PICKS YANKEES TO WIN AGAIN New York, Jan. 29.-(U.R)-The New York Yankees will win the American t"L Pennant again, according to WwarJ G Barrow, ! ” >,rP,ary and KPn ‘ era! manager of the club. S the next breath, he aaya tha H ,na Wagner is the greatest baseball niaver of all time and the Chicago White Sox of 1919 the best team in '"Xrow names his all-time baseball leaving off Eddie Collins and Rube Waddell among others. Having every American league team in Ltion since the organization gained Cognition in 1901 as a major league Harrow 1* qualified to make such nominations, but. evqn so. many old . in)Pl . s and rabid fans undoubtedly will take exception to some of his opinions. Barrow developed Hans Wagner and sold him to IxmisviEe for $2,100. He converted Babe Ruth from a southnaw pitcher to an outfielder. He managed the world champion Boston Red Sox of 1918. Barrow predicts the American Leagues will end the coming season as follows: I—New York. 2. Philadelphia. 3. Washington. 4—Detroit. 5. St. Louis. 6. -Cleveland. 7«— Chicago. B.—Boston. ■The Yankees will be stronger in the infield," Barrow says. “I think Lyn Lary will be a success at short and Mark Koenig will play better ball at third. Tony Lazzeri will report in good shape and Herb Pennock will turn in 20 victories.” Barrow thinks the five greatest players of all time, ranked in order, are: 1. Hans Wagner. 2. —Ty Cobb. 3. Larry Lajoie. 4—Babe Ruth. s.—Tris Speaker. “Hans Wagner could do more things better than Ty Cobb, who was only an ordinary fielder and thrower," Barrow says. ‘Babe Ruth is a great p ayer, but not in a class with Wagner, Cobb or Lajoie in all-round ability.” Only three National league players are placed on liarrow's all-time team which follows: First base —Hal Chase. Second base —Larry Lajoie. Third base—Jimmy Collins. Shortstop —Hans Wagner. Left field—Ty Cobb. Center field —Tris Speaker. ' Right field—Babe Ruth. Catcher —Ray Schalk. Pitchers—Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Herb Pennock. “For manager? Oh, well. I’d take the job myself and what an enjoyable summer a manager of that team could have." 0 Field Goals By Mark M. Upp After enjoying a nice rest this week, the Commodores will start on their final drive for the state and national Catholic high Championship next week. Eight more games remain on the schedule before the state tourney, four of them will be played here. This week's layoff should give the boys time to entirely recover from their illness. This Kendallville-Auburn game at Auburn last Saturday night must have been SOME scrap, a total of 35 personal fouls were called, 21 being 1 arged to the Red Devils. Four Ken's ville and two Auburn players were sent to the showers by the officials beore the end <of the game. Kendallville held a lead of 15-9 at the end of the 31 half.

Just further proof that the sectional meet at Decatur this year, will he some scramble. “It would suit Will Wynn to see Decatur and Berne mix up in the sectional tourney.

On Saturday night, Central plays North Side. Thinks Bears Are Good “Dear Mark: I am expecting the Bears to put up a great tournament fight, although 1 doubt if they can beat Decatur. They had a hard time against Kirkland, but after getting started once they outplayed them completely. I am »3t giving an alibi, but frankly think another game will leave the Bears well in front. They had the ball two-thirds of the time, but simply had tough luck in connecting. Time will tell, however, —A Berne Fan.” o BIG CHANGE IN SCHOOLS SHOWN Terre Haute, Ind., Jan. 29 —(UP) — Some interesting data on the school year 1864 in Tere Haute was bruoght out at a meeting of school trustees here by Supt. George Carroll when he brought an old record with him The number of schools in this city has increased from 21 to 505 in the past 35 years but the number of school trustees remains the same. Carroll said. The old record revealed that back in 1864 school board members served without pay and were elected by the city council. Today they receive SSOO a year and are elected by popular vote. The report showed that six of the 21 teachers that year were men and that their daily salary average $2.40 for men while the women got only $1.40. There were four schools in the city at that time. The 21 teachers taught 1,460 pupils. There were 70 pupils in each room or sometimes a few more The high school was in the same building with one of the grade schools. There were but 93 scholars with two

