Two names sure to be more conspicuous in the national tennis ranking list at the close of the 1892 campaign, are Clifford s. Sutter of New Orleans, one of the finest of young American stylists, and Lester Stoefen, the rangy CaE ifornian.
 Both flashed sensationally in the national championships at Foress Hills, especially Sutter, whose grandstand battle with Ellsworth Vines, furnished one of the dra- matic high-spots of the whole sea- son.
 Sutter has been Rational inter collegiate honors as a color-bearer for Tulane University. He first crashed the first ten" in 1930- when he landed fifth place but dropped a match in 1881 as his rise was checked. He bounded back up the ladder of prominence so rapidly in home courts this year that he will have to be con- sidered with our internationaliSts in distributing the topmost places in the ranking list.
 Winner AIlISon, who was only ninth on the 1881 list also is sure of a much higher rating on the basis of his fine all-around rec ord since spring, when he handed Vines several setbacks.
 On the other hand, Johnny Doeg, champion in 1880, will drop out of the first ten altogether and George Lott also will slip several notches below the No. 3 position he won last year

NEW YORK, Sept 26. = Babe Ruth smashed the home run rec ord again in 1927, lifting it to it's present level of 60, helped dennoral- ize the Pirates in one worlds eer- ies, and then came back in 1928 to swing his war club against the Cardinals in the greatest of all series offenSives.
 He stands today on fairly fee ble feet, an appendicitis victim waiting the arrival of the Chicago Cubs, and in the great man there may be one final, historic display Ruth is like that. But the odds are gigantically against his ever duplicating the hitting storms ot 1927 and 1928, his eighth, ninth and last worlds series appearance up to this year.
 Swinging his mace for the fenc- es, Ruth stil hit 1856 for the sea son of 1921 The Tanks stormed into Pittsburgh for the start oi the series.

He rocketed a half dozen more, knocking the seats down like clap pigeons in shooting gallery. Lou Gehrig did the same And every bank was a clap of doom to the dumfounded Pirates.

WHICH HELEN FIRST?

Another nice little problem left on the doorstep of the United States Lawn Tennis Associations annual meeting will be the matter of ranking California's two famous Helens-Mrs. Moody, the acknow- ledged worlds champion and Miss Jacobs, winner of the national championship in the absence of the former Helen Wills.
 If precedent is followed again, Mrs. Moody will not be put in the No. I position because of "insuf- ficient data" She was left off the list under similar circumstances in 1880, when Mrs. Anna Harper of San Francisco, winner of the national title, was given the hon. or Miss Jacobs, therefore, prob ably will gain the No. position even though the honor is somewhat empty.
 The U. s. L. T. A. was some what piqued this year by Mrs. Moody's failure to return for the American championships after once more sweeping the courts of Eur ope. Talk was heard of withdraw | ing official membership of Mrs Moody's future trips abroad, with out some assurance of her return to attract U. s. gate receipts badly needed in these Davis cuples; ;, times.

WHO'S WHO OF

Member Of Our Class

Gene Eisenbrey is another mem
Der of our Senior Class of whom we
are proud. He came to our school
from Millwood in 1926. He entered
the seventh grade and has been with
us ever since. Gene is witty. He al
ways has something to say just a
little funnier than the other fellow.
We might bring out this fact a lit
tie better by giving an illustration.
This year in civics class Mr.. Bos-
ton asked one of the students lust
what kinds of cases were tried by
the Federal Courts. The pupil gave
reference to a person in one state
killing a person in another. Gene
quickly refiuted this answer. Then
Mr.. Boston asked him what he
thought the answer was. He said,
1T seems to me that thoy would
lynch him; that's the way they they
do in some places" (having refer
ence to recent lynchings). Although
Gene did not quite have the right
idea, he caused the class TO get a

mill. The swish, swish, of the wheel
became a familiar sound to every
one in this section until in 1872 the
great ravager, fire, destroyed it..
However, not daunted by his i'll luck
Mr.. Barber started out again, this
time to conduct a saw and plane
mill. Huge white oaks were hauled
in and again the familiar rumble
and creak of wagons was heard.
Sometimes for large boats the full
length of a giant oak would be used
as the keel. The pines that came
into this mill were fashioned into
peach crates during the days when
Delaware was famous for her peach
industry. The Caulks bought this
site from Mr.. Barber in 1899. Thus
again history closes upon the days
of one of Milford's most fourishing
industries.
