Now Collins has his eye turned
taword the first division.
Look what we cid last year with
one 800. hitter" Collins told me.
Earl Webb hit 1913 last year.
With one more like him, how we

That represents the story of Red
Sox weakness. Nobody to drive in
the runs.
And we would drive in the runs

not SO rosy. There are Fights In

VALLEY Dashiel, alternate second
! baseman, brought up from Chatta-
nooga, was 1925 hitter in the
Southern league last year, but he
has been trying for eight years to
make good in big league company
and thus far has feiled.
Pitchers Look Good
The Red SoX have some good
pitchers. MacFayden, Lisenbee.
Moore and Russell could win many
more games for the Yankees than
they win for the Red Sox. by reason
of the impotent Boston bats. Pete
Donohue has been added. But the
only Red SoX pitcher who won
more games than he lost last year
was MacFeyden. You just have to
get runs to win ball games.
No Hitting Catchcrs
The batting weakness extends TO
the catching department, Charley
Berry hit .2S3 last year, but Ed

Brooklyn, amassed an average of

DIPLOMAS GIVEN
Nine Washington Youths Are
Among Graduates at EIec-

Nine Washington youths were in
cluded in the class of 1SO graduates at
commencement exercises of the Bliss
Electrical School last night at the Me-
mortal Continental Hall. The local
graduates are William A. Brown,
Charles R. F. Casassa, S. ArmiStead
Coleman, William O. Grant, William C.
Lester, John A. McNaugnuon, Harry B.
Ragland, Charles w. Smith, jr, and
Richard B. Ste son.
Other graduates residing nearby are :
Robert A. Hilder, GlenCarlyn, Va. Rob-
ert P. Mcleod, Alexandria, Va, and
Harry A. Stacy, jr, Takoma Park. Md.
The commencement address was de-
livered by Merle Thorpe, editor of Ma
tion's Business. He said. in part:
In a very real sense the electrical
business is the business of civilization.
The young man who masters the tech
nology of electrical engineering very
definitely puts himself in a way to pro-
ject the humanitarian service of Edison,
the opportunity of this generation to
further the exploration of the vast po-
tential of electrical energy.
1T seems to me that the field of ap-
piled electricity is ever new, ever in
viting. InfleXible as its purely mathe-
matical concepts may be, electricity
works its wonders as much in the
realms of practical imagination as in
the domain of formalized science. No
bonds are imposed upon its practition-
ers save the horizons OF training, expert
ence, Judgment, confidence, vision and
resolution"

they lie close to the surface, at others

But so uniformity are they dis

sinking a pit every 100 yards and
sampling its gravel suffices to show
where the diamonds lie thickest These

states, reveal to within about 10 per

Wherever these fields are found, port

BRUNO FAMILY NOW
HAWKEYE RESIDENTS
A. M. DOugan Family Takes Up Farm.
ing Near Mason City, Iowa;
at Bruno Is Years.

The A. M. Dougan family who left
Bruno yesterday for their new home
at Mason City, Iowa, stopped to say
goodbye to friends in Askov and other
places in Pine county. Mr.. Dougan
and one son drove with their truck
and household goods while Mrs. Dou-
gan and the other two sons drove
in the touring car.
The Dougans have resided at Bruno
on the large farm just east of the viii
lage for Is years and it is distinct
loss to that community and the county
that they have moved out, for they
are aggressive, intelligent folks, al
ways making improvements and striv-
ing for good home surroundings. They
will live on Large 400 acre farm
near Mason City which they have
owned for some years and which Mr..
Dougan often travelled to Mason City
to look after. Some interests in the
Bruno community will draw Mr. Dou-
gan to Pine county now and then on
business errands. Their many friends
in Pine county wish them success in
their new home, but hope also that
the good climate here, the close to
nature atmosphere and the fact that
they spent a good share of their ac-
tive lifetime here may lure them back
to Pine county.