teachers. Albert Lange was then mayor of Terre Hauke and Oliver Morton was governor if Indiana. Bennie Hays was Terre Haute’s first public school teacher, the record revealed. He was principal of Ward four where “German was taught." o MINERS' RELIEF FUND EXHAUSTED Clinton, Ind.. Jan. 29—(UP)—There was no distribution of food and other articles from the miners’ commissary here last week, due to lack of funds. Only $42 is now on hand, not enough to buy the supply of soap which has been given weekly. The situation is one likely to result in suffering for several families who for many months, have had no means of support aside from the commissary, as there have been no earnings due to idleness of coal mines. Officers of the commissary have appealed to other Indiana miners some of whom are working, to contribute in an effort to relieve the situation. o Wise Profes.or It was an English college professor who said the right use of our leisure hours is a more difficult problem than the right use of our working hours.

Famous Cough Prescription Contains No Chloroform Or Other Harmful Drugs The use of medicines containing chloroform or dope to relieve coughing is dangerous and unnecessary. Now anyone can get quick sure relief with a famous prescription called Thoxine, which contains no chloroform or other harmful drugs and is safe and pleasant to take. Thoxine is thoroughly efficient because it has a double action —soothes the irritation—goes direct to the internal cause, and stops the cough almost instantly. Far superior to cough syrups and patent medicines. Also excellent for sore throat. Quick relief guaranteed or your money back. 35c, GOc and sl-00. Sold by Holthouse and all other good drug stores.

PRINCE OF WALES INSPECTS MINES Royal Welcome Accorded Him On His Arrival At Newcastle-On-Tyne Newcastle-on-Tyne, Jan, 29. (U.R) — A royal welcome was accorded the prince of Wales by a committee of one on his arrival here today to begin a Visit of inspection to coal districts. The Newcastle station master, fitted out in the finery of a top hat, was alone on the platform when Wales and his two pet dogs, Billie and George, left the train at 8:50 a. m. after an all-night ride from London. The prince went immediately to his rooms in a hotel before going to the town hall to be welcomed formally and informally by town officials and folk. Three kitchen maids stood on tables near the entrance of the hotel and brought a smile to the prince's face by giving him several rousing cheers. A crowd of townsfolk who had arrived at the hotel early to greet the prince doffed their hats and hurrahed him in unison. After his call on the mayor, the prince inspected a large warehouse, used as a clothes distributing center, before starting his visits to the mines. Snow had made the roads about Newcastle slushy, and the prince wore orange and brown rubbers as he began his inspection tour. A black derby, an old looking light grey suit, and a huge beige overcoat also were pait of the prince's costume. The prince manifested his first public interest in the -condition of the miners when he made a Christmas radio plea for funds to relieve them. The response was generous. The tour is expected to have the added value of increasing public sympathy for the miners, bringing further unsolicited contributions to the fund being raised by the Lord Mayor of London. The fund already totals approximately $2,535,000 and the governor has promised to match pound for pound subscribed. , —■ TOCSIN NEWS Miss Gladys Wasson is on the sick list suffering from tonsilitis.

LINES TIGHTEN IN OIL BATTLE Rockefellers And Stewart Each Claim Enough Proxies To Win New York, Jan. 29. —(U.R)-A possible effort to “proselyte” proxies was foreseen today as battle lines tightened in the fight for control of the Standard Oil company of Indiana. Thomas M. Debevoise, right hand man of John D. Rockefeller. Jr., in his attempt to unseat Robert W. Stewart as chairman of the company at the directors’ mating March 7, told the United Press he was “confident” Rockefeller would have enough proxies to win. That claim was disputed by George K. Bowden, Stewart’s proxy campaign represntative, in a statement expressing confidence in his chief’s ultimate triumph. i Wall Street observers pointed out that a proxy in the hand now is not necessarily a vote at the election March 7, since stockholders later may reserve themselves and send new proxies to the other side. Debevoise, speaking for Rockefeller, who is aboard, said: “We now feel confident of having enough proxies to control the election. We are still trying to obtain as many stockholders as possible on our side, for we are anxious to lead in the number of voters as well as in the volttmne of shareholders.” To that Bowden replied: “It should be remembered that there are 9,232,000 shares of stock divided among 58,000 stockholders. We. have already been assured of the votes of the majority of stockholders for Stewart, and his prospects are brightening every day.” —< o I HAVE BEEN APPOINTED distributor of the J. T.
