of course, as from a religious.
But the $3.50 probably represented the sacrifices of par
ishoners in order to help those who were in need. In a
sense it was sacred. And it took not a bold thief, but a
cowardly one, to run away with it.

To comprehend the background of the current trou-
bic in Manchuria, it is necessary first of all to realize that
Agriculture in the Orient is by no means the depressed
and discouraged industry that it is in the United States.
China and Japan suffer from overproducton. Their
people often go hungry, not because of a business depres-
sion but because it is hard to raise enough food for them
on the land available. And Manchuria is, potentially, one
of the worlds garden spots. It's soil and climate are much
like those Of the American middle west. 1t represents a
fertile granary for hungry millions.
Recognizing that fact, one can more easily under
stand why both China and Japan are trying to get possess
sion of the country. China is always hungry; Japan is
always looking for room for her surplus millions. Their
collision was inevitable-and, by the same token, it will
not easily be settled.

NEW YORK.-One Of the pet
cliches OF writers describing New

Yet they all remain anonymous.
Instead, we who write columns
about New York are prone TO tell

The other night, I got a refresh
ing lesson: 1t was at a first night
performance OF ar important play.
During the intermisSion OF this
premiere, a half hundred assorted
young folk, with note books and
programs in their hands rushed
about spotting the celebrities and
begging for an autograph.
Most OF them were girls, aged
from 10 70 Is.
They had waited in the street
during an entire act, fearing that
they might miss the opportunity 10
get certain signatures. This bit OF
writing on a scrap of paper, for
some reason or other, meant q lot
to youngsters who took their pen
scratching home and showed them
TO friends and families. And got a
big kick out OF this secondhand
contact.
